专利汇可以提供Fence jig专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A fence jig is provided for assisting construction of privacy fences. The fence jig includes an elongated board that is the length of a fence post. Attached to that board is a post guide that fits on the fence post. First, second, and third flanges are attached to the board with dimensions that place gaps between the flanges where fence connectors should be located when the post guide rests on a fence post. The fence jig also provides reference edges and power saw cutting guides for accurately cutting fence panels.,下面是Fence jig专利的具体信息内容。
What is claimed is:
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/950,465, which was filed Mar. 10, 2014, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The presently disclosed subject matter relates to installing fencing. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fence installation jig.
There are many home improvement projects a home owner can undertake to update and beautify their homes. One (1) of the most popular and useful is fencing. A fence can enhances the aesthetic beauty of a home and its landscaping, serve as a boundary for children and pets, act as a deterrent for trespassers, and help maintain good relationships with neighbors.
Modern fencing takes many forms. Picket fences, chain link fences, wood fences, and vinyl fences are all widely available. Modern fencing provides home owners with a variety of styles, quality construction, and years of services with little or no maintenance. However, actually constructing a fence tends to be time consuming and is very labor intensive. For example, vinyl fences are usually constructed of vinyl fence panels that are attacked to fence posts. In the prior art constructing a vinyl fence required one to carefully measure and then re-measure a cut before actually making that cut. A mistake was costly both in time and materials. Additionally, in the prior art it was often difficult to determine accurate locations where vinyl fence connectors needed to be located when attaching each panel. Wood privacy fences had similar problems.
In view of the foregoing there exists a need for a device that makes construction of vinyl and privacy fencing easier, faster, and simpler.
The principles of the present invention provide for a jig that makes construction of privacy fencing such as those made of vinyl and wood easier, faster, and simpler.
A fence jig that is in accord with the present invention includes an elongated board having a planar fence face and a planar post face opposite the fence face. A rip edge extends between the fence face and the post face and an outer edge is located opposite the rip edge. The board further includes a top edge and a bottom edge. The fence jig also includes a post guide that attached to the board top edge and which perpendicularly projects out the said post face to form an under face. A first flange is attached to the fence face. The first flange has a first flange board face in contact with the fence face, a first flange fence face opposite the first flange board face, a top edge above the first flange board face and the first flange fence face, a first flange rip edge on the left of the first flange board face; a first bracket upper edge opposite the top edge, and the thickness of a stringer of a fence being constructed.
The fence jig also includes a second flange attached to the fence face, the second flange having a second flange board face in contact with the fence face, a second flange fence face opposite the second flange board face, a first bracket lower edge above the second flange board face and the second flange fence face, a second flange rip edge to the left of the second flange board face; a second bracket upper edge opposite the first bracket lower edge, and the thickness of a stringer of a fence being constructed.
The Fence Jig also includes a third flange attached to the fence face. The third flange having a third flange board face in contact with the fence face, a third flange fence face opposite the third flange board face, a second bracket lower edge above the third flange board face and the third flange fence face, a third flange rip edge to the left of the third flange board face; and a second flange bottom edge opposite the second bracket lower edge, and the thickness of a stringer of a fence being constructed.
In practice, the post guide is placed on top of a fence post with the post face in contact with that fence post. Then the first bracket upper edge is located where the top of a “U”-shaped bracket should go.
In addition, the fence jig can include a first spacer that attached to the post face and to the under face to form a first reference edge, a second spacer attached to the post face to form second reference edge, and a third spacer attached to the post face to form a third reference edge such that the first reference edge, the second reference edge, and the third reference edge are coplanar.
The advantages and features of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following more detailed description and claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like elements are identified with like symbols and in which:
The preferred embodiment of the present invention is depicted within

The post guide 30 is a square piece that projects over the front of the board 20 (best shown in
Referring again primarily to
The second flange 50 has similar faces and long edges as the first flange 40. Specifically, a second flange board face 52, a second flange fence face 53, and a second flange rip edge 58. The third flange 60 is also configured similarly with a third flange board face 62, a third flange fence face 63, and a third flange rip edge 68. The upper narrow edge of the second flange 50 is the first bracket lower edge 54. The narrow edge of the second flange 50 is the second bracket upper edge 56. The length of the second flange 50 corresponds to the distance between the upper stringer 110 and the lower stringer 110 on the fence panel 105. The upper narrow edge of the third flange 60 is the second bracket lower edge 66. The edge opposite the second bracket lower edge 66 is the third flange bottom edge 69. The third flange 60 is attached to the bottom of the board 20. The length of the third flange 60 corresponds to the distance between a lower stringer 110 on a fence panel 105 and grade level.
Disposed on the post face 22 are a first spacer 70, a second spacer 80, and a third spacer 90. Each of the spacers 70, 80, 90 is about three inches (3 in.) high and two inches (2 in.) wide. The first spacer 70, the second spacer 80, and the third spacer 90 are attached to the board 20, preferably by adhesive and threaded fasteners 16. The upper surface of the first spacer 70 is attached to the under face 34 of the post guide 30. The left edge of the first spacer 70 is a first reference edge 76. The second spacer 80 is attached to the board 20 approximately two inches (2 in.) below the first spacer 70. The left edge of the second spacer 80 is a second reference edge 86. The third spacer 90 is attached to the board 20 approximately forty-one inches (41 in.) below the second spacer 80. The left edge of the third spacer 90 is a third reference edge 96. The first reference edge 76, the second reference edge 86, and the third reference edge 96 are coplanar and are used to align the rip edge 28 of the board 20 with the correct lateral location for a first “U”-shaped bracket 125 and a second “U”-shaped bracket 130 when the under face 34 of the post guide 30 is placed on top of a fence post 100 and the reference edges 76, 86, and 96 are in contact with fence post 100.
