Definitions

  • the current invention deals with fencing, and more particularly, with fencing that is constructed such that it can be stored and transported in a dismantled packaged condition, and when on site, can be quickly and easily snapped together without tools and erected to form a barrier.
  • the fencing can be utilized in multiple sections, wherein each section is self-contained in a portable container.
  • fences have historically been used for multiple purposes, including keeping animals and/or people within a confined area, or in the alternative, keeping animals and/or people outside of an area.
  • fences have tended to be permanent structures, but with the mobility of the current generation, the need has arisen for non-permanent fencing structures to temporarily define a space, whether that be for construction and/or entertainment.
  • One of the problems encountered is that the current fencing on the market usually requires trucks and/or other heavy-duty equipment to transport the fence units from one location to another. The current fencing available also requires tools to assemble or disassemble.
  • U.S. Patent 4,951,925 granted August 28, 1990 to Schultz et al discloses a fence connector assembly wherein rail shapes are threaded into a post and the rails are then snapped into position over the post member.
  • U.S. Publication US2011/0017968 published January 27, 2011 to Christoffer et al discloses a preassembled sectional safety rail for use in construction, wherein the rails are secured to a base plate by telescopically inserting vertical posts into the vertical ends of the rails.
  • U.S. Publication US2012/0061636 published March 15, 2012 to Williams SR et al discloses a system for strengthening vinyl fences, wherein a kit is provided including U-shaped channel member which are inserted into the top and bottom sections of the preexisting railings.
  • US2009/071919 describes a safe and secure storage apparatus for removable fence sections when the fence is not being used.
  • EP1300518 describes a portable safety guardrail system which utilizes a cast iron base or a welded base and tubular guardrail sections and gates.
  • Still another desirable aspect of the current invention is the fact that the fencing structure is very stable and solid in appearance, and yet is quickly and easily dismantled and transported to another location, whether for storage or use.
  • a further feature of the present invention is that each fencing unit is prepackaged and portable.
  • the isometric view of the fence kit 10 ( Figure 1 ) includes a left post 30 and a right post 28.
  • a left post 30 and a right post 28.
  • two rail connectors 38 see Figure 4 , as well as two footings 12-12, pickets 18 and tube clips 26.
  • the left post 30 has an F-shape in profile and includes a vertical member 34.
  • the vertical member 34 may be a 0.91m (3ft) long 2.54cm x 2.54 cm x 1.65cm (1 inch x 1 inch x 0.65 inches) rectangular steel tubing.
  • a top horizontal member 38 and mid-height member 38 are welded to the right side of the first end of vertical member 34.
  • the horizontal member 38 may be 20.3cm (8 inches) long 2.54cm x 2.54cm x 0.419cm (1 inch x 1 inch x 0.165 inch) rectangular steel tubing.
  • the mid-height member 38 is located approximately 30.5cm (12 inches) from the bottom end.
  • a flat metal piece 36A is welded to the top side of horizontal member 38 in such a way that the metal piece 36A overhangs about 3-1/2 inches toward the vertical member 34.
  • a frame connector pin or rail connector 32 is welded to the bottom side of the overhanging portion of metal piece 36A.
  • the frame connector pin 32 may be a 1.91cm (3/4-inch) long stub made of 1.91cm (3/4-inch) hot rolled steel.
  • the right post 28 is a mirror image of the left post 30, with two exceptions, in that the flat metal piece 36 equivalent to the flat metal piece 36A has a length of only 20.3cm (8 inches) and does not form an overhang such that two facing elements may be conveniently joined together, right to left.
  • a rail connector 40 (see Figure 6 ) includes a horizontal member 38 and flat metal piece 36 welded to the top side of horizontal member 38.
  • the flat metal piece may be a 20.3cm x 0.64cm x 2.54cm (8 inch x 1/4 inch x 1 inch) flat piece of metal.
  • a 1.27cm (1/2 inch) diameter hole 39 is drilled 10.2cm (4 inches) from each end of the horizontal member 38.
  • a tube clip 26 with a button pin 27 is disposed inside of each end of the horizontal member in a manner that allows the button pin 27 to pop out through the hole 39.
  • the top and bottom rails 42, 44 should be 119cm x 5.08cm x 2.54cm, 1.65cm (47 inches x 2 inches x 1, 0.65 inch) rectangular tubes having 1.27cm (1/2-inch) diameter hole 43 drilled in one of the 5.08cm (2-inch) sides 10.2cm (4 inches) from each end of the rails. Hole 43 seizes the button pin 27.
  • Hook and loop squares 22 having the size of 2.54cm x 2.54cm (1 inch x 1 inch) are affixed to the non-drilled side of the top and bottom rails 42, 44 about 20.3cm (8 inches) apart to secure the slats 18 to the top and bottom rails. It is to be noted that only one portion of the hook/loop combination is shown in Figure 4 .
  • the footing includes a flat base 46 formed of a 24 inch long 0.64cm x 5.08cm (1/4 inch x 2 inch) flat metal plate having two rods 48 above and perpendicular in the center of the base one inch apart.
  • the rods are 6 inches long hot rolled 1.91cm (3/4-inch) steel bar and are formed to removably fit into the second end of vertical members 34.
  • Pickets 18 may include a wood slat 20 approximately 96.5cm (38 inches) long and 10.2cm (4 inches) wide with a Roman top at one end or other design of choice.
  • One 5.08cm (2 inch) plastic table clip 24 is glued to the wood slat 20 about 7.62cm (3 inches) from the top and another one about 15.2cm (6 inches) from the bottom, such that the clips may be clipped on the top and bottom rails 42, 44 over the hook and loop squares 22.
  • the post 28, 30 and the pickets 18 may be made larger to accommodate the customer's needs.
  • different types of slats may be used, such as vinyl, wood, wrought iron, cedar slats or fence wire to give different looks other than the picket fence look, as shown.
  • round tubing may be used.
  • a cart is shown having a horizontal platform 50 and a vertical handle 52, and further including wheels 54, wherein said cart is designed to be secured to a container by straps 56, as shown in Figure 10 , to hold, transport and store a fencing section 10.
  • the handle 52 extends above the container 58 and allows easy transport of the fence sections secured within the container.
  • the do-it-yourself fence kit may address the needs of the rental industry, such as party rentals, fence rental companies and wedding and event planners. It is too be understood that it may be modified into gates, railing or balusters and may be used to form dog kennels, chicken coops and the like.
