Apparatus for manufacturing reinforcement meshes and a spinning station therefor
The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing reinforcement meshes and spinning stations therefor. Reinforcement rods to be joined with the spinning wires are supplied by advancing means from the rear end of the apparatus, and a special mechanism prevents that the wire breaks during its encounter with the reinforcement rod.
DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING A WEAVE
A device for manufacturing a weave, including a winder for reeling the manufactured weave to a rotating reel, wire spools arranged to release longitudinal wires to said winder, a wire spool carrier comprising a wheel and a slit extending through the wheel from a centre of the wire spool carrier to the circumference, an additional wire spool releasably attached to the wire spool carrier and arranged to release a crossing wire, and an actuator configured to move the wire spool carrier between the longitudinal wires such that the additional wire spool in turns moves to each longitudinal wire to a position where the respective longitudinal wire is located in said slit at which stage the wheel rotates around said respective longitudinal wire before moving towards a following longitudinal wire in such way that a predetermined path of the crossing wire from the additional wire spool forms the weave with the longitudinal wires from the wire spools.
Coil string staging area apparatus and method
A continuous coil string staging system is provided herein that includes at least one coiler configured to output at least one continuous coil string, at least one assembler configured to assemble the at least one continuous coil string into a mattress assembly, and at least one coil string staging apparatus disposed between the at least one coiler and at the least one assembler. The at least one coil string staging apparatus can have an input, a staging buffer, and an output such that the coil string staging apparatus receives the at least one continuous coil string that is output from the at least one coiler and outputs the at least one continuous coil string to the assembler such that there is a buffer of coil string available to the assembler. Various coil string staging apparatuses and methods are also provided herein.

MESH SHEET, SYSTEMS AND DEVICES THAT INCORPORATE A MESH SHEET, AND METHODS AND EQUIPMENT FOR FABRICATING A MESH SHEET
An apparatus for manufacturing a second mesh roll from a first mesh roll is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an unreeling shaft, an edge treatment unit, and a reeling shaft. The unreeling shaft is configured to rotatably support the first mesh roll and provide an unreeled length of the first mesh roll in a longitudinal direction. The edge treatment unit is configured to receive the unreeled length of the first mesh roll and cut the first mesh roll along a transverse axis and treat one or more edges of the first mesh roll to form the second mesh roll. The reeling shaft is configured to receive and rotatably support the second mesh roll.
