Abstract
Abstract Chain-link fencing consisting of a mesh of interlinked wire coils is flattened so as to have an overall thickness perpendicular to the plane of the mesh equal to between two and five times the diameter of the wire constituting the coils. Thereupon the flattened mesh is either rolled up into tight rolls, or is laid meander-fashion in a container. The mesh may be flattened by means of a platen press operating synchronously and immediately downstream of a fence-weaving machine that produces the mesh step-wise, or by a pair of rollers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A method of making a package of chain-link fencing, said method comprising the steps of: weaving round-section metal wire provided with a protective synthetic-resin covering into a mesh of interlinked wire coils having a transverse thickness equal to between five and eight times the overall diameter of the coated wire, flattening the coils of said mesh immediately following weaving thereof to reduce said transverse thickness to a dimension equal to between two and four times said diameter, and, rolling up the flattened-coil mesh.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
83 words
A method of making a package of chain-link fencing, said method comprising the steps of: weaving round-section metal wire provided with a protective synthetic-resin covering into a mesh of interlinked wire coils having a transverse thickness equal to between five and eight times the overall diameter of the coated wire, flattening the coils of said mesh immediately following weaving thereof to reduce said transverse thickness to a dimension equal to between two and four times said diameter, and, rolling up the flattened-coil mesh.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A chain-link fencing package comprising a tightly wound roll of a mesh of metal interlinked coils formed of wire having a synthetic-resin covering and an overall outside diameter, said mesh having a maximum transverse thickness equal to between two and four times said overall diameter.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
A chain-link fencing package comprising a tightly wound roll of a mesh of metal interlinked coils formed of wire having a synthetic-resin covering and an overall outside diameter, said mesh having a maximum transverse thickness equal to between two and four times said overall diameter.
