Description

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 467,351, entitled “WRAP,” filed May 18, 2023, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 532,926, entitled “WRAP,” filed August 16, 2023. The contents of both applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Technical Field

[0002] In some embodiments of the invention, the invention relates to a packaging, and more specifically, but not exclusively, to a recyclable net packaging. Background Technology

[0003] Currently, hay bales are primarily wrapped in knitted netting, and sometimes with hemp rope. The structure of the netting (including the size of the mesh, the width of the threads, and their strength and elongation) allows the netting to grip the crop for transport.

[0004] This grip allows for quick and efficient wrapping without the need for special closures. It also enables efficient transport and storage of the bales. The holes allow for crop ventilation, thus preventing mold growth.

[0005] On the other hand, these same characteristics do not allow for the recycling of netting, as the crops attached to the net fall off with it (after removal, more than 50% of the organic matter remains on the net). To date, no effective industrial solution for cleaning and recycling netting has been found.

[0006] Plastic pollution (including circular cut-and-bundle wrapping netting) has become a critical global problem, impacting the environment, wildlife, and human health. The problem with the mesh plastic packaging of hay bales is that they contain over 50% organic matter (crop). Separating the plastic is virtually impossible, making recycling an uneconomical process.

[0101] Adhesive part In some embodiments, the total surface area of ​​the adhesive portion 106 is at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90% of the total surface area of ​​the longitudinal strip 102, or any value and range therebetween.

[0102] In some embodiments, the length of the adhesive portion 106 along the longitudinal strip 102 is 0.5-150 mm. In some embodiments, the length of the adhesive portion 106 is 0.5-75 mm. In some embodiments, the length of the adhesive portion 106 is 1-25 mm. In some embodiments, the length of the adhesive portion 106 is 1-13 mm. In some embodiments, the length of the adhesive portion 106 is 1-7 mm.

[0103] In some embodiments, each longitudinal strip 102 includes an adhesive portion 106 of equal length. In some embodiments, the length of the adhesive portion 106 varies along each individual longitudinal strip 102.

[0104] In some embodiments, and as described in more detail elsewhere herein, membrane 112 comprises a tape. In some embodiments, and as described in more detail elsewhere herein, the tape comprises one or more of fiber tape, friction tape, self-fusion tape / self-adhesive tape, which includes adhesive properties such as adhesive strength and / or friction.

[0105] aisle In some embodiments, the longitudinal strip 102 includes a plurality of channels 110. In some embodiments, the channels 110 are shaped to accommodate transverse strips 104 passing through the channels 110. In some embodiments, the channels 110 are formed by discontinuities in the intermittent adhesion of the longitudinal strip 102. In some embodiments, at least 50% of the adhered portion 106 within the net 100 as described herein each defines at least two channels 110. In some embodiments, at least 60% to 80% of the adhered portion 106 within the net 100 each defines at least two channels 110.

[0106] In some embodiments, the channel 110 between the two membranes 112 of the longitudinal strip 102 includes an opening, a partial opening, partial adhesion, and / or no adhesion between the membranes 112. In some embodiments, the opening includes a gap, a slot, and / or a discontinuity in adhesion between the two membranes 112. In some embodiments, and as described in more detail elsewhere herein, the channel 110 includes a semi-adhesive region, a non-adhesive region, or both. In some embodiments, the channel 110 accommodates the transverse strip 104.

[0107] In one embodiment, the semi-adhesive region includes one or more of the following: a region in which the films 112 are loosely adhered to each other and a region in which at least one film 112 is loosely adhered to the transverse strip 104. For example, in some embodiments, the loosely adhered film 112 includes an adhesive, wherein the strength of the adhesive is weaker than the adhesion strength between the films 112 at the adhesion portion 106. For example, in some embodiments, the loosely adhered film 112 includes surfaces that have frictional interactions with each other and / or with the transverse strip 104.

[0108] For example, in some embodiments, the loosely adhered film 112 and transverse strip 104 include an adhesive, wherein the strength of the adhesive is weaker than the adhesion strength between the films 112 at the adhered portion 106.

[0109] In some embodiments, the semi-adhesive region includes an adhesion that is at least 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 99% weaker than the adhesion between the films 112 of the longitudinal strip 102, or any value or range thereof.

[0110] In some embodiments, the non-adhesive region includes a region where one or both of the membranes 112 are not adhered to the transverse strip 104 and / or where the membranes 112 are not adhered to each other.

