Element comprised of a plurality of strips running in a horizontal and vertical manner, and a method for producing elements by connecting closed rings

The method for production of elements (10) by the interlinking of closed rings (28), the rings (28) being connected to form an element (10), in such a way that in each case a ring (28) alternately surrounds the rings (28) arranged at right angles to it or is led through these rings (28), in each case a front end (36) of a ring (28) being led in each case through a rear end (38) of a ring (28) arranged at right angles to it, wherein the elements in each case form closed bodies with a square base area and a front and rear end (36;

• 38) respectively projects beyond the side edge (40) of a ring (28) arranged at right angles to said end, in such a way that an eye (42) for mounting a connecting element (34) or further elements (10) is obtained.

An element (10) composed of a plurality of horizontally and vertically running strips (12 to 26) which have common intersection points, strips (12 to 26) being in each case closed rings (28), and in each case a ring (28) alternately surrounding the rings (28) arranged at right angles to it or being led through these rings(28), in each case a front end (36) of a ring (28) being led in each case through a rear end (38) of a ring (28) arranged at right angles to it, wherein the element (10) is a closed body with a square base area and a square basic element, ends (36;

• 38) projecting beyond the side edges (40) of rings (28) arranged at right angles to said ends, in such a way that eyes (42) or loops for mounting further elements or connecting elements (34) are obtained, so that the square basic elements can be joined to one another, and
• wherein said rings comprise tires, geotextiles, plastic casks or sheet-metal rings.
