Method of manufacturing a metal braided net with a protruding thickness and metal braided net made thereby

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a metal braided net includes arranging a plurality of wires to form a plurality of pairs of wires contiguous to each other. An intertwining step is proceeded to intertwine each pair of wires a predetermined number of turns to form an intertwining portion. A displacement step is proceeded to make each pair of wires displace relative to each other through a predetermined distance. After an end of each of the plurality of wires has formed an inclining portion, plural pairs of contiguous metal wires are formed. The intertwining and displacement steps are repeated to form a metal braided net having hexagonal meshes and a predetermined size. Then, a bending portion is formed on each of the plurality of wires and protrudes outward from at least one of an upper and a lower surfaces of the metal braided net. A metal braided net is also disclosed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of manufacturing a metal braided net with a protruding thickness, with the method comprising:
 arranging a plurality of wires to form a plurality of pairs of wires contiguous to each other;   proceeding with an intertwining step to intertwine each pair of wires contiguous to each other a predetermined number of turns to form an intertwining portion;   proceeding with a displacement step to make each pair of wires contiguous to each other to displace relative to each other through a predetermined distance, wherein after an end of each of the plurality of wires has formed an inclining portion, plural pairs of contiguous metal wires are formed;   repeating the intertwining step and the displacement step to form a metal braided net which has hexagonal meshes and a predetermined size; and   forming a bending portion on each of the plurality of wires forming the metal braided net, with the bending portion protruding outward from at least one of an upper surface and a lower surface of the metal braided net.   
     
     
         2 . A metal braided net comprising:
 a plurality of wires intertwined with each other to form a plurality of intertwining portions, wherein the metal braided net has an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface; and   a plurality of bending portions formed on the plurality of wires, wherein the plurality of bending portions protrudes from at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the metal braided net.   
     
     
         3 . The metal braided net as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of bending portions is directly formed on the plurality of wires by at least one of pressing and bending. 
     
     
         4 . The metal braided net as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of bending portions is formed between two adjacent intertwining portions. 
     
     
         5 . The metal braided net as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of bending portions is formed on the intertwining portions.
