  • Reinforcing strip
    Patent number: 4369941
    Abstract: A reinforcing strip of wire mesh for coatings on pipes, comprising a plurality of parallel longitudinally running warp wires provided with incurvations for giving the strip a longitudinal extensibility which increases gradually along the breadth of the strip. The adjacent warp wires are connected by obliquely running weft wires which are welded to the warp wires in the crossing points, preferably by one single continuous weft wire running in zigzag along the length of the strip.

  • Method for packing coils of wire netting
    Patent number: 4004396
    Abstract: A method of packing a wire netting coil by laying over each end of the coil a protective end cover having a plurality of tongues hingedly connected thereto, introducing the tongues into the coil in sufficient independent frictional engagement with the coil to keep the end covers in place, and subsequently tightly enclosing the coil with the thusly affixed end covers into a packing sheet.
