Abstract
Abstract Mesh structure comprises an array of interconnected members of which some are pre-formed. At least some of the pre-formed members comprise or contain single elongate components of synthetic plastics material of which the molecular structure has been orientated in a direction corresponding to the longitudinal axis of said members.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
Mesh structure comprising a plurality of longitudinal members, a plurality of transverse members, and joins interconnecting said members at the junctures where said members cross each other at least some of said transverse members comprising single elongate components of synthetic plastics material of which the molecular structure has been orientated in a direction corresponding to the longitudinal axis of said member, each of said elongate components being provided at each of said joins with at lease one local pre-formed permanent deformation, and masses of plastic material moulded around the junctures of said members to form said joins.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
Mesh structure comprising a plurality of longitudinal members, a plurality of transverse members, and joins interconnecting said members at the junctures where said members cross each other at least some of said transverse members comprising single elongate components of synthetic plastics material of which the molecular structure has been orientated in a direction corresponding to the longitudinal axis of said member, each of said elongate components being provided at each of said joins with at lease one local pre-formed permanent deformation, and masses of plastic material moulded around the junctures of said members to form said joins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A mesh structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein all said transverse members comprise single elongate components of synthetic plastics material of which the molecular structure has been orientated in a direction corresponding to the longitudinal axis of said member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
Mesh structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein all said members comprise single elongate components of synthetic plastics material of which the molecular structure has been orientated in a direction corresponding to the longitudinal axis of said member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
Mesh structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said longitudinal members comprise flexible twines or threads.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
Mesh structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least some of said longitudinal members are surrounded by or otherwise contain at least one filament of electrically conductive material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
Mesh structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said deformation comprise recesses in said transverse members in which said longitudinal members are received.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
Mesh structure as claimed in claim 6, wherein second local permanent complementary deformations are provided in opposite faces of said transverse members in positions superimposed upon said first deformations.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
Mesh structure as claimed in claim 3, wherein said longitudinal and transverse members are both provided with local permanent deformations which are interchangeable to locate the members in a desired relative position.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
28 words
Mesh structure as claimed in claim 8, wherein said deformations comprise recesses which are fitted together in registry to locate said members at right angles to each other.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
Mesh structure as claimed in claim 8, wherein said deformations comprises locally flattened regions provided with apertures enabling said masses of plastics material around said deformations to flow into said apertures.
