page_text: I JOHN CLAYTON MEWBURN, of 169 Fleet Street, in the City of London, Fellow of
the Institute of Patent Agents do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The improved metallic fencing which forms the subjeci of this invention is composed
of vertical iron or other metal laths of bent or curved form in section and of one or
more longitudinal iron or steel bands through which the laths are passed the bands
having for this purpose two longitudinal slits at each place where a lath has to come
and being also bent or curved at each such place to correspond with the sectional
form of the lath. The lath is threaded through the slits of the band so that the part
of the band which is between the slits comes at the one side of the lath and
the parts which are above and below the slits come at the other side of the lath.
The number of bands through which the laths are passed will depend upon the
height of fencing required and upon the space desired to be left between the bands;
in like manner the number of laths will depend upon the space desired to be left
between them.
Fencing constructed as above described can be rolled up for transport or
stowage.

France, Engineer.
1, JOHN CLAYTON MEWBURN of 169 Fleet Street in the City of London, Fellow of
the Institute of Patent Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the samo is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
The improvod metallic fencing which forms the subject of this invention is composed
of vertical iron or other metal laths of bent or curved form in section, and of one or
more longitudinal iron or steel bands through which the laths are passed, the bands
having for this purpose two longitudinal slits at each place where a lath has to come,
and being also bent or curved at each such place to correspond with the sectional
form of the lath. The lath is threaded through the slits of the band so that the part
of the band which is between the slits comes at the one side of the lath and the parts
which are above and below the slits come at the other side of the lath.
The invention will be understood on reference to the annexed drawings, Figure 1
of which is a face view and Figure 2 a section on the line y of Figure 1 of a
portion of a vertical lath and of a longitudinal band. 7 is the vertical lath; it is of 1
bent or curved form in section as clearly seen in Figure 2. is the longitudinal
band which is made with two longitudinal slits at the place where the lath has
to be threaded through. The band is bent or curved at this part as shown and
the lath is threaded or passed through the slits so that the part of the band
which is between the slits comes at the one side of the lath and the parts a a
which are above and below the slits come at the other side as the figures show.
The number of bands through which the laths are passed will depend upon the
height of fencing required, and upon the space desired to be left between the bands;
the laths need not all be of the same length.
Fencing constructed as above described can be rolled up for transport or
stowage.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention as communicated to me and in what manner the same is to be performed
I declare that what I claim is :-
The improved metallic fencing hereinbefore described.
