AI Technical Summary
Wood-plastic composite slats in wire fences are prone to twisting and deformation due to their weight, as they are conventionally fixed using sealing strips or clips, leading to damage and reduced product lifespan.
A hook with a short and long hook portion, integrated with a horizontal portion, is used to vertically hang slats on a mesh, combined with a sealing strip and belt strip to secure and stabilize the slats, preventing deformation.
The hooking method prevents slat deformation, enhances stability, and maintains the appearance of the fence, while offering cost-effectiveness and improved durability.

Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: A hook and a fence with bent iron wires using the same Technical field
[0001] This utility certificate belongs to the technical field of fences, in particular relates to a fence provided with folded iron wires which is provided with prefabricated slat-forming members and a hook used for hanging a prefabricated slat-forming member. Prior art
[0002] A wire fence is generally composed of metal wires that crisscross in the longitudinal and transverse directions, and the wire fence is a hollow mesh structure, and has the disadvantage of not being able to block the line of sight. On this basis, manufacturers of wire fences have developed various technical solutions to optimize the structures of wire fences, so that the fences have functions of blocking the line of sight and protecting privacy. For example, the utility model patent entitled "Privacy Protection Accessory Set for Garden Wire Fence", with issue number CN 218324240U, granted to the present applicant comprises a plastic sheet, a sealing strip, a belt strip and a fastener.After the plastic sheets are inserted into the wire fence, the upper part of the wire fence is sealed with the sealing strip for waterproofing purposes, the middle part of the wire fence is tightened with the belt strip to prevent loosening, and the lower part of the wire fence is fixed with the sealing strip or ties to prevent them from falling, so that a structure that blocks the line of sight is formed.
[0003] As the wire fence market has developed, consumers have made more diversified demands. For example, some consumers prefer to use wood-plastic composite plates to decorate wire fences, so that the wire fences have the functions of blocking the line of sight and protecting privacy.
[0004] At present, the wood-plastic composite sheets used in commercially available wire fences are generally less than or equal to 5 mm thick, which is relatively thin. Compared with conventional plastic sheets, wood-plastic composite sheets are heavier but have less flexibility. If the wood-plastic composite sheets are still mounted in the same manner as in the above-mentioned utility model patent, i.e. "the wood-plastic composite plates are fixed at the lower part by supporting them with a sealing strip or clips to prevent them from falling", the wood-plastic composite plates will be twisted and deformed or even cracked and damaged at the lower part due to the prolonged action of their own weight on the lower part. Summary of the utility certificate
[0005] This utility certificate relates to a hook, which can hook and fix a slat in a mesh of a fence provided with bent iron wires.

[0011] As a further definition in this utility certificate, the long hook portion is provided with an indicator arrow that points toward the horizontal portion.
[0012] This utility certificate further relates to a fence with bent iron wires, which comprises a mesh with at least one horizontal transverse wire on an upper part, slats hooked on the mesh, a sealing strip mounted on the upper part of the mesh and a belt strip clamped between the mesh and the slats; the fence further comprises hooks as described above;
[0013] one end of each strip being provided with a through hole, and the diameter of the through hole being greater than the width of the hook and the length of the short hook portion but less than the length of the long hook portion, and
[0014] the short hook portions of the hooks pass through the through holes in the slats and rest on the horizontal cross wires of the mesh to vertically hook the slats in the mesh.
[0015] As defined in this utility certificate, the lamellas are wood-plastic composite plates, aluminum alloy plates or plastic plates.
[0016] As a further definition in this utility certificate, the belt strip comprises a groove portion, a first tab portion and a second tab portion which are integrally formed, and the first tab portion and the second tab portion extend outward symmetrically on both sides of the groove portion;
[0017] the groove portion is connected to the first leg portion and the second leg portion via an arcuate transition respectively.
[0018] As yet another definition in this utility certificate, the belt strip is made of an aluminum alloy.
[0019] As another definition in this utility certificate, the sealing strip is provided with a through-slot having a trapezoidal cross-section in the length direction; the through-slot has an opening width smaller than the width of the lower portion of the through-slot, and barbs inclined relative to the lower portion of the through-slot are provided at the opening of the through-slot.
[0020] Thanks to the technical solution described above, the present utility certificate achieves the following beneficial effects, compared with the prior art:
[0021] (1) This utility certificate is an improvement made to the method of Fixing slats in a fence with bent iron wires, more particularly, a hooking fixing method is used to replace the conventional bracket securing method, and thus a phenomenon that the slats are twisted and deformed at the lower part due to the lasting action of their own weight on the lower part is avoided, the useful life of the product is greatly prolonged, and the product can maintain a good appearance and shape in the long term.
[0022] (2) In this utility certificate, the slats are fixed by hanging using of hooks. The hooks are designed to have a simple structure and low cost and can provide manufacturers with considerable economic benefits; moreover, thanks to the design of the hooks in a reasonable size, the transverse wires horizontal bars on the upper part of the mesh are ingeniously used to hang the slats on the hooks, and therefore the product has high practicability.
[0023] In addition, the mounted hooks can be completely covered by the sealing strip at the upper part, and thus, on the one hand, the aesthetic appearance is improved and, on the other hand, the sealing strip can prevent the hooks from rotating or shifting, and thus the slats are hung more stably.

Of course, a plurality of layers of barbs 9 inclined relative to the lower portion of the through-slot 8 can be further arranged on the inner side wall of the sealing strip 4 as required, so that the sealing strip 4 can have multiple levels of clamping force that could be selected. In this embodiment, a layer of barbs 9 inclined relative to the lower portion of the through-slot 8 is added on the central portion of the inner side wall of the sealing strip 4.In this embodiment, each barb 9 is arranged to extend in the longitudinal direction of the sealing strip 4, and the length of the barbs 9 is equal to the length of the sealing strip 4. IV - belt band 5
[0044] As shown in [Fig.3], the belt strip 5 can be clamped in the V-shaped mounting groove of the mesh 2 in a contracted state and stretched between the mesh 2 and the slats 3 under the action of elastic deformation to prevent the slats 3 inserted in the mesh 2 from coming off.
[0045] More specifically, the belt strip 5 is made of a metal material having elastic deformation, and its length corresponds to the width of the mesh 2. The belt strip 5 in this embodiment is made of an aluminum alloy. As shown in [Fig.7], the belt strip 5 has an M-shaped cross-section and comprises a groove portion 10, a first leg portion 11 and a second leg portion 12 which are integrally formed. The first leg portion 11 and the second leg portion 12 extend outward symmetrically on both sides of the groove portion 10, and the groove portion 10 is connected to the first leg portion 11 and the second leg portion 12 via an arcuate transition respectively.
