Abstract
Abstract A wire-net structure for heavy-duty use comprises a rectangular mesh of diagonally intersecting wire elements framed by a peripheral cable passing through a set of eyes on each side of the rectangle, the wire elements including a multiplicity of straight ropes paralleling one diagonal direction and a continuous meandering cable with sections paralleling the other diagonal direction. The straight ropes are anchored to the eyes traversed by the peripheral cable whereas the meandering cable engages only the ropes, being looped about some of those at bight portions interconnecting its diagonally extending sections. For use as a blasting mat, several of which may be tied adjacent one another around a conduit in danger of rupture, the meshing wire elements slide freely past one another; for other uses, e.g. as a cargo net, they may be fixedly interconnected at their intersections.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A wire-net structure comprising: a generally rectangular frame; a multiplicity of first wire elements anchored at their ends to said frame, said first wire elements extending substantially parallel to one diagonal of the rectangle defined by said frame; and a continuous cable of meandering configuration with sections substantially parallel to the other diagonal of said rectangle, said sections constituting second wire elements intermeshed with said first wire elements, said continuous cable being secured to said frame only through said first wire elements.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A wire-net structure comprising: a generally rectangular frame; a multiplicity of first wire elements anchored at their ends to said frame, said first wire elements extending substantially parallel to one diagonal of the rectangle defined by said frame; and a continuous cable of meandering configuration with sections substantially parallel to the other diagonal of said rectangle, said sections constituting second wire elements intermeshed with said first wire elements, said continuous cable being secured to said frame only through said first wire elements.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
A wire-net structure comprising: a generally rectangular frame; a multiplicity of first wire elements anchored at their ends to said frame, said first wire elements extending substantially parallel to one diagonal of the rectangle defined by said frame; and a continuous cable of meandering configuration with sections substantially parallel to the other diagonal of said rectangle, said sections constituting second wire elements intermeshed with said first wire elements, said continuous cable being secured to said frame only through said first wire elements.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
82 words
A wire-net structure comprising: a generally rectangular frame; a multiplicity of first wire elements anchored at their ends to said frame, said first wire elements extending substantially parallel to one diagonal of the rectangle defined by said frame; and a continuous cable of meandering configuration with sections substantially parallel to the other diagonal of said rectangle, said sections constituting second wire elements intermeshed with said first wire elements, said continuous cable being secured to said frame only through said first wire elements.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
A wire-net structure as defined in claim 1 wherein said frame comprises a peripheral cable and a set of eyes traversed by said peripheral cable on each side of the rectangle, said first wire elements being tied to said eyes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
A wire-net structure as defined in claim 1 wherein said continuous cable has bight portions looped about certain of said first wire elements, said first and second wire elements being freely slidable relatively to one another at their points of intersection.
