Abstract: A one-piece spring fastener is provided for mounting fencing wire or the like to a channel-shaped support. The wire is mounted at an oblique angle to the axis of the support and the wire is free to move along its axis relative to the support. The fastener includes a pair of spaced-apart T-shaped walls joined by a bight portion. The top portions of the T-shaped walls cooperate with the bight portion to define a trough for receipt of the wire. Each of the T-shaped walls includes a dart-shaped wall portion, the dart-shaped wall portions being generally parallel to each other and defining a plane oriented at the oblique angle relative to the associated top portion. The dart-shaped wall portions are configured to be forcibly received between the inturned flanges of the channel-shaped support and retained therebetween.

Abstract: A one-piece spring fastener is provided for mounting fencing wire or the like to a channel shaped support. In one embodiment the wire is mounted generally perpendicularly to the support and is free to move along its axis relative to the support. The fastener is of a generally U shape in cross-section comprising two generally parallel, spaced apart, generally T shaped members joined along substantially the entire tops thereof by a bight or interconnecting bridge portion. The top portions of the T shaped members in combination with the bight portion form a trough for receipt of the wire and the base portions of the T shaped members are generally dart shaped for non-rotational, forced receipt inbetween and retention by the inturned flanges of the channel shaped support.

Abstract: A one-piece spring fastener is provided for mounting fencing wire or the like to a channel shaped support. In one embodiment the wire is mounted generally perpendicularly to the support and is free to move along its axis relative to the support. The fastener is of a generally "U" shape in cross-section comprising two generally parallel, spaced apart, generally "T" shaped members joined along substantially the entire tops thereof by a bight or interconnecting bridge portion. The top portions of the "T" shaped members in combination with the bight portion form a trough for receipt of the wire and the base portions of the "T" shaped members are generally dart shaped for nonrotational, forced receipt inbetween and retention by the inturned flanges of the channel shaped support.
