Abstract
Abstract A wire support structure, one of the continuous repeating patterns of which includes, spot welded together, three parallel sets of two wires, the two wires in each such set being interconnected by a wire configured into a continuous series of V shapes, the V patterns on successive sets being alternately disposed in opposite directions. Opposite wires of successive parallel sets are interconnected at the open ends of the V shapes by wires also configured into a continuous series of V shapes. Finally, another set of V configured wires are fastened onto the faces of the structure adjacent the points at which the wire interconnecting opposite wires of adjacent sets of two wires are attached.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
A wire structure comprising: three parallel sets of two parallel wires; a set of three wires each interconnecting the two parallel wires of a respective one of said three parallel sets and forming therebetween a continuous series of generally ''''V'''' shaped patterns alternately oppositely oriented among said three parallel sets; a set of two wires, disposed in parallel planes perpendicular to the two parallel wires of said three parallel sets, each interconnecting in a continuous ''''V'''' shaped pattern one wire of each of said set of two parallel wires opposite the connection thereto of said set of three wires, each alternately oppositely oriented; and a set of four wires, each interconnecting in a generally ''''V'''' shaped pattern one of the two parallel wires of said three parallel sets adjacent the connection of said set of two wires thereto the patterns of adjacent and opposing wires of the four wires being generally oppositely oriented.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words
A wire structure comprising: three parallel sets of two parallel wires; a set of three wires each interconnecting the two parallel wires of a respective one of said three parallel sets and forming therebetween a continuous series of generally ''''V'''' shaped patterns alternately oppositely oriented among said three parallel sets; a set of two wires, disposed in parallel planes perpendicular to the two parallel wires of said three parallel sets, each interconnecting in a continuous ''''V'''' shaped pattern one wire of each of said set of two parallel wires opposite the connection thereto of said set of three wires, each alternately oppositely oriented; and a set of four wires, each interconnecting in a generally ''''V'''' shaped pattern one of the two parallel wires of said three parallel sets adjacent the connection of said set of two wires thereto the patterns of adjacent and opposing wires of the four wires being generally oppositely oriented.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words

Claim 12
Dependent Claim
99 words
A wire structure comprising: two parallel sets of three parallel wires; a first set of three wires, each interconnecting two outside wires of one parallel set with an inside wire of the other parallel set, alternately oppositely disposed; a set of four wires, each interconnecting three connections of said first set of three wires within one of said parallel sets in a generally ''''V'''' shaped pattern; and a second set of three wires each interconnecting two wires occupying a same respective position in said two parallel sets at points intermediate the connections of said first set of three wires.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
99 words
A wire structure comprising: two parallel sets of three parallel wires; a first set of three wires, each interconnecting two outside wires of one parallel set with an inside wire of the other parallel set, alternately oppositely disposed; a set of four wires, each interconnecting three connections of said first set of three wires within one of said parallel sets in a generally ''''V'''' shaped pattern; and a second set of three wires each interconnecting two wires occupying a same respective position in said two parallel sets at points intermediate the connections of said first set of three wires.
