Cargo net

A net of the type having a plurality of interconnected straps for securing a load to a support comprising front and rear sections adapted to be connected to the support;

• respective side sections adapted to be connected to the support;
• connectors for connecting together said front and rear sections to said side sections whereby said net surrounds the periphery of the load;
• and a top section adapted to be placed over the top of the load and connecting said front and rear sections to said side sections whereby forces on said front and rear sections are applied to said side sections, said front and rear sections being identical in construction and comprising first partial load-encircling means connected to said top section, and second partial load-encircling means connected to said first partial load-encircling means, said side sections being identical in construction and comprising third partial load-encircling means connected to said top section, and fourth partial load-encircling means connected to said third partial load-encircling means, whereby said first and third partial load-encircling means are adapted to be connected together and said second and fourth partial load-encircling means are adapted to be connected together to form a continuous load-encircling means to maintain a load in place on the support.

A net of the type having interconnected straps forming a lattice structure adapted to maintain a load in place on a support, said net comprising individual side wall sections adapted to be connected together to surround the load, each of said side wall sections having securing means for connecting said side wall sections to the support, at least a pair of opposed ones of said side wall sections each comprising a substantially horizontally extending partial load-encircling band having connecting members adjacent each end thereof, and straps connecting said connecting members to the diagonally opposite securing means of said side wall section, each of said side wall sections comprising a partial load-encircling band having a first plurality of interconnected connecting members;

• a second plurality of connecting members, securing means on each of said second plurality of connecting members for connecting said second plurality of connecting members to said support, said second plurality being greater than said first plurality by one member, and load-distributing straps connecting each one of said plurality of connecting members to two juxtaposed connecting members of said second plurality to form an inverted V-shape.

A net of the type having interconnected straps forming a lattice structure for maintaining a load on a support comprising a top section adapted to extend over the top of the load, said top section comprising a plurality of interconnected straps, connecting members at the ends of said top section straps, load-distributing straps connected to said connecting members and adapted to extend downwardly therefrom along the sides of the load, fastening means connected to said load-distributing straps to connect said load-distributing straps to said support, connecting straps between said connecting members adapted to be connected together to form a first load-encircling band, and a second load-encircling band depending from said first load-encircling band and adapted to encircle the load at a point spaced intermediate said first load-encircling band and said fastening means, said second load-encircling band comprising a first strap spaced from said connecting straps, and a plurality of intermediate straps, at least selected ones of said plurality of intermediate straps connected between said first strap and said connecting straps, and others of said plurality of intermediate straps connected between said first strap and said connecting members.
