Abstract
A woven strap comprises at least two continuous parts having different widths, wherein the change in width results from a modification of the respective weave of said parts. The strap can thus be used to create a loop or a ring in order to attach or bear a load. The two ends of the strap are joined to each other by stitching. Only the stitching areas of each of the two ends are tubular. The rest of the ring is flat and the stitching areas are placed on top of each other. The loop or ring can include an integrated wear and tear and/or overload indicator.

A woven strap comprising:
- a first part connected to a second part, said first part and said second part having different widths relative to each other, said first part and said second part each consisting of a single layer flat thickness, said first part having a first weave and said second part having a second weave, wherein said first weave and said second weave are different weaves relative to each other and have different widths relative to each other.
A loop or a ring for attaching or bearing a load, comprising:
- a strap prepared by weaving, said strap having two ends joined to each other by stitching, wherein:
- stitching areas of each of the two ends are tubular prior to being connected to each other and said stitching areas each have a width larger than a width of a rest of the loop or ring, said rest of the loop or ring being non-tubular and consisting of a single layer flat thickness;
