  • insulators for electric wires or fences known in which the screw for mounting within a Post, for example a wooden post, firmly integrated in the plastic part is.
  • the screw is in the manufacturing process of the insulator in this cast in and thus forms an integral part of the isolator.
  • This configuration has the disadvantage that when the Isolators because it destroyed, for example, or from the weather too very bad, the isolator and its mounting part, the screw, must be replaced. That means significant additional Cost because the screw is normally not affected and therefore could actually remain in place.
  • DE-3730400-A1 is a housing with slots for in and Unscrewing pasture fence insulators has become known.
  • the hook-shaped Electric fence insulator has a threaded bolt, which one Has screw thread and at the other end bent in a U-shape Insulator head carries; the insulator head is fixed to the threaded bolt connected.
  • the housing is used to screw the insulator into a Post pushed onto the insulator head and turned; after that it will Housing removed.
  • a pasture fence insulator has become known from EP-0307350-A2 which is a threaded hook for wood or steel in an insulating plastic holder inserted and screwed in by turning through the isolator can be.
