Definitions

  • This invention relates to fences, and more particularly to fences adapted to prevent the formation of snowdrifts, commonly referred to as snow fences.
  • lt is accordingly a primary object of this invention to provide a fence and a method of building same which can keep back the snow so as ⁇ to prevent snow drifts.
  • lt is a secondary object of this invention to provide such a fence which is readily portable whereby it may readily be taken down after a winters use and replaced at the beginning of the next winter season.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a snow fence which can economically ⁇ be constructed of the sturdiest fence material available.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide a fence in which earth to fence contact is kept at a minimum thereby minimizing any rotting.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a fence which may readily flex under wind load without breakmg.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide a fence in which the elements are readily replaceable with a minimum of effort when repair is needed.
  • the present invention mainly consists of provision of an intermeshed wire fence supported on posts adapted to be inserted into the ground spaced at lengths therealong and fastened thereto. Between these posts and interlaced in the mesh fance are provided snow retaining elements or slats.
  • Fig. l is a view of a length of the fence showing one species of the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is an enlarged View showing a section of the fence with another embodiment of the stake arrangement and employing a different species of wire mesh;
  • Fig. 3 is a detail, drawn to a reduced scale, of the embodiment shown in Fig. 2;
  • Fig. 4 is a cross-section taken on the line 4--4 of Fig. 3 through a slat shown in Fig. 3.
  • posts or stakes il are provided having pointed ends 2 so as to permit ready insertability into the ground.
  • Supported on the stakes i is a length of wire fencing 3 of the mesh variety.
  • the particular mesh employed in the embodiment disclosed in Fig. l is of the type wherein the strands making up the mesh of the fence cross each other.
  • the particular type of fence employed may be varied so long as a mesh structure results.
  • snow resisting elements or slats l are woven into the mesh.
  • the particular orientation of the slats may be varied from a position at right angles to the ground to one parallel to the ground.
  • the preferred embodiment the most desirable arrangement has been illustrated, namely: a positioning of the slats at right angles to the ground.
  • the preferred construction has ⁇ a slat spacing wherein the slats, which are of a width equal to half that of the mesh, are arranged at least half a mesh width apart.
  • the slats are preferably fastened to the wire fencing.
  • this fastening is disclosed as taking place by means of a strand of wire 5 extending through hole 6 at an upper portion of the slat fastened to upper wire '7 of the fence.
  • lt is illustrated as connected at the upper portion of the Slat, since when construction takes place at the fence site it eliminates the need for the workmen to stoop excessively, but may either be woven into the fence without fastening, or tied at any other convenient point.
  • the posts or stakes i are preferably made up of a light tubular metal. It should be obvious however, that though a preferred construction would employ a light tubular non-rustable material, stakes of :any other variety may also be utilized.
  • Fig. 2 it is Ito be noted that the fence is provided of a sectionalized structure whereby separate units may be maintained. Note the stakes at the right of Fig. 2 indicating how two fence units may be joined. The disclosure of Fig. 2 also indicates the obviously permissible use of a different variety of wire meshing whereby the ⁇ strands of the mesh interlace and go back upon themselves. This mesh construction is most clearly indicated in Fig. 3.
  • the slats 4 may be formed of any light exible material. Light non-ferrous metal strips or plastic or wood may be employed whichever is found most economically feasible.