[0111] In some embodiments, channel 110 accommodates transverse strips 104. In some embodiments, channel 110 accommodates 1-3 transverse strips 104. In some embodiments, channel 110 is adapted to provide an opening for accommodating the transverse strips 104. In some embodiments, channel 110 is adapted to provide an opening for accommodating the transverse strips 104 and an area of ​​20% to 200% of the width of the transverse strips 104. In some embodiments, channel 110 is adapted to provide an opening for accommodating the transverse strips 104 and an area of ​​30% to 150% of the width of the transverse strips 104. In some embodiments, channel 110 is adapted to provide an opening for accommodating the transverse strips 104 and an area of ​​40% to 100% of the width of the transverse strips 104.

[0112] In some embodiments, the width of the transverse strip is 0.1 to 40 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse strip is 0.5 to 40 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse strip is 0.5 to 20 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse strip is 0.5 to 10 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse strip is 1 to 20 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse strip is 1 to 10 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse strip is 2 to 5 mm.

[0113] In some embodiments, the ratio between the surface area of ​​the outer surface of the membrane 112 at the adhesion portion 106 and the surface area of ​​the outer surface of the membrane 112 at the channel 110 is 40:1, 30:1, 20:1, 15:1, 10:1, 9:1, 8:1, 6:1, 4:1, or 2:1, or any value and / or range thereof. For example, in Figure 1 In the described exemplary embodiment, the ratio between the surface area of ​​the outer surface of the membrane 112 at the adhesion portion 106 and the surface area of ​​the outer surface of the membrane 112 at the channel 110 is 3:1. In some embodiments, the width of the membrane 112 at the adhesion portion 106 is equal to the width of the membrane 112 at the channel 110.

[0114] In some embodiments, the width of channel 110 is defined as a distance spanning channel 110 parallel to the length of longitudinal strip 102. In some embodiments, channel 110 is at least 2 mm wider than transverse strip 104. In some embodiments, channel 110 is at least 5 mm wider than transverse strip 104. In some embodiments, the width of channel 110 is 1-20 mm greater than the width of transverse strip 104.

[0115] In some embodiments, the width of channel 110 is 5-40 mm larger than the width of transverse band 104. In some embodiments, the width of channel 110 is 5-20 mm larger than the width of transverse band 104. In some embodiments, the width of channel 110 is 5-10 mm larger than the width of transverse band 104. In some embodiments, the width of channel 110 is 1-5 mm larger than the width of transverse band 104. In some embodiments, the width of channel 110 is constant. In some embodiments, the width of channel 110 varies. In some embodiments, the difference between the width of channel 110 and the width of transverse band 104 defines a range of distances within which transverse band 104 can be adjusted.

[0116] The potential advantage of having a channel 110 wider than the transverse band 104 is that the position and / or orientation of the transverse band 104 within the channel 110 is adjustable, which increases the adjustability of the structure of the mesh 100 independent of the elasticity of the longitudinal band 102 and / or the transverse band 104.

[0117] A potential advantage of the longitudinal belt 102, including the channel 110, is that the surface of the transverse belt can remain parallel to the surface of the longitudinal belt within the channel 110, which keeps the web 100 flat. The flat web 100 can be rolled onto rollers during unpacking and / or for efficient storage.

[0118] The potential advantage of the membrane 112 having stronger adhesion than the adhesion within the channel 110 is that the dimensions of the channel 110 of the adhesive portion 106 and / or the longitudinal strip 102 will not change due to the force applied to the mesh 100. In some embodiments, the adhesion of the membrane 112 prevents external forces applied to the longitudinal strip 102 from deforming the channel 110. In some embodiments, the adhesion of the membrane 112 prevents external forces applied to the transverse strip 104 from deforming the channel 110.

[0119] lateral band In some embodiments, the transverse belt 104 includes a rope, wire, strip, membrane, cord, etc. In some embodiments, the transverse belt 104 includes at least a portion that is sized to fit within the channel 110 of the longitudinal belt 102.

[0120] In some embodiments, the transverse strip 104 is flexible, semi-rigid, rigid, elastic, deformable, stretchable, extensible, etc. For example, in some embodiments, the transverse strip 104 is composed of materials such as steel, polymers, alloys, metals, polyethylene, plastics, elastic polymers, or any combination thereof.

