Abstract: A fence post comprising a first post member including at least one through rail opening formed therethrough. There is also at least one through wire opening formed through the post member with an insulating member positioned therein. Additionally, at least one cavity is formed in the first post member for receiving a preserving composition therein. A driving member is fixed to a bottom surface of the first post member that includes at least one projection having a predetermined contour projecting from a bottom surface thereof for breaking obstacles as the first post member is driven through a ground surface.

Abstract: A modular fence system (10) is provided. The modular fence system 10 generally includes a plurality of spaced post assemblies (100) for securement to a support surface, and at least one cross member (200) coupled to respective support portions of at least a pair of such post assemblies (100) to extend transversely therebetween. Each post assembly (100) includes first and second molded post members (110, 120) joined one to the other in opposed manner to define therebetween at least one transverse eyelet (105a, 105b, 105c). Each of the first and second post members (110, 120) is formed with a base section (114, 124) and a support section (112, 122) extending longitudinally therefrom. The support section (112) of the first post member (110) includes at least one slotted recess (115a, 115b, 115c) for defining against the second post member support section (122) at least a portion of one transverse eyelet (105a, 105b, 105c).

Abstract: An improved method of forming forged socket wrenches in a manner vitiating the need of further machining operation. Steel having a predetermined composition is received in coil form and treated with a lubricating coating. The coiled steel is then straightened and an initial billet of steel is cut to an appropriate size. The billet is then squared to establish opposing longitudinal surfaces in parallel relation with respect to each other and further to provide a working metal billet with a predetermined volume. The metal billet is then positionally located adjacent to a female die in order to provide a bearing surface to form a taper on at least a portion of the external surface of the metal billet.
