Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The use of portable fencing is well known and finds a wide variety of security and safety applications varying from crowd control at sporting events, festivals and concerts to the provision of security at construction sites to pet enclosures and temporary livestock enclosures and routers. However, such portable fencing has a variety of drawbacks, chief among which are the lack of modularity and the difficulty of storing, handling, transporting, assembling and disassembling the same.

[0002] There is therefore a need in the art for a portable modular fencing system that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks. This need is met by the present invention. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] According to the present invention, there is provided a modular fencing system that is easily storable and transportable, and that may be quickly installed and broken down. The principle features of the fencing system include the following:

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Referring to the drawings, wherein the same numerals refer to the same elements, there is shown in FIG. 1 an exploded perspective view of the fencing system of the invention with adjacent rectilinear panels 1 secured to base 15 and secured together at the upper ends of the panels by coupling bracket 24, and at the lower portion secured to base 15 by tie-downs 25. Angle connector 23 attaches no-climb extension 18 to the top of panel 1 at an angle, preferably about 45°.

[0023] As seen in FIGS. 1-2, panel 1 comprises a tubular frame 10 preferably welded together, an optional cross brace 11, also preferably welded to frame 10 at about the mid-point of the panel, and wire mesh 12. Tubular frame 10 may be rectangular, triangular, square or round in cross-section, preferably the latter. Wire mesh 12 is preferably formed of a metal such as steel, and is preferably welded at intersections 13 of the horizontal and vertical elements of the mesh, as shown in FIG. 3A. The terminus of each...
