Complete Specification Left, 10th Mar., 1892-Accepted, 16th Apr., 1892
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Wire Guards or Screens.
We, ARNOLD JENKINS and BRAHAM MAURICE GABRIEL of 57 Red Lion
Street, Clerkenwell in the City of London, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
--
Our invention relates to certain improvements in the construction of wire guards
or screens whereby each individual wire or member becomes securely fixed
immediately it is placed in position, and the whole guard or screen rigidly locked
without the use of any outer frame or its equivalent.
It consists in forming a series of indents or notches (of such shape that they
lock the wire together at right angles and thus obtain the required rigidity) at
given intervals, corresponding to the mesh required, throughout the entire length
of each distinct wire or rod.
These indents or notches being alternately raised or sunk in succession so as to
permit the wires or rods to grip and interlock each other when placed in position.
The wires or rods may be of any desired section, but we prefer to use wire
having a square or flat section.
Guards or screens constructed according to our invention offer a much greater
resistance to a lateral pressure than those hitherto in use.
Dated this 10th day of June 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Construction of Wire Guards or Screens.
We, ARNOLD JENKINS and BRAHAM MAURICE GABRIEL of 57 Red Lion
Street. Clerkenwell in the City of London Manufacturers, 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:-
Our invention relates to certain improvements in the construction of wire guards
or screens whereby each individual wire or member becomes securely fixed
immediately it is placed in position, and the whole guard or screen rigidly locked
without the use of any binding wire, outer frame or its equivalent:
It consists in forming, (as will be seen upon reference to the accompanying
drawing upon which Fig. 1. represents a plan view of a wire guard or screen
constructed according to our invention, Fig. 2 being a side and front elevation of
a square wire or rod detached, and Fig. 3 a side view of a round wire) a series
of indents or notches A A at given intervals corresponding to the mesh required,
throughout the entire length of each distinct wire or rod B. B.
These indents or notches A. A. are alternately raised or sunk in succession
throughout the length of each wire or rod B. B. and are sunk to a depth equal to
or nearly the half section, and of corresponding section to that of the particular
wire it is intended to use.
Upon the wires B. B. being placed in position the notches A. A. fit closely
together and are held in position by the shoulders a. a. whereby they become firmly
interlocked without the aid of any binding wire or other equivalent.

page_text: The wires or rods B. B. may be of any desired section, but we prefer to use
wire having a square or flat section.
Guards or screens constructed according to our invention offer a much greater
resistance to a lateral pressure than those hitherto in use and are far more
durable. :
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:
1. In wire guards or screens the use of square or other shaped wire having a
series of indents or notches formed throughout its entire length, the said indents
or notches being provided with shoulders, and sunk to a depth corresponding to
the section of the wire to be used, substantially as described and set forth.
2. Wire guards or screens constructed combined and arranged substantially as
shewn and described in the accompanying Specification.
