page_text: I ALFRED SCHUNCK. of No. 92 Motz Strasse Berlin, Germany do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
My invention relates to an improved structure of wire work, suitable for receptacles
baskets, flower stands and the like capable of being made to assume a variety of shapes,
which I will describe with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The structure is composed of a number of wire bars S bent into semicircular or
loop form and provided with eyes a a at the ends, each pair of such loops being made,
by bending their eyes in a suitable manner as shewn, to form a ring with the four eyes
in line with each other, so that a wire hoop R can be passed through them. By thus
stringing any desired number of such loops upon a hoop of any desired size and with
the several loops overlapping each other, a structure is formed in which the loops
may either be made to form a cylindrical surface, or the loop on one side of the hoop
may be made to assume any desired angle with those on the other side. Two or more
of these annular structures may then be united together by binding wire or clamps V,
and according as the loops are left straight or are bent outwards or inwards
they may be made to assume either a cylindrical conical, basket or other open
form or a spherical or other desired closed form, suitable for a great variety of
purposes.

I, ALFRED SCHUNCK, of No. 92 Motz Strasse, Berlin, Germany, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved structure of wire work, suitable for receptacles,
baskets, flower stands, and the like capable of being made to assume a variety of
shapes which I will describe with reference to the drawings accompanying my
Provisional Specification.
The structure is composed of a number of wire bars S bent into semicircular or
loop form and provided with eyes a a at the ends, each pair of such loops being made
by bending their eyes in a suitable manner as shewn, to form a ring with the four
eyes in line with each other so that a wire hoop R can be passed through them. By
thus stringing any desired number of such loops upon a hoop of any desired
size and with the several loops overlapping each other a structure is formed in
which the loops may either be made to form a cylindrical surface, or the loop on
one side of the hoop may be made to assume any desired angle with those on the
other side.
Two or more of these annular structures may then be united together by binding
wire or clamps V and according as the loops are left straight or are bent outwards or
inwards they may be made to assume either a cylindrical, conical, basket or other
open form or a spherical or other desired closed form, suitable for a great variety
of purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
:-
A structure of wire work suitable for receptacles, baskets, flower stands, and the
like, wherein pairs of wire loops S with eyes at their ends are strung on to hoops R,
two or more of such combined hoops and loops being connected together by clamps V,
to form a structure of any desired configuration by causing the loops on one side
of the hoops to assume any desired angle relatively to the hoops on the other side of
the hoop, substantially as herein described.
