Abstract
The present invention is directed to a net, and more specifically to a knitted net comprising a plurality of chain and fill yarns comprising mono-filaments that decreases the overall mass of the net, yet increases the durability of the net. In accordance with the present invention, the netting is used as bale wrap.
Claims10
A method of making a durable knitted net comprising the steps of:
- a. providing chain yarns orientated in a first longitudinal direction, wherein said chain yarns comprise one or more mono-filaments;
- b. providing fill yarns orientated in a second direction generally transverse to said first direction;
- c. interconnecting said chain yarns and said fill yarns on a Raschel machine forming a durable netting, wherein lateral-most ones of said chain yarns generally define opposite outer edges of said net, and wherein at least some of said chain yarns distal said outer edges include a greater number of said mono-filaments than those ones of said chain yarns proximal said outer edges.
A method of making a durable knitted net comprising the steps of:
- a. providing chain yarns orientated in a first longitudinal direction
- b. providing fill yarns orientated in a second direction generally transverse to said first direction;
- c. arranging said chain yarns into a first longitudinally extending zone;
- d. arranging said chain yarns comprising said one or more mono-filaments into a second longitudinally extending zone spaced laterally of said first zone;
- and
- e. interconnecting said chain yarns and said fill yarns on a Raschel machine forming a durable netting,
- f. wherein the chain yarns of said first zone exhibit properties which differ from the chain yarns of said second zone.
A durable knitted net comprising chain yarns of one or more mono-filaments orientated in a first longitudinal direction and fill yarns orientated in a second direction generally transverse to said first direction, wherein said chain yarns and fill yarns are interconnected on a Raschel machine forming a durable netting, wherein lateral-most ones of said chain yarns generally define opposite outer edges of said net, and wherein at least some of said chain yarns distal said outer edges include a greater number of said mono-filaments than those ones of said chain yarns proximal said outer edges.
A durable knitted net comprising first, second, and third longitudinally extending zones, said first zone and said third zone are respectively located proximal to opposite outer edges of said net;
- said second zone is located intermediate said first and third zones;
- said first and third zones comprise less mono-filaments than said second zone.
