Claim:
A three-dimensional textile component structure adapted to absorb loads in defined directions during use, the textile component structure being comprised of high-tensile yarns formed in surrounding relation about a longitudinally extending core area, characterized by a plurality of yarn sheets ( 3 , 4 ) comprised of parallel high-tensile yarns wound about the core area ( 1 ) in layers with one yarn sheet above the other and with the yarns in the yarn sheets ( 3 , 4 ) oriented at differing angles relative to the longitudinal extent of the core area ( 1 ), and at least one other yarn sheet ( 2 ) comprised of parallel high-tensile yarns surrounding the core area and extending along the longitudinal extent of the core area ( 1 ), the yarns of the yarn sheet ( 2 ) being fixed relative to each other in said longitudinally extending disposition by a textile structure ( 5 ) made of an intersecting yarn system.
