BARBED WIRE OF INCREASED TEAR RESISTANCE

摘要

In the mounting of barbed wire as on fence posts it frequently happens that the wire is broken in the tensioning. This tensioning is generally done with a mechanical device. The difficulty is due to the fact that the wire has a very low extensibility prior to breaking. Methods of shaping the wire during manufacture are disclosed; by such shaping the extensibility is increased and the likelihood of breaking during the mounting process is decreased or eliminated.
