US Patent 7178789 Fixture for hanging wire fence

The apparatus is a fixture for mounting wire fence on posts. The apparatus is a channel formed with slots across the web of the channel and the slots angled into the channel walls to form finger like tabs. Holes in lengthwise flanges on the channel sides or holes in the web permit mounting the fixture on a post using screws. The channel can be constructed in long or relatively short sections. The hanging fixture can be used at the top and bottom of the wire fence with the angles of the slots reversed, so that the wire fence can be trapped between them after simple installation by merely bending the wires to fit them into the slots.
