Abstract

A tear-away energy absorbing webbing is a one-piece webbing. The tear-away energy absorbing webbing has a top layer load-bearing web and a bottom layer load-bearing web. An energy absorbing portion of the webbing has binder yarns interlaced with the top and bottom layer load-bearing webs. A sufficiently high load force applied to the webbing breaks the binder yarns and tears apart the top and bottom layer load-bearing webs. The energy absorbing portion absorbs energy as it tears apart. The top and bottom layer load-bearing webs support the load force when the shock absorbing portion is torn apart.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention generally pertains to webbings. More specifically, the present invention pertains to energy absorbing webbings and tear-away shock absorbing webbings. One energy absorbing webbing is a one-piece webbing having two load-bearing webs connected together by binder yarns. The two load-bearing webs and the binder yarns are woven together as a one-piece webbing. During activation of the webbing, the binder yarns break as the two webs tear apart from each other and absorb energy or shock. The two torn-apart separate load-bearing webs support the load applied to the webbing. The present invention further pertains to methods of making energy absorbing webbings and methods of using energy absorbing webbings. The present invention provides improved webbings which can absorb energy and support a load.

[0002] The present invention is described as being energy absorbing as well as shock absorbing. Use of the terms “energy absorbing” and “sho...
