Cargo net

摘要

A net is provided having a plurality of net members, the net members being arranged in a lattice structure and having a thickness (D1). The net is further provided with attachment devices having a thickness (D2) which are connected to the net members, the thickness (D2) of the attachment devices being larger that the thickness of the net members (D1) at least at the places of connection through which loads are transmitted between the net members and the attachment devices. The ratio between the thickness of the net members and the thickness of the attachment devices (D1/D2) is at least 1.15. The net is useful as a barrier net to secure an off-limits area and as a cargo net to restrain cargo movement on a platform of a pallet.

1. A net comprising:
a plurality of net members, and attachment devices selected from the group consisting of hooks, floor fittings, lashing lines, corner ties and tension devices, wherein the net members comprise lengths of ropes arranged in a lattice structure and having a thickness D1, and wherein the attachment devices are connected to the net members at respective places of connection through which loads are transmitted between the net members and the attachment devices, and wherein the attachment devices have a thickness D2 which is larger than the thickness D1 of the net members at least at the respective places of connection through which loads are transmitted between the net members and the attachment devices, and wherein the thicknesses D1 and D2 are respectively measured through a cross-section of the net members and the attachment devices perpendicular to the respective places of connection through which loads are transmitted between the net members and the attachment devices, and wherein the ratio D2/D1 is at least 3.0.
