Abstract
A chain link fence with retained slats having slats inserted into the chain link fence and running between the top of the fence and the bottom of the fence. Between the top selvages and the top ends of the slats, between the bottom selvages and the bottom ends, of the slats, or between both the top selvages and the top ends of the slats and the bottom selvages and the bottom ends of the slats is inserted an elongate member having sufficient strength to retain the slats while also being sufficiently flexible to permit the chain link fence with the retained slats and the elongate member or members to be rolled in the traditional manner for a chain link fence, but not so flexible as to prevent the elongate member from being pushed into the desired position within the fence.
Claims17
A chain link fence with retained slats comprising:
- a chain link fence having wire, a top, a bottom, top selvages, and bottom selvages;
- fence slats running from the top to the bottom in the chain link fence;
- an elongate member inserted between a class of selvages and the nearer end of said slats to the class of selvages, the elongate member having a closed shape and sufficient strength to retain said slats within the chain link fence while also being sufficiently flexible to permit the chain link fence to be rolled but not so flexible as to prevent the elongate member from being pushed into the desired position within said chain link fence.
A chain link fence with retained slats comprising:
- a chain link fence having wire, a top, a bottom, top selvages, and bottom selvages;
- fence slats having a top end and a bottom end inserted into the chain link fence and running from the top to the bottom in the chain link fence;
- one or more elongate members constructed from one of low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate, and polyvinyl chloride;
- a first of the elongate members inserted between the top selvages and the top ends of the slats;
- a second of the elongate members inserted between the bottom selvages and the bottom ends of the slats;
- each of the elongate members a closed shape and having sufficient strength to retain said slats while also being sufficiently flexible to permit the chain link fence to be rolled but not so flexible as to prevent the elongate member from being pushed into the desired position within said chain link fence;
- and
- one or more connectors attaching the elongate members to the wire.
A chain link fence with retained slats comprising:
- a chain link fence;
- a plurality of fence slats inside the chain link fence;
- one or more flexible elongate members of closed shape for retaining the fence slats inside the chain link fence, the one or more flexible elongate members disposed between selvages of the chain link fence and slat ends of the plurality of fence slats nearest to the selvages;
- the chain link fence with retained slats configured to be at least one of rolled or unrolled.
