Abstract

The method involves forming a tubular fabric (11) by a woven material, where warp threads (3) of the fabric extend parallel to an extension axis (A) of the fabric. A strap ring is made from an axial section (16) of the fabric that is axially cut up by cutting the warp threads, where a weft thread (4) is extended between the warp threads. Side edges of the axial section are hemmed by folding down with the fabric toward an interior of the axial section along an orientation of extension of the warp threads and by circumferentially sewing the hems to a peripheral wall of the axial section.

Description

Domaine technique de l'invention.Technical Field of the Invention

La présente invention est du domaine du matériel pour les activités d'escalade, tels que les sports de grimpe ou activités analogue. La présente invention relève plus spécifiquement des anneaux de sangle qui sont formés à partir d'un tissu refermé en boucle sur lui-même, et qui sont exploités comme organe d'attache entre deux éléments à joindre l'un à l'autre.The present invention is in the field of equipment for climbing activities, such as climbing sports or similar activities. The present invention relates more specifically to webbing rings which are formed from a closed loop fabric on itself, and which are used as an attachment member between two elements to be joined to each other.

Etat de la technique.State of the art

Dans le domaine du matériel pour les activités d'escalade ou analogues, il est connu des anneaux de sangle qui sont utilisés pour joindre l'un à l'autre deux éléments. Les anneaux de sangle sont par exemple utilisés pour former une dégaine, en reliant entre eux à distance des organes d'attache tels que des anneaux de métal, des mousquetons ou organes d'attache analogues. Les anneaux de sangle sont par exemple encore utilisés pour raccorder entre elles des parties constitutives d'un harnais ou analogue, telles qu'un baudrier et des tours de cuisse. Les anneaux de sangle sont encore par exemple utilisés pour former un organe de fixation équipant un tel harnais, en vue de l'ancrage de divers accessoires d'escalade. On pourra à titre d'exemple se reporter aux documents FR2632195 (PETZL) ou FR2857879 (SNAP), qui décrivent diverses applications de tels anneaux de sangle.In the field of equipment for climbing activities or the like, there are known webbing rings which are used to join two elements to one another. The strap rings are for example used to form a quickdraw, connecting them remotely fastening members such as metal rings, carabiners or similar fasteners. The strap rings are for example still used to connect together components of a harness or the like, such as a harness and leg loops. The strap rings are still for example used to form a fastening member equipping such a harness, for anchoring various climbing accessories. For example, see the documents FR2632195 (PETZL) or FR2857879 (SNAP), which describe various applications of such webbing rings.

Les anneaux de sangle sont couramment issus d'un matériau tissé à partir de fils synthétiques, à base de polyamide ou de polyéthylène, ou de polyester notamment, et doivent procurer une résistance mécanique adaptée à leur utilisation sécurisée pour les activités d'escalade. Les anneaux de sangle sont traditionnellement obtenus à partir d'une bande de matériau tissé qui est refermée en boucle sur elle-même, et dont les extrémités sont fixées l'une à l'autre, par couture, par nouage ou par l'intermédiaire d'un organe de raccordement par exemple. On pourra par exemple se reporter aux documents FR2881035 (ZEDEL), FR2870686 (TECHNI SANGLES) qui décrivent de tels anneaux de sangles.The strap rings are commonly derived from a material woven from synthetic yarns, based on polyamide or polyethylene, or polyester in particular, and must provide a mechanical strength adapted to their safe use for climbing activities. The strap rings are traditionally obtained from a strip of woven material which is closed in a loop on itself, and whose ends are fixed to one another by sewing, by knotting or by means of a connecting member for example. For example, we can refer to the documents FR2881035 (Zedel) FR2870686 (TECHNI STRAPS) which describe such rings of straps.

