FENCE POST INSULATOR FOR ELECTRIFIABLE PLASTIC COATED WIRE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This application claims priority from US patent application 14/835,012 filed
August 2015, the entire content of which is incorporated by reference.
Field of the Invention
This disclosure relates generally to insulator clips and, more particularly, to fence post
insulators for electrifiable plastic coated wire.
Description of Related Art
Current fence post insulators used today are configured to support an electrifiable or
conducting material for electric fences. The insulators are typically secured to a fence post or
structure using screws, nails, staples, and other fastening members. To secure the insulators to
the fence post or structure, an individual is required to hold both the insulator and the fastening
element to attach the insulator to the fence post or structure. Since the individual must use both
hands to align separate elements, this can often be a difficult and lengthy process for an
individual who needs to install a large quantity of insulators around an enclosed area. It also
becomes difficult to run the electrifiable wire through the insulator after the insulator has been
installed on the fence post or structure. To ease the installation of the electrifiable wire into the
insulator, current insulators include an open aperture that permits the electrifiable wire to be
inserted therein using an interference fit. Typically, the aperture remains open on the insulator
permitting the electrifiable wire to be inadvertently pulled out of the insulator. In the event an
object, such as a fenced-in animal, contacts the electrifiable wire or fence post, the electrifiable
wire may be pulled out of the open aperture of the insulator.
U.S. Patent No. 6,489,569 to Thomson, the disclosure of which is incorporated in its
entirety by reference, discloses a typical fence post insulator. The insulator is fastened to a fence
post or structure using a plurality of nails. After the insulator has been installed, an electrifiable
wire is pressed into the open aperture of the insulator past an interference fit to hold the
electrifiable wire in the insulator. After installation of the wire, however, the aperture remains
open. The aperture is not closed to retain the electrifiable wire in the insulator. Therefore, the
electrifiable wire is capable of becoming loose and falling out of the insulator.

Many current electric fence insulators are designed and manufactured for semi-
permanent installations. These insulators are lightweight to reduce the cost of manufacturing and
rely on the psychological barrier of an electrified barrier to keep an animal in an enclosed area.
Typically, an electrifiable twine (polywire) or even lightweight steel wire is used in the
insulators and can create a maintenance issue that requires daily inspections and repairs.
In recent years, a new electrifiable plastic coated fence wire has become widely used in
the equine market worldwide because of its safety factor to animals and reduced likelihood of
entanglement. Therefore, this long-lasting, permanent fencing material requires a rugged,
functional, and uniquely designed insulator to match the permanency of the material the insulator
holds. In view of the foregoing, a need exists for a fence post insulator that is easily attached to
an electrifiable wire and to a fence post or structure. A further need exists for a fence post
insulator that effectively and securely retains an electrifiable wire within the insulator.
In this specification where reference has been made to patent specifications, other
external documents, or other sources of information, this is generally for the purpose of
providing a context for discussing the features of the invention. Unless specifically stated
otherwise, reference to such external documents is not to be construed as an admission that such
documents, or such sources of information, in any jurisdiction, are prior art, or form part of the
common general knowledge in the art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, and generally, a fence post insulator for electrifiable plastic coated wire is
provided to address and/or overcome some or all of the deficiencies and drawbacks associated
with existing fence post insulators. Additionally or alternatively, the fence post insulator can
provide the public with a useful choice.
In a first aspect, an insulator for holding an electrifiable wire may include a base, a first
connecting portion provided on a first end of the base, and a second connecting portion provided
on a second end of the base. The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion may
be movable between a first, open position and a second, closed position so that, upon providing
pressure on at least one of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, the
first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are snapped together to retain the
electrifiable wire within the insulator.

The term “comprising” as used in this specification and claims means “consisting at
least in part of”. When interpreting statements in this specification and claims which include the
term “comprising”, other features besides the features prefaced by this term in each statement
can also be present. Related terms such as “comprise” and “comprised” are to be interpreted in a
similar manner.
