Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fencing system.
  • the invention has particular application to the setting and tensioning of an electric fencing system.
  • Portable electric fencing is an important aspect of livestock and pasture management. It is usually used in animal containment to ensure that livestock do not graze in an undesired area or to set up temporary enclosures for animals to prevent the animals from extensive roaming.
  • a farmer By controlling the extent of pasture being grazed by livestock, a farmer is able to sustainably manage pasture growth to ensure a year round supply of food for livestock.
  • a portable electric fence consists of three key components; a conductive wire, an energiser, and one or more fence posts to carry the wire.
  • the most important component is the electric wire which carries the electric current. An animal or person coming into contact with the wire will receive an electric shock.
  • the electric current is provided by an energiser.
  • Energisers are sources of power for electric fencing.
  • a portable electric fence a farmer will usually use a portable energiser, although a portable electric fence can also be powered via an adjacent permanent electric fence.
  • the electric wire must be supported along its length by one or more fence posts to ensure that the wire is at a height which forms an effective barrier to the animals being enclosed or excluded.
  • a number of fence posts may be required for a portable electric fence, depending on the length of the electric fence.
  • a portable electric fence enclosing an area of 25 m 2 requires 100 m of electric wire, which must be supported by fence posts at least every 10 m or 15 m or so to ensure that the electric wire is suspended at a height that is sufficient to act as a physical barrier and a visual deterrent to enclosed livestock.
  • this represents a significant amount of fencing paraphernalia which is required to be transported by a farmer. This is particularly the case in areas where vehicle access may be restricted or inappropriate, for example, when a temporary fence has to be established on sloping terrain.
  • Kiwitech's product consists of poly wire fencing reels carried on a frame. This frame is configured to also carry fencing standards in a horizontal orientation.
  • a farmer In use, a farmer carries the frame in one hand while using the other hand to collect, orientate and insert the fencing standard into the ground. As the farmer moves along the proposed fencing line, the reels automatically dispense the poly wire. The farmer hooks the dispensed poly wire to the fencing standards as each standard is set up, thus creating the portable electric fence.
  • Kiwitech's product is difficult to use for a number of reasons.
  • the fencing standards are laid atop one another, and can become easily entangled. It can be difficult when using only one hand to disentangle these fencing standards.
  • Entangled wire can form knots, thus affecting the reel's ability to dispense or retrieve the wire in the future.
  • Some fencing reels include guides for the wire. Often, knotted fencing wire cannot pass easily through these guides, making it particularly important to avoid the formation of knots in fencing wire if possible.
  • knotted or entangled wire typically takes up more space on the fencing reel when wound in. This can affect the carrying capacity of the fencing wire.
  • a tensioner for a fencing wire reel which includes
  • the tensioner housing for the tensioning member and the tensioning member are configured such that when fencing wire passes through the housing in one direction, the tensioning member applies a first biasing force against the wire, and when fencing wire passes through the housing in the opposite direction, the tensioning member applies a second biasing force against the wire, the second biasing force being less then the first biasing force.
  • a portable fence system for constructing a fence which includes
  • At least one fencing wire reel at least one fencing wire reel
  • a reel housing for the at least one fencing wire reel
  • the reel housing includes a tensioner substantially as described above.
  • a portable fence system for constructing a fence should be understood to mean a fencing system which integrates the fencing post and the fencing wire to be strung between the fence posts into a single carrying unit, and which may be used to construct a fence.
  • the main fence post is configured with a carrying handle.
  • the main fence post is configured with a storage housing for storing additional fencing posts.
  • a main fence post should be understood to mean any elongate member configured with means to support or otherwise attach fencing wire to the fence post, and shall be referred to as such throughout the remainder of this specification.
  • the main fence post may be, for example, a length of timber or a length of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • a main fence post according to the present invention is a plastics material extrusion formed from injection or rotational moulding.
  • the plastics material may be a mixture of plastics and glass filled nylon for durability, but persons skilled in the art will appreciate that other durable plastics material such as PVC or PET may be used.
  • the main fence post is a length of tubing.
  • the tubing may be of any material, but is preferably constructed from a lightweight metal alloy, such as aluminium for its strength and durability, or a fibreglass pultrusion or other polymer material. However, persons skilled in the art will appreciate that other materials may be used as appropriate.
  • the additional fence posts should be understood to mean an elongate member configured to temporarily or permanently retain fencing wire.
  • the secondary fence post may be a length of timber, PVC, or fibreglass pultrusion, but preferably is a fencing standard, and shall be referred to as such throughout the remainder of this specification.
  • the fencing standard may be manufactured from material such as a metal alloy or fibreglass, but preferably is made from injection or rotational moulded plastics material.
  • the plastics material may be PVC, PET or glass filled nylon. Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that other forms of plastic may be used.
  • the fencing standards may be configured with retainers for the fencing wire to be carried by the fence post.
  • the retainers are configured such that fencing wire can pass through the retainers without being hindered.
