mprovements in or relating to Barbed Wire Fencing and Analogous
Structures.
I, ADOLF DEICHSEL, of the Sosnowice Wire Rope Works, in Russian Poland,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:.
a
The ordinary wire fabric netting or gauze, as well as barbed wire
stretched in rows, have the defect that they can be climed over, as
the meshes of the fabric can be easily gripped, and hence serves actually as
ladder. This defect is also to be found in barbed wire fences, and even when
the barbed wire is set closely there is still sufficient room between the barbs to
grip the wire, whereupon the fence can be readily climbed over. The barbed wire
fabric forming the object of this invention remedies the above defects, and pro-
vides absolute security as a means of fencing, and in order that my said invention
may be particularly described and ascertained reference is hereby made to the
accompanying drawings. In Figures 1 and 2 is shewn a wire fabric of bent or
twisted wire provide with spirally coiled barbs or plain wire coils. The form of
the meshes may be rectangular, circular semi-circular or otherwise, and the barbs
may be made (instead of wire) of sheet metal, Hat iron hoops or bars or of any
other material, or glass, and the like, or they may be drawn out of the wire. In
each separate mesh, several barbs or points may be arranged at different and suit-
able positions.
In Figure 3 is shown a barbed wire fabric with soldered barbs. The same is
prepared as follows:-Any suitable wire fabric, or any fabric made of wire rods
or wire bars is immersed in a zinc, tin, or other metallic bath and being left in
the bath, before the metal has deposited on the surface of the fabric, the latter
is brought into contact with previously prepared barbs or points, the latter being
made of wire, sheet metal, metal bars or other metal, of glass or the like, and
being so treated that they can be forthwith soldered on to the fabric. Instead
of the fabric, other objects which may be required to be provided with barbs
may be similarly treated by the above described process.
The wire or other fabric, or other article may be also provided with previously
prepared barbs or points by means of any adhesive substance such as lacquer, so
as to cause the same to adhere, to any suitable object or article, and after the
adhesive substance or lacquer is set these barbs will be found to adhere very
strongly thereto.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:--
1. In barbed wire fencing and analogous structures as aforesaid the application
and use of barbed wire arranged in a net-like form, the meshes of which may be
of any form or configuration, upon which iron barbs are spirally are spirally
coiled, the barbs being made of wire, sheet metal, bar iron, or other suitable

page_text: material, or cut out from the body of the wire, substantially as described and
illustrated by the drawings.
2. In barbed wire fencing and analagous structures as aforesaid the application
and use of barbs made of any suitable material and soldered or lacquered to the
wire substantially as described.
