Abstract
A metal mesh network, such as chain-mail, used for handbags, tapestries, vase mats, rugs, vests, etc. including unit piece members formed with pawls and joint ring members which are coated, before being formed, with a thermosetting acrylic resin paint, selected from epoxy type, ulethan type, and thermosetting acrylic type resin paints, over the entire surfaces. An assembling fixture for assembling the metal mesh network is a board formed on its surface with a plurality of square dents and posts. The unit piece members are placed in the dents of the fixture with the pawls up, and the joint ring members are put on the pawls. When the pawls are bent, the unit piece members are linked by the ring members to form chain-mail. With the unit piece members of different colors, ring members and the assembling fixture, one can readily form chain-mail of any size with any pattern on it.
