METAL WIRE SPACER FOR USE IN THE BUNDLING OF NESTED STACKS OF METAL PIECES

摘要

METAL WIRE SPACER FOR USE IN THE BUNDLING OF NESTED STACKS OF METAL PIECES A preformed wire spacer for spacing nested formed galvanized metal material pieces having a nestable profile and wherein at least two stacks of the nested material pieces are disposed and secured in side-by-side relationship to form a bundle. The spacer comprises a metal wire treated with a corrosive resistant coating and formed of similar profile as the cross-section of at least part of the profile of two of the material pieces when positioned in side-by-side relationship. The spacer has a cross section to provide reduced contact with the surface of opposed nested ones of the pieces when positioned therebetween whereby to provide air flow and minimum water retention between the nested material pieces to substantially reduce the formation of white rust.
