20110314731 | PLANT TREATMENT MATERIAL - Described is a reflective ground cover sheet material ( | 12-29-2011 |
20120141730 | WOVEN GROUND COVER MATERIALS - A ground cover sheet material for use in agriculture is woven from warp and weft tapes of a plastics material and at least some of the warp or weft tapes have a greater width and/or thickness than the weft or warp tapes, or the material includes a higher density of warp or weft tapes relative to the weft or warp tapes per unit area, or includes slits through the tapes, or the tapes are folded lengthwise, all optionally in one or more high water flow through lengthwise extending parts of the material. In one embodiment the material is woven from warp or weft tapes some having a rectangular or square cross-section and some having a circular or oval cross-section. In some embodiments the material is also a reflective material. | 06-07-2012 |
20130219783 | CROP PROTECTION NETTING - Crop protection netting for covering trees or other plants for insect or bird exclusion is of a knitted mesh construction, including knit intersections in the netting and connecting yarn portions between the yarn intersections which extend substantially linearly between intersections. The netting is lightweight and strechable in multiple directions. | 08-29-2013 |
20150083267 | GROUND COVER MATERIAL - A woven ground cover sheet material woven from warp and weft tapes and in which the thickness of warp tapes is reduced in longitudinally extending opposite side margins of the material and in one or more centre regions relative to the width of warp tapes making up the balance of the material. | 03-26-2015 |
20150195998 | GROMMET FOR A SHEET MATERIAL - A grommet adapted to be assembled with a sheet material around an aperture in the sheet material is described. The grommet comprises a first flange and a second flange adapted to be assembled together with the sheet material positioned between. The first flange comprises locking pins to extend through the sheet material around the aperture and the second flange comprises corresponding holes for receiving the locking pins. Each locking pin comprising a rim that bears against a corresponding surface of the second flange to hold the flanges together. | 07-16-2015 |
20150201565 | CANOPY - A canopy comprises a sheet material that forms a main portion of the canopy having a greater length than width. The canopy comprises vent apertures in the sheet material. The vent apertures are spaced apart along the length of the canopy. The vent apertures may have vent covers. The vent cover restricts water from flowing or entering the vent aperture and passing from outside the canopy to inside the canopy but allows air to move upwards though the vent, or relieves pressure from beneath the canopy. | 07-23-2015 |
20150218847 | SHEET MATERIAL CORNER REINFORCEMENT - A reinforcement structure for securement to a corner of a sheet material is described. The reinforcement structure comprises a first plate member and a second plate member each having an overlapping portion and an aperture disposed within the overlapping portion. The apertures are coaxially aligned to accept a fastener at an axis on which the first and/or second plate members are rotatable to extend along adjacent edges of the sheet material in use. | 08-06-2015 |
20150223411 | NETTING, CROP COVER, AND GROUND COVER MATERIALS - The invention relates to crop netting materials, crop cover materials, and ground cover materials for agricultural applications, which is knitted, woven or non-woven, from a synthetic monofilament, multifilament yarn, or tape or combination thereof, formed from a resin comprising at least one pigment such that the monofilament, multifilament yarn, or tape, transmit solar radiation in the visible wavelength range of about 420 to 720 nm at a level similar to the level that the materials transmit solar radiation in the infra-red wavelength ranges of about 700 to about 1000 nm and 1500 to about 1600 nm. The materials also absorb solar radiation in the UV wavelength range of about 300 to about 380 nm. | 08-13-2015 |
20150351330 | NETTING MATERIAL WITH GROMMETS - A netting material having a length dimension and a width dimension much smaller than the length dimension comprises a flap folded from a fold region of the netting material along a longitudinal fold line at a distance from a longitudinal edge of the netting. The flap therefore comprises at least two layers of the netting material folded together. One or more eyelets are provided in the flap. | 12-10-2015 |

20120090229 | REFLECTIVE NETTING MATERIAL - A reflective netting material suitable for providing over and/or adjacent the plant as bird netting, insect netting, shadecloth netting, windbreak netting, or hail protection netting, is knitted, woven, or non-woven, from a synthetic monofilament, yarn, or tape or combination thereof formed from a resin comprising at least one white pigment such that the monofilament, yarn, or tape reflects at least 30% solar radiation on average across the UV (wavelength about 280-400 nm), visible (wavelength about 400-700 nm) and very near infrared (wavelength about 700-800 nm) ranges, and which transmits at least 10% or 5% on average of solar radiation across the wavelength range about 800-2500 nm. | 04-19-2012 |
20130180169 | CANOPY MATERIAL - A canopy sheet material for use over growing plants such as grape or berry or other fruit vines has higher water permeability in a longitudinally extending substantially center lengthwise part ( | 07-18-2013 |
20150033622 | REFLECTIVE GROUND COVER MATERIAL - A reflective ground cover sheet material for agricultural use woven from warp and weft tapes of a plastics film material has an average gap g between edges of adjacent tapes in both the warp and the weft direction in the range about 0.1 mm to about 1.2 mm. The tapes may be of width w in the range 2 to 7 mm. The materials may optimise air, water, solar transmission, long wave radiation or heat and dirt/soil movement through the material, and sufficient coverage and reflectivity, and physical material construction strength. | 02-05-2015 |
