BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present disclosure relates generally to wood fences more particularly to the fence cable of being seamless, private and secure.
In the United States of America, the conventional wood fence is the most popular fence for people to protect their properties, safeties and privacy. As we have seen the conventional wood fence showing so many gaps, holes and cracks on the fence because of the characteristic of wood becoming dry and contraction. However most people dislike a gaped fence because of losing their privacy even their securities through a “transparent fence”. In order to solve the problem, some people chose overlapping wood boards to cover and prevent the gaps from happening, but it might be costly for the labor, time and money. Others just leave the fence as is because they couldn't find a simple and easy way to deal with the issue.
According to my research, there is no such a product specially made for solving the fence privacy issue in the market. Accordingly, the wood fence privacy kit series would solve the aforementioned problems is therefore desired.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The exemplary embodiment of the disclosed subject matter is the wood fence privacy kit series comprising an “H” strip, the extended “H” strip, a “Z” strip and a “T” strip, plus a flat strip with five different forms, including five round and rectangular covering pieces along with a novel EZ fastener.
In order to avoid wood fence gap problems, the best way is to prevent them from happening when building a new fence. The first option is to use an “H” strip, the “H” strip or the extended “H” strip comes with one slot on each side, by inserting the wood boards into each slot would cover and prevent the gap from showing when the fence becoming old or dry. Another choice is to have a “z” strip put in between two wood boards would cover the gap from both the font and back. The third way is to have a “T” strip put in between and behind the fence boards would cover and prevent the gap from happening after the fence becoming old or shrinking. The “T” strip also could be used directly cover a gap with the old fence.
Using simple flat strips and easy covering pieces to cover gaps, holes and cracks would solve an old fence privacy issue easily and quickly. To deal with an old and gaped fence, the solution is to use suitable simple flat strips to cover the gaps, and to be fastened by novel EZ fasteners with the fence. The five round and rectangular covering pieces are made and designed for covering fence holes and cracks, also would be fastened to the fence by novel EZ fasteners. The novel EZ fasteners are not only used for attaching the fence privacy kit but also used to fasten all kinds of objects.
The fence privacy kit series will add more values to the properties as well as ensure more securities to the homes while solving the fence privacy issue. The fence privacy kit would be made of PVC, Vinyl, plastic or thing metal; the finish would be flat or with wood grain finish, the color would be light brown and gray or dark brown and gray; and the novel EZ fasteners would be made of plastic, aluminum, cupper or other metal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The conventional wood fence is the most popular fence being used in the United States of America. Besides the advantages of wood fence, there are also some disadvantages along with it. I want to point out that the wood fence showing a lot gaps and holes when they becoming old and dry. People are loosing their privacy even their securities through the gaped fences. So what is the solution for it? It is simple just cover the gaps and holes with special made products. Based on my research there is no such products made for solving fence privacy issue in the market. Then I came out an idea and invented the wood fence privacy kit series. The kit comprising an “H” strip, the extended “H” strip, a “Z” strip and a “T” strip which are made for building new fences; the kit also comprising five forms of flat strips including five round and rectangular covering pieces along with a novel EZ fastener which are made for fixing old fences.
