DESCRIZIONE
The invention relates to a wire mesh (10a; 10d; 10e), in particular a safety net, comprising multiple coils (12a, 14a; 12d; 12e) which are braided into one another and at least one coil (12a; 12d; 12e) of which is made of at least one individual wire, a wire bundle, a wire strand, a wire rope, and/or another longitudinal element (16a; 16d; 16e) with at least one wire (18a; 18d; 18e) and comprises at least one first limb (20a; 20d; 20e), at least one second limb (22a; 22d; 22e), and at least one bending point (24a; 24d; 24e) that connects the first limb (20a; 20d; 20e) and the second limb (22a; 22d; 22e). According to the invention, when viewed longitudinally parallel to a longitudinal direction (28a; 28d; 28e) of the coil (12a; 12d; 12e), the bending point (24a; 24d; 24e) comprises at least one bending region (34a; 34d; 34e) with a bending curvature and at least one first transition region (36a; 36d; 36e) which is connected to the first limb (20a; 20d; 20e) and which has a first transition curvature that differs from the bending curvature.
