PET BARRIER FASTENER

摘要

A fastener system for use to assemble a pet barrier. The fastener system includes a body and a mountable member that is configured to attach two adjacent overlapping wire panels together to erect a pet barrier. Vertical grooves and horizontal grooves are disposed along the periphery of the interior surface of the body. The detents formed within the vertical grooves assist in retaining the vertical wire rods of the distal wire panel so that the body can hang onto the back side of the distal wire panel without the user having to hold it in place which facilitates the assembly of the pet barrier with only a single user. Thus, the fastener system allows a single user to assemble the pet barrier without the assistance of another person.

主权项

1. A fastener for attaching a first wire panel to a second wire panel together, the fastener comprising:
a body sufficiently large to cover four wire rods, the body having first, second, third and fourth grooves about a periphery of the body, the first groove and the second groove being parallel to each other and having detents configured to retain the wire rods of the first wire panel in the first and second grooves for holding the body to the first wire panel, the third and fourth grooves being parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first and second grooves and being configured to receive a corresponding transverse wire rods of the first wire panel and the second wire panel, the body having a threaded hole; and a mountable member sufficiently large to cover four wire rods, the mountable member having a threaded protrusion configured to be threaded onto the threaded hole of the body to clamp the first and second wire panels between the mountable member and the body, the mountable member having a handle portion on an exterior side for rotating the mountable member in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction for removably attaching the mountable member to the body.