Les bandes à partir desquelles sont formés les anneaux de sangle sont traditionnellement issues d'un flan formé par tissage à chaîne et trame. La chaîne comporte un ensemble de fils de chaîne qui sont disposés parallèlement les uns aux autres, et qui procurent un support pour au moins un fil de trame qui circule entre les fils de chaîne. Pour obtenir une bande, le flan est découpé de sorte que les fils de chaîne soient orientés suivant le sens de la longueur de bande. La bande étant refermée en boucle sur elle-même par fixation de ses extrémités longitudinales entre elles, les fils de chaîne procurant la résistance de l'anneau de sangle à l'encontre de la traction à laquelle il est destiné à être soumis.The bands from which the webbing rings are formed are traditionally derived from a blank formed by warp and weft weaving. The chain comprises a set of warp threads which are arranged parallel to one another, and which provide a support for at least one weft thread which circulates between the warp threads. To obtain a web, the blank is cut so that the warp threads are oriented in the direction of the web length. The band being closed in a loop on itself by fixing its longitudinal ends together, the warp son providing the resistance of the strap ring against the traction to which it is intended to be subjected.

De telles modalités de fabrication d'un anneau de sangle méritent d'être améliorées, pour permettre son obtention à moindres coûts en offrant une faculté de résistance à la fatigue et à la rupture qui est optimisée.Such methods of manufacturing a strap ring deserve to be improved, to enable it to be obtained at lower cost by offering an optimized resistance to fatigue and rupture.

Objet de l'invention.Object of the invention

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un procédé de fabrication d'un anneau de sangle issu d'un matériau tissé, qui procure une obtention de l'anneau de sangle à moindres coûts tout en lui conférant une résistance à la fatigue et à la rupture qui est optimisée, pour une structure donnée des fils de chaîne et du ou des fils de trame.The object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a webbing ring made from a woven material, which provides a obtaining of the strap ring at lower costs while giving it a resistance to fatigue and the break which is optimized, for a given structure of the warp son and weft son or son.

La présente invention vise aussi à proposer un anneau de sangle obtenu à partir de la mise en oeuvre du procédé de la présente invention, qui procure une résistance à la fatigue et à la rupture qui est optimisée pour une structure donnée des fils formant le tissu à partir duquel il est issu.The present invention also aims to provide a strap ring obtained from the implementation of the method of the present invention, which provides a resistance to fatigue and fracture which is optimized for a given structure of the son forming the fabric. from which he came.

La présente invention propose aussi de mettre à profit les caractéristiques de résistance à la fatigue et à l'usure d'un tel anneau de sangle, pour former divers accessoires d'escalade, harnais et dégaine notamment.The present invention also proposes to take advantage of the characteristics of fatigue and wear resistance of such a strap ring, to form various climbing accessories, harness and quickdraw in particular.

Le procédé de la présente invention est un procédé de fabrication d'un accessoire d'escalade constitué d'un anneau de sangle. L'anneau de sangle est issu d'un matériau tissé à fils de chaîne et à au moins un fil de trame qui s'étend entre les fils de chaîne.The method of the present invention is a method of manufacturing a climbing accessory consisting of a strap ring. The strap ring is made from a warp-knit material and at least one weft yarn which extends between the warp yarns.

Selon la présente invention, le procédé de fabrication de l'anneau de sangle est principalement reconnaissable en ce que le matériau tissé est un tissu tubulaire dont les fils de chaîne s'étendent parallèlement à l'axe d'extension du tissu tubulaire. L'anneau de sangle est issu d'un tronçon axial du tissu tubulaire, qui est axialement débité par tranchage des fils de chaîne. Le tronçon axial débité du tissu tubulaire est conformé en boucle exempt de moyens de fixation rapportés spécifiquement dédiés à son maintien en conformation en boucle, et des ourlets latéraux sont préférentiellement ménagés par rabat des faces de bout du tronçon.According to the present invention, the method of manufacturing the strap ring is mainly recognizable in that the woven material is a tubular fabric whose warp yarns extend parallel to the axis of extension of the tubular fabric. The strap ring is derived from an axial section of the tubular fabric, which is axially cut by slicing the warp threads. The axial section delivered from the tubular fabric is shaped in a loop without attaching means specifically dedicated to its maintenance in loop conformation, and lateral hems are preferably formed by flap end faces of the section.

