I, ALFONS MAUSER, of 95, Tübingerstrasse, Stuttgart, in the Empire of Germany,
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:-.
l
This, invention has for its object an improved kind of spiked band intended for
fencing and like purposes and for lattice work and other suitable building pur-
poses such as ornaments in architecture and is made in the 'following manner:
Sheet metal strips having semi-circular or like shaped notches stamped out are
intertwined with one another or laid one on another in such a way that the pro-
jections or points between two adjacent semi-circular notches of the one sheet
metal strip and the similar projections or points of the other metal strip are
directed towards opposite sides. In any case the applicant prefers not to com-
bine directly with one another two such metal strips, but to use an intermediate
sheet metal strip provided with circular apertures. The strips thus apertured
and put together are then firmly connected with, one, another by rivets, clamps,
overlapping edges or in other suitable inanner and form when finished a
product which replaces the well known barbed wire for fencing in its simpler
forms of construction but may also be employed for forming spiked netting or
other network or lattice work.
Various forms of construction of the improved spiked band are shown in the
accompanying drawings in Figures 1-10.
In the form of construction shown in Figure 1 two simple sheet metal strips b
provided with blunt points or projections c are intertwined with one another
and fastened together by means of rivets d.
The form shown in Figure 2 differs from the preceding only by intermediate
spaces being left between the two sheet metal strips b.
Figure 3 shows a similar band to the forms of construction previously described
but having double points c¹.
Figure 4 shows the two bands 6 of sheet metal simply laid one on the other
and rivetted together.
Figure 5 shows two sheet metal strips 6 of the kind hereinbefore described
interlaced with a sheet metal strip a provided with circular apertures or stampings
out and rivetted to the same.
Figure 6 resembles the foregoing, only here the sheet metal strips 6 are not
interlaced with the strip a but merely laid thereon and rivetted thereto.
Figure 7 shows a spiked band of the kind shown in Figure 1, but in this
case the two strips of sheet metal are held together by slots or notches if being
stamped out of the one strip of metal and tongues e being stamped out of the
other, which tongues when the strips are intertwined are inserted in the slots or
hotches f and afterwards bent round.
In the form of construction shown in Figure 8 the slots are not formed on the
edge but in the central parts of the strip 6 and are indicated in the drawing by ƒ³,

page_text: The tongues e engage through the slots f* in the manner described in the previous
figure.
In the form of construction shown in Figure 9-two strips 6 of sheet metal are
laid on one strip a and connected with one another in the manner shown in
Figure 8.
Finally in the form of construction shown in Figure 10 the two strips b are
held together by clips g'placed around them.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-.
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is:
1. A spiked band for forming fencing and lattice work as well as for other
suitable building purposes, such as ornaments in architecture, consisting of two
or more partially overlapping toothed strips of sheet metal which are connected
with one another by means of tongues (e), rivets, clips or in other suitable manner
in such a way that the points or teeth of the one strip are turned to one side
and those of the other strip to the opposite side, substantially as hereinbefore
described.
2. A spiked band, consisting of two sheet metal strips (b) provided with teeth
or points, intertwined with one another and connected by means of rivets, tongues,
clips or in other suitable manner, substantially as hereinbefore described.
3. A spiked band consisting of sheet metal strips (b) provided with teeth or
points connected by means of rivets, tongues or clips, with an intermediate sheet
metal strip (a) provided with circular apertures or stampings out substantially
as hereinbefore described.