The first connecting portion may include a substantially C-shaped end. The second
connecting portion may include a substantially C-shaped end. The base may be made of a
flexible material. The base may be movable from an arcuate first position to a substantially
planar second position. A first aperture may be defined in the first connecting portion. A second
aperture may be defined in the second connecting portion. The first aperture may include a first
seat surface. The second aperture may include a second seat surface. The base may be
substantially circular. The insulator may be formed as a monolithic unit.
In a second aspect, a method of retaining an electrifiable wire in an insulator may
include inserting an electrifiable wire into an aperture defined by a first connecting portion and a
second connecting portion of the insulator, and applying pressure to at least one of the first
connecting portion and the second connecting portion to snap the first connecting portion and the
second connecting portion towards one another to close the aperture. The method may also
include pressing one of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion against a
base of the insulator to cause the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion to
rotate towards one another. The method may also include gripping the first connecting portion
and the second connecting portion to manually rotate the first connecting portion and the second
connecting portion towards one another.
These and other features and characteristics of the fence post insulator, as well as the
method of installing the fence post insulator, will become more apparent upon consideration of
the following description and the appended claims with reference to the accompanying drawings,
all of which form a part of this specification, wherein like reference numerals designate
corresponding parts in the various figures. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the
drawings are for the purpose of illustration and description only and are not intended as a
definition of the limits of the invention. As used in the specification and the claims, the singular
form of “a”, “an”, and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
For purposes of the description hereinafter, the terms “upper”, “lower”, “right”, “left”,
“vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “lateral”, and “longitudinal”, and derivatives thereof
shall relate to the invention as it is oriented in the drawing figures. However, it is to be
understood that the invention may assume alternative variations and step sequences, except
where expressly specified to the contrary. It is also to be understood that the specific devices and
processes illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification, are
simply exemplary aspects of the invention. Hence, specific dimensions and other physical
characteristics related to the aspects disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting.
The present disclosure is directed to, in general, a fence post insulator for electrifiable
wire and a method of installing electrifiable wire into the fence post insulator. Certain preferred
and non-limiting aspects of the components of the fence post insulator are illustrated in FIGS. 1-
8. Although the following description describes the fence post insulator in use with a fence post,
it is also to be understood that the insulator may be used on alternative materials such as wood,
steel, piping, plastic, or composite posts.
With reference to FIGS. 1-8, a fence post insulator 2 (hereinafter referred to as
“insulator 2”) is described. The insulator 2 includes a base 4 (also referred to as a spark guard), a
first connecting portion 6, and a second connecting portion 8. The base 4, first connecting
portion 6, and second connecting portion 8 may be formed and manufactured as a single,
monolithic structure or assembled as separate individual components that are welded, fastened,
or adhesively connected to one another. In one aspect, the base 4 may have a generally circular
Page 4 of 10
shape. The base 4 may be made of a substantially flexible material, such as plastic. Plastic
provides strength, flexibility, and acceptance of UV stabilizers for the insulator 2. Further, the
insulator 2 may be formed from plastic that is different from the plastic used to coat an
electrifiable wire 20 held in the insulator 2 to reduce friction when sliding the electrifiable wire
through the insulator 2, thereby reducing wear and tear on the insulator 2 when under tension.
As shown in in a first, open position of the insulator 2, the base 4 may be biased into a
curved position. As shown in in a second, closed position of the insulator 2, the base 4
may be snapped into a substantially straight, planar configuration. The installation and use of the
insulator 2 will be described in greater detail below.
