First Exemplary Embodiment

FIGS. 2 and 3 show a first preferred embodiment of the fence post 100 in accordance with the present invention, comprising a first body 10 made of a metal panel through a constant bending treatment. The first body 10 is provided with a first base part 101 extending along the vertical direction for fixing to the fixed objects (such as the ground). The front end of the first base part 101 comprises a left front end 102 and a right front end 103, and the back end of the first base part 101 comprises a bending part 104, which connects the left front end 102 and the right front end 103 and bends backwards. Thus, the first base part 101 is provided with a hollow structure having a cavity inside, the cross section of which is preferably in a semicircular or hexagon shape, while the shape of the bending part 104 is shown in FIG. 3. The hollow structure of the first base part 101 is suitable for internally concealing electrical installations like electric wires, infrared detectors, or the motion detectors. A transition connection part is respectively arranged between the left front end 102 and the bending part 104, and between the right front end 103 and the bending part 104 by the riveting machine, for reinforcing the strength of the first base part 101.

The left front end 102 extends leftwards forming a first left side wing 105, and the right front end 103 extends rightwards forming a first right side wing 106, wherein, certain parts of the first left side wing 105 bend to form a plurality of first left hook parts 107 distributed along one vertical line, each of which is provided with a rightward oriented opening positioned in front of the first left side wing 105; and certain parts of the first right side wing 106 bend to form a plurality of first right hook parts 108 distributed along another vertical line, each of which is provided with a leftward oriented opening positioned in front of the first right side wing 106. As shown in FIG. 2, there exist five first left hook parts 107 and six first right hook parts 108 in an interlacing arrangement along the vertical direction, preferably, one after the other.

In this embodiment, as the first left hook parts 107 and the first right hook parts 108 are respectively positioned in front of the corresponding side wing, it is easy for the installers to hook the two ends of the fence body up to the first left hook parts 107 or the first right hook parts 108 respectively when installing the fence body between two fence posts 100.

Second Exemplary Embodiment

As shown in FIG. 4, the fence post 200 of this embodiment comprises a first body 10 and a second body 20, wherein, the first body 10 of this embodiment is provided with the same structure with that of the first embodiment which is not intended to describe herein-below, while the structure of the second body 20 is described as below.
