1, ROBERT RAMSAY MAIN, of Clydesdale Iron Works, Possilpark, Glasgow,
in the County of Lanark, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide wire fencing in which increased
strength may be obtained without requiring to add to the weight of the wires, these
wires or some of them being strung more or less at an inclination or diagonally
from standard, to standard instead of being parallel throughout and being bound
together by droppers secured to them.
In erecting wire fencing under my invention several of the wires at the upper
part of the fence may be stretched in parallel lines as usual but the lower part,
which it is desirable should be kept close and made, strong to resist the passage of
sheep and lambs and to withstand the weight of any one climbing the fence, is
composed of a series of wires which may be generally grouped in pairs of wires
crossing or meeting diagonally between the standards alternating with single
straight wires the whole being bound together by a dropper or two or more
droppers between the standards. The diagonally crossing wires may be several
inches apart at the standards and either meet or cross midway between them, or
they may, cross or meet each other at intermediate points or they may be close
together at the standards and midway between the standards the wires may be,
separated more or less where they are bound to the dropper.
Or again the crossing wires may be interlaced or any two or more parallel wires
may be caught at their midlength and twisted around each other and prevented
from untwisting by the passage through them of a dropper or of the clip cr
fastening used for securing the dropper to the wires.
The wires may be arranged to cross or meet between each pair of standards or
they may cross between one pair and be continued as parallel wires between the
adjoining pair of standards and the crossing or diagonal arrangements of wires may
be combined in various ways with single or multiple horizontal, wires.
In each case the resistance due to the use of diagonally crossing wires bound
together or interlaced in pairs is supplemented and enhanced by connecting the
several pairs of diagonal wires and the single or multiple horizontal wires, when
such are used, by droppers which serve to brace or bind together the whole.

Improvements in Wire Fencing.
1, ROBERT RAMSAY MAIN, of Clydesdale Iron Works, Possilpark, Glasgow,
0 in the County of Lanark, Engineer, 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 :-
This invention has for its object to provide wire fencing in which increased

page_text: strength may be obtained without requiring to add to the weight of the wires,
these wires or some of them being strung more or less at an inclination or diagonally
from standard to standard instead of being parallel throughout and being bound
together by droppers secured to them.
The invention is illustrated under several modifications by Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of
the accompanying drawings.
In erecting wire fencing under my invention as shewn at Figs. 1, 3 and 4, several
of the wires A at the upper part of the fence may be stretched in parallel lines as
usual or when it is desired one or more of the upper rails may be strengthened by
crossing a couple of wires as shewn at Fig. 2. The lower part, which it is always
desirable should be kept close and made strong to resist the passage of sheep and
lamb's and to withstand the weight of any person climbing the fence, is composed
of a series of wires B which may be generally grouped in pairs crossing or meeting
diagonally between the standards C alternating with single straight wires A the
whole being bound together by a dropper D or two or more droppers between the
standards C. The diagonally crossing wires B may be several inches apart at
the standards C and droppers D and either meet or cross midway between them as
shewn at Fig. 1, or they may cross or meet each other at intermediate points or
they may be close together at the standards C as shewn at Fig. 2 and midway
between the standards C the wires B may be separated more or less where they
are bound to the dropper D.
Or again the crossing wires B may be interlaced as shewn at Fig. 3 or any two
or more parallel wires may be caught at their midlength and twisted around each
other and prevented from untwisting by the passage through them of a dropper D
or of the clip or fastening used for securing the dropper D to the wires.
The wires B may be arranged to cross or meet between each pair of standards C
or they may cross between one pair and be continued as parallel wires between
the adjoining pair of standards C as shewn at Fig. 4 and the crossing or diagonal
arrangements of wires may be combined in various ways with single or multiple
horizontal wires.
In each case the resistance due to the use of diagonally crossing wires bound
together or interlaced in pairs is supplemented and enhanced by connecting the
several pairs of diagonal wires and the single or multiple horizontal wires, when
such are used, by droppers which serve to brace or bind together the whole.
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
In wire fencing the arrangement of the wires or some of them in pairs meeting,
crossing or interlaced between the standards and bound together by droppers
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
