First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A method of manufacturing a webbing ( 11 ) for a safety system of an automotive vehicle, comprising the steps of: weaving a webbing body ( 12 ), wherein at least one electric conductor ( 16 ) is woven as a warp thread into the webbing body ( 12 ), passing the webbing body ( 12 ) through a calender ( 24 ), wherein the webbing body ( 12 ) is compressed in the calender ( 24 ) by a maximum of 5%. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the webbing body ( 12 ) is not compressed in the calender ( 24 ). 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the webbing body ( 12 ) is heated before it enters the calender ( 24 ). 4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the webbing body ( 12 ) is heated to a temperature ranging from 185° C. to 240° C. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one electric conductor ( 16 ) includes plural single wires ( 17 ). 6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electric conductor ( 16 ) is a heating conductor or a sensor. 7 . A webbing ( 11 ) comprising a webbing body ( 12 ) and at least one electric conductor ( 16 ) woven into the webbing body ( 12 ) which was manufactured by a method according to claim 1 .
