WIRE FABRIC FOR FENCES, SCREENS, 84C.

SPECIFICATION forming part o f Letters Patent No. 316,793, dated April 28, 1885.

Application filed February 26, 1885. (No model.) i

.To all whom it III/ay concern:

Beit known that I, WILLIAM KLosE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Wire Fabrics for Fences, Screens, &c., of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a Wire fabric for fences, screens, dmc., which can be cheaply manufactured, and the bars of which are securely connected together.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents a section of a wire fence or screen constructed in accordance with my invention; Figs. 2 and 3, enlarged perspective views illustrating the method of making the same, and Fig. 4 a View showing a modification.

The structure shown in Fig. l comprises longitudinal wires Aand diagonal wires B and D, thelatter being arranged at reverse angles,

and where they cross each other being confined l within loops a of the longitudinal Wires A.

A fence or screen constructed in this manneris cheap, owing to the simplicity of its construction, and durable, because the wires are firmly bound together by the loops a of the wires A.

In making the structure the loops a are in the first instance large, and the wires B and D are passed loosely through these loops, as 3o shown in Fig. 2, the wires A being then subjected to longitudinal tension, so as to tighten the loops and cause them to bind firmly upon the wires B and D. (See Fig. 3.)

Single Wires, crossing the wires A at right 55 gitudinal wires A, having at intervals loops a, 4o

in which are closely confined the transverse wires of the structure, as set forth.

2. The combination of the Wires B and D, crossing each other diagonally, with the wires A, having loops a, which closely confine the 45 Wires B and D at the points Where they cross each other, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

WM. KLOSE. Witnesses:

J oHN M. CLAYTON, HARRY SMITH.