In some embodiments, the thickness of the transverse strip 104 is constant. In some embodiments, the thickness of the transverse strip 104 varies.

[0122] In some embodiments, the thickness of the transverse strip 104 is less than or equal to the height of the opening of the channel 110. In some embodiments, the thickness of the transverse strip 104 is sufficient to fit within the opening of the channel 110 such that the transverse strip 104 abuts against the two membranes 112 of the channel 110.

[0123] In some embodiments, the width of the transverse band 104 is shorter than the width of the channel 110. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse band 104 is 1-50 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse band 104 is 0.2-30 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse band 104 is 0.5-15 mm.

In some embodiments, the width of the transverse band 104 is 2 to 10 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse band 104 is 5 to 50 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse band 104 is 15 to 35 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse band 104 is 2 to 10 mm. In some embodiments, the width of the transverse band 104 is 2 to 5 mm.

[0124] In some embodiments, the width of the lateral band 104 is constant. In some embodiments, the width of the lateral band 104 varies.

[0125] In some embodiments, the transverse strip 104 is folded within the channel 110 such that the width of the transverse strip 104 within the channel 110 is smaller than that of the flat transverse strip 104.

[0126] In some embodiments, the lateral strip 104 occupies 90% or less of the area of ​​the channel 110. In some embodiments, the lateral strip 104 occupies 70% or less of the area of ​​the channel 110. In some embodiments, the lateral strip 104 occupies 60-99% of the area of ​​the channel 110. In some embodiments, the lateral strip 104 occupies 10-65% of the area of ​​the channel 110.

[0127] In some embodiments, the transverse strip occupies 2% to 50% of: (a) the surface area of ​​the inner surface; or (b) the area of ​​channel 110. In some embodiments, the transverse strip occupies 3% to 30% of: (a) the surface area of ​​the inner surface; or (b) the area of ​​channel 110. In some embodiments, the transverse strip occupies 5% to 20% of: (a) the surface area of ​​the inner surface; or (b) the area of ​​channel 110. In some embodiments, the transverse strip occupies 2% to 15% of: (a) the surface area of ​​the inner surface; or (b) the area of ​​channel 110. In some embodiments, the transverse strip occupies 10% to 40% of: (a) the surface area of ​​the inner surface; or (b) the area of ​​channel 110.

[0128] In some embodiments, the transverse band includes a portion within the channel 110 and an outer portion 118 extending outside the channel 110. In some embodiments, the outer portion 118 is larger than the channel 110 (as described in more detail elsewhere herein). Figure 2B (As depicted). For example, in some embodiments, the width of the outer portion 118 is greater than the width of the channel 110. In some embodiments, the outer portion 118 is designed to be sized and positioned such that the transverse band 104 has limited mobility along its longitudinal axis. In some embodiments, the movement of the transverse band 104 within the channel 110 is restricted by the portion 118.

[0129] In some embodiments, the transverse band 104 includes an outer portion 118 on one or both sides of the channel 110, such that movement of the transverse band 104 is restricted within the channel 110. In some embodiments, the transverse band 104 includes at least one outer portion 118 on at least one side of the channel 110, such that movement along the length of the transverse band 104 at an intersection point 114 is restricted in at least one direction.

[0130] In some embodiments, the distance between two consecutive outer portions 118 is 20-90 mm. In some embodiments, the distance between two consecutive outer portions 118 is 30-100 mm. In some embodiments, the distance between two consecutive outer portions 118 is 40-60 mm.

[0131] refer to Figure 2A and Figure 2B These are cross-sectional views of exemplary embodiments of intranet intersection points according to some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2A and Figure 2B In the exemplary embodiment depicted, the longitudinal strip 204 / 214 includes a membrane 210 / 224 on either side of the transverse strip 206 / 216 at each intersection point 200 / 250.

[0132] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2A As depicted, the channel 202 is shaped to accommodate the transverse band 206. In some embodiments, such as Figure 2A As depicted, the channel 202 is shaped to accommodate a single transverse band 206. In some embodiments, the channel 202 is shaped to accommodate the transverse band 206 in a series of orientations relative to the longitudinal band 204.

[0133] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2B The width of the transverse band 216 is depicted. In some embodiments, the width of a portion 220 of the transverse band within the channel 212 is less than the width of the channel 212. In some embodiments, the width of a portion 218 of the transverse band 216 outside the channel 212 is greater than the width of the channel 212. In some embodiments, the distance between the portions 218 of the transverse band 216 that are wider than the channel 212 determines the range of mobility of the intersection point 250 along the length of the transverse band 216.

