Abstract:

An apparatus and method for securing fence wire to posts employs a fence clip having a ring-like body with first and second legs extending from the body on opposite sides of an opening within the body. A nut and bolt arrangement is employed for drawing the legs toward each other, reducing the opening and clamping the ring-like body about a cylindrical post. Each of the fence clips also has a pair of containment guides extending from opposite edges of the ring-like body, the containment guides forming a passageway for receiving and maintaining barbed wire. The openings of the passageway are flared outwardly to accommodate the entry of the barbed wire into the passageway regardless of the direction in which the barbed wire passes. The fence clips are adjustable, repositionable, and reusable.

Abstract:

A stabilizer for barbed wire fences and its method of use are presented. The stabilizer is a single unitary piece of molded plastic having an aperture and a deflectable locking tab allowing for access to the aperture. Such apertures and deflectable locking tabs are uniformly spaced along the length of the stabilizer and are adapted to receive the spaced-apart barbed wire of a fencing system. The deflectable locking tab accommodates both ease of application and release of the stabilizer with respect to the barbed wire.
