Abstract: A repair device is provided for repairing a broken wire. The repair device includes at least one elongated body having first and second hooks at opposing ends thereof, the first and second hooks opening inwardly towards the body. At least one locking member is operatively associated with at least one of the hooks. The locking member has a base portion and wing members extending outwardly from the base portion in opposing directions when disposed in a first position. The wing members are manually moveable from the first position wherein ends thereof are directed away from a longitudinal axis of the base member, to a second, locking position folded upon the wire connected to the at least one hook such that the wire portion is secured between surfaces defining the wing members.

Abstract: A locking wheel chock, for positioning between adjacent tandem wheels on spaced axles of a vehicle having no independent braking system provides upper and lower pairs of wheel contacting blocks connected in spaced relationship by a telescoping body assembly. The telescoping body assembly carries a rack on one portion and a fastening lever with a partial pinion on the other portion to engage the rack to adjust the length of the body assembly to move the wheel blocks into and out of fastening engagement with the tandem wheels for preventing relative rotation. Each wheel block is independently pivoted to allow tangential contact with the adjacent tire tread. A lock prevents movement of the fastening lever to maintain positioning and prevent tampering with the wheel chock when the fastening lever is in fastening position. A first species of wheel block provides paired adjustably spaced blocks on each side of the center line of tandem wheels.

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.
