Abstract: At least three longitudinally extending wire rods are disposed in parallel arrangement. Web means are disposed between adjacent ones of the longitudinally extending wire rods, the web means being formed of wire. In cross-section, the bar forms a continuous configuration. Longitudinally extending wire rods and the web means form between them the truss-like wire structure. A hook arrangement is disposed at each end of the truss-like wire structure for engaging a respective one of the opposed bar engagement walls.