Plus spécifiquement, le procédé de fabrication comprend les opérations suivantes :

  • *) Tisser un tissu tubulaire à fils de chaîne et au moins un fil de trame, les fils de chaîne s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe d'extension du tissu tubulaire et le fil de trame au moins s'étendant en spirale entre les fils de chaîne,
  • *) Débiter des tronçons axiaux du tissu tubulaire par tranchage des fils de chaîne, chaque tronçon formant une boucle à partir de laquelle est formé un anneau de sangle respectif.
More specifically, the manufacturing process comprises the following operations:
  • *) Weave a tubular warp fabric and at least one weft yarn, the warp yarns extending parallel to the extension axis of the tubular fabric and the weft yarn at least spirally extending between the yarns chain son,
  • *) Debiting axial sections of the tubular fabric by slicing the warp son, each section forming a loop from which is formed a respective strap ring.

De préférence, le procédé comprend une opération supplémentaire de formation d'ourlets latéraux à au moins un retour, par rabat latéral et couture circonférentielle des ourlets à la paroi périphérique du tronçon.Preferably, the method comprises an additional operation of forming lateral hems with at least one back, by side flap and circumferential sewing of the hems to the peripheral wall of the section.

La résistance de l'anneau de sangle à l'encontre d'efforts de traction exercés radialement, est procurée par le fil de trame qui s'étend entre les fils de chaîne en spirale continue d'un bord latéral à l'autre de la boucle. Pour un fil de trame de structure donnée, l'anneau de sangle est robuste, les efforts de traction étant supportés par l'ensemble des spires successives du fil de trame. Les caractéristiques structurelles du fil de trame sont à considérer notamment au regard de sa section, du nombre de brins qui le composent et/ou du matériau dont il est issu.The resistance of the webbing ring against radially exerted tensile stresses is provided by the weft yarn extending between the continuous spiral warp yarns from one side edge to the other side of the web. loop. For a weft yarn of given structure, the strap ring is robust, the tensile forces being supported by all the successive turns of the weft yarn. The structural characteristics of the weft yarn are to be considered in particular with regard to its section, the number of strands that compose it and / or the material from which it is derived.

L'obtention de la conformation en boucle fermée sur elle-même de l'anneau de sangle est réalisée à partir de l'opération de débitage axial du tissu tubulaire, en étant exempte d'opérations d'assemblage, telles que de couture ou analogue. L'opération de débitage axial du tissu tubulaire est susceptible d'être facilement effectuée à cadences élevées et à moindres coûts, indifféremment en sortie d'un poste de tissage du tissu tubulaire ou en un atelier spécialisé qui est spécifiquement dédié à l'opération de débitage axial. L'extension axiale de chacun des tronçons détermine la largeur de la boucle obtenue, qui est elle-même en finalité déterminante de la largeur de l'anneau de sangle. Le débitage axial du tissu tubulaire peut être facilement effectué selon diverses extensions axiales de chacun des tronçons en fonction des besoins, en évitant des opérations fastidieuses de réglage de la machine de découpe utilisée pour extraire l'anneau de sangle du tissu tubulaire.Obtaining the closed loop conformation on itself of the strap ring is made from the operation of axial cutting of the tubular fabric, being free of assembly operations, such as sewing or the like . The operation of axial cutting of the tubular fabric is likely to be easily carried out at high rates and at lower cost, regardless of the output of a weaving station of the tubular fabric or a specialized workshop which is specifically dedicated to the operation of axial cutting. The axial extension of each of the sections determines the width of the loop obtained, which is itself a determining end of the width of the strap ring. Axial cutting of the tubular fabric can be easily performed according to various axial extensions of each of the sections as needed, avoiding tedious adjustment operations of the cutting machine used to extract the webbing ring from the tubular fabric.

Les bords latéraux du tronçon sont de préférence ourlés, pour préserver les extrémités libres des fils de chaîne affleurant ou émergeant latéralement, et pour augmenter l'épaisseur globale de l'anneau de sangle obtenu. Les ourlets sont notamment ménagés aux bords latéraux du tronçon, par rabat à au moins un retour du tissu vers l'intérieur du tronçon suivant l'orientation d'extension des fils de chaîne. Les ourlets sont fixés par couture circonférentielle des ourlets à la paroi périphérique du tronçon. D'autres moyens de fixation analogues des ourlets à la paroi périphérique du tronçon sont susceptibles d'être exploités.The lateral edges of the section are preferably hemmed, to preserve the free ends of the flush or laterally emerging warp threads, and to increase the overall thickness of the strap ring obtained. The hems are in particular formed at the lateral edges of the section, by flap at least one return of the fabric to the inside of the section according to the extension direction of the warp son. The hems are fixed by circumferential sewing of the hems to the peripheral wall of the section. Other similar fastening means of the hems to the peripheral wall of the section are likely to be exploited.

