Abstract
An architectural mesh sunscreen panel having at least a first portion including a first architectural mesh assembled from a plurality of first interwoven helically-wound spiral units and first connector rods; and a second portion including a second architectural mesh assembled from a plurality of second interwoven helically-wound spiral units and second connector rods. The first architectural mesh defines a first shading characteristic that is different from a second shading characteristic defined by the second architectural mesh.

An architectural mesh sunscreen panel, comprising:
- a first portion including a first architectural mesh assembled from a plurality of first interwoven helically-wound spiral units comprising a first spiral wound wire winding about first connector rods, wherein each said first helically wound spiral unit extends in a transverse direction of the architectural mesh panel and is associated with only two of said connector rods, said only two connector rods being positioned sequentially adjacent in a vertical direction of the architectural mesh sunscreen panel;
- and
- a second portion including a second architectural mesh assembled from a plurality of second interwoven helically-wound spiral units comprising a second spiral wound wire winding about second connector rods, wherein each said second helically wound spiral unit extends in a transverse direction of the architectural mesh panel and is associated with only two of said second connector rods, said only two second connector rods being positioned sequentially adjacent in a vertical direction of the architectural mesh sunscreen panel;
- wherein said first connector rods are different from said second connector rods;
- wherein said first architectural mesh and said second architectural mesh are joined along a common connector rod such that an uppermost edge of an uppermost one of said second interwoven helically-wound spiral units and a lowermost edge of a lowermost one of said first interwoven helically-wound spiral units wind about said common connector rod;
- wherein the first architectural mesh defines a first shading characteristic of the architectural mesh sunscreen panel that is different from a second shading characteristic of the architectural mesh sunscreen panel defined by the second architectural mesh;
- wherein when the second shading characteristic is greater than the first shading characteristic, said common connector rod is defined by one of said second connector rods.
