Abstract
An electrode, connected to a fence charger or the like is secured across the bottom of a gate, fence or the like. A shield partially surrounds the electrode to prevent animals from contacting the electrode unless the animals attempt to put their heads under the gate or fence or attempt to crawl under the gate or fence.
Claims14
In an electric fence which includes a transverse lower side spaced above the floor, ground or the like, an ungrounded conductor electrode spanning said lower side between said lower side and the ground and being connectable to a source of electrical energy, and a partial shield on at least one side of said conductor and being spaced therefrom, thereby providing restricted access to said conductor from said one side, said partial shield extending downwardly from the lower side of said fence and with its lower edge terminating spaced above said electrode.
A fence for livestock or the like which includes a lower transverse edge spaced from the ground or floor, an ungrounded electrode secured to said lower transverse edge in spaced and parallel relationship thereto between said edge and the ground and a partial shield on at least one side of said conductor and being spaced therefrom, thereby providing restricted access to said conductor from said one side.
In an electric fence, gate or the like which includes a transversely extending lower edge, an electrode, means mounting said electrode in insulating relationship to said gate, fence or the like in spaced and parallel relationship thereto between said lower edge and the ground, a source of electrical energy operatively connected to said electrode and a partial shield on at least one side of said electrode and being spaced therefrom thereby providing restricted access to said electrode from said one side, said partial shield extending downwardly from the lower edge of said fence and with its lower edge terminating spaced above said electrode.
