CLIVER W. STACY, OF STE. GENEVIEVE, MISSO'URI, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALE T0 DANIEL P. LANE, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
FASCINE MAT.
Application filed. October 5, 1920.
To all whom 'it may camera:
Be it known that I, Onrvnn lJV. S'rAoY, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Ste. Genevieve, county of Ste. Genevieve, and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Fascine Mat, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to fascine mats.
An object of the invention is to provide an improved fascine mat which can be easlly and economically constructed and which does not require the weight to cause the mat to sink to position that is required by the lumber or willow mattresses.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved mat that will function as a filter to catch and retain sedirnent and which will sink to position by its own weight and without the necessity of using additional weights such as stones to cause the mat to sink.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved mat capable of use for channel work, connecting work, shore work and as a curtain.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved mat of the character nientioned possessing the qualities of fiexibllity so that it will fit and adjust itself to proper position conforming to the shape of the river bottom or other position to which the mat may be applied.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved mat of the character mentioned including woven wire tubes held in proper arrangement and filled with straw or the like.
There are other objects which will appear from the following description in which reference is made to the drawing, and in which- Figure 1 is a plan view illustrating features of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is an end view enlarged relative to Fi ig. 3 is a view showing the construction of one of the tubes.
Fig. ll is a cross sectional view of a tube taken on the line 4 4z of Fig. 3.
As shown, the mat is composed of numerous tubes made up of woven wire rolled into tubes of the desired dimensions as to length and diameter. The tubes are placed together end to end and side by side in the Specification of Letters Eatent.
Patented Mar. 15, 1921.
Serial No. 414,743.
mapner shown in Fig. l, so as to form the ma Before being placed together in the form of a mat the tubes ar'e preferably filled with straw. The tubes may be filled with the straw in any desired manner as by an appropriate blower which will break the straw and force it into the tubes in a felted and mlatted condition. After the tubes are filled with straw they are sewed together in sets, each set consisting of a suitable number of tubes, three being shown in the drawings.
As shown the tubes 1, which are filled with straw, are laid and arranged as above mentioned and the ends of the longitudinally alined tubes are connected together by fasteners 2. The series of tubes are placed upon cables 3 which are attached to piling and the sets of tubes are fastened to the cables by wires 5 passing over the tubes and under and around the cables in the manner shown in Fig. 2, so that it is impossible for the tubes to become detached from the cables.
A frame work above the mat is provided comprising series of poles 6 laid transversely of the tubes and spliced together; and poles 7 laid transversely of the poles 6 and spliced together and also attached to the poles 6. A similar frame work is provided for the bottom of the mat comprising poles 8 extending tra-nsversely of the tubes and spliced together; and poles 9 laid transversely of the poles 8 and being spliced together and in connection with the poles 8. Fasteners 10 are used to secure the upper and lower frames together.
From the foregoing it will be seen that my improved mat serves all of its intended purposes. The mat can be constructed at any place and is an advantage in that willows from which mats have been heretofore usually constructed are not always available, and lumber which has been used in the place of willows is very expensive. My improved mat therefore ossesses advantages which are obvious. it has superior advantages for use in all places where such mats have heretofore been used.
I do not restrict myself to unessential features or limitations, but what I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A mat of the Character described, comprising tubes composed of woven wire,
