A loom for weaving a stringer tape with a coiled coupling element(52) woven therein, includes a mandrel(45) extending at an angle to the warp threads(W), a rotor assembly for winding a monofilament(F) around the mandrel in a circular path to form the coiled coupling element and a means on the rotor assembly which guides the monofilament to revolve in a conical orbital path around the mandrel, which path is eccentric to the circular path of the rotor assembly and is located closer to the warp threads than is the path of the rotor assembly so that the monofilament is kept under substantially constant tension.
