Benefits of technology

"The patent describes an equine fence system made of high density polyethylene with vertical support posts and horizontal rail members. The horizontal rail members have a spiral electrically conductive wire embedded just below the surface to discourage contact between the horse and rail. The horizontal rails also have an additional stiffener and support member longitudinally positioned within it to provide additional support for the horizontal rail and allow for longer horizontal rails, which reduces costs and maintenance."

Problems solved by technology

However, wood and timber fences are high maintenance since there is deterioration due to weather factors and the concommitment requirement of painting and restoring damaged rails.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]FIG. 1 is a front view of a portion of an equine fence system of the present invention fabricated out of high density polyethylene (HDPE). The equine fence 10 comprises a plurality of vertical posts 12 in spaced apart relationship, the lower portion 14 of the vertical post embedded into the ground and in most instances, into a footing 16. Vertical post 12 is formed with a plurality of apertures 18 for the slidable receipt of a plurality of horizontal railing members 20. In FIG. 1, the equine fence 10 is illustrated with three horizontal railing members 20, however, it will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the number of horizontal railing members 20 may vary depending upon the height of the fence.

[0023]The horizontal railing members 20 are slidably received within the apertures 18 formed in the vertical posts 12 and snap fit therein as more fully described hereafter. For straight sections of the equine railing system 10, the apertures 18 in a particular ve...

Abstract

An equine fence system fabricated of high density polyethylene having a plurality of vertical support posts embedded in the ground, there being a plurality of horizontal rail members extending between adjacent vertical posts, the horizontal rail members having a spiral electrically conductive wire embedded just below the surface of the horizontal rail to discourage contact between the horse and rail, the horizontal rails having an additional stiffener and support member longitudinally positioned within the horizontal rail to provide additional support for the horizontal rail and permit the use of longer horizontal rails therefore increasing the distance between vertical posts and reducing costs and maintenance.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Applicant claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 214,687, filed Apr. 28, 2009.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to fencing systems, and more particularly, to a reinforced equine fence system which allows for greater spans between vertical support posts and which includes electrically charged spirally embedded wire as a safety measure to deter equine contact and enhance the life of the fencing system.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]Equine fencing systems have been in use since man first domesticated the horse. Fencing systems are used to enclose corrals, and grazing areas, and fencing systems are also used to direct the flow of equine traffic.[0006]Initially fencing systems were made of wood and timber and wood and timber remain in wide spread use. However, wood and timber fences are high maintenance since there is deterioration due to weather factors and the concommitm...
