Terminator bracket assembly

An assembly comprising a length of polymer jacketed high tensile wire fencing having an end and a coupling coupled to the end of the fencing,

• wherein the coupling includes a plate having first and second edges that are generally parallel to each other, the first and second edges of the plate including a rearwardly projecting flange, a slot passing through the plate generally perpendicular to the first and second edges, the slot having upper and lower ends spaced from the first and second edges,
• wherein the polymer jacketed high tensile wire fencing includes at least two longitudinally extending high-tensile strength core members, a solid polymeric sheath encasing each of the core members, and a solid polymeric webbing joining the sheaths of adjacent core members at a fixed uniform separation distance in a substantially parallel arrangement, a fold in the fencing defining a bight joining a shorter portion of the fencing to a longer portion of the fencing, the fold penetrating the slot of the coupling and the shorter portion of the fencing lying against a surface of the plate adjacent the slot, and
• wherein the coupling additionally includes a pin of a length greater than the distance between the upper and lower ends of the slot, the pin having a first end including a bend of sufficient size to extend over a rear edge of the rearwardly projecting flange of one of the first and second edges of the plate, the pin having a second end inserted into the bight in the fold of the fencing to retain the fold of the fencing in the slot, the pin being vertically removable from the bight to quickly release the fencing from the coupling.

An assembly comprising a fence post, a length of polymer jacketed high tensile wire fencing having an end, and a coupling coupled to the end of the fencing and to the fence post,

• wherein the coupling includes a plate having first and second edges that are generally parallel to each other, the first and second edges of the plate including a rearwardly projecting flange, a slot passing through the plate generally perpendicular to the first and second edges, the slot having upper and lower ends spaced from the first and second edges, the plate also having third and fourth edges, at least one of the third and fourth edges being generally parallel to the slot, one of the third and fourth edges being coupled to the fence post,
• wherein the polymer jacketed high tensile wire fencing includes at least two longitudinally extending high-tensile strength core members, a solid polymeric sheath encasing each of the core members, and a solid polymeric webbing joining the sheaths of adjacent core members at a fixed uniform separation distance in a substantially parallel arrangement, a fold in the fencing defining a bight joining a shorter portion of the fencing to a longer portion of the fencing, the fold penetrating the slot of the coupling and the shorter portion of the fencing lying against a surface of the plate adjacent the slot, and
• wherein the coupling additionally includes a pin of a length greater than the distance between the upper and lower ends of the slot, the pin having a first end including a bend of sufficient size to extend over a rear edge of the rearwardly projecting flange of one of the first and second edges of the plate, the pin having a second end inserted into the bight in the fold of the fencing to retain the fold of the fencing in the slot, the pin being vertically removable from the bight to quickly release the fencing from the coupling.
