Patent No. EP4171847 (titled "Steel Wire Mesh Made Of Steel Wires Having Hexagonal Loops, Production Device, And Production Method") was filed by Geobrugg on Jan 11, 2022. The application was issued on Jan 10, 2024.
A steel wire mesh with hexagonal meshes made of high-strength steel wires, characterized by a unique mesh geometry with improved width-to-height ratios. The mesh is formed by twisting adjacent steel wires, with a controlled twisting speed and overtwisting angle to achieve a seamless tiling of hexagonal shapes. The mesh is designed for construction applications, particularly in natural hazard protection, and can be made from stainless steel with a service life of 100 years or more.
