Abstract
An open-mesh net bag is formed of a rectangular piece of open-mesh netting and a pair of elongated flexible cords. A central length portion of each cord is interlaced through the meshes of netting piece along a respective end edge region, a pair of loop-forming length portions are intertwined with each other to form a loop with the central length portion, a pair of intermediate length portions are interlaced through the meshes along about one-half the length of the side edge regions, whereupon terminal end portions of the respective cords are connected to each other. A method of forming the open-mesh bag is also disclosed.
Claims26
An open-mesh bag, comprising:
- a substantially rectangular piece of open-mesh netting having a pair of opposed first edge regions, each first edge region extending between a respective pair of corner regions, and a pair of opposed second edge regions;
- and
- a pair of elongated flexible cords, each cord having a central length portion interlaced through the meshes of said netting piece along substantially the entire length of a respective one of said first edge regions thereof, a pair of loop-forming length portions intertwined with each other to form a loop along with said central length portion, a pair of intermediate length portions, each of which is interlaced through the meshes of said netting piece from a respective corner region thereof along substantially half the length of a respective one of said second edge regions, and a pair of terminal end portions, each of which is connected to a terminal end portion of the other flexible cord,
- said pairs of first and second edge regions of said netting piece forming a mouth of said bag and said loops constituting handles of said bag.
A method for forming an open-mesh bag from a substantially rectangular piece of open-mesh netting having a pair of opposed first edge regions, each first edge region extending between a respective pair of corner regions, and a pair of opposed second edge regions, comprising the steps of:
- at each of said first edge regions of said netting piece, interlacing a central portion of a respective elongated flexible cord through the meshes of said netting piece along substantially the entire length of said first edge region;
- intertwining loop-forming length portions of each of said cords with each other to form a loop along with said central length portion thereof;
- interlacing intermediate length portions of each of said cords through the meshes of said netting piece from a respective corner region thereof along substantially half the length of a respective one of said second edge regions;
- and
- connecting first ones of the terminal ends of each of said cords to each other at a point of connection;
- and
- connecting second ones of the terminal ends of each of said cords to each other at a second point of connection;
- whereby said pairs of first and second edge regions of said netting piece form a mouth of said bag and said loops constitute handles of said bag.
