  • Patent number: 4708323
    Abstract: A fence of a type including two posts secured to the ground and at least two wires extending between the posts. One of the wires is spaced above the other by a predetermined distance. An elastomeric elongated member having a front edge, a rear edge parallel to the front edge, top and bottom edges and two parallel sides has a wire holding structure at the top and bottom ends thereof. A small slot associated with each wire holding structure has a length narrower than the diameter of the wire so that it must be deformed in order to get the wire therethrough. Consequently, the fence attachment can be snapped onto two strands of wire without a danger that it will come unfastened.
