Abstract
An endless flat band has a spirally placed, straight pulling element in the form of a thread or a wire extending in the direction of movement. A transverse connection is generated by loops and at least partially by a binding agent, wherein at least one spiral of the pulling element is inserted into a tubular fabric in the knitting machine. Because the spiral is inserted already straightened into a right/right transfer construction between loops or loops and tuck loops, it is achieved that a symmetrical fabric is made which increases the service life of the flat band and improves the useful properties.
