WIRE FABRIC.
Applicatibit' filed September 1', 1921'. Strialli'o. 497 ,7 31;
T 0 all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, J OHN \VIL'LIAM TAY- LOR, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Pendleton, Manchester. England, have invented new and useful Improvements in or Relating toNVire Fabrics, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to wire fabrics for fencing, reinforcingconcrete, or the like, of the kind in which the meshes are formed by a number of longitudinal wires and a succession of transverse binders engaging the former, and has for its object to provide a transverse binder of improved construction and consequently an improved fabric.
According to the invention, and in producing and fixing the improved transverse binders, lengths of wire are arranged on opposite sides of the longitudinal wires and those on one side arranged parallel with and facing those on the other side.
helically upon each other, and across each longitudinal wire, the coiling or twisting to right and left of each longitudinal wire being in opposite directions.
In one example of the invention, the improved binders each consist of a single length of wire folded upon itself, its arms being of even length and adapted to form the transverse wire on opposite sides of the longitudinal wires. In another example, the improved binders each consist of two wires of equal length, one being arranged on one side and the other 011 the opposite side of the longitudinal wires. In a further example, the improved binders each consist of a single wire and a series of short wires, the short wires being on the opposite side of the longitudinal wires, and intertwisted with the single wire.
Upon the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 illustrates a face or side view, and
Fig. 2 shows a cross-section of wire fabric, the transverse wires or binders of which are made and applied according to one example of the invention;
Figs. 3, 4: and 5 illustrate different examples of wires of which each binder may be made;
Fig. 6 illustrates the wires shown in Fig.
binder wires are then coiled or twisted.
4cas they appear when applied tooppo's'ite sides of the longitudinal wires and prior to coiling or twisting;
Fig.7 illustrates a modification hereinafter described Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate cross-sections of I fabric, in which the binder shown in Fig; 3is used in two different ways; and
Fig. 10 illustrates a cross-sectionof wire fabric in which the binder wires shown in Fig. 5 are used.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, a, a are the longitudinal wires and b, b the binders. In the example shown, the binders eiich consist of two wires, see Fig. 4, arranged on opposite sides of the longitudinal wires, and twisted helically together, the two wires being gripped by suitable tongues between the wires a, a and twisted one or more turns,
the twisting'between any two adjacent longitudinal wires a, a being in one direction, while the twisting between thenext two adjacent. longitudinal wires is in the reverse direction.
In thus twisting the binder wires, the same tightly grip all the longitudinal wires and fix themselves thereto, while holding the longitudinal wires at the desired distance apart. The twisting of the binder wires, after being applied to the longitudinal wires, allows of the latter being of any length and of the fabric being made continuously. Instead of using two separate binder wires, a single binder wire folded upon itself, and arranged with its arms on either side of the fabric may be'used, see Figs. 3, 8, and 9.
In Fig. 8 the bend of the wire extends beyond the outermost wire a and the twist is applied to such projecting portion, while in Fig. 9 the bend lies against the said outer-- The ends of the binder wires are.
most wire. twisted together in like manner to the ends of the wires shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
As shown in Fig. 7 the binder wires may be slightly kinked at the points requiring to lie against the longitudinal rods and thus help in positioning such wires prior to twisting.
In Fig. 10 a single wire 6 and a series of short Wires 6 are employed, the short wires extending from and to points mid:
way between the longitudinal rods and being intertwisted with the single long Wire across and to right and left of each longitudinal wire.
In Figs. 1 and 2, 8 and 10 the binder Wires are twisted across and to the right and left of the outer longitudinal wires and the said binder wires extend beyond the said outer longitudinal wires and form spurs or tags. In the case of binder wires applied as shown in Figure 9, each alternate binder will be arranged the reverse of the next binder so that the twisted ends or tags will lie along both edges of the fabric. In all cases, the longitudinal wires are straight and lie parallel with each other in the same plane, whereby their full strength under tension is obtainable.
The number of longitudinal wires or rods and binders will vary according to the width, strength, or mesh of fabric required.
A fabric provided with the improved binders affords considerable practical advantages especially in connection with the reinforcement of concrete.
l/Vhat I claim is A wire fabric composed of straight lon gitudina-l wires in one plane and a plurality of successive transverse wire binders at right angles thereto, said binders being each composed of a single length of wire and a series of short lengths of Wire, the single length being arranged on one side of all the longitudinal wires and the short lengths arranged on the opposite side, and said long wire and short wires being twisted together in opposite directions across and to right and left of each longitudinal wire, those portions of the binder wires extending beyond the outer longitudinal wires forming spurs or tags, substantially as herein set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
JOHN WILLIAM TAYLOR.
