Definitions

  • This invention relates to a barbed-wire bundle and is more particularly directed to a barbed-Wire bundle which is self-supporting.
  • barbed-wire has been wound on wire reels mounted on a mandrel. After the bundle is completed, the barbed-wire and the wire reel are removed from the mandrel as a single unit.
  • the barbed-wire is laid up helically in a plurality of layers with the direction of lay in each layer being opposite to that in the adjacent layers.
  • the pitch is short, about /1 inch, which causes successive layers to cross one another at a very slight angle.
  • the cost of the barbedwire reel and the expense incurred in assembling it on the mandrel form a very substantial part of the manufacture of the bundle.
  • the reel has a center core and two end flanges and it is customary to lift such reels of barbed-wire by engaging the center core or one of the legs of the flanges. Neither of these locations provides a suitable handle because they are near the barbed-wire.
  • the bundle In paying oif the barbed-wire in the field, the bundle is rotated on a shaft that is inserted snugly through aligned center holes in the end flanges. When a snag occurs, a sudden jerk will usually disengage it, but this sudden jerk also causes an undesirable acceleration of the rotation of the reel because it is rotating about its center of gravity. This usually causes one or two loose wraps of barbed-wire on the reel which often fall off to the side and become entangled with the shaft or the legs of the reel. This necessitates stopping the stringing to disentangle the barbed-wire.
  • FIGURE 1 is a schematic view of apparatus which may be used in forming a bundle and showing layers of barbedwire in place on the mandrel;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a bundle of barbed-wire of our invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a view showing the bundle of FIGURE 2 supported for paying off the barbed wire.
  • reference numeral 2 designates a barbed-wire bundle of our invention.
  • the bundle 2 comprises a plurality of layers of barbed-wire 4 which are arranged around an axial coreless opening 6.
  • the barbedwire in each layer is helically wound with the direction of lay in each layer being opposite to that in the adjacent layers.
  • the barbed-wire is laid with a relatively long pitch P which we have found must be at least 1% inches. This results in the wires in adjacent layers crossing at an angle A of approximately 10 or greater.
  • the barbed-wire 4 passes over a wire guide 14 and is wound on a driven mandrel 16 having end members 17 and will reverse its direction of travel after each layer of barbed-wire is laid.
  • the wire guide 14 traverses a shaft 18.
  • This equipment is conventional and it is preferred that the guide 14 be positively driven transversely as in Putnam et al. Patent No. 359,- 917, dated June 20, 1882, since when so driven it is possible to better control the pitch.
  • the bundles have been made successfully on equipment similar to that shown in Bates Patent No. 265,723, dated June 28, 1887, in which the wire guide 14 is traversed by movement of the barbed-wire itself.
  • After the bundle is completed it is stripped from the mandrel 16 in the usual manner by removing one of the end members 17.
  • the tie wires 8 and 10 and handle 12 are then applied and the bundle is ready for shipment.
  • the wires 8 and 10 and handle 12 are removed and the bundle is supported in horizontal position on a rod 20, which in turn is supported on bracket 22.
  • the rod 20 has a diameter substantially less than that of opening 6. For example, it is quit common to have the diameter of the core opening 5 inches and the diameter of the rod 20, 1% inches.
  • the center of gravity of the bundle is 2 /2 inches below the center of rotation so that when a snag occurs it can be disengaged by a sudden jerk without causing any acceleration in the rotation of the bundle.
  • the long pitch also helps to prevent Wraps falling ofl the bundle because the barbed-wire approaches the edge of the bundle at a considerable angle and then recedes immediately from the edge at a similar angle.
  • a barbed-wire bundle comprising a plurality of layers of barbed-wire around an axial coreless opening, the barbed-wire in each layer being helically wound with a minimum pitch of 1% inches, the direction of lay in each layer being opposite to that in the adjacent layers.
  • a barbed-Wire bundle according to claim 1 in which the wires in adjacent layers cross at a minimum angle of 3.
  • a barbed-wire bundle according to claim 1 includ- 162,760 ing two tie wires passing through the axial opening and 5 750056 around the outside of the bundle. 784794 4.
  • a barbed-wire bundle according to claim 3 in which the two tie wires are in diametric alignment, and a wire handle has its ends connected to said tie wires.
