MODULAR AUTONOMOUS MOBILE FENCE, DELIMITER OF GRAZING AREAS
Modular autonomous mobile fence, delimiter of grazing areas. It consists of two structures (10, 20) arranged opposite and distant from each other. Each structure (10, 20) is composed of at least two movable towers, arranged at the ends of the very same row and structurally linked to each other to form a movable row. An electric wire conductor (14, 15) is arranged between these two rows (10, 20) and forms a closed quadrilateral that delimits a closed grazing area (16). Said rows with towers and the area delimited by the electric fence can be selectively moved from one lot to the next, together with the animals kept therein. Said electric fence must have means of separation (31, 32) of the electric conductor from the ground (14, 15) and at least one of the mentioned towers must have means of tensioning (34) the electric conductor.
MODULAR FENCE ASSEMBLY
A modular fence assembly, including multiple fence modules each comprising: a barrier comprising a pair of substantially parallel end posts, and a base configured to stabilize the respective fence module on a surface. The modular fence assembly further includes multiple connectors each configured to connect two adjacent fence modules of the multiple fence modules, wherein: each of the multiple connectors is configured as a double hinge having a pair of parallel internal channels, and each of the internal channels is configured to embrace an end post of one of the two adjacent fence modules. The multiple fence modules and the multiple connectors are configured to be assembled into a fence.

Fence opening apparatus
The present invention relates to a fence opening installation apparatus for connecting a pair of spaced fence posts, comprising: a latch member, at least two anchor members, at least one base member, wherein the latch member is releasably connected together between two spaced sections of a first fence post and a second fence post, wherein the first anchor member is disposed at the end of the first fence and the second anchor member is disposed at the end of a second fence post, and wherein the first and second fence post are operatively connected to the corresponding anchor members to disengage from the base member to raise out the corresponding post lower section of the fence post in conjunction with the user manipulation to create an opening for the user.
Transport trailer with deployable corral
A deployable corral system for any upright wall, including a wall of a transport trailer, provides a readily deployable corral along the trailer, and is readily stowable along the trailer in a retracted configuration for travel. The corral includes a pair of spaced-apart and extendable corral rails with a pivoting cross-rail extending from the distal end of each extendable corral rail. When the extendable corral rails are extended the cross-rails are spaced from an exterior side of the livestock trailer, and when the extendable corral rails are retracted the cross-rail is positioned near an upright wall of the trailer. The deployable corral system optionally includes a manual deployment assist system to assist a user during deployment and stowage of the corral. Additional features may include a deployable shade awning, a deployable trough, and extendable vertical support stands.
Portable corral suspension with torsion axle
A portable livestock corral is configured to be operably attached to a vehicle for advancement in a forward direction. The portable livestock corral broadly includes a wheeled chassis and opposed sets of corral panels. The wheeled chassis includes an elongated corral frame and a pair of ground-engaging transport wheels shiftable relative to the corral frame and operable to support the corral frame above ground. The opposed sets of corral panels are removably supported on the corral frame and are configured to be advanced with the corral frame in the forward direction by the vehicle. The wheeled chassis further includes a pair of spindles rotatably receiving the pair of transport wheels and a suspension. The suspension is configured to shiftably support the spindles and transport wheels relative to the corral frame. The suspension includes a torsion assembly with a pivotal torsion arm attached relative to at least one of the pair of spindles, with part of the torsion assembly configured to resiliently flex to permit shifting of the torsion arm and the transport wheels.
Portable Livestock Corral with Dual and Single Alley Modes of Operation, Bud Box Capability, and Transport Safety Bar
A portable livestock corral features a central alleyway subdivided into two alleys and having two sets of foldable corral panels for forming livestock pens on opposing sides of the alleyway. On either side of the alleyway, a bud box is selectively deployable at a corner of the respective livestock pen that resides across from an openable/closable alleyway side-gate of the other pen, whereby loading of the alleyway from either pen can exploit such a bud box. Inside the alleyway, an internal swing gate is lockable in different positions to enable opening of both alleys, or selectively closure of either one of the two alleys, which can serve as a livestock-free zone safely occupiable of a human operator. In transport mode, a safety bar with deployable stops at its opposing ends mechanically restrains the folded-up corral panels on both sides of the alleyway for optimal road safety.
FENCE OPENING APPARATUS
The present invention relates to a fence opening installation apparatus for connecting a pair of spaced fence posts, comprising: a latch member, at least two anchor members, at least one base member, wherein the latch member is releasably connected together between two spaced sections of a first fence post and a second fence post, wherein the first anchor member is disposed at the end of the first fence and the second anchor member is disposed at the end of a second fence post, and wherein the first and second fence post are operatively connected to the corresponding anchor members to disengage from the base member to raise out the corresponding post lower section of the fence post in conjunction with the user manipulation to create an opening for the user.
Autonomous Self-Moving Animal Corral System and Device
Method, means, and system for a mobile, self-moving, automated animal corral or confinement system.
TRANSPORT TRAILER WITH DEPLOYABLE CORRAL
