Abstract
A plurality of elongated slats are woven through the links of a chain link fence, in spaced parallel arrangement, and are engaged at one of their ends in an elongated channel-shaped retainer member woven through the links at an angle to the parallel slats. The ends of the slats opposite the retainer member preferably engage an elongated abutment member which may be another retainer member, or another slat, woven through the links parallel to the first named retainer member.
Claims2
For use with chain link fencing, a slat assembly comprising:
- a. a plurality of elongated slats proportioned to be woven flatwise through the links of chain link fencing in spaced, parallel arrangement, and
- b. an elongated retainer member U-shaped in cross section having an external thickness not exceeding the corresponding thickness of the fence link openings, whereby to accommodate insertion of the retainer member flatwise through the fence link openings adjacent one end of the slats and at an intercepting angle to the latter,
- c. the U-shaped retainer member having spaced parallel sides closed at the end away from the slat ends and open at the end facing the slats for receiving the slat ends for retention within the retainer member, the internal width of the retainer member between the spaced parallel sides thereof being substantially the same as the external flatwise width of the slats.
In combination with chain link fencing, a slat assembly comprising:
- a. a plurality of elongated slats woven flatwise through the links of chain link fencing in spaced, parallel arrangement, and
- b. an elongated retainer member U-shaped in cross section having an external thickness not exceeding the corresponding thickness of the fence link openings and woven flatwise through the fence link opening adjacent one end of the slats and at an intercepting angle to the latter,
- c. the U-shaped retainer member having spaced, parallel sides closed at the end away from the slat ends and open at the end facing the slats and receiving the slat ends for retention within the retainer member, the internal width of the retainer member between the spaced parallel sides thereof being substantially the same as the external flatwise width of the slats.
