COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Plaited or Basket-work for use as a Building
Material, also in the Construction of Baskets, Hurdles, Retaining
Walls, Revetments, and the like, and for other Articles and
Purposes.
I, JOSEF GEORG KARG, of II Thugutstrasse 2, Vienna, in the Empire of Austria,
R.R Director, 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 relates to a plaited web or texture (of the nature of wicker-work
or matting), made in the form of rectangular or trapezoid, flat or curved com-
partments (panels or leaves), and fitted with hinge-loops on the two sides in-
tended to be placed opposite each other (or in juxtaposition) and to be pivotally
joined together, with a view to their employment as building material, in the
construction of hurdles, retaining walls (or revetments, fences or cases for the
protection of the trunks of trees, baskets (or cages) and like articles.
The
Figures 1 to 4 of the accompanying drawings represent (specimens of) hinged
work produced in accordance with this invention. It is obtained by plaiting
cane (or rushes), creeping plants, the stems of the grape-vine, twisted cord, twigs
of brushwood, rods, bands or laths in any desired (or suitable) manner.
strip or band a thus produced, the width of which is optional, is, in the course
of the plaiting operation, provided with loops a¹ at both its side edges; such
Icops preferably alternating (rebate or "break-joint" fashion), and being ar-
ranged either singly (Figure 1), doubly (Figure 2), or in the shape of multiple
(or compound) loops (Figure 3).
The desired number of such plaited pieces or leaves are jointed together (in
the manner illustrated in Figure 4 by means of stakes, rods or tubes 6 which are
passed through the adjoining hinge-loops a¹ and may serve at the same time for
fixing the plaited work to the ground. By such means, hurdles or revetments pre-
senting any desirable polygonal or circular outline, when viewed in plan, also
baskets or the like, may be constructed; all of which articles will afford the
advantage that they may at any time be built up or erected with ease, and may
with equal facility be taken to pieces and put together again whenever required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
my said
I claim is:-
-
1. As building material, plaited work such as a suitable for the construction
of hurdles, retaining walls, or for the manufacture of baskets or like articles of
any desired outline in plan; the individual pieces of such plaited work being
fitted on the two sides facing each other (respectively) with hinge-loops such
as a¹, each of which may consist of one two or more twigs, cords, bands, or laths
bent to the shape of loops; any two adjoining plaited panels or leaves being thus

as b, into their joint hinge-loops.
2. Hurdles, retaining walls or revetments, baskets or the like made of the
plaited work mentioned in the 1st claim.
