This disclosure generally relates to a hammock strap. The hammock strap includes an elongated length of strap material that is separated into a first strap and a second strap. The first strap and the second strap are woven together at one or more separation points to form eyelets between the first strap and the second strap.

A cable wrapping tape, in particular for the engine compartment of an automobile, has a strip-like carrier (1) consisting of fabric, said carrier is provided at least on one side with a self-adhering adhesive layer (2) which consists of a pressure-sensitive adhesive, wherein the fabric of the carrier (1) consists of a yarn (3a, 3b) which is formed from a polyamide material and which has a yarn strength of at least 280 dtex. The yarn (3a, 3b) is formed from 24 to 80 filaments (4), and the cable wrapping tape meets abrasion class E according to LV 312 both on a mandrel having a 5 mm diameter and on a mandrel having a 10 mm diameter. For increasing the abrasion resistance, it is proposed that the filaments (4) are twisted with one another about a central longitudinal axis (X-X) of the yarn (3a, 3b).

A braided filamentary device, in one embodiment, includes a substantially flat morphology having a length, a width, and a height, and a pick count of at least about 50 picks per inch. The filamentary device is adapted to maintain its width while under a tension.

A webbing formed of synthetic yams having an indicator for indicating exposure to abrasion which results in strength loss of said synthetic yams. The strength toss indicator comprises a strip extending the length of the webbing placed between two layers of additional webbing. As the webbing is abraded the top layer of webbing is worn down exposing the middle layer of colored yarn acting as the warning indicator. Correlated to the rate of loss of tensile strength of said synthetic yarns due to abrasion.

Described are implants, intermediate articles of manufacture (web constructions) useful for preparing implants, methods of forming the implants and intermediate articles, and related methods for treating pelvic conditions by use of the implants. The present invention relates generally to surgical implants (i.e., implants), intermediate articles of manufacture (web constructions) useful for preparing surgical implants, methods of forming the implants and intermediate articles, and related methods for treating pelvic conditions by use of the implants.

The invention relates to a process to make films and tapes from ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in the solid state. The films and tapes according to the invention have an improved thickness whereby the coefficient of variation of the thickness of the film of at most 6%.

This disclosure generally relates to a hammock strap. The hammock strap includes an elongated length of strap material that is separated into a first strap and a second strap. The first strap and the second strap are woven together at one or more separation points to form eyelets between the first strap and the second strap.

A wear-resistant adhesive tape for wrapping cables in an automobiles. The tape is a textile support strip made of warp yarns and weft yarns and in which each of the yarns is made of polyester or polyamide with a yarn fineness of at least 40 dtex. An adhesive coating is provided on at least one face of the strip. The warp yarns are formed as multi-warp yarns or the weft yarns are formed as multi-weft yarns.

A woven trim piece is provided that utilizes grip yarns in the warp direction to increase the coefficient of friction of the trim piece. The grip yarns are interlaced with a plurality of filling yarns to form a repeating pattern of floats on a first face of the trim piece, such that a high percentage of the first face of the trim piece comprises grip yarns.

In summary, the invention is directed to a strap for tensioning a vehicle side curtain, the strap comprising: a strap body having a plurality of warp yarns and a weft yarn, the weft yarn being interleaved with each of the plurality of warp yarns, wherein the warp yarns are tensioned in a substantially straight configuration; and a coating to retain the warp yarns in their straight configuration.
