Abstract
Grid mat with warp thread strands running at regular intervals lengthwise or in the warp direction and weft thread strands running at regular intervals crosswise or in the weft direction connected to the warp thread strands at the points of intersection with the warp thread strands by raschel knitting, stitching, interweaving, adhesion or welding. The edge areas of grid mats placed next to each other are laid on top of one another and connected by threading elements such as rods or cord. The threading elements are inserted through the links of the mesh in the edge area.
Claims4
A grid mat with warp thread strands running at regular intervals lengthwise or in the warp direction and weft thread strands running at regular intervals crosswise or in the weft direction which are connected to the warp thread strands at the points of intersection with the warp thread strands by raschel knitting, stitching, interweaving, adhesion or welding, wherein in the edge areas of the grid mat running in the warp direction, which overlap one another when grid mats placed next to each other are installed and connected, the spacing between at least two adjacent warp thread strands is at least 50% greater than the spacing between the other warp thread strands, and the width and strength of these warp thread strands is at least 25% greater than the width and strength of the other warp thread strands.
