Abstract: The intrusion warning wire fence comprises at least one tubular wire (1, 101), preferably made of metal or of plastics material, glass-fibre reinforced resin, or the like, having the same appearance and, at least apparently, the same mechanical barrier function as the normal wires, or as other normal wires possibly included in the same fence, and loosely containing one or more electrical and/or optical conductors (2), preferably optical fibres, connected to a warning system responsive to any breakage or variation of the conduction capability of said conductors (2). At least one tubular wire (1) containing one or more electrical and/or optical conductors (2) is weakened by means of notches or grooves (3, 4, 5) and/or it is made like a barbed wire (101) by fitting thereon pointed or cutting members (6, 106; 7).

Abstract: This invention relates to an intrusion warning wire fence secured to spaced supporting poles. The fence comprises one or more electrical and/or optical conductors, preferably optical fibers, which may be either (1) incorporated within one or more tubular wires of said wire fence and/or (2) associated exteriorly with one or more wires of said fence, and/or (3) arranged freely in the fence, and which are connected to an intrusion warning system capable of emitting a warning and/or alarm signal in case of breakage or reduction of the conduction capability of at least one of said conductors. According to the invention, in order to prevent anyone from stepping over or scaling the fence, the fence is extended upwards beyond the upper ends of the supporting poles. This and this upper unsupported portion of the fence will be either distorted (bent, flexed) and/or broken, at least locally, if anyone tries to scale the fence.

Abstract: The intrusion warning wire-lattice presents the outer appearance of a normal wire fence, and it has also the same mechanical resistance, but it comprises tubular wires which contain electrical and/or optical conductors connected to a warning system which is responsive to any variation of the capability of conduction of the conductors. The wire lattice comprises a serpentine coil made of tubular wire presenting rectilinear vertical lengths which are connected together by intersecting horizontal wires, among which there are also tubular wires. The fence sections are assembled between hollow box-type posts, at the interior of which there terminate the ends of the tubular wire and there is effected, by means of connectors, the connection between the conductors of each fence section.
