Aprfl 12, 1938. c. 'A. PHIPPS FENCE CONNECTING MEANS Filed March 29, 1937 Patented Apr. 12, 1938 TA E S iii iii'h "ram" rice Claims.
An object of my invention is to provide a fence connecting means of simple, durable and inexpensive construction.
A further object is to provide means for connecting two sections of a fence together, my con necting means being especially adaptable for slat fences, and particularly desirable: for use in connection with snow fences.
Still a further object is to provide a connecting 10 means which is readily operable to connect or disconnect the ends of two sections of fence relative to each other, the connecting means being thereby a matter of convenience for the purpose of connecting snow fence sections together when the fence is erected in thefall and for quickly disconnecting them when it is taken down in the spring.
Still a further object is to provide hooks of a predetermined. shape which are so associated with the adjacent ends of two sections of a fence that three of them can be used, and adjacent ones arranged to contact with opposite sides of the end slats of the fence in such manner that two of them can be loosely placed in position, and when the third one is placed in position, the ends of the fence are effectively connected against any accidental disconnection, the connecting means, however, permitting ready disassociation of the fence ends when one of the connecting hooks is removed.
With these and other objects in View, my invention consists in the construction, arrangement and combination of the various parts of the device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained, as hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a fence connecting hook embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a front elevation of a fence showing how three of the hooks of Figure 1 are associated therewith to connect two sections of the fence together.
Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 2 showing the upper hook removed and the end slats of the fence adjusted to a position where the lower two hooks will readily drop off the fence.
Figure 4 is an enlarged plan View of the end slats of two: adjacent fence sections showing my fastening means associated therewith; and
Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 55 of Figure 4.
On the accompanying drawing I have. used the reference character H to indicate generally a hook which is of predetermined shape, and pro vides a means for connecting fence sections together. The hook H has a pair of body portions ii] and it which are preferably offset relative to each other and connected by a diagonal connect- 5 ing part F2.
The ends of the body portions i 0 and i 9' terminate in hooks M and M respectively. These hooks extend in directions opposite the direction of the offset of their adjacent body portions, and 10 open in the same direction as the direction of the offset. The hook I4 is preferably closed more than the hook it, as best shown in Figure 5, and the hook M may have its terminal end somewhat lengthened to provide better connection with the 15 tie wire of a fence.
In Figures 2, 3 and 4 a pair of fence sections F and F are illustrated, the end slats of which are indicated at it and it. The slats are tied together in the usual manner by tie wires i8. The 20 hooks H are associated with the slats l6 and I6 as shown in Figures 2 and 4.
Referring to Figure 4, it will be noted that the body portion it) engages one side of the slat l6, while the. body portion It engages the opposite 25 side of the slat it. This is true of all three of the hooks H, H and H".
The hook I-I it will be noted is turned over relative to the hook H so that the body portion [0 thereof extends around opposite sides of the slat 3 it relative to the body portion it of the hook H. Likewise the body portions ill and it! of the hook I-I coincide with those of the hook H and are reversed relative to those of the hook H.
In order to hook the hook H on the fence, the 35 hook portion i4 thereof is first hooked over the tie wire at the right of Figure 4. This hook being more closed than the hook M will engage at the twist of the tie wire as shown in the right half of Figure 5. The slats it and Hi and the hook H 40 are then manipulated relative to each other so that the body portions ill and Ill extend around opposite sides of the slats I6 and i6, and thereafter the tie wire at the left of Figure 4 is swung from the dotted line position to the full line posi- 45 tion within the hook it. The fastener H is now in its final position and holds the slats I 6 and I6 against any possible movement out of alinement with each other.
When the fence sections are to be disconnected 50 after the hook H is removed, the slats i6 and Hi can be spread as shown in Figure 3, which loosens the hooks H and H, so that they will either fall off or can be readily taken off. Likewise in the connecting of the fence sections together, the 55 with each other and then the hook I-I placed in position.
Connection of the fence sections together by my fastener is thus accomplished in a minimum of time, and eliminates the undesirable expedient now in general use of wiring the fence sections together. Such wires are usually left in the field which is objected to by the farmer, and are usable but once. Hooks of the character disclosed, however, can be used many times, and save both time and expense, and are therefore a great convenience.
Some changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of the parts of my device without departing from the real spirit and purpose of my invention, and it is my intention to cover by my claims any modified forms of structure or use. of mechanical equivalents which may be reasonably included within their scope.
I claim as my invention:
