    In this paper the authors construct examples of (non-minimal) Willmore tori which are full in \(S^5\). Via equivariant geometry the pde problem in five dimensions is reduced to an ode problem in four dimensions. In fact, the problem reduces to finding elastic curves. To find specific examples they consider those with ``constant slant''. Examples similar to those of \textit{U. Pinkall} [Invent. Math. 81, 379-386 (1985; Zbl 0585.53051)] as well as examples similar to those of \textit{M. Barros} and \textit{B. Y. Chen} [J. Math. Soc. Japan 39, 627-648 (1987; Zbl 0613.53023)] are constructed.
