Chainmail Machine

The document describes a machine for manufacturing chain mail in tubular shape. The machine holds the chain mail alternately with two rows of suspension hooks arranged opposite each other. It differs from prior machines in that the chain mail is completely at rest between the ring-forming tools, allowing for easy insertion of ring elements. The ring holders are mounted on a rotating disk and guided by stationary cam elements to maintain their positions during mesh formation.
