Ribbon and method for production thereof

A method of producing webbing including warp threads and a weft thread on a narrow fabric needle weaving machine, more particularly a belt webbing for seat belt systems, comprising the following repeat sequence of steps in the method:

• a) picking a weft thread (4) with a pick needle (1),
• b) wrapping the weft thread (4) with a tuck thread (5) furnished from the weft exit side lying opposite the pick side by a knitting needle (2) working at the weft exit side,
• c) retracting the pick needle (1) and
• d) wrapping the weft thread (4) with a tuck thread (6) furnished at the pick side by a knitting needle (3) working at the pick side,
• whereby
• a monofil thread or a combination of multifil threads and monofil thread is used as the weft thread (4) and
• the tuck thread (5, 6) in step b) is looped with a blocking thread (7, 8) at the weft exit side and at the pick side,
• at at least one of the weft entry side and the weft exit side of the webbing between the warp threads (KF) with no wrapping of the weft material linking only the legs of the loops of the tuck thread (5, 6) and the loop course, additional threads (11, 12) substantially located in parallel to the warp threads (KF) in the finished webbing (B) are included in the weave,
• each blocking thread (7, 8) of each knitting needle (2, 3) being presented such that it comes to rest totally outside of the additional threads (12, 11).
