Repair device for stranded wire fence

Abstract

A repair device to refasten the ends of a broken strand of wire in a fence structure, especially such as a strand of barbed wire. The repair device provides at least two similar releasably interconnectable portions, each having a first medial interconnecting hook defined at a first end of an elongate wire body and a second wire fastening hook defined at the second end of the wire body. A conic wire nut is movably carried on the wire body to receive the second wire fastening hook therein and fasten upon that second hook and a loop of fence wire carried by the hook to interconnect one end of the fence wire with the second end portion of the repair device. The wire nut defines peripherally extending wings to aid manual manipulation and may be formed with a slot or releasably interconnectable portion to allow placement on the wire body after formation. More than two of the repair devices may be joined to each other to span a greater distance between wire ends to be connected.
