Abstract
A reinforcing web constituted by substantially parallel and spaced-apart warp threads and by pairs of reinforcing threads, each shaped in the form of successive half-loops alternating in a weft direction. The successive half-loops of the reinforcing threads in each pair extend in opposite directions, and the pairs of threads are spaced apart from one another in such manner that the half-loops of the threads corresponding to two successive pairs overlap and together define closed loops which are set by means of flexible binding stitches formed in the overlap zones between the two half-loops and the warp threads. At least some of the reinforcing threads are constituted by metal tows. The reinforcing web is suitable for application to the seats of public transport vehicles.