Selon une forme de réalisation, le diamètre des zones du tissu tubulaire, et du tronçon duquel il est issu, correspondantes aux retours formés par les dits rabats, est inférieur au diamètre périphérique du tissu tubulaire correspondant à la face extérieure de la paroi périphérique du tronçon. De telles dispositions permettent d'éviter un déséquilibre entre les tensions auxquelles est soumis le fil de trame dans les différentes zones correspondantes respectivement au retour formé par le rabat et à la face extérieure de la paroi périphérique de l'anneau de sangle obtenu. Les différences de diamètre du tissu tubulaire, pour chacune des zones correspondantes aux retours, correspond notamment à une diminution de l'ordre du double de l'épaisseur du fil de trame.According to one embodiment, the diameter of the zones of the tubular tissue, and the section from which it is derived, corresponding to the returns formed by said flaps, is smaller than the peripheral diameter of the tubular fabric corresponding to the outer face of the peripheral wall of the section. . Such arrangements make it possible to avoid an imbalance between the tensions to which the weft is subjected in the different zones respectively corresponding to the return formed by the flap and to the outer face of the peripheral wall of the strap ring obtained. The differences in diameter of the tubular fabric, for each of the zones corresponding to the returns, corresponds in particular to a reduction of the order of twice the thickness of the weft yarn.

Les rabats sont par exemple chacun à deux retours successifs, dont un retour de couverture d'un retour d'extrémité. Les zones du tronçon, et du tissu tubulaire duquel il est issu, correspondantes aux retours de couverture, sont d'un diamètre inférieur au diamètre des zones du tronçon, et du tissu tubulaire dont il est issu, correspondantes aux retours d'extrémité, qui sont elles mêmes d'un diamètre inférieur au diamètre périphérique du tissu tubulaire.The flaps are for example each two returns, including a return cover of an end return. The zones of the section, and the tubular fabric from which it is derived, corresponding to the cover returns, are of a diameter less than the diameter of the zones of the section, and the tubular fabric from which it is derived, corresponding to the end returns, which are themselves of a diameter smaller than the peripheral diameter of the tubular tissue.

Selon une forme particulière de réalisation selon laquelle l'anneau de sangle est exploité pour former une dégaine, le tronçon est aplati et cousu transversalement, en formant un aplat médian de l'anneau de sangle bordé par des oeillets d'extrémité. La notion de couture transversale est à considérer s'étendant entre les deux bords latéraux de l'anneau de sangle, tel que sensiblement suivant l'orientation d'extension des fils de chaîne, voire suivant une inclinaison significative des coutures par rapport à cette orientation.According to a particular embodiment in which the strap ring is used to form a quickdraw, the section is flattened and stitched transversely, forming a middle flattened strap ring bordered by end eyelets. The concept of transverse stitching is to be considered extending between the two lateral edges of the strap ring, such as substantially following the extension direction of the warp threads, or even following a significant inclination of the seams relative to this orientation. .

L'anneau de sangle qui est obtenu à partir de la mise en oeuvre du procédé de l'invention tel que décrit, est agencé en une boucle refermée sur elle-même. La boucle formant la paroi périphérique de l'anneau de sangle est exempte de moyens d'assemblage spécifiquement dédiés au maintien en conformation de la boucle refermée sur elle-même, notamment des moyens d'assemblage rapportés tels que des coutures par exemple.The strap ring which is obtained from the implementation of the method of the invention as described, is arranged in a loop closed on itself. The loop forming the peripheral wall of the strap ring is free assembly means specifically dedicated to maintaining in conformation of the loop closed on itself, including reported assembly means such as seams, for example.