[0134] In some embodiments, the channel 212 is asymmetrical. In some embodiments, the asymmetrical channel 212 prevents the transverse band 216 from sliding through the channel in only one direction along the length of the transverse band 216.

[0135] In some embodiments, the net as described herein has 100% tensile strength. In some embodiments, the net as described herein is capable of stretching and doubling its length. In some embodiments, the net as described herein has a tensile strength of 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, or any value between these values.

[0136] In some embodiments, the net as described herein has 100% tensile strength before bracing. In some embodiments, the net as described herein is capable of stretching and doubling its length before braking. In some embodiments, the net as described herein has a tensile strength of 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, or any value between these values ​​before braking.

[0137] In some embodiments, the net as described herein is capable of bearing or lifting (above ground) up to 400 kg, 300 kg, 250 kg, 230 kg, 200 kg, 180 kg, 170 kg, 160 kg, 140 kg, 130 kg, 120 kg, 100 kg, 80 kg, 70 kg, 60 kg, 50 kg, 40 kg, 30 kg or any value between these values ​​before braking.

[0138] Intersection point In some embodiments, the mesh 100 includes a plurality of intersection points 114. In some embodiments, the intersection point 114 includes a first membrane (e.g., membrane 112-1), a transverse strip 104, and a second membrane, such as 112-2. In some embodiments, the first membrane 112-1 and the second membrane 112-2 are components of the longitudinal strip 102. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the surface of the first membrane 112 is adhered to at least a portion of the surface of the second membrane. In some embodiments, one or both membranes 112 include adhesive sides. In one embodiment, the intersection point 114 includes a transverse strip 104 sandwiched between two membranes 112.

[0139] In some embodiments, the intersection point 114 includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first membrane 112, a transverse strip 104, and a second membrane. The second portion includes both the first membrane 112 and the second membrane 112, but does not include the transverse strip 104. In some embodiments, the intersection point 114 includes three blocks, wherein the first block and the third block include the first portion, and the second block includes the second portion. In one embodiment, the second block is sandwiched between the first block and the third block.

[0140] In some embodiments, the adhesion between each of the films 112 of the transverse strip 104 and the longitudinal strip 102 is such that applying a force above a threshold to one of the strips at the intersection point 114 will change the orientation of one strip relative to the other strip.

[0141] In some embodiments, adhesion between one or more of the films 112 of the transverse strip 104 and the longitudinal strip 102 includes lateral adhesion.

[0142] In some embodiments, the transverse band 104 is slidable within the channel 110. In some embodiments, the orientation of the intersection point 114 along the length of the transverse band 104 is adjustable. In some embodiments, the orientation of the transverse band 104 is adjustable relative to the channel 110 and / or the longitudinal band 102.

[0143] network structure In some embodiments, the mesh 100 includes a mesh structure. In some embodiments, the mesh structure is symmetrical. In some embodiments, the mesh structure is a grid or a mesh-like structure.

[0144] In some embodiments, at least one transverse strip 104 is positioned within the channel 110 of the longitudinal strip 102 such that applying tension to the transverse strip 104 reduces one or more of the width, length, or thickness of at least a portion of the mesh 100. In some embodiments, and as explained in more detail elsewhere herein, the structure of the mesh 100 is adjusted to form a suitable wrapping around a three-dimensional object.

[0145] In some embodiments, the diagonal length of the mesh 100 is extended by changing the position of the intersection point 114 along the length of one or more transverse strips 104. In some embodiments, the elongation capability of the mesh 100 is improved by removing transverse strips 104 from one or more channels 110.

[0146] Net tension control system Now for reference Figure 3A , Figure 3B , Figure 3C and Figure 3D These are simplified planar illustrations of a net tension control system according to some embodiments of the present invention. In some embodiments, and as described elsewhere herein, net 300 includes an adhesive portion 106 along longitudinal strip 102, and one or more transverse strips 104 extending from one side of net 300 across one or more longitudinal strips 102 in a serpentine or sawtooth manner to the other side of net 300 via one or more channels 312 (similar to channel 110 described elsewhere herein). In some embodiments, net 300 includes one or more transverse strips 104 that extend across the edge longitudinal strips 304 of net 300 in a serpentine or sawtooth manner.

