Abstract
Retaining device for use with two elongated slats longitudinally, which are located in a chain linked fence. The device includes a cap member having a distal panel, a proximal panel and an intermediate panel interconnecting the distal and the proximal panels. A guide rail is connected to the distal panel and extends along a portion of the distal panel. Each elongated slat has a notch located in a portion of a slat end. The notch is of sufficient size to cooperate with the guide rail and to slide over it along a restricted path of travel and is retained on the guide rail.
