The use of such warp threads makes it possible to form a second zone 9b which is flexible and which allows sewing operations. The second zone 9b is a privileged zone for carrying out the assembly of the strap with other elements. On the contrary, the first zone 9a made from monofilaments is not practical for making seams.

Two first consecutive zones 9a are separated by a second zone 9b. In a particular case, the first and second zones 9a and 9b are placed alternately along the longitudinal axis of the strap 9. In this embodiment, the first zones 9a act as support bands for the thigh circumference 4.

  • An alternative embodiment more precise may consist in sewing the adjustment member which comprises for example a clip 3b.
  • connection strap 8 is particularly advantageous in a harness 1 where the thigh loop 4 can open so as to facilitate the putting on of the harness on the user. Under many conditions, the user does not have the possibility of passing his foot through the thigh loop 4. It is then particularly advantageous to be able to open and close the thigh loop 4.

  • the two second zones 9b can be sewn together so as to close the thigh loop 4.
  • the trigger guard 6 and / or the connection strap 8 are formed by an additional strap if necessary.
  • This embodiment is less advantageous because it requires the production of a bridge 6 which will ensure the absorption of forces and therefore additional stitching steps.
  • the thigh circumference is non-adjustable.
  • first and second zones 9a and 9b with specific groups of warp yarns and a third zone 9c which contains all the warp yarns. It is still possible to provide additional zones where a part of the warp threads of the second group of warp threads 10b is associated with a part of the third group of warp threads 10c to form a fourth group of warp threads.
  • the unused threads in areas 9a and / or 9b can be eliminated.
  • the ends of the son forming the second group of warp son 10b are then found at one of the edges of the second zone 9b and / or the ends of the son forming the third group of warp son 10c at one of the edges of the first zone 9a.
  • the term “border” is understood to mean the junction between two consecutive zones of the strap, ie a junction defined in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the strap.
  • the warp threads which are not used in the first zone 9a and / or in the second zone 9b are kept and woven with another weft thread to form another strap.
  • the strap 9 can be split. By doubling is meant that the strap 9 is unique in an initial zone and then doubled thereafter. Each portion of the split strap comprises one or more warp threads woven with a weft thread. This embodiment avoids sewing a first strap on a second strap so that they share part of the forces undergone.
  • the double straps are mechanically independent except at the starting point.
  • the two straps 9 coming from the split share warp threads with the single portion.
  • Each of the split straps comprises at least warp threads and at least one weft thread.
  • the first zones 9a and / or the second zones 9b can be duplicated.
  • the splitting can be initiated for example in third zones 9c forming the junction between the first zone 9a and the second zone 9b. There is then an additional webbing woven by means of the third group of warp threads 10c and which starts at one of the edges of the first zone 9a and / or an additional webbing woven by means of the second group of warp threads 10b and which starts at one of the borders of the second zone 9b.
  • the split then forms the first zone 9a or the second zone 9b and an additional strap.
  • the splitting is used for the belt 3.
  • the first zone 9a is formed as indicated above.
  • the warp threads not used to form the zone 9a or a part of these warp threads are woven to form an additional strap which is arranged to form one or more equipment carriers.
  • the additional strap is advantageously cut and fixed so as to start the equipment carriers on each side of the harness.
  • the second zone 9b is also possible to provide for the second zone 9b to be formed as indicated above.
  • the warp threads not used to form the zone 9b or a part of these threads are woven to form an additional strap which is arranged to come to fall back on the first zone 9a and form for example a material holder or another element of hooking up.
  • this embodiment is less resistant than the previous one.
  • the second zone 9b defining the trigger guard 6 is split so as to limit the movement of the central ring 7.
  • the zone 9b defining the trigger guard 6 is formed as indicated above, and the unused threads are woven to form an additional strap.
  • the zone 9b and the additional strap are mechanically separated out of the doubling zones and they define a space inside which the central ring 7 can move.
  • the additional strap limiting the movement of the central ring is formed from the doubling of one of the zones 9a forming the support zone of a thigh loop 4.
  • the additional strap is cut to form two ends of strap 9.
  • One of the ends of additional strap is folded in the direction of trigger guard 6.
  • the areas 9a may be doubled over the two thigh loops 4 so as to form two additional straps.
  • the two additional straps are cut and two of the strap ends formed are folded back towards the trigger guard and are fixed to one another, for example by stitching.
  • the movement of the central ring 7 is limited on one side by the trigger guard 6 and on the other by the two ends of strap fixed to one another.
  • the other end of the additional strap can be cut or used to close the thigh circumference which is then non-adjustable. It is also possible to fix an adjustment device 3 between the end of the first zone 9a and the trigger guard 6 and to use the remaining additional end of strap to cooperate with the adjustment device 3 either by means of a clip or directly. by working with a buckle as for the belt.
  • the embodiment with a clip is illustrated for example on figure 1 .
  • the trigger guard 6 can be formed by a third zone 9c to avoid any sewing and / or cutting operation on the pair of thigh loops.

  • an additional strap is formed facing the first zone 9a. This additional strap is cut so as to increase the surface of the first zone 9a which supports the thigh of the user.
  • an additional strap is formed by splitting the strap 9 facing the first zone 9a.
  • the additional strap 9a is cut to form two pieces of additional straps.
  • the two ends of the strap are fixed to one another to define the dimension of the thigh circumference.
  • an adjustment device 3 is attached to one of the ends of the strap, for example a buckle. The other end of the strap cooperates with the buckle to form a device for adjusting the thigh circumference 4.
  • an element of an adjusting device 3 is attached to each of the additional strap ends, by example clips.
  • the strap 9 it is also advantageous for the strap 9 to have at least two identical weft threads 11 to facilitate the starting of the split zones.
  • the weaver used to weave the strap 9 must have a double weaver function and be able to form two superimposed straps from a single strap.
  • the framer must be configured to separate the warp yarns 11 into two distinct bundles and to associate a weft yarn with each bundle so as to form the two portions of the second zone 9b.
