Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for fixing fencing material to a fence post.
  • Fencing material is commonly fixed to fence posts using clamping means in the form of bent metal wire ends, which are pinched round the post by means of pincers.
  • the bent metal wire ends can however not be used several times, as a metal wire end breaks after having been bent a number of times. Furthermore, it is rather time-consuming to work with such wire ends. Also, these wire ends are sharp and may consequently inflict bodily harm to people or animals if they get caught on such pinched metal wire ends. One may also get injured taking off the clamped metal wire ends in order to remove the fencing.
  • EP-0 367 313 discloses clamping means in the form of an elastically de- formable cylindrical body with a longitudinal slot-shaped recess for gripping around a bulge of the fencing post.
  • the clamping means comprises at least a horizontal wire recess for taking up and clamping at least a horizontal wire of the fencing material to the fence post.
  • this clamping means is elastically deformable, it can be fitted and removed many times and when properly carried out it cannot inflict bodily harm.
  • the clamping means In order to ensure good fixing conditions, the clamping means must exert quite a strong pressure on the bulge of the post when fitted. Special crimping tools are hence necessary for opening the longitudinal slot-shaped recess of the clamping means far enough so that it fits over the bulge of the fence post. The removal of the clamping means from the fencing post is particularly difficult, even with the help of tools, as the access to the longitudinal slot-shaped recess is restricted.
  • the object of the present invention is hence to provide an improved system for fixing fencing material to a fence post, wherein the fencing material is easy to mount and dismount.
  • the present inven- tion provides a system for fixing fencing material to a fence post comprising a fence post with an axial groove aligned along an outer wall thereof.
  • the axial groove has an inner cavity and a neck portion leading from the outer wall to the inner cavity, wherein the inner cavity is wider than the neck portion, so that the axial groove comprises a recess where inner cavity and neck portion meet.
  • the system further comprises at least one fixing device comprising a head portion and two fastening claws.
  • the fastening claws are elastically deformable and comprise, at their end portions, a catch for engaging by snap-fit behind the recess in the axial groove.
  • the fixing device further comprises at least one slot for receiving at least one wire of the fencing material.
  • the slot for receiving a wire of the fencing material is arranged in the fastening claws of the fixing device, the slot extending from the end portions of the fastening claws to an area where the wire received in the slot is in the vicinity of an opening formed in the outer wall by the axial groove when the fixing device is received in the axial groove.
  • the wire is received in the slot before the fixing device is pushed into the axial groove. Once the fixing device is engaged in the axial groove, it pushes the wire against the outer wall of the fence post.
  • This slot is particularly advantageous for fixing a horizontal wire to the fence post.
  • the slot for receiving a wire of the fencing material is arranged in the head portion of the fixing device, the slot extending laterally from one side of the head portion to a central area thereof, in which the wire received in the slot is in the vicinity of an opening formed in the outer wall by the axial groove when the fixing device is received in the axial groove.
  • a wire is introduced into the slot from the side of the fixing device before the fixing device is pushed into the axial groove. Once the fixing device is engaged in the axial groove, it pushes the wire against the outer wall of the fence post.
  • This slot allows for some play in the location of the wire with respect to the fence post. Even if the wire is slightly off-centre, it can still be received in the slot and fixed to the fence post.
  • This slot is particularly advantageous for fixing a vertical wire to the fence post, as a vertical wire will not always be aligned with the axial groove of the fence post. If the vertical wire is slightly off-centre in one direction, it can still be fixed to the fence post. If the vertical wire is slightly off-centre in the other direction, the fixing device is turned by 180°, so that the vertical wire can still be fixed to the fence post.
  • the fixing device can also comprise a first and a second slot for receiving a first and a second wire of the fencing material.
  • the first and the second slots can be arranged in the fastening claws of the fixing device and extend from an end portion of the claws to an area where the first and the second wires received in the first and the second slots are in the vicinity of an opening formed in the outer wall by the axial groove when the fixing device is received in the axial groove.
