Abstract
An electric fence wire construction is made by plying or weaving coated supporting members, preferably fiberglass coated with polyvinyl chloride, with conducting members, preferably aluminum.
Claims26
An improved electric fence wire construction comprising
- a. an elongated support member comprising a core material, which provides a significant amount of strength to the support member, and a coating material coating the core material;
- and
- b. an elongated conductive member intermeshed with and supported by the support member with a substantial portion of the conductive member exposed to the outer surface of the construction, said support member being characterized by a breaking elongation which is substantially equal to or less than the breaking elongation of the conductive member.
An electric fence wire assembly comprising
- an elongated support member and
- an elongated electrical conductor intermeshed with the support member so that the support member supports the conductor with a substantial portion of the surface of the conductor being exposed,
- said support member comprising a core and a coating on the core for protecting the core from abrasion caused by its use in an electric fence wire assembly and, said support member being characterized by a breaking elongation which is substantially equal to or less than the breaking elongation of the conductive member.
An electric fence wire assembly comprising
- an elongated support member and
- an elongated electrical conductor intermeshed with the support member so that the support member supports the conductor with a substantial portion of the surface of the conductor being exposed,
- the support member being made of a material which fractures under less longitudinal strain than the conductor.
An improved electric fence wire construction comprising
- an elongated support member and
- an elongated electrical conductor intermeshed with the support member so that the support member supports the conductor with a substantial portion of the surface of the conductor being exposed,
- said conducting member consisting essentially of one or more aluminum alloys, and said support member being characterized by a breaking elongation which is substantially equal to or less than the breaking elongation of the conductive member.
An improved electric fence wire construction comprising
- a. an elongated support member comprising a core material, which provides a significant amount of strength to the support member, and a coating material coating the core material;
- and
- b. an elongated conductive member woven with and supported by the support member with a substantial portion of the conductive member exposed to the outer surface of the construction, said support member being characterized by a breaking elongation which is substantially equal to or less than the breaking elongation of the conductive member.
An electric fence wire assembly comprising
- an elongated support member and
- an elongated electrical conductor woven with the support member so that the support member supports conductor with a substantial portion or the surface of the conductor being exposed,
- said support member comprising a core and a coating on the core for protecting the core from abrasion caused by its use in an electric fence wire assembly, and said support member being characterized by a breaking elongation which is substantially equal to or less than the breaking elongation of the conductive member.
An improved electric fence wire construction comprising
- an elongated support member and
- an elongated electrical conductor woven with the support member so that the support member supports the conductor with a substantial portion of the surface of the conductor being exposed,
- said conducting member consisting essentially of one or more aluminum alloys, and said support member being characterized by a breaking elongation which is substantially equal to or less than the breaking elongation of the conductive member.
