Wire mesh and method for producing a coil for a wire mesh

Abstract

The invention relates to a wire mesh (10a; 10b; 10c), in particular a safety net, comprising multiple coils (12a, 14a; 12b; 12c) which are braided into one another and at least one coil (12a; 12b; 12c) of which is made of at least one individual wire, a wire bundle, a wire strand, a wire rope, and / or another longitudinal element (16a; 16b; 16c) with at least one wire (18a; 18b; 18c) and comprises at least one first limb (20a; 20b; 20c), at least one second limb (22a; 22b; 22c), and at least one bending point (24a; 24b; 24c) that connects the first limb (20a; 20b; 20c) and the second limb (22a; 22b; 22c). The first limb (20a; 20b; 20c) runs at least at a first inclination angle (26a; 26b; 26c) with respect to a longitudinal direction (28a; 28b; 28c) of the coil (12a; 12b; 12c) when viewed in a frontal direction perpendicularly to a main extension plane of the coil (12a; 12b; 12c). When viewed in a transverse direction parallel to the main extension plane of the coil (12a; 12b; 12c) and perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction (28; 28b; 28c) of the coil (12a; 12b; 12c), the bending point (24a; 24b; 24c) runs at least in some sections at a second inclination angle (30a; 30b; 30c) relative to the longitudinal direction (28a; 28b; 28c) of the coil (12a; 12b; 12c), said second inclination angle differing from the first inclination angle (26a; 26b; 26c).
