Abstract:
1. A tubular net arrangement comprising: a tubular net having a multiplicity of successive folded concentric layers, each layer having an inner diameter and an outer diameter; a support tube having a support tube diameter that is less than a maximum stretch diameter of the tubular net, the layers folded one next to the other on the support tube; a transfer tube associated with said support tube and having a transfer tube diameter that is greater than the support tube diameter, the outer diameter of the layers being at most equal to the transfer tube diameter, and the transfer tube being adapted to receive the tubular net outside the transfer tube, to form the multiplicity of successive concentric layers when the tubular net is transferred from the transfer tube and is folded onto the support tube; and the inner diameter of each layer being adjacent the support tube and being equal to the support tube diameter, and the outer diameter of each layer being spaced away from the support tube and being greater than the support tube diameter.
