Abstract
A fence bracing system. The fence bracing system uses an attachment bracket. The attachment bracket includes a plate that has a middle section and a left side section and a right side section bent back at an angle. In the middle section, one or more spherical connectors are fixedly attached (e.g., welded) to the center of the middle section. The attachment bracket is fastened to a fence post at any height needed on the fence post. An open end of the pipe is insertable and fits over the spherical connector. The attachment bracket allows for a tight fit for pipes held in place between fence posts.
Claims10
A system for a high tensile bracing fence system, comprising:
- a fence post;
- an attachment bracket, the attachment bracket configured to be attached to the fence post, the attachment bracket comprising:
- a plate body, wherein the plate body comprises a middle section formed with a left side section and a right side section, wherein the left side section is bent backwards at an angle behind the middle section, and the right side section is bent at an angle behind the middle section, the left and right side sections conforming to a cross-sectional shape of the fence post and the plate body being attached to the fence post;
- at least one spherical connector formed in a shape of a sphere, wherein the at least one spherical connector is fixedly attached to a center of the middle section of the plate body, wherein the at least one spherical connector is stationary and non-movable, wherein the middle section does not include fastener holes, and wherein the at least one spherical connector is welded directly to the middle section of the plate body;
- and
- lines or marks located on the middle section of the plate body and above the at least one spherical connector, wherein the lines or the marks display a number for an angle in descending numerical order;
- and
- a pipe, wherein a first open end of the pipe is configured to fit over a respective one of the at least one spherical connectors of the attachment bracket when the attachment bracket is attached to the fence post, wherein the pipe fits by friction fit onto the respective at least one spherical connector;
- wherein the lines or the marks on the middle section of the plate body show the relative angle of the pipe to the plate body and indicate the angle at which the end of the pipe should be cut such that the pipe fits over the spherical connector and abuts the middle section of the plate body.
6 more elements
A system for a high tensile bracing fence system, comprising:
- a set of attachment brackets, wherein each attachment bracket of the set of attachment brackets comprises:
- a plate body, wherein the plate body comprises a middle section formed with a left side section and a right side section, wherein the left side section is bent at an angle behind the middle section, and the right side section is bent at an angle behind the middle section, the left and right side sections conforming to a cross-sectional shape of a fence post;
- at least one spherical connector formed in a shape of a sphere, wherein the at least one spherical connector is fixedly attached to a center of the middle section of the plate body, wherein the at least one spherical connector is stationary and non-movable, wherein the middle section does not include fastener holes, and wherein the at least one spherical connector is welded directly to the middle section of the plate body;
- and
- lines or marks located on the middle section of the plate body and above the at least one spherical connector, wherein the lines or the marks display a number for an angle in descending numerical order;
- a first fence post having the plate body of a first attachment bracket of the set of attachment brackets attached to the first fence post;
- a pipe, wherein a first open end of the pipe is configured to fit over a respective one of the at least one spherical connectors of the first attachment bracket, wherein the pipe fits by friction fit onto the respective at least one spherical connector, wherein the pipe is made of metal;
- and
- a second fence post having the plate body of a second attachment bracket of the set of attachment brackets attached to the second fence post, wherein a second open end of the pipe is configured to fit over a respective one of the at least one spherical connectors of the second attachment bracket, wherein the pipe extends between the first fence post and the second fence post;
- wherein the lines or the marks on the middle section of the plate body of each attachment bracket show the relative angle of the pipe to the plate body and indicate the angle at which the end of the pipe should be cut such that the pipe fits over the spherical connector and abuts the middle section of the plate body.