[0147] In some cases, the net 300 may enclose articles with asymmetrical geometry, protrusions, and / or projections. Therefore, in some embodiments, the net 300 is stretchable at least along its longitudinal axis. However, in some cases, excessive stretching may cause the net 300 fibers / belts to lose elasticity, or even tear. Therefore, in some embodiments, the net 300 includes a net tension control system 350 that limits the degree of stretching of the net 300 and prevents excessive stretching and potential tearing.

[0148] In some embodiments, the net tension control system 350 includes one or more transverse strips 302 extending through the net 300 in a serpentine or zigzag pattern. In some embodiments, the net tension control system 350 includes one or more transverse strips 302 that cross, wrap around, and / or surround the edge longitudinal strips 304 of the net 300 in a serpentine or zigzag pattern. In some embodiments, the strips 302 extend through the net 300 or cross, wrap around, and / or surround the edge longitudinal strips, which follow other patterns, such as parallel to one or more edges of the net 300, in a cross pattern, a zigzag pattern (Z pattern or N pattern), or any other pattern consistent with the increased tension on the net 300 above the packaged material.

[0149] In some embodiments, and as Figure 3A As shown, the transverse band 302 extends beyond the edge 304 or edge longitudinal band 304 of the net 300 by exiting and re-entering the channel 312 at an adjustable intersection point 114 at one or more edges 304 of the net 300 to form one or more semi-loops 306. For example, the transverse band 302 may exit the channel 312 at an exit point 308 and re-enter the edge 304 of the net 300 via an entry point 310 at a second channel 312. In some embodiments, the transverse band 302 forms one or more semi-loops 306 at predetermined orientations, such as at orientations set as tears, such as at folds or bends in the net 300. Alternatively and optionally, the transverse band 302 forms the semi-loops 306 in a repeating pattern over the entire dimension (e.g., the edge) of the net 300. In one embodiment, the edge 304 is or includes the edge longitudinal band 304.

[0150] In some embodiments, the transverse strip 302 passes through the mesh 300, for example, between the membranes 112 of the strip and / or through channels 110 and / or dedicated channels 312, the shapes of which are designed to correspond to and support the reception of the strip 302. In some embodiments, the transverse strip 302 is at least partially adhered to the mesh 300 at one or more orientations in the dedicated channel, for example at joints, intersections, or junctions, as explained in more detail elsewhere herein. In some embodiments, the adhesion of the transverse strip 302 at the exit point 308 and the inlet point 310 is the same as the adhesion along the adhesion points in the channels 110 and / or the dedicated channels 312. In some embodiments, the adhesion of the transverse strip 302 at the exit point 308 and the inlet point 310 is stronger than the adhesion of the transverse strip 302 along the adhesion points in the channels 110 and / or the dedicated channels 312.

[0151] Pairs Figure 3B / Figure 3C and Figure 3D / Figure 3EIn the exemplary embodiment depicted, the transverse band 302 forms a semi-loop 306, the semi-loop 306 having a generally fixed length (L) and protruding outside one or more edges 304 of the mesh 300 between an exit point 308 and an entrance point 310, which are spaced a distance (D1) apart from each other. Figure 3B / Figure 3C As shown, once the net 300 is stretched (e.g., in the direction indicated by the arrow indicated by reference numeral 375), the distance between the exit point 308 and the entrance point 310 increases from distance (D1) to distance (D2), i.e. Therefore, the semi-ring 306 with a roughly fixed length (L) is axially pulled and straightened, parallel to the direction indicated by the arrow 350, to conform to the edge 304 of the net 300 and is pushed against the edge 304 of the net 300 along its length.

[0152] In some embodiments, the semi-loop 306 serves as a visual indicator of the stretch of the mesh 300, since the stretch of the mesh 300 corresponds to the flatness or proximity of the length dimension of the semi-loop 306 to the edge 304 of the mesh 100. For this purpose, Figure 3B The length (L1) of the semi-ring 306 depicted is designed to be approximately equal to the stretched distance (D2) of the net 300 between the exit point 308 and the entrance point 310. Therefore, the length (L) of semi-ring 306 is equal to the maximum permissible distance (D2).

[0153] In some embodiments, the length (L) of the semi-loop 306 is predetermined based on the desired limit of the stretchability of the mesh 300. For example, and as... Figure 3D and Figure 3E As shown, the length (L2) of ring 306' allows net 300 to be stretched to a finite distance (D3), i.e. ( ), where the distance (D3) is greater than Figure 3C Distance (D2) In this example, (L2 / L1) is proportional to (D3 / D2).

