Abstract
A lacrosse mesh and method of manufacture thereof is provided. The lacrosse mesh includes a woven mesh structure including top and bottom portions. The top portion includes at least two rows of mesh diamonds with alternating interconnections between adjacent lengthwise strands, wherein the mesh diamonds have a mesh length measured along one of the lengthwise strands between top and bottom interconnections of adjacent lengthwise strands. The lower portion contains at least two separated lengthwise strands extending generally parallel to each other such that along a distance of at least two times the unexpanded height the two separated lengthwise strands are separated from each other.
Claims15
A lacrosse mesh for stringing to the head of a lacrosse stick, the lacrosse mesh comprising:
- a woven mesh structure including top and bottom portions;
- the top portion including at least two rows of mesh diamonds with alternating interconnections between adjacent lengthwise strands, wherein the mesh diamonds have a mesh length measured along one of the lengthwise strands between top and bottom interconnections of adjacent lengthwise strands;
- the lower portion including at least two separated lengthwise strands extending generally parallel to each other such that along a distance of at least two times the unexpanded height the two separated lengthwise strands are separated from each other.
A lacrosse mesh for stringing to the head of a lacrosse stick, the lacrosse mesh comprising:
- a woven mesh structure including a plurality of first and second portions;
- the first portion including at least two rows of mesh diamonds with alternating interconnections between adjacent lengthwise strands, wherein the mesh diamonds have a mesh length measured along one of the lengthwise strands between top and bottom interconnections of adjacent lengthwise strands;
- the second portion including at least two separated lengthwise strands extending generally parallel to each other such that along a distance of at least two times the unexpanded height the two separated lengthwise strands are separated from each other;
- wherein the mesh is arranged as a continuous web of alternating ones of the first and second portions such that the continuous web comprised alternating sections of mesh diamonds followed by the at least two separated lengthwise strands continuing in an alternating fashion along the continuous web.
A method of manufacturing a lacrosse mesh for stringing a lacrosse stick comprising:
- providing a plurality of strands along a longitudinal direction;
- joining adjacent strands of the plurality of strands in an alternating fashion along the longitudinal direction such that a three strand grouping of the plurality of strands comprises a middle strand joined along a portion thereof in alternating fashion to first side and second side strands to create a mesh diamond for a first portion of the lacrosse mesh;
- providing a plurality of single strands extending longitudinally from a connection between a joint of two of the strands in the first portion to create a second portion comprising the plurality of single strands.
