Separating or holding net

Abstract

A separating or holding net has net filaments forming rhombic mesh openings and an elastic edge member that has only a very small amount of slack or no slack.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A separating or holding net comprising:
 an elastic netting part having rhombic mesh openings that are formed of string groups running at an angle to one another and each comprising a plurality of net filaments; and   an elastic edge member at least on a part of the net mesh edge, the net filaments forming the rhombic mesh openings are designed in accordance with the arrangement thereof in the netting part so that the elastic edge member of the separating or holding net, in the assembled state thereof, has only a very low amount of slack or no slack.   
     
     
         2 . The net defined in  claim 1 , wherein the filaments thereof differ in terms of the type and/or composition of the material thereof in accordance with their position in the netting part. 
     
     
         3 . The net defined in  claim 1 , wherein the filaments differ in terms of the amount of the material used therefor in accordance with their position in the netting part. 
     
     
         4 . The net defined in  claim 1 , wherein the filaments differ in terms of the application of tension to which they are subjected in the production of the netting part in accordance with their position in the netting part. 
     
     
         5 . The net defined in  claim 1 , wherein the elastic edge member has a very low amount of slack or no slack in the assembled state of the separating or holding net. 
     
     
         6 . The net defined in  claim 1 , wherein parts of the netting edge that are not provided with the minimum one elastic edge member are provided with at least one relatively stiff edge part. 
     
     
         7 . The net defined in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 couplings between ends of the elastic edge member and ends of the relatively stiff edge part.