La boucle étant issue d'un matériau tissé à fils de chaîne et au moins un fil de trame, on reconnaîtra notamment un anneau de sangle de la présente invention en ce que les fils de chaîne sont orientés suivant l'extension axiale de la boucle, et en ce que le fil de trame s'étend en spirale continue entre les fils de chaîne, d'un bord latéral à l'autre de la paroi périphérique de l'anneau de sangle.The loop being derived from a woven material warp son and at least one weft yarn, we recognize in particular a strap ring of the present invention in that the warp son are oriented along the axial extension of the loop, and in that the weft yarn extends in a continuous spiral between the warp yarns, from one side edge to the other of the peripheral wall of the strap ring.

La paroi périphérique de l'anneau de sangle est de préférence doublée par des ourlets intérieurs à au moins un retour, qui sont respectivement ménagés par rabat des bords latéraux de la paroi périphérique de l'anneau de sangle. Selon une forme préférée de réalisation, les ourlets comportent chacun deux retours supposés et assemblés, notamment par couture, à la paroi périphérique de l'anneau de sangle.The peripheral wall of the webbing ring is preferably doubled by at least one inner hems, which are respectively formed by flap of the lateral edges of the peripheral wall of the webbing ring. According to a preferred embodiment, the hems each comprise two supposed returns and assembled, in particular by sewing, to the peripheral wall of the strap ring.

Selon une forme préférée de réalisation, au moins le fil de trame, sinon aussi les fils de chaîne, sont issus d'un matériau synthétique à base de polyéthylène ou autre matériau analogue réputé offrir une forte résistance à la fatigue et à la rupture en traction. Le matériau utilisé dont est issu le fil de trame, est de préférence un matériau synthétique robuste, notamment à base de polyéthylène. Les fils de chaîne ne formant qu'un support pour le fil de trame, les fils de chaîne peuvent être issus d'un matériau synthétique moins robuste, tel qu'un matériau polyamide.According to a preferred embodiment, at least the weft yarn, if not also the warp yarns, are derived from a synthetic material based on polyethylene or other similar material deemed to offer a high resistance to fatigue and tensile failure. . The material used from which the weft yarn originates is preferably a robust synthetic material, in particular based on polyethylene. The warp son forming only a support for the weft yarn, the warp son may be derived from a less robust synthetic material, such as a polyamide material.

Selon une généralité de structure des fils formant l'anneau de sangle, l'un quelconque des fils de chaîne et du fil de trame est indifféremment un fil monobrin ou un fil multibrins. Le fil de trame est susceptible d'être un fil monobrin, ou d'être avantageusement un fil multibrins pour accroître sa résistance pour une section donnée. Les fils de chaîne ne formant qu'un support pour le fil de trame, leur structure en fil monobrin est exploitable. Potentiellement, les fils de chaîne sont aussi susceptibles d'être des fils multibrins.According to a general structure of the son forming the strap ring, any of the warp son and the weft yarn is indifferently a single-strand or a multi-strand wire. The weft yarn is likely to be a single-strand wire, or advantageously be a multi-strand wire to increase its strength for a given section. The warp son forming only a support for the weft yarn, their single-strand wire structure is exploitable. Potentially, warp yarns are also likely to be stranded yarns.

Un anneau de sangle de la présente invention tel que décrit est susceptible d'être appliqué pour de nombreux matériels et accessoires d'escalade. Par exemple, un harnais relevant de la présente invention est susceptible d'intégrer un ou plusieurs anneaux de sangles tels que décrit. Un anneau de sangle de la présente invention est susceptible de joindre entre elles des parties constitutives du harnais, tel qu'un baudrier avec des tours de cuisse, et/ou de constituer un organe d'ancrage d'un accessoire d'escalade au harnais.A strap ring of the present invention as described is likely to be applied for many climbing gear and accessories. For example, a harness according to the present invention is capable of integrating one or more rings of straps as described. A strap ring of the present invention is capable of joining together constituent parts of the harness, such as a harness with thigh turns, and / or constituting an anchoring member of a climbing accessory to the harness. .

