  • Process for the manufacture of knotlessly braided nets
    Patent number: 4491052
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for fabricating three, four, six, or eight-threaded knotlessly woven nets, which involves aligning at least a plurality of flyer wheels to form a braiding head, and then positioning two such braiding heads against one another. Bobbins are then positioned on recesses formed at discrete intervals along the circumference of said flyer wheels, and the bobbins are then rotated about said flyer wheels in figure-eight shaped fashion to weave a net shank. Then, the bobbins are rotated between the braiding heads in figure-eight shaped fashion to form a connection point between the net shanks.