  • the retainers may include pigtails or hooks which prevents the wire from coming away from the standard.
  • the retainers may be manufactured from any material, but preferably are manufactured from a plastics material, such as PVC, polyethylene, or glass filled nylon. These materials are ideal for use in conventional injection or rotational moulding techniques.
  • the retainers are integrated into the fencing standard as a one piece moulding on glass filled nylon or some similarly resilient material.
  • the main fence post may be configured with a ground engaging member.
  • This may be a base or foot, but preferably, the ground engaging member is a spike, and shall be referred to as such throughout the remainder of this specification.
  • a spike is preferred as it is easy to insert into the ground, and enables the fence post to stand upright.
  • the main fence post is configured to carry at least one fencing wire reel.
  • a fencing wire reel should be understood to mean any storage apparatus configured to have fencing wire wound about its outer surfaces, and shall be referred to as such throughout the remainder of this specification.
  • the main fence post carries a fencing wire reel for each horizontal strand of the fence.
  • the fence post will carry three individual fencing reels.
  • the fencing reels may be mounted on an axle to permit rotation of the reel as the wire is dispensed or collected.
  • each fencing reel is provided with an adjustable slip clutch to assist in placing tension on the fencing reel as it is dispensed and/or retrieved.
  • the slip clutch allows the reels to rotate at different rates to allow for wire coming into at different rates. This helps to prevent or minimise tangling of the wires.
  • the slip clutch includes a spring which ensures that a minimum amount of tension is applied to the slip clutch. This helps to avoid overrunning of the reels as the wire is dispensed.
  • the main fence post may be configured to include a reel housing for a fencing wire reel such that at least a portion of the fencing reel is covered.
  • the fencing reels may simply be hung upon an axle integrated into the fence post, with the stored fencing wire exposed.
  • the reel housing for the fencing wire reel may be secured to the main fence post via a mounting.
  • the configuration of the mounting is such that it serves as the carrying handle for the fence post.
  • the reel housing and mounting is integrated into the main fence post as a single moulding for ease of construction and assembly.
  • a suitably durable and robust plastics material such as polyethylene, PVC, polycarbonate is used for constructing the fencing housing and main fence post. This is preferred in the event that the fence post is to be used with electrical fencing wire. Non-conductive materials will also ensure that the mounting will be electrically isolated from any potential electric current in the electrical fencing wire.
  • plastics material is their suitability for use in conventional injection or rotational moulding techniques.
  • the reel housing includes a tensioner.
  • a tensioner should be understood to mean an apparatus which places tension upon a filamentary member.
  • the filamentary member is fencing wire.
  • the present invention is not limited to use with fencing wire.
  • String or rope used for other purposes may be used with the present invention.
  • builders may use the present invention with building string to mark out lines as required.
  • Another use for the present invention may be to cordon off an area.
  • the tensioner is integrated into the outer housing of a fencing wire reel.
  • the tensioner need not be integrated into the housing of a fencing wire reel, and may be placed else on the apparatus.
  • the tensioner may be located on the main fence post, forward of the fencing reel housing.
  • the tensioner housing is separate to the fencing reel housing. This allows the tensioner housing to be replaced if necessary due to wear and tear.
  • the tensioner housing may be considered to be part of the outer housing of a fencing reel rather than a separate body.
  • the tensioner housing may be manufactured from any suitable material, but preferably is a plastic such as PVC, polyethylene, or glass filled nylon. These materials are preferred as they can be cheaply manufactured using conventional rotational or injection moulding techniques.
  • the tensioner housing is configured with an aperture passing through the housing. Through this aperture, wire held on the fencing reel passes through the housing of the tensioner as it is dispensed or collected.
  • the tensioner housing may be configured with a biasing surface.
  • the biasing surface of the tensioner housing forms at least a portion of a side of the aperture through which fencing wire passes when being dispensed or collected.
  • the biasing surface of the tensioner housing forms one side of the aperture.
  • the biasing surface of the tensioner housing is simply that of the outer housing for the fencing reel.
  • biasing surfaces are the surfaces of the tensioner which may contact the fencing wire when in use.
  • the tensioning member may be manufactured from any suitable material, but preferably is a plastic such as PVC, polyethylene, or glass filled nylon. These materials are preferred as they can be cheaply manufactured using conventional rotational or injection moulding techniques.
  • the tensioning member may be configured with a head at one end of the member, and a hinge at the opposing end of the member. Extending between the head and hinge of the tensioning member is a shaft.
  • the head of the tensioning member may be configured to slideably move along the shaft towards or away from the hinge.
  • the tensioning member may be configured with a biasing surface.
  • the head of the tensioning member is configured with a biasing surface complementary to the biasing surface of the tensioner housing, although persons skilled in the art will appreciate that the entire tensioning member may be configured to be complementary to the biasing surface of the tensioner housing.
  • the head of the tensioning member forms at least a portion of a side of the aperture through which fencing wire passes when being dispensed or collected. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the head forms one side of the aperture.