Par exemple encore, une dégaine relevant de la présente invention est susceptible d'intégrer un ou plusieurs anneaux de sangle tels que décrits. Un anneau de sangle de la présente invention comportant un dit aplat médian bordé par des oeillets d'extrémité, est susceptible de former un lien de jonction entre au moins deux organes d'attache, tels que des anneaux de métal et/ou des mousquetons par exemple.For example still, a quickdraw according to the present invention is likely to integrate one or more webbing rings as described. A strap ring of the present invention having a said middle flattened area bordered by end eyelets, is capable of forming a connecting link between at least two fastening members, such as metal rings and / or carabiners by example.

  • The fig.5 is a perspective illustration of a quickdraw link formed from a strap ring depicted on the fig.1 and fig.2 .

Sur les fig.1 et fig.2, un accessoire d'escalade est constitué d'un anneau de sangle 1 conformé en boucle refermée sur elle-même. L'anneau de sangle 1 est issu d'un tissu à fils de chaîne 3 et au moins un fil de trame 4. Les fils de chaîne 3 s'étendent suivant une orientation correspondante à l'orientation axiale A de l'anneau de sangle 1. Le fil de trame 4 s'étend en spirale d'un bord latéral à l'autre de l'anneau de sangle 1.On the fig.1 and fig.2 , a climbing accessory consists of a loop ring 1 shaped loop closed on itself. The strap ring 1 is derived from a warp yarn 3 and at least one weft yarn 4. The warp yarns 3 extend in an orientation corresponding to the axial orientation A of the strap ring 1. The weft yarn 4 extends spirally from one side edge to the other of the strap ring 1.

L'anneau de sangle 1 comporte des ourlets 5,6 latéraux, qui sont formés par rabat latéral du tissu à deux retours 7,8 vers l'intérieur de l'anneau de sangle, suivant l'extension des fils de chaîne 3 de l'anneau de sangle 1. L'un des retours est un retour d'extrémité 8 et un autre retour est un retour de couverture 7 du retour d'extrémité 8. Les ourlets 5,6 latéraux sont chacun fixés à la paroi périphérique 2 de l'anneau de sangle 1, par coutures circonférentielles 9,10.The strap ring 1 has lateral hems 5,6, which are formed by lateral flap of the two-return fabric 7,8 towards the inside of the strap ring, according to the extension of the warp threads 3 of the 1. One of the returns is an end return 8 and another return is a back cover 7 of the end return 8. The side seams 5.6 are each attached to the peripheral wall 2 of the strap ring 1, by circumferential seams 9,10.

Sur la fig.3, l'anneau de sangle représenté sur les fig.1 et fig.2 est issu d'un tissu tubulaire 11, qui est axialement débité en une pluralité de tronçons 16 à partir desquels sont respectivement formés des anneaux de sangle. Le tissu tubulaire 11 comporte des fils de chaîne 3 qui sont orientés parallèlement suivant l'extension axiale A du tissu tubulaire 11, et un fil de trame 4 qui est enroulé en spirale en périphérie du tissu tubulaire 11 en s'étendant entre les fils de chaîne 3. Le tronçon 16 à partir duquel est formé l'anneau de sangle, est débité du tissu tubulaire 11 par tranchage des fils de chaîne 3 suivant une extension axiale correspondante à la largeur de l'anneau de sangle à obtenir, augmentée de la largeur de tissu nécessaire à la formation des ourlets latéraux.On the fig.3 , the strap ring shown on the fig.1 and fig.2 is derived from a tubular fabric 11, which is axially cut into a plurality of sections 16 from which webbing rings are respectively formed. The tubular fabric 11 comprises warp threads 3 which are oriented parallel to the axial extension A of the tubular fabric 11, and a weft thread 4 which is wound in a spiral around the periphery of the tubular fabric 11, extending between the threads of the tubular fabric 11 chain 3. The section 16 from which the webbing ring is formed is cut from the tubular fabric 11 by slicing the warp threads 3 along an axial extension corresponding to the width of the webbing ring to be obtained, increased by width of fabric necessary for the formation of lateral hems.

