Benefits of technology

[0037] In another embodiment the invention comprises producing a substantially flat and easily cleaneable smooth surface with an internal decorative and textured wire screen.

Problems solved by technology

Due to the small diameter wire mesh with large openings therein that permit maximum vision therethrough, there is effectively very little inherent strength in this wire mesh.
The above patents do not disclose solutions to the problems discussed above.

Embodiment Construction

[0064] Referring now to the drawings and, more particularly to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, there is shown wire mesh panel 10 which comprises wire meshes 12A and 12B which are mounted within upper transparent panel 14 and lower transparent panel 16. The wire mesh utilized in wire mesh panel 10 may comprise many different types, including many different weaves, knits, and constructions. Wire mesh panel 10 is generally designed to have much less open area than prior art safety glass and may typically have open area in the range from zero to eighty-five percent as compared to the total area of the wire mesh but could comprise other ranges e.g., less than forty percent. In fact, in some cases it may be desirable to provide wire mesh with very small open areas or to completely close off the open areas thereby blocking vision therethrough such as for a show enclosure or dressing room curtain. Architect may be able to select a panel based on light passing through, light reflected, light abs...

Abstract

An assembly and method is provided for a decorative panel which may be utilized as a screen, wall, or other structural surface comprises a wire mesh woven with flat, substantially flat, or planar surfaced wires mounted within transparent or translucent sheets of glass, polycarbonate, plastic, and / or other glass-like material. The wires comprise twisted portions within the weave thereof whereby the twisting flat, substantially flat or planar surfaces thereby produce a visual effect. During construction of the panel, one or more sheets of binding material are positioned between the transparent or translucent sheet along with the mesh. The assembly is heated and compressed to thereby form a panel with all components bound together.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 620,544 filed Jul. 16, 2003.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention relates generally to a wire mesh panel and, in one possible embodiment, to a wire mesh panel comprised of generally planar wires which may also comprise flat wires with twists therein. BACKGROUND [0003] Safety glass, also known as wired glass, is well known in the prior art. Safety glass may utilize a wire mesh support as discussed in more detail in the cited patents listed hereinafter. Safety glass is utilized to provide protective windows that permit visual perception therethrough. Accordingly, the wire mesh utilized in prior art safety glass is typically of very small diameter wire with wide openings in the mesh so as to avoid obstructing vision through the glass. Due to the small diameter wire mesh with large openings therein that permit maximum vision therethrough, there is effectively very little inherent strength in ...
