Abstract
A guard for protecting wire along an interface between first and second portions of ground includes a base that extends along a centerline from a first end to a second end.

A slot extends from the first end towards the second end for receiving the wire such that the second end of the base protects the wire from impact.
Claims15
A guard for protecting wire along an interface between first and second portions of ground comprising:
- a base extending along a centerline from a first end to a second end and having a first surface and an opposing second surface, the first surface for engaging the first ground portion and the second surface for engaging the second ground portion;
- and
- a slot extending from the first end towards the second end for receiving the wire such that the second end of the base protects the wire from impact.
A method for protecting wire along an interface between first and second ground portions comprising:
- providing a wire guard having a base extending along a centerline from a first end to a second end, the base further including a slot extending from the first end towards the second end;
- locating the wire;
- inserting the wire guard along the interface between the first and second ground portions until the wire is positioned within the slot in the base such that the second end of the base protects the wire from impact.
A guard for protecting wire along an interface between first and second portions of ground comprising:
- a base extending along a centerline from a first end to a second end and having a first surface and an opposing second surface, the first surface for engaging the first ground portion and the second surface for engaging the second ground portion;
- a flange extending transversely from the first surface of the base for engaging an upwardly facing surface of the first ground portion;
- a plurality of openings extending through the base for receiving fasteners to secure the base to the first ground portion;
- and
- a slot extending from the first end towards the second end for receiving the wire while the flange engages the first ground portion such that the second end of the base protects the wire from impact.
