Abstract: An apparatus (10, 100) is disclosed for connection to a flange (52, 152) of a post. The flange comprises elongated apertures/holes (54, 154) therethrough. The apparatus comprises a body (12 or 112) having projections (14, 16 or 114, 116) that extend from the body to a distal end. A lug (18, 118) projecting laterally from a distal end of each projection has a profile configured such that it is able to nest in the elongated aperture of the flange when the apparatus is connected to the flange. The apparatus also comprises two locator elements (30, 32 or 130,132) that extend out from the body separately to the projections. The elements are spaced so as to receive the post flange therebetween, whereby the elements locate on opposite sides of the flange when the apparatus is connected to the flange.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising an elongate element having a retaining portion, and two projecting portions. In one form, hooked ends of each projecting portion are configured to extend through, and interact with, apertures in a flange of the post. In another form, the projecting portions are of different lengths, such that the position of the retaining portion is variable with respect to a given pair of apertures.

Abstract: A device for securing two or more posts together is disclosed. The device comprises a first end that can be passed through the post apertures, that is also configurable to prevent the first end from being withdrawn through the apertures, and a second end adapted to prevent the second end from passing through the apertures. The device may be reusable or non-reusable. A handle for use in moving a bundle of two or more posts is also disclosed. The bundle may have been formed with the device, or in another manner. The device and handle may be separate components or integrally formed. Systems and methods employing the device and/or handle are also disclosed.

Abstract: A post mounting system includes a post and at least one device for mounting to the post. The post includes a first elongate flange and at least one other elongate flange projecting from a proximal edge of the first flange. A portion of the first flange is deformed to facilitate mounting of the device. The device is located at a given position along the first flange. Upon being located in the given position, the device interacts with the deformed portion to resist lateral movement away from the first flange. The device can include a body and projections that define a recess. Remote ends of the projections are spaced from each other by a distance that is less than a lateral width of the deformed portion. The device can be positioned onto the post and receive the deformed portion in the recess to enable mounting of the device.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus (10) for connection to a flange (52) of a post (50). The flange (52) comprises two or more elongated apertures (54) therethrough which are spaced out along the length of the flange. The apparatus comprises a body (12) from which there extends two sets of projections (14A&B) and (16A&B). Each projection in each set respectively extends from the body to a distal end (18). Each of the sets (14), (16) comprises two projections A&B which extend from the body so as to define a recess R therebetween which is configured to receive the flange (52) therein. The distal ends (18) of the two projections (14) or (16) in a given set are able to locate in adjacency of a respective one of the elongated apertures (54) in the flange. At least one of the distal ends of at least one the projections comprises a passage (20) formed thereat. The passage (20) has a profile configured in a similar manner to that of the flange elongated aperture (54) adjacent to which it can be located in use.

Abstract: A ferrule 10 for attachment to an end of a wire rope R is disclosed. The ferrule comprises an open end 12 into which the end of the wire rope can be received for securement in the ferrule. The ferrule also comprises an end 14 that opposes the open end. The ferrule further comprises an axis Ax extending between the open and opposing ends. The ferrule is configured at or around at least one of the open and opposing ends such that the ferrule is able to mate with a corresponding formation of a socket 50 into which the ferrule can be received in use. Also disclosed is a socket 50 adapted to the ferrule, and a mechanism for axially locking the ferrule in the socket.

Abstract: A driver 10 for a fence post is disclosed. The driver comprises an elongate hollow body 12 having an open in-use lower end 14. A guide 16 is removably locatable at the lower end.

Abstract: A bracket for a post comprises a body adapted for being located at the post and at least one projection extending out from the body. The projection is adapted for retaining thereat at least one of a ground securing pin and an end of a tensioning rod. A post securement system comprises the bracket and at least one of the ground securing pin and tensioning rod. A method employing the bracket locates the post in ground, locates the bracket along the post and positions at least one of the ground securing pin and tensioning rod to be retained at the bracket.