In one aspect, the first connecting portion 6 and the second connecting portion 8 are
substantially identical to one another. It is also contemplated that the dimensions and shape of
the connecting portions 6, 8 may differ slightly from one another. The connecting portions 6, 8
are generally rectangular in shape and include a substantially C-shaped opening 10a, 10b
provided on an inner surface thereof. The openings 10a, 10b are configured to receive an
electrifiable wire 20 (shown in to hold to a fence post. In one aspect, the electrifiable
wire 20 may be a 12.5 gauge, high tensile strength wire. Current insulator clips are more light
weight and designed to hold lighter weight wire, which is easily dislodged from the fence post
upon an animal or object contacting the wire. The current insulator 2 is configured to receive and
hold a larger electrifiable wire, which is more difficult for an animal or object to dislodge from a
fence post. In the first, open position of the insulator 2, the openings 10a, 10b are positioned
apart from one another to define a passageway 11 to permit the electrifiable wire 20 to be
inserted therethrough. In the second, closed position of the insulator 2, the openings 10a, 10b
may abut one another to close the passageway 11 to prevent the electrifiable wire 20 from falling
or pulling out of the openings 10a, 10b. As shown in when the insulator 2 is in the
second closed position, the openings 10a, 10b may be configured to form a closed circular
opening. It is also contemplated that the openings 10a, 10b may not abut one another in the
second, closed position, but instead they may leave a small gap between one another. This gap
may be small enough to prevent the electrifiable wire 20 from being pulled out of the insulator 2.
However, it is preferred that the openings 10a, 10b abut one another to close the opening to
restrict moisture from contacting the electrifiable wire 20, which could become a conductor for
electrical shorting.

The connecting portions 6, 8 may also define a central aperture 12a, 12b to receive a
fastening member (not shown) to fasten the insulator 2 to a fence post. The fastening member
may be a nail, screw, bolt, staple, pin, or any other suitable fastener to hold the insulator 2 to a
fence post. In one aspect, the fastening member may be a shouldered, self-tapping attaching
screw for the fence post, which may be used on wood, steel, or plastic. The central apertures 12a,
12b may be circular in shape and extend from a front surface of each respective connecting
portion 6, 8 to a rear surface of each respective connecting portion 6, 8. In one aspect, the upper
edges of the central apertures 12a, 12b may be chamfered to assist in directing the fastening
members into the central apertures 12a, 12b. Although the central apertures 12a, 12b may not be
chamfered by providing a squared-off edge entrance and exit for the central apertures 12a, 12b,
this may result in damage to the tensioned electrifiable wire 20 through impact or contraction
and expansion. Each central aperture 12a, 12b may also include a seat 13a, 13b configured to
catch and support a head or portion of a fastening member to limit the length of the fastening
member that is inserted into the fence post. A plurality of side apertures 14a-14d may also be
defined in the connecting portions 6, 8. Two of the apertures 14a, 14d may extend into the
connecting portions 6, 8, but not so far as to extend into the central apertures 12a, 12b. Two of
the apertures 14b, 14c may extend from a first side of each respective connecting portion 6, 8
into a portion of the respective connecting portion 6, 8 closer to the center of the insulator 2, but
not so far as to extend into the opening formed by the connecting portions 6, 8. The same type of
apertures 14a-14d may also be provided on a second side of the insulator 2. The apertures 14a-
14d may be provided to reduce the material needed to manufacture and form the insulator 2. The
apertures 14b, 14c may be configured so as not to extend into the opening defined by the
connecting portions 6, 8 so that dust, cob webs, and other debris is not permitted to deposit in the
opening defined by the connecting portions 6, 8, which can cause the electrifiable wire 20 to
short out.
With reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, a method of installing one electrifiable wire 20 into
the insulator 2 and a method of fastening the insulator 2 to a fence post is described. Initially, the
insulator 2 may be formed/manufactured into a first open position (shown in . In the first,
open position, the openings 10a, 10b of the connecting portions 6, 8 are positioned apart from
one another to create the passageway 11. The individual will then insert the electrifiable wire 20
through the passageway 11 into the openings 10a, 10b. The electrifiable wire 20 may be freely
Page 6 of 10
inserted through the passageway 11 so as not to contact the sides of the openings 10a, 10b or the
openings 10a, 10b may be positioned close enough together to create an interference fit with the
electrifiable wire 20.
