ABSTRACT:
An electric fence wire insulator is formed as an integral, one-piece body of non-conductive synthetic resin and includes a transverse spark shield from which extends in one direction a pair of laterally spaced main legs terminating in a pair of laterally spaced feet configured to abut the arcuate or flat surface of a wooden or metal fence post. Openings through the feet receive nails or screws by which to secure the feet to the fence post. Projecting in the opposite direction from the spark shield are five laterally spaced fingers provided with inwardly facing arcuate grooves which are aligned transversely for the reception of an electric fence wire. Laterally spaced secondary legs inwardly of the main legs are shaped to provide two pairs of split circular retainers of different diameters for the frictional retention of different size rod type fence posts. Inwardly facing sockets on the main legs adjacent the feet frictionally grip between them the laterally extending arms of a T type fence post, the central leg of which may extend into the space between the split retainers of the secondary legs. A pair of shoulders on the main legs are spaced from the spark shield to form a pair of grooves therebetween for the reception of the U-shaped mounting end of a stand-off wire the opposite of which is formed with an open loop for the removable reception of an electric fence wire.
