The present invention relates to a fence with a one-way viewing insert and, more particularly, to a fence with a one-way viewing insert that includes multiple interchangeable panel inserts.
Several designs for a fence with a one-way viewing insert have been designed in the past. None of them, however, include a vertical aperture that can receive panel inserts.
Applicant believes that a related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 5,015,119 issued for a vision blocking barrier having insertable opaque panels. Applicant believes that another related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 8,366,078 issued for a privacy system for chain link fences comprising inserts and a locking member for locking and retaining the privacy inserts in the chain link fence. None of these references, however, teach of a fence including a vertical aperture that receives a one-way viewing pane.
Other documents describing the closest subject matter provide for a number of more or less complicated features that fail to solve the problem in an efficient and economical way. None of these patents suggest the novel features of the present invention.
It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide a fence with a one-way viewing insert that includes a panel with one-way viewing properties.
It is another object of this invention to provide a fence with a one-way viewing insert that includes a fence assembly with a pane opening that can receive a pane assembly.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a fence with a one-way viewing insert that increases the privacy of a domicile.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide such a device that is inexpensive to implement and maintain while retaining its effectiveness.
Further objects of the invention will be brought out in the following part of the specification, wherein detailed description is for the purpose of fully disclosing the invention without placing limitations thereon.
With the above and other related objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction and combination of parts as will be more fully understood from the following description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
Referring now to the drawings, where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that it basically includes a domicile assembly 20, a fence assembly 40, and a pane assembly 60.

In one embodiment, best shown in
The horizontal support 45 may serve as stabilization and help create the structure of fence assembly 40. It may be preferable for fence assembly 40 to include at least one horizontal support spanning across the multiple vertical fence posts 41. The horizontal support 45 spanning across the bottom portion of the fence posts may help create a bottom support 43. The horizontal support 45 spanning across the top portion may help create a top support 44. The predetermined distance between the bottom support 43 and the top support 44 may create a body portion of fence posts 41 that includes the distal borders of a pane opening 42. The pane opening 42 may be a vertical aperture that creates a through-hole through the body portion of fence posts 41. Said through-hole of pane opening 42 may be placed in alignment to a following fence posts 41 when placed in series. The alignment of the pane opening 42 between fence posts 41 may create an entryway for pane assembly 60 to be received.
