Description.

Denominations.

Ropecutter (wire cutter) for electric poly wire preferably for horse pads.

Poly wire is a plastic wire with woven metal wire which makes it conductive so it can be used as an electric fence.

Scope of production.

This creation relates to a Ropecutter for use in animal folds, so that serious damage to horses, for example, is avoided when trying to break out of the fold.

The ropecutter is equipped with 2 pivotal knife holders, which are secured against unintentional activation by means of stop knobs, whose holding force at a given load is overcome and the poly wire is cut.

The ropecutter is mounted on a fence post and the poly thread is pulled through the ropecutter. Prior art.

None. Electric fences are today clamped between a number of fence posts.

The technical problem to be solved.

With the current mounting method of poly-fencing and other types of electric fence, it has been shown that the breaking strength of poly wire is high, that serious damage can be done to eg horses trying to break out of a fold. These injuries can be so serious that the animal may must be killed.

With the creation, which is new, the damage that is possible is desired. can occur on animals reduced to a minimum and without the serious consequences as previously described.

The new technique.

What is new in the production is that a defined load of the fence, caused by, for example, a horse running into the fence, overcomes the force on the stop lugs, so that the knife holder swings and cuts the poly wire over, after which the animal can freely run out of the fold. without incurring any damages.

When setting up the fence, where the poly wire is clamped, securing pins are used.

The poly wire can then run freely through the Ropecutter without cutting it. The securing pins are removed after tightening the poly wire.

When the poly thread is drawn on both sides of the Ropecutter, the knife holder is not released.

By using the new Ropecutter, the fence can be easily re-established.

List of Figures.

Figure 1. Shows in a section how the poly wire is mounted through the Ropecutter.

Claims (1)

-2- DK 95 00286 U3 Embodiment Examples. Figure 5 shows the mounting covers (1), which consist of 2 identical covers made preferably of injection molded plastic. These are joined by means of 4 hooks, 2 on each cover and 2 screw holes designed for mounting on fence posts. Figure 1 shows the knife holder (2) in which the knife (3) is mounted. In the knife is a groove corresponding to a bead in the knife holder, which ensures correct mounting and at the same time ensures that the knife cannot fall out of the knife holder. Figure 2 shows the securing pin (4). Use Model Requirements. Ropecutter for animal folds fenced with poly wire consisting of 2 covers, 2 knife holders and 2 securing pins, which is new in that there is no similar product on the market.