Le tissu tubulaire 11 représenté sur la fig.3 est à diamètre constant. Il est cependant préféré de conférer au tissu tubulaire 11 des variations de diamètre, tel que représenté sur la fig.4.The tubular fabric 11 shown on the fig.3 is at constant diameter. It is, however, preferred to impart to the tubular fabric 11 variations in diameter, as shown in FIG. fig.4 .

Sur la fig.4, un tronçon 16' est issu d'un tissu tubulaire du type à fils de chaîne et au moins un fil de trame tel que représenté sur la fig.3. Le tronçon 16' comporte des zones 8',7',2' de différents diamètres DE, DC, D permettant d'ourler les bords latéraux de l'anneau de sangle en évitant des différences de tension dans le fil de trame à l'issu de la formation des ourlets. De telles différences de tension sont susceptibles d'être induites en raison de la formation par rabats successifs des différents retours que comportent les ourlets. Des zones d'extrémité 8' du tronçon 16' correspondent à un retour d'extrémité respectif, et sont d'un diamètre DE supérieur au diamètre DC de zones intermédiaires 7' du tronçon 16', et inférieur au diamètre D d'une zone médiane 2' du tronçon 16'. Les zones intermédiaires 7' correspondent à des zones du tronçon 16' formant des retours de couverture. La zone médiane 2' correspond à une zone du tronçon 16' formant la face extérieure de la paroi périphérique de l'anneau de sangle.On the fig.4 , a section 16 'is derived from a warp-type tubular fabric and at least one weft thread as shown in FIG. fig.3 . The section 16 'has zones 8', 7 ', 2' of different diameters DE, DC, D making it possible to hem the edges side of the webbing ring avoiding tension differences in the weft yarn at the end of the formation of the hems. Such voltage differences are likely to be induced due to the formation by successive flaps of the different returns that comprise the hems. End regions 8 'of the section 16' correspond to a respective end return, and have a diameter DE greater than the diameter DC of intermediate zones 7 'of the section 16', and less than the diameter D of a zone median 2 'of the section 16'. Intermediate zones 7 'correspond to zones of section 16' forming cover returns. The median zone 2 'corresponds to a zone of the section 16' forming the outer face of the peripheral wall of the strap ring.

L'extension axiale de la zone médiane 2' correspond à l'extension axiale de chacun des groupes de zones 7',8' comprenant une zone d'extrémité 8' augmentée de la zone intermédiaire 7' qui est interposée entre cette zone d'extrémité 8' et la zone médiane 2. Après formation des ourlets (5,6 fig. 1 et fig.2), l'épaisseur de l'anneau de sangle obtenu correspond au triple de l'épaisseur du tronçon 16' à partir duquel l'anneau de sangle est formé, tel que particulièrement visible sur la fig.2.The axial extension of the median zone 2 'corresponds to the axial extension of each of the groups of zones 7', 8 'comprising an end zone 8' increased by the intermediate zone 7 'which is interposed between this zone of 8 'end and the middle zone 2. After hems formation (5.6 Fig. 1 and fig.2 ), the thickness of the strap ring obtained corresponds to three times the thickness of the section 16 'from which the strap ring is formed, as particularly visible on the fig.2 .

Sur la fig.5, l'anneau de sangle1 représenté sur les fig.1 et fig.2 est aplati en zone médiane pour former un aplat médian 12 par superposition de deux parties opposées de l'anneau de sangle. L'aplat médian 12 est bordé par deux oeillets d'extrémité 13,14 qui sont destinés à recevoir des organes d'attache, tels que des anneaux ou des mousquetons, pour former une dégaine. L'aplat médian 12 est maintenu en conformation par des coutures transversales 15, qui s'étendent entre les bords latéraux de l'anneau de sangle, parallèlement aux fils de chaîne 3.On the fig.5 , the strap ring1 shown on the fig.1 and fig.2 is flattened in the median area to form a middle solid 12 by superposition of two opposite parts of the strap ring. The median flat surface 12 is bordered by two end eyelets 13, 14 which are intended to receive attachment members, such as rings or carabiners, to form a quickdraw. The median flat surface 12 is held in conformation by transverse seams 15, which extend between the lateral edges of the strap ring, parallel to the warp threads 3.