  • the aperture is formed on one side by the head of the tensioning member and on the opposing side by the biasing surface of the tensioner housing.
  • the tensioner may be provided with two tensioning members, arranged such that the head of each member faces each other. Between the two heads is the aperture through which fencing wire passes. It will therefore be appreciated that each head provides a biasing surface which may contact the fencing wire as it passes through the tensioner.
  • a biasing means is configured to act upon the tensioning member.
  • the biasing means is biased against the head of the tensioning member and at its opposing end biases against the hinge of the tensioner housing.
  • the biasing means may be biased against the head of the tensioning member and an intermediate portion of the tensioning member such as a protrusion or plate arising from the shaft of the tensioning member.
  • the biasing means is an expansion spring or coil, and shall be referred to as such throughout the remainder of this specification.
  • the biasing force may also be derived from an elastomer bung or similar means.
  • the spring urges the head of the tensioning member away from the hinge of the tensioner housing, and thus encourages the head of the tensioning against the biasing surface of the tensioner housing. If temporarily displaced, for example when knotted wire (the knot being larger than the aperture between the head of the tensioning member and the biasing surface of the tensioner housing) passes through the housing thus pivoting the tensioning member via its hinge, the spring urges the tensioning member back into place.
  • the hinge of the tensioning member may be configured to fit into a recess in the tensioner housing.
  • the recess is moulded into the tensioner housing.
  • the hinge of the tensioning member is configured to fit into a recess in the outer housing of the fencing reel.
  • the biasing surface opposing the head of the tensioner is actually a suitably configured portion of the outer housing of the fencing reel.
  • the hinge may be an axle member passing through the tensioning member into a channel integrated into the tensioner housing to permit rotation.
  • the axle member may be a metal rod or similar elongate member readily adapted by a person skilled in the art for this purpose.
  • the hinge of the tensioning member is a peg located into a recess on the tensioner housing.
  • the peg may be snap-locked or others placed in moulded hooks or other suitably configured recesses.
  • the preferred hinging mechanism is thus easily manufactured and quickly assembled.
  • the configuration of the tensioning member and the biasing surface of the tensioner housing are such that the tensioning member can only pivot about the hinge in one direction. This is particularly advantageous as it ensures that different amounts of tension may be applied to the fencing wire depending on its direction of travel.
  • the fencing wire In use, when fencing wire passes through the tensioner housing in one direction, the fencing wire is biased against the biasing surface of the tensioner housing by the head of the tensioning member.
  • the frictional contact between the wire as it passes through the housing and the biasing surfaces of the tensioning housing and the head of the tensioning member ensures that tension is applied to the wire as it is collected. This keeps the otherwise slack wires taut, and is more likely to allow the retrieved wire to wind correctly onto the reel. The wire is also much less likely to become entangled in the reel housing.
  • any knots in the wire will cause the head of the tensioning member to move along the shaft of the tensioner.
  • the spring of the tensioner ensures that some biasing force continues to be applied to wire so that it remains tense. Once the knot has passed, the spring biases against the head of the tensioning member to return it to its previous position.
  • the tensioning member is therefore applying a reduced tension to the dispensed wire.
  • the tensioning member is able to continuously apply a degree of tension to wire, regardless of whether the wire is being collected or dispensed, even when knotted wire passes through the tensioner.
  • tension on wires at any one point along the wire can vary for a number of reasons, including walking speed of the person collecting or dispensing the wire, the position of the wire, and how many reels of wire is being carried.
  • the present invention ensures a consistent tension is applied to the wire as it is wound on the fencing reel (or reels for a multi-wire fence system). This makes it easy a person to dispense and collect wire as no consideration is required for walking speed, ensuring each wire is tensioned independently of the degree of slack in the wire.
  • the main fence post is configured with a storage housing for the fencing standards.
  • a storage housing should be understood to mean any housing adapted for the storage of fencing standards.
  • the storage housing extends laterally from the lower portion of the main fence post.
  • a portion of the storage housing may act as a foot step to assist in inserting the spike of the main fence post into the ground.
  • the storage housing may include apertures complementary to the ground engaging portion of the fencing standards, such that the lower portion of the fencing standard engages with the storage housing.
  • the base may be provided with clips into which the fencing standard base may be inserted.
  • the storage housing may be manufactured from any material, but preferably is manufactured from a plastics material, such as PVC or polyethylene, as these materials are ideal for use in conventional injection or rotational moulding techniques.
  • a bracket may extend laterally from the upper portion of the main fence post in the same plane as the storage housing.
  • the bracket may include clips, apertures, or recesses complementary to the profile of the upper portion of the fencing standard.
  • the bracket supports the upper portion of the fencing standards carried by the main fence post, providing additional support for the fencing standards during transportation.
  • the bracket may be manufactured from any material, but preferably is manufactured from a plastics material, such as PVC, polyethylene, glass filled nylon or polycarbonate as these materials are ideal for use in conventional injection or rotational moulding techniques.
