Description:
Wire fastening device for poles Introduction The invention includes specially designed poles for wire fastening devices that become loose from the poles including fencing poles and electric fencing poles before the pole creases or fencing wire breaks Description of older poles-Known technique The poles that are mostly used for electric fencing are hardwood poles, but various other materials is used in traditional fencing. The hardwood poles are not practical because when they get wet they lead electricity and the electric fencing becomes useless as an electric fence. The fencing wire is fastened to the hardwood pole with a piece of wire that is fitted through a hole on the pole and the wire ends are wound around the fencing wire. There the fencing wire and the wires to fasten it to the pole will rub together so that the galvanised polish rubs off and the fencing wire and the wires to fasten it with get rusted. There is another known fastening device made of plastic. A plastic wire fastening that is fastened with a nail onto a traditional wooden pole. The fencing wire is fastened to the pole by bending 45 degrees from the direction of the fence. This method is

time consuming and in addition the fastening device breaks under pressure.

Most of the time the wire-fastening device is too tightly wound together and the winding does not unwind under great pressure that has either the effect that the hardwood pole or the fencing wire breaks.

It is nearly impossible to repair it if it breaks without a great deal of work and then mainly by replacing the pole entirely.

In a known innovation (Market WO NR. 93/20313) where parts 6,7,8 and 13 has resilience in the rift 4 and come together in the rift.

The Inventions Innovations The poles that are described here are special. They have a wire- fastening device to fasten the wire to fencing poles or other poles.

A specially designed wire fastening device that is described here and is made to fasten fencing wire to a specially made pole in electric pole or other poles. This wire fastening device saves time and is practical in use because the wire is slid through a specially made rift on the wire fastening device and then wire fastening device is thrust into a specially made hole on the pole, fencing pole with thrust of the hand with the use of special pliers to use in this work. This wire- fastening device by this invention is much easier and faster to use in installation and maintenance than other known types. The reason is that the wire-fastening device is thrust into a hole on the fencing pole with one push and the wire-fastening device becomes loose from the pole under a certain amount of pressure.

If the wire-fastening device becomes loose from the pole it is easily fastened again by pushing the device into place again. This wire- fastening device makes the job easier and more efficient because how fast it is to snap the wire-fastening device into place with one thrust.

This wire-fastening device is very practical for electric fencing and also for other types of fencing. It is possible to use the wire- fastening device for all types of fencing wire. It is possible to use the wire-fastening device for all types of poles of various sizes and material.

The wire-fastening device is especially practical for plastic poles that are light so that it is easy to transport the fencing material. It is also possible to use other types of fencing poles of poles of a different type.

It is much faster to snap the wire fastening device on plastic poles or other poles from different material than it is to hammer the traditional fittings onto the wooden poles while hooking the wire onto it.

In a known innovation (WO NR. 93/20313) parts NR. 6,7,8 and 13 have resilience and go together in the rift 4 according to the drawings with the patent.

The innovation in this invention are that this part of the wire fastening where the rift (6A mark 8) is most narrow is meant to hold so the wire fastening device sits securely fastened and rigid in the hole (9) in the fencing pole (10) and also so the wire fastening device stays in place even though it becomes loose from the pole (10) it too much pressure is on the pole (10). The slant (5) in the end of the rift (6A) is only there to make it easier to slide the wire- fastening device onto the wire. On the steering clog (3) on the wire fastening device that goes into the pole (10) are four even surfaces (4) where this component is widest and the even surfaces (4) produce

a 90 degree angel to the rift (6A) on the spot where the opening in the rift (6A mark 7) is widest. These even surfaces (4) are there to make it easier to thrust the wire fastening device into the hole (9) on the fencing pole (10) because the wire fastening device is not resilient contrary to (across) the rift (6A) and these four surfaces (4) are also there so the wire fastening device becomes loose from the fastening hole (9) in the fencing pole (10) at the right moment depending on pressure.

Brief Description of the Drawings Figure 1. Shows the wire fastening device like it would be on the fencing pole.

Figure 2. Shows the wire fastening device from the side like it sits in the pole.

Figure 3. Shows the end that fits into the fastening hole on the pole.

Figure 4. Shows the components of the fencing pole.

Further descriptioit on figure 2 and how itfftnction in the pole on figure 4 The head (1), a bond (2) that sits in the hole (9) on the fencing pole (10 and the steering clog (3) that narrows in one end and that is the end that is fitted into the pole (10 and acts as a cotter pin and thus fastens the wire fastening device when the thickest part of this steering clog (3) of the wire fastening device snaps inside the wall thickening of the fastening hole (9) in the pole (10). The rift (6A mark 6) on the head (1) on the wire fastening device is for the wire.

The middle part of the rift (6A mark 7) is the widest and furthermore the weakest link in the wire-fastening device as can be seen on figure 2. Therefore the wire fastening link has resilience and gives way under pressure that is exerted on the device (6A marked 7) under pressure and makes it possible for the wire fastening device to break free of the hole (9) in the pole (10) before the fencing wire breaks or the fencing pole (10) creases. This also makes it easy to fit the wire fastening device into the hole (9) on the pole (10) with a special set of pliers that exert pressure on the wire fastening device so that it has resilience and thus makes it possible to fit in into the hole (9). thrust onto the hole (9) in the pole (10) and likewise if to much pressure is exerted on the wire. This part of the wire-fastening device is also resilient and will become loose in the hole (9). The part of the wire fastening where the rift (6A mark 8) is most narrow is meant to hold so the wire fastening device sits securely fastened and rigid in the hole (9) in the fencing pole (10) and also so the wire fastening device stays in place even though it becomes loose from the pole (10) it too much pressure is on the pole (10). The slant (5) in the end of the rift (6A) is only there to make it easier to slide the wire-fastening device onto the wire. On the steering clog (3) on the wire fastening device that goes into the pole (10) are four even surfaces (4) where this component is widest and the even surfaces (4) produce

a 90 degree angel to the rift (6A) on the spot where the opening in the rift (6A mark 7) is widest. These even surfaces (4) are there to make it easier to thrust the wire fastening device into the hole (9) on the fencing pole (10) because the wire fastening device is not resilient contrary to (across) the rift (6A) and these four surfaces 4 are also there so the wire fastening device becomes loose from the fastening hole (9) in the fencing pole (10) at the right moment depending on pressure.