After the electrifiable wire 20 has been inserted into the openings 10a, 10b, the
individual may press either the first connecting portion 6 or the second connecting portion 8
against the base 4 to cause the connecting portions 6, 8 to rotate inwardly in a rotational direction
R (shown in . As the connecting portions 6, 8 are pressed, the base 4 is flattened into a
substantially straight, planar orientation to snap together the openings 10a, 10b of the connecting
portions 6, 8. The openings 10a, 10b are brought into abutment with one another to close the
electrifiable wire 20 inside of the insulator 2. When the openings 10a, 10b are brought into
abutment, the passageway 11 is closed to retain the electrifiable wire 20 in the insulator 2. After
the connecting portions 6, 8 have been rotated to retain the electrifiable wire 20 in the insulator
2, the insulator 2 may be fastened to the fence post by inserting fastening members through the
central apertures 12a, 12b of the connecting portions 6, 8. This method may be repeated for each
insulator 2 to form a fenced-in area. By retaining the electrifiable wire 20 in the insulator 2
before fastening the insulator 2 to the fence post, the individual can properly visualize the
position of and orient the insulator 2 and electrifiable wire 20 on the fence post at a desired
position. Unlike current insulators that need to be removed from the fence post to re-adjust the
position of the electrifiable wire 20 on the fence post, the insulator 2 of the present disclosure
may be properly positioned prior to fastening the insulator 2 on the fence post.
In an alternative aspect, after the electrifiable wire 20 has been inserted into the
openings 10a, 10b, the individual may instead grip both connecting portions 6, 8 and rotate the
connecting portions 6, 8 inwardly in a rotational direction R (shown in . As the
connecting portions 6, 8 are rotated, the base 4 is flattened into a substantially straight, planar
orientation to snap together the openings 10a, 10b of the connecting portions 6, 8. The openings
10a, 10b are brought into abutment with one another to close the electrifiable wire 20 inside of
the insulator 2. When the openings 10a, 10b are brought into abutment, the passageway 11 is
closed to retain the electrifiable wire 20 in the insulator 2. In a further alternative aspect, instead
of rotating the connecting portions 6, 8 by hand, the individual can position the insulator 2 on the
fence post and fasten the insulator 2 to the fence post by inserting fastening members through the
central apertures 12a, 12b. As the fastening members are inserted further into the central
Page 7 of 10
apertures 12a, 12b, the connecting portions 6, 8 are rotated in rotational direction R against the
fence post. As the connecting portions 6, 8 are rotated, the openings 10a, 10b are brought into
abutment to retain the electrifiable wire 20 in the insulator 2. Using this method, an individual
may simultaneously fasten the insulator 2 to the fence post and retain the electrifiable wire 20 in
the insulator 2. After the insulator 2 has been fastened to the fence post, a small gap may be
established between the base 4 and the fence post. In one aspect, the distance defined by the gap
between the base 4 and the fence post may be approximately 0.025 inches. By defining this small
gap, the insulator 2 may be provided on a plurality of different fence posts that may have
variable surfaces. The base 4 may also be slightly flexible to allow play in the base 4 to adapt to
the variable surfaces of the different fence posts. In one aspect, the base 4 may be angled 2
degrees relative to the fence post.
While various aspects of the insulator were provided in the foregoing description, those
skilled in the art may make modifications and alterations to these aspects without departing from
the scope and spirit of the invention. For example, it is to be understood that this disclosure
contemplates that, to the extent possible, one or more features of any aspect may be combined
with one or more features of any other aspect. Accordingly, the foregoing description is intended
to be illustrative rather than restrictive. The invention described hereinabove is defined by the
appended claims and all changes to the invention that fall within the meaning and the range of
equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
