Modular wire partition

Abstract

A modular wire partition is disclosed for separating an interior space from an exterior space. The partition comprises at least two laterally spaced vertical posts defining a gap therebetween. Each post has an inner surface facing the interior space, an outer surface facing the exterior space, and a side surface facing the gap. A wire mesh panel is configured and dimensioned to span the gap. The panel is attached to the inner post surfaces and comprises a parallel array of horizontal wires joined to an intersecting parallel array of vertical wires, with the vertical wires having intermediate sections projecting from adjacent horizontal wires. The intermediate sections are aligned horizontally to define a channel shaped reinforcing rib.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
