This Invention relates to wire netting which may be employed for fencing, torpedo
nets, sieves, as a protection for glass, and for various other purposes.
Heretofore, wire netting has been made of long pieces of wire suitably woven or
twisted, and it has therefore been necessary to manufacture the netting in pieces
of fixed form and dimensions, and the removal or transportation of it in large pieces
is inconvenient on account of its bulk
The object of the said Invention is to overcome these defects and I accomplish
this by making the netting of a number of pieces of wire so constructed that they
can be easily attached to or detached from one another. These pieces of wire are
provided at their extremities with elongated eyes, and the central portion is curved
in the form of a segment of a circle; the wire on both sides of the centre is bent
so that each piece will constitute part of a mesh of the netting, which is made in
the following manner, that is to say, one of the elongated eyes of one piece of wire
is passed through one of the eyes of another piece until the central portion of the
first piece rests within the elongated eye of the second piece, through the other eye_
of the second piece is then passed a third piece and so on until the netting thus
constructed is of the desired size and shape, the edges of the netting are then
secured in any suitable manner.
It is obvious that these pieces of wire may be made of any suitable shape and
dimensions according to the purpose for which the netting is required.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN
A com-
munication to me from abroad by Friedrich Hentze, of Voerde, in the Empire of
Germany,
This invention relates to wire netting which may be employed for fencing,
torpedo nets, sieves, as a protection for glass, and for various purposes for which the
ordinary wire netting is not sufficiently strong and durable.
:
Heretofore, wire netting has been made by weaving or twisting together long
pieces of wire, and it has, therefore, been necessary to manufacture the netting in
pieces of fixed form and dimensions, and to employ wire of such diameter that
it could be easily bent or twisted; and netting of this kind has, consequently, proved.
unsuitable where considerable strength and durability are required. Moreover, the
removal or transport of the netting in large pieces has been found inconvenient on
account of its bulk.
The object of the present invention is to obviate these inconveniences, and for
this purpose
I make the netting of a number of pieces of wire so formed that they
can be easily attached to, or detached from, one another. I provide for the attach-
ment and detachment of the pieces of wire by making each piece with an elongated
eye at each of its extremities and with a central loop in the form of a segment of
a circle; the wire, on both sides of the said loop, being bent so that each piece will
constitute part of a mesh of the netting.
The said invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which―
Figure 1 is a side elevation of one of the said pieces of wire, and
Figure 2 is a front elevation of the same.
Figures 3, 4 and 5 represent various forms of the said pieces of wire and the
manner in which the said pieces are connected to form the netting..
Figure 6 illustrates the mode of attaching one of the said pieces to another, and-
Figure 7 is a front elevation representing a piece of netting, constructed according
to the said invention, and arranged within a suitable frame.
Like letters indicate the same parts throughout the drawing.
a represents one of the pieces of wire; b, 6¹ the elongated eyes at its extremities;
and c the central loop.
The pieces of wire are attached to one another in the following manner to form
the netting, that is to say; one of the elongated eyes for example the eye b, of one
piece of wire is passed through the eye b' of a second piece, as shewn in Figure 6,
until the central loop c of the first piece rests within the said eye b¹; one eye of a
third piece of wire is then passed through the eye b of the second piece until the
loop of this third piece rests within the said eye of the second piece; the eye 6¹ of
the third piece then coincides with the eye b of the first piece, as seen in Figure 3,
so that one eye of a fourth piece can be passed through both of these eyes; and so
on until the netting thus constructed is of the desired size and shape. The edges of
the netting are then secured in any suitable manner.
It is obvious that these pieces of wire may be made of any suitable shape and
dimensions according to the purpose for which the netting is required, and that the
wire employed in the construction of netting as above described, can be much thicker
and stronger than that ordinarily employed, as it does not require to be woven or
twisted.

page_text: Having thus fully described the said invention as communicated to me by my
foreign Correspondent, and the manner of performing the same I wish it understood
that I claim.
First. Wire netting consisting of a number of pieces of wire so formed that they
can be easily attached to, or detached from, one another, substantially as above set
forth.
Second. A piece of wire bent to form part of a mesh of netting and having an
elongated eye at each of its extremities, and a central loop, substantially as, and
for the purpose, set forth.
In witness whereof I the said Daniel Peres have hereunto set my hand and
seal this Fifteenth day of January in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and eighty three.
