Abstract:
1. A process of manufacturing a looped material band ( 1 ) in which ends of the band are assembled by fitting together two serrations ( 2 a , 2 b ) having complementary shapes provided respectively in a plane of each of the ends ( 1 a , 1 b ), and teeth ( 2 c ) of each serration ( 2 a , 2 b ) comprising at least one transversal opening ( 2 d ) that is aligned with the at least one transversal opening ( 2 d ) of neighboring teeth ( 2 c ) so as to define, when the serrations ( 2 a , 2 b ) are fitted together with one another, at least one transversal passage ( 8 ) for receiving at least one locking rod ( 3 ) of a junction, the process comprising the steps of: machining the ends ( cutting the teeth ( fitting the serrations ( disposing a transversal core pin ( overmolding material in the machined area to restore the ends ( removing each transversal core pin ( separating the serrations ( stamping the material band (
