Claim Text:
1. A method for producing a net, comprising: threading one of a plurality of longitudinal elements into engagement with another one of the plurality of longitudinal elements so that the one of the plurality of longitudinal elements is in contact with the another one of the plurality of longitudinal elements at a plurality of points separated from one another, each of the plurality of longitudinal elements having a first state in which the longitudinal element has a shape of a spiral or screw to thereby provide the longitudinal element with a cylindrical form in the first state, the one of the plurality of longitudinal elements being threaded to the another one of the plurality of longitudinal elements while the one of the plurality of longitudinal elements is in the first state in which the one of the plurality of longitudinal elements has the shape of a spiral or screw; then compressing the one of the plurality of longitudinal elements, when having the cylindrical form in the first state and after being threaded into engagement with the another one of the plurality of longitudinal elements, to bring the one of the plurality of longitudinal elements to a second state in which the one of the plurality of longitudinal elements has substantially straight wire sections, the step of compressing the one of the plurality of longitudinal elements comprising: continuing the threading and compression steps by threading a first additional one of the plurality of longitudinal elements to the one of the plurality of longitudinal elements, then compressing the first additional one of the plurality of longitudinal elements, and so on to form a net after multiple threading and compression steps.
