Claims8
Loop closure comprising a deformable loop (10) and a closure (12) for holding in a locked manner at least one end (18) of the loop (10) wherein the closure (12) comprises a locking bolt opening (26) with a locking bolt (30) fastened once in the closure (12), through which the at least one end (18) of the deformable loop (10) can be locked positively and/or non-positively in the closure (12), wherein the end (18) of the deformable loop (10) is profiled and fixed in a counter-profile of the closure (12) when the locking bolt (30) fills the locking bolt opening (26) and forces the end (18) of the deformable loop (10) radially outwardly into the counter profile of the closure (12), thereby locking the end (18) of the deformable loop (10) in the closure such that the end (18) cannot be pulled out of the closure (12) without destroying the locking bolt (30).
