Definitions

  • Herbst Attorney-Sparrow and Sparrow ABSTRACT- A wire mesh consisting of hexagonal meshes having an improved strength by inserting transverse wires at reguIar distances across the mesh and providing 1ongitudinally extending seam wires at the lateral seams of the wire mesh.
  • the invention consists in such novel features, construction arrangements, combinations of parts and improvements as may be shown and described in connection with the wire mesh herein disclosed by way of example only and as illustrative of a preferred embodiment.
  • the invention consists in a novel structure of wire mesh with hexagonal meshes, triple twisted, for reinforcing the strength and the stiffness of this mesh in the transverse direction thereof.
  • Straight transverse wires are inserted in the mesh at regular intervals, extending across the mesh from one longitudinal seam to the other.
  • the wires are intertwined in the twisted portions of the meshes. If the wire mesh is intended for use where the seams have the tendency to close in, such as, for example when used for an enclosure, the transverse wires are made of rigid bars.
  • the transverse wires are kept soft and slack and are usually left to extend beyond the seams, thus constituting means for binding loose ends between the seams.
  • the method of manufacturing of this novel wire mesh comprises inserting the transverse straight wires during the weaving of the mesh itself by interrupting the twisting of a row of meshes and by feeding the straight wire into the partially twisted mesh wires and then finishing the twisting of the row of meshes.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a new method of producing reinforced wire mesh of the kind consisting of triple twisted hexagonal meshes.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates part of reinforced wire mesh according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows part of reinforced wire mesh constituting a further embodiment of the invention, partly broken away;
  • FIG. 3 shows in isometric view a part of the apparatus for manufacturing of reinforced wire mesh according to the invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows in isometric view and in an enlarged scale attachment of a transverse wire or weft member in one of the twists.
  • FIG. 1 a part of a wire mesh consisting of conventional hexagonal meshes wherein each wire 1 is twisted at 2 with the adjacent wires 1a from the left and 1b from the right, alternatingly, while the meshes are simultaneously forwarded by being transported around a roller 3 (FIG. 3) which has hooks 4 engaging the formed meshes.
  • the wire mesh according the invention has straight transverse weft wires 5 which cross at regular increments an entire row of meshes and are fixed in the meshes by the twists 2 of the warp wires.
  • the ends of transverse wires 5 extend to a certain length, beyond the seams 6,7 of the mesh, as indicated by the reference numerals 8 and 9.
  • wire mesh When the wire mesh is to be used for production, as for example, of breastwork baskets, it is desirable to have transverse wires 5 extend at 8 and 9 beyond seams 6 and 7, respectively, an adequate distance thus joining the ends for forming side walls of the baskets.
  • the existence of these ends on the mesh itself presents appreciable time saving in manufacturing of such baskets, whereby greater uniformity and efficiency of binding of the various side walls is achieved.
  • wires 6 and 7 which are subject to tension may have a relatively small diameter and may remain soft provided that they have the desired resistance against tension; for example, wires can be used having a similar diameter or larger or smaller than the diameters of wires 1, la and lb of the meshes.
  • the wires may be treated in conventional manners for galvanizing, coating with plastic, etc.
  • each or of certain selected transverse wires 5 may be wound by an appropriate mechanism, such as at around seams 6, 7, of the wire mesh. Seam wires 6, 7, which are fixed at their ends, may be soft or stifi according to their being subject to tension or the compression, respectively, or to both.
  • rods 5 may have a diameter in the range of 2.5 to 3.0 mm; for wire meshes of 1 meter width with meshes of 80 mm, the rods may have a diameter of 5 to 6 mm.
  • the following method is preferably followed.
  • the mechanisms of forwarding and of twisting of the warp wires 1, 1a and 1b is stopped in the middle of the triple twists which belong to the corresponding row of meshes, such as at 11 in FIG. 4.
  • the transverse wire is fed between warp wires 1, 1" in The course of twisting and then the mechanism of twisting and forwarding is again set in motion as soon as the transverse wire 5 has been fed through the entire width of the mesh, and transverse wire 5 being cut at the desired length.
  • Wire mesh having seams, said mesh being constituted of hexagonal meshes formed by twisting of wires, said wire mesh comprising straight transverse wires extending at least from one of said seams to the other of said seams a re lar incre en said ransverse wires being me in e twistso sat wires orming said meshes, said twists having an axis disposed angularly with respect to the axes of said transverse wires fixed in said twists, said twists comprising said wires twisted about said twist axis in continuous uniform angular rotation for the full lengths of said twists when viewed from one end of said transverse wires, said angular rotation being in one direction for the full lengths of said twists.
  • Wire mesh according to claim 1 and at least a part of said transverse wires having ends, said ends extending beyond at least one of said scams.
  • Wire mesh according to claim 1 and at least a part of said transverse wires having means for attaching the former by binding them on at least one of said seams.
  • Wire mesh according to claim 1 and at least a part of said transverse wires consisting of soft wires disposed for work under tension.
  • Wire mesh according to claim 1 and at least a part of said transverse wires consisting of stiff wires disposed for work under compression.
  • Wire mesh according to claim 2 and at least a part ,of said transverse wires consisting of soft wires disposed for work under tension.
  • Wire mesh according to claim 2 and at least a part of said transverse wires consisting of stiff wires disposed for work under compression.
