A net includes at least two ropes (2, 4), at least one mesh, wherein at least one corner of a mesh is formed by a knot (15) formed by two of the ropes (2, 4). The knot includes a first and a second opening (6, 8) in the first rope (2) through which the second rope (4) passes, and a first opening (10) in the second rope (4) through which the first rope (2) passes. A part of the first rope (2) is being positioned in the first opening (10) in the second rope (4) being in between the first and second opening (6, 8) of the first rope (2).
Claims20
A net comprising at least a first rope and a second rope being distinct from the first rope, wherein the net comprises a plurality of meshes, wherein at least one corner of a mesh is formed by a knot formed by said first and second ropes, wherein the knot comprises a first opening and a second opening in the first rope, the second rope passing through both the first opening and the second opening in the first rope, and wherein the knot further comprises a first opening in the second rope through which the first rope passes, wherein a part of the first rope is positioned in the first opening in the second rope, and wherein said part of the first rope and first opening in the second rope are located in between the first and second openings of the first rope and respective parts of the second rope passing therethrough.
A method for manufacturing a net, the net comprising a at least one mesh, the method comprises:
- providing a first rope and a second rope being distinct from the first rope;
- creating a plurality of meshes, wherein at least one corner of a mesh is formed by a knot formed by said first and second ropes, the method comprising forming the knot by the following:
- creating a first opening in the first rope and passing an end part of the second rope through the first opening,
- creating a first opening in the second rope and passing an end part of the first rope through the first opening in the second rope, thereby causing a part of the first rope to be positioned inside the first opening in the second rope,
- creating a second opening in the first rope and passing the end part of the second rope through the second opening, thereby causing said part of the first rope to be located in between the first and second openings of the first rope and respective parts of the second rope passing therethrough.
