Abstract

A net and method for creating the same, the net comprising: cables in two or more directions, wherein the cables in each of the directions are made of at least a first construct or a second construct, wherein each cable of a first construct in the first direction has neighboring cables in the first direction made of the second construct, and each cable of the first construct in the second direction has neighboring cables in the second direction made of the second construct.

Claims

1. A net, comprising:

a first partial net comprising cables of at least a first construct in at least a first direction and a second direction, wherein a first cable at the first direction and a second cable at the second direction, the first cable and the second cable made of the first construct, are connected at a first junction; and

a second partial net comprising cables of at least a second construct in the first direction and the second direction, wherein a third cable at the first direction and a fourth cable at the second direction, the third cable and the fourth cable made of the second construct, are connected at a second junction, and wherein the first partial net and the second partial net are connected at an offset,

wherein the second construct is more rigid than the first construct, and wherein the cables of the second construct comprise an inner space and metal cable within the inner space,

wherein all internal cables of the first construct in the first direction have immediately neighboring cables on both sides in the first direction made of the second construct,

all internal cables of the first construct in the second direction have immediately neighboring cables on both sides in the second direction made of the second construct, and

the cables of the first partial net are on one side of the second partial net, and the cables of the second partial net are on one side of the first partial net, and

the first direction is parallel to the third or the fourth direction, and the second direction is parallel to the fourth or the third direction, respectively.

2. The net of claim 1 wherein the first construct is more flexible than the second construct.

3. The net of claim 1 wherein the first construct is more elastic than the second construct.

4. The net of claim 1 wherein the first construct comprises Spandex, rubber or Latex fibers therein.

5. The net of claim 4 wherein the second construct comprises metal fibers therein.

6. The net of claim 1 wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

7. The net of claim 1 wherein each opening in the net has two adjacent sides made of cables of the first construct and two adjacent sides made of cables of the second construct.

8. The net of claim 1 wherein cables are combined to each other using a technique selected from the group consisting of:

sewing, stitching, gluing, welding, sewing a patch, connecting stripes, knots, thermally-activated connecting materials and braces.

9. The net of claim 1 wherein the first cables and the second cables divide the net area into rectangles.

10. A method for creating a net, comprising:

creating a first partial net made of a first construct, wherein cables in the first partial net going in different directions are connected at first junctions;

creating a second partial net made of a second construct, wherein cables in the second partial net going in different directions are connected at second junctions,

wherein the second construct more rigid than the first construct, and wherein the cables of the second construct comprise an inner space and a metal cable within the inner space; and

after the first partial net and the second partial net are created, combining the first and second partial nets at an offset to create a net,

such that the cables of the first partial net are on one side of the second partial net, and the cables of the second partial net are on one side of the first partial net,

the first direction is parallel to the third or the fourth direction, and the second direction is parallel to the fourth or the third direction, respectively,

all internal cables of the first construct in the first direction have immediately neighboring cables on both sides in the first direction made of the second construct, and

all internal cables of the first construct in the second direction have immediately neighboring cables on both sides in the second direction made of the second construct.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein each opening in the net has two adjacent sides of the first construct and other two adjacent sides of the second construct.

12. The method of claim 10 wherein the first construct is more flexible than the second construct.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the first and second partial nets are combined using a technique selected from the group consisting of:

sewing, stitching, gluing, welding, sewing a patch, connecting stripes, knots, thermally-activated connecting materials and braces.

14. The method of claim 10 wherein the second construct is more flexible than the first construct.

15. The method of claim 10 wherein the first construct comprises Spandex, rubber or Latex fibers therein.

16. The method of claim 15 wherein the second construct comprises metal fibers therein.

17. The method of claim 10 wherein the first cables and the second cables divide the net area into rectangles.
