Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004022258A1] A method of cutting an elongate strip of wirecloth (122) to a given length and finish the ends so as to maintain the integrity of the weave at both ends. One end of a rolled up oversize length of woven wirecloth is clamped (14), the wirecloth is unrolled and the far end is clamped (12). The unrolled length is tensioned (20). Parallel sided bars (60) are positioned across the wirecloth (5). The wirecloth is marked with two pairs of parallel lines using the parallel inner and outer faces of the two bars (60) as straight edges (6). The bars (60) are removed and the warp and weft wires of the cloth between each pair of parallel lines are bound together to form a solid seam to lock the weave in place between the two seams (8), and the wirecloth is cut along the outer of each of the pairs of lines corresponding to the outer edges of the two seams to produce the desired length of cloth (9, 10). Binding the warp and weft wires to form the seams is performed by soldering, welding or by an adhesive.
