Abstract
A fishing net bearing tightly fastened knots free from loosening and a facilitative method for manufacturing the same which method comprises the steps of: holding either the warp or weft by an upper hook freely rotatable about its own axis; making the upper hook to rotate about its axis a half or one and a half; holding the other warp or weft; forming two loops consisting of the warp and weft respectively by making the upper hook to turn about its axis a full rotation; pulling the warp through said loops and passing it along the underside of a shuttle frame, causing the warp to draw the weft so as to bend it within the loops; releasing the loops of the warp and weft from the upper hook; and tightly fastening together said warp and weft to form a knot.
Claims6
A method of manufacturing a fishing net including knots formed of a first warp member and a second weft member which comprises the following steps:
- holding either of the first and second members by an upper hook, said hook being freely rotatable about its own axis;
- moving the other of said first and second members into a position adjacent said upper hook;
- rotating said upper hook about its axis a half rotation or one and a half rotations to catch the other of said first and second members;
- rotating said upper hook about its axis a full rotation to form two loops from the first and second members;
- pulling the first warp member through said two loops and passing said first member along the underside of a shuttle frame, causing the first warp member to draw the second seft member through said two loops so as to bend it within said two loops;
- releasing said two loops of said first warp member and said second weft member from said upper hook;
- and tightly fastening together said first warp member and said second weft member to form a knot.
