  • Expanded metal mesh and tool for producing the same
    Patent number: 6696169
    Abstract: The invention relates to expanded metal mesh consisting of mesh webs and nodes and to a tool for producing said expanded metal mesh. At least some of the mesh nodes are configured as predetermined breaking points (8, 9a, 9b). The expanded metal mesh is produced by a shear blade which has tooth bases of differing depths between the individual teeth on the blade profile.

  • Zigzag breakwater
    Patent number: 5141359
    Abstract: Stationary zigzag breakwater embedded into the sea bottom or floating breakwater. The determining factor for the wave-reflecting characteristics and the structural stability of the breakwater is the appropriate dimensioning of the zigzag elements. In stationary breakwaters embedded into the sea bottom, the length (l) of the zigzag elements is at least equal to or greater, preferably 5 to 8 times as great or greater, than the depth of water (d). The total height (h) of the wave-reflecting side walls is at least equal to or greater than the depth of water (d), preferably 2 to 2.5 times greater than the depth of water (d). In floating breakwaters, the length (l) of the zigzag elements is at least equal to or greater than half of the maximum foreseeable wave length. The total height (h) of the wave-reflecting side walls (11) is at least equal to or greater than 1 to 1.5 times the maximum foreseeable wave height. The zigzag elements (7, 8) are interconnected by means of oscillation-damping connecting members (9).

  • Zigzag breakwater
    Patent number: 5062739
    Abstract: Stationary zigzag breakwater embedded into the sea bottom or floating breakwater. The determining factor for the wave-reflecting characteristics and the structural stability of the breakwater is the appropriate dimensioning of the zigzag elements. In stationary breakwaters embedded into the sea bottom, the length (1) of the zigazg elements is at least equal to or greater, preferably 5 to 8 times as great or greater, than the depth of water (d). The total height (h) of the wave-reflecting side walls is at least equal to or greater than the depth of water (d), preferably 2 to 2.5 times greater than the depth of water (d). In floating breakwaters, the length (1) of the zigzag elements is at least equal to or greater than half of the maximum foreseeable wave length. The total height (h) of the wave-reflecting side walls (11) is at least equal to or greater than 1 to 1.5 times the maximim foreseeable wave height. The zigzag elements (7, 8) are interconnected by means of oscillation-damping connecting members (9).
