A multilayered tether link for a vehicle tether comprising:
- a tether belt material having a folded wedge section formed by the tether belt material being sinuously folded about at least one wedge portion, wherein the tether belt material and the at least one wedge portion are sewn together with at least one stich to form a layered construction and a hole is formed through the layered construction for attachment to a vehicle part.
A multilayered tether link for a vehicle tether comprising:
- a folded wedge section formed by a tether belt material being sinuously being folded about at least one wedge portion, wherein the tether belt material and the at least one wedge portion are sewn together with at least one stich to form a layered construction and a hole is formed through the layered construction for attachment to a vehicle part, and
- a folded section having a plurality of layers of sinuously folded tether belt material folded adjacently to form a layered construction, where the layered construction of the folded section includes at least one stich connecting the plurality of layers together and a hole formed through the center of the folded section for attachment to a vehicle part.
A multilayered tether link for a vehicle tether comprising:
- a first folded section having a plurality of layers of sinuously folded tether belt material folded adjacently to form a layered construction, where the layered construction of the folded section includes at least one stich connecting the plurality of layers together and a hole formed through the center of the first folded section for attachment to a vehicle part, and
- a second folded section having a plurality of layers of sinuously folded tether belt material folded adjacently to form a layered construction, where the layered construction of the folded section includes at least one stich connecting the plurality of layers together and a hole formed through the center of the second folded section for attachment to a vehicle part.
