Abstract: The invention relates to a retainer clip or latch attached to a fence post, such as a plastic fence post, for use in electric fences, that can be used with different types of fence strand members, and that is operated by hand to permit easy securement and removal of the fence strand members. The clip includes first and second portions which are hingedly attached together at one end and are releasably engageable with each other at the opposite end. The clip defines a loop at one end for holding an elongate fence strand member, such as wire, and an elongated area for holding a broader fence strand members, such as electric tape. The loop and elongated area are separated by a finger which extends from the second portion and into a notch in the first portion. The clips can be directly attached to a head portion of a T-shaped fence post at spaced locations along its length.

Abstract: An apparatus for re-rolling a web of plastic bags that has been printed includes first, second and third spindles mounted on a frame. The web from the printer is collected on a spool on the first spindle. This spool with the web is then transferred to the second spindle and then the web from the second spindle is rolled onto the third spindle so that the bags are presented in the proper orientation for subsequent handling such as in a manual bagging operation. The first and third spindles are driven, for examples with separate electric motors.