[0154] In some embodiments, during the stretching of the net 300, the transverse strips 302 move / slide at least somewhat within the channel 110 of the adjustable intersection point 114, thereby creating some distribution of the transverse strips 302 throughout the net 300. This slight distribution of the transverse strips 302 has a negligible effect (if any) on the extension of the semi-loops 306 along the edge 304 of the net 300 during stretching.

[0155] In some embodiments, the maximum permissible stretchability of the mesh 300 depends, for example, on the material used to make the longitudinal strips 102, the degree of adhesion of the transverse strips 104 / 302 within the channel 312, and the density of the intersections of the transverse strips 302. In some embodiments, the transverse strips 302 are made of a non-flexible material. In some embodiments, the transverse strips 302 are made of a material that is less flexible than the material used to make the mesh 300, for example, one with a Young's modulus (E). band The Young's modulus (E) of the net is equal to or less than that of the net. net In some embodiments, the transverse strip 302 is made of an elastic material whose elastic limit is reached under tension less than that required for the fibers of the tear web 300. In some embodiments, the type of material of the transverse strip 302 depends on the degree of elasticity of the web 300 or the desired degree of stretchability of the web 300, regardless of the elasticity of the transverse strip 104 and the longitudinal strip 102 themselves.

[0156] Now for reference Figure 4A and Figure 4B These are simplified planar illustrations of a net 300 tensioning system according to some embodiments of the present invention. In some embodiments, the semi-ring 306 serves as a physical limiter for overstretching of the net 300. Figure 4A As shown, the net tension control system 300 includes a transverse band 302, a semi-circle 306, and a locking portion 402, which is located along one or more edge longitudinal bands (at the longitudinal edge of the net) 106 at one or more edges 304 of the net 300, preventing the transverse band 302 from stretching and tearing the net 300.

[0157] In one embodiment, one or more edges are longitudinal edges. In one embodiment, one or more edges include a portion of a longitudinal strip located at the edge or longitudinal edge of the net. In one embodiment, the net includes two longitudinal edges. In one embodiment, each longitudinal edge includes at least one longitudinal strip. In one embodiment, each longitudinal edge includes 1 to 10 longitudinal strips. In one embodiment, each longitudinal edge includes 1 to 6 longitudinal strips. In one embodiment, each longitudinal edge includes 2 to 4 longitudinal strips. In some embodiments, and as described elsewhere herein, the transverse strips 302 of the net 300 are disposed along adhesion points in the channels 110 and / or dedicated channels 312. In some embodiments, the adhesion of the transverse strips 302 within one or more channels 110 and / or dedicated channels 312 at the edge portions of the net 300 (e.g., along edge 304 strip 106) is stronger than the adhesion of the transverse strips 104 and longitudinal strips 102 of the net 300 at non-edge 304 portions of the net 300. This configuration forms a locking portion 402 along one or more edge portions of the net 300, which is disposed between one or more channels 110 and / or dedicated channels 312. In some embodiments, one or more portions of the transverse strip 104 / 302 are coated with adhesive. In some embodiments, the entire transverse strip 104 / 302 is coated with adhesive. In some embodiments, one or more portions of the transverse strip 104 / 302 are welded and / or adhered to one or more longitudinal strips 106.

[0158] A potential advantage of this configuration is that localized changes in the stretching of the net 300 will not affect the edge 304 of the net 300, for example, it will not cause tearing of the edge 304. A potential advantage of the locking portion 402 is that when the net 300 is tensioned, the locking portion 402 prevents the semi-ring 306 from moving inward from the edge 304 toward the center of the net 300 in the direction indicated by arrow 395.

[0159] In some embodiments, the ratio between the area (a) of the locking portion 402 and the area (b) marked by the dashed line 404 (which includes area (a) and contains channel 110 and / or dedicated channel 312) is ( The area (b) of net 300 is determined by the density of the longitudinal and transverse bands of net 300, and not necessarily by the stretchability of net 300.

[0160] In some embodiments, one or more portions 402 of the edge 304 band 106 can be reinforced by increasing the density of the transverse and longitudinal bands 104 of the mesh 300, adding layers to the mesh 300, adding layers of polymer or the like or any other reinforcing mechanism.
