Abstract
A special component strand for wire fabrics, the fabric consisting of one or more of the special strands extending in spaced apart generally parallel relation, and spaced apart, generally parallel cross wires extending transversely to the special strands, each cross wire being attached to each of the special strands at its point of intersection therewith, as by piercing said special strand or by being wrapped or twisted tightly thereabout. The special strand of the present invention consists of a spring wire core having a sheath of tough but compressible material having alternating ribs and grooves formed longitudinally in the surface thereof, the ribs permitting easy indentation of the strand by a cross wire twisted thereabout, for a more secure connection, and a pair of opposite grooves thereof reducing the strand to a relatively narrow neck for easier piercing by said cross wires.
