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

Abstract

The invention relates to a wire netting (10a; 10b), in particular a safety net, with a plurality of helices (12a, 14a; 12b) which are braided with each other, and which are bent from a high-tensile steel wire (18a; 18b), the helices (12a, 14a; 12b) each having a first leg (20a; 20b), a second leg (22a; 22b) as well as a bending region (24a; 24b) connecting the first leg (20a; 20b) and the second leg (22a; 22b) to each other, characterized in that the longitudinal element (16a; 16b) is substantially or entirely torsion-free in itself along a contour of the first leg (20a; 20b) and / or of the second leg (22a; 22b). The invention additionally relates to a method for producing a helix (12a) for a wire netting (10a).
