My invention therefore primarily comprises as a new article of manufacture a frame of the above character, having oppositely disposed companion sets of metallic eyelets extending through'the end bars of the frame for the reception of the wire strand, whereby when tension, a metal to metal contact is effected throughout the entire fabricated structure to thus effectually prevent loosening of the wires through sagging, whereby the parts of the frame, tained in their normal rigid relations to thus insure the desired results.

The end bars have fitted therethrough and upset, series of oppositely disposed metallic eyelets 3 3, each of said-eyeletsbeing formed with dished heads 4, as best shown in Fig ure 3, to thereby form a slight cushion or resiliency, it being understood that the mouth ends of the eyelets are curved so as The bottom to present a rounded surface. end top setof eyelets are positioned n axial alignment with each other, and the intermediatecompanion sets, as best illustrated in Figure 3, are disaligned slightly for the purpose to be hereinafter described. 5 of a wire strand 6 is secured to the outer face of the frame after threaded through the first eyelet, and thence across the frame to its companion eye- One end 3 bar 2 and the wire is there 7 let, from which point itis trained down to.

eyelet, and from this point the opposite end 5 is attached to the bar 2, it being understood that the wire strand running in this zig-Zag formation is under tension and produces a series of parallel strands for the purpose of supporting the honey comb.-
Thus it will be seen that a metal to metal contact is effected throughout the entire zig-zag course of the wire strand, and there is no liability of the strand in turning corners and entering the eyelet to cut the soft wooden bars.
Referring more particularly to Figure 3, it will be observed that the intermediate eyelets which are offset slightly are so arranged that the strand passing through them will remain parallel to the outer strands, due to the fact that said intermediate strands will wall of the first intermedithe lower wall. of the com- Owing to this arrangement, the wire can be tensioned to any desired degree without liability of bedisaligned with its companion stretches. It will further be observed that owing to the large dished heads 4 of the eyelets, their liability to out into the wood base is reduced to a minimum.
From the foregoing description, it is manifest that a honey comb frame built up in accordance with the accompanying illustraengage the upper ate eyelet a? and tions, having metallic eyelets, will materially lengthen the life of the frame, and
will under all conditions revent sa in a a a: as

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand at Watertown, in the county of Jefferson and State of W'iscousin.