  • the first and the second slots are preferably at an angle which substantially corresponds to the angle between the first and the second wires.
  • the fixing device can now be used to fix a cross-over point of two wires of the fencing material to the fence post. A horizontal and a vertical wire can e.g. be received in the first resp.
  • the fixing device with two slots is particularly advantageous for fixing an end of the fencing material to a first fence post.
  • the fixing device comprises a first and a second slot for receiving a first and a second wire of the fencing material.
  • the first slot is arranged in the fastening claws of the fixing device and extends from the end portions of the fastening claws to an area where the first wire received in the first slot is in the vicinity of an opening formed in the outer wall by the axial groove when the fixing device is received in the axial groove.
  • the second slot is arranged in the head portion of the fixing device and extends laterally from one side of the head portion to a central area thereof, in which the second wire received in the second slot is in the vicinity of an opening formed in the outer wall by the axial groove when the fixing device is received in the axial groove.
  • the first and the second slots are preferably at an angle which substantially corresponds to the angle between the first and the second wires.
  • This fixing device allows to tightly fix the first wire to the fence post but to give the second wire some play.
  • the horizontal wire of the fencing material is preferably received in the first slot arranged in the fastening claws, whereas the vertical wire is received in the second slot arranged in the head portion of the fixing device. The horizontal wire is then tightly fixed to the fence post. If the vertical wire is in the vicinity of the axial groove of the fence post, it can be received in the second slot of the fixing device and fixed to the fence post.
  • the fastening claws are advantageously tapered towards the end portion of the fastening claws so as to facilitate the introduction of the fixing device into the axial groove.
  • the neck portion of the axial groove can also be tapered towards the inner cavity, thereby further facilitating the introduction of the fixing device into the axial groove.
  • the fence post preferably has circular cross-section and can be flattened in the vicinity of the opening created in the outer wall by the axial groove. This allows for the fencing material to be fixed to the fence posts in a straight line. Indeed, as the fencing material is fixed to the fence posts, it is not bent at its fixing point. In particular, if the fence post is used as a corner post, the fencing material can be smoothly curved around the corner, so that there is no sudden kink.
  • the head portion of the fixing device can have a rounded top surface, thereby giving the outer wall of the fence post and the head portion of the fixing device a continuous appearance when the fixing device is engaged in the axial groove.
  • the fixing device is preferably formed in one piece. Production costs and time of the fixing device can hence be reduced.
  • the system further comprises a supplementary fixing device which has a head, a shaft and fixing means.
  • the head engages behind the recess in the axial groove of the fence post.
  • the shaft has first and second ends, the first end being connected to the head and the second end protruding from the axial groove when the supplementary fixing device is received in the axial groove.
  • the shaft further has at least one longitudinal slot therethrough for receiving at least one wire of the fencing material; the at least one longitudinal slot extends from the second end of the shaft to an area where the at least one wire received in the at least one longitudinal slot is in the vicinity of an opening formed in the fence post by the axial groove when the supplementary fixing device is received in the axial groove.
  • the fixing means is received on the second end of the shaft for clamping the at least one wire received in the at least one longitudinal slot between the fence post and the fixing means.
  • the supplementary fixing device is introduced into the axial groove through an opening at the top end of the fence post.
  • the head of the supplementary fixing device slides down the axial groove.
  • the shaft protrudes from the axial groove.
  • One or more wires of the fencing material can be introduced in the one or more longitudinal slots arranged in the shaft. Once the wires are in place, the fixing means are used to clamp the wires between the fence post and the fixing means.
  • the supplementary fixing device allows for an easy and secure fixing of fencing material to a fence post.
  • the supplementary fixing means in the axial groove, it is possible to adjust the alignment of the longitudinal slots arranged in the shaft. This is e.g. of great advantage in case the fence is to be erected on sloped terrain.
  • the slot for receiving a horizontal wire of the fencing material can then be aligned so as to be parallel to the terrain on which the fence is erected, thereby causing the fence to follow the slope of the terrain.