The best solution for solving fence gap issue is to prevent them from happening. So I designed and invented an “H” strip, the extended “H” strip, a “Z” and “T” strips according to an embodiment of the inventions disclosed herein. The “H” and the extended “H” strips 10, 10-1, 10A, 10A-1, 10B, 10B-1, 10C, 10C-1, 10D, 10D-1 illustrating the structure of the invention is formed by two 87 degrees to 90 degrees 16 slots 14 back to back sharing a same wall 13, 18 as shown in FIGS. 1, 1-1, 1A, 1A-1, 1B, 1B-1, 1C, 1C-1, 1D, 1D-1; The width 12, 12-1, 12A, 12A-1, 12B, 12B-1, 12C, 12C-1, 12D, 12D-1, 15, 15A preferably is from 1″ inch to 5″ inches; the length preferably is 70″ inches; the edge 11 of the strip would be straight 11A considered as a strip with straight front side 12A, 12A-1 as shown in FIGS. 1A, 1A-1; the angled edge 11B considered as a strip with trapezoid or angled front side 12B, 12B-1 as shown in FIGS. 1B, 1B-1, 1E, 1F; the round edge 11C considered as a strip with round edge front side 12C, 12C-1 as shown in FIGS. 1C, 1C-1; an arc shape 11D considered as a strip with arc shape front side 12D, 12D-1 as shown in FIGS. 1D, 1D-1; and the one without a specific front side as shown in FIGS. 1, 1-1; the “H” and the extended “H” come with two slots 14 back to back sharing a same wall 13, 18; the size of the slots would be ¾″ inch which is as same as the thickness of the wood board 21; the size of the sharing wall 13, 18 is same as the thickness of the wood board 21; the opening side of the slots 14 may little be smaller than wood boards depending on the angle 16 of the slot, if the angle 16 is smaller than 90 degrees, it would make the opening side of the slot smaller than the wood board 21 which would make the wood board more tighten in the slot; the thickness of the “H” strip preferably from 1/32″ inch to ¾″ inch depending on the materials would be used, it could be solid or hollow; the sharing wall 18 on the extended “H” strip would be hollow. Both the “H” and the extended “H” strips would be made of PVC, vinyl, plastic or thin metal; the finish would be flat or with wood grain finish.
As an option for users, the front side of the “H” strips 12, 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D come with five different designs. For instance, FIGS. 1E and 1F are perspective views of the “H” strip with a front side 10B in angled edges showing from a different point of views, as shown in FIG. 1B. The back side of the strip is thin and flat which is covered by wood boards 21 because it is in between fence boards 21 and fence frames 19, 20 as shown in FIG. 1H; the basic “H” strip 10 does not have a specific front side which the front and back sides are the same; the slots 14 of the “H” and extended “H” strips are the same with a sharing wall 13, 18 in the middle of the strip; there are four or six small holes 17 on each side for nailing or screwing as shown in FIGS. 1E, 1F
FIG. 1G is a top view of wood fence showing an “H” strip 10B is put in between two wood boards 21 covering the gap 23 with its slots. Usually the gap 23 between dried fence boards 21 is from ⅛″ inch to ⅞″ inch, to have wood fence boards inserted into the slots of the “H” strips would cover and prevent the gaps from showing when the fence becoming old and dry as shown in FIG. 1H
FIG. 1H is a perspective view of a new wood fence with “H” strips 10B in between wood boards 21 showing from a different point of views. How to use an “H” strip when building a new fence? First to pick a suitable “H” or the extended “H” strip, then have a wood board sliding into one of the slots against the sharing wall 13, 18, before nailing the board 21 to the frames 19, 20, making sure the front side 12B of the strip facing outside of the yard; next to have second board slide into the other slot of the strip against the sharing wall 13, 18, then put second strip on the other side of the second board, checking all the boards are inside of the slots completely and vertically before nailing; incase of moving, users could nail the strips in their positions through the holes 17 to the fence boards 21; repeat the same steps to finish building new fence 10F. Using right size of “H” strips with wood boards together when building a new fence would prevent and cover all the gaps from showing when the fence becoming old and dry.
FIG. 2 is a side view of the “Z” strip 30 according to an embodiment of the inventions disclosed herein illustrating the structure of the invention is in letter “Z” shape formed by two opposite angles 33 sharing a same wall 32; the two angles 33 are from 87 degrees to 90 degrees, the smaller angle would make the strip tighter on the boards. The width 31 is preferably from 1″ to 1.5″, the length preferably is 70″ inches, the size of the sharing wall would be as same as the thickness of the fence board 21, the thickness of the strip is preferably from 1/32″ inch to ¾″ inch, it could be solid or hollow depending on the materials. As options for users as shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, 2C, the strip comes with four different front sides of arc shape 31B, straight edges 31A and round edges 31C including the strip without a specific front side 30 as shown in FIG. 2

To cover a crack 78 with an old wood fence, first to pick two suitable (larger than crack) covering pieces 65 laying one of them over the crack 78, then mark down the four holes to the fence through the holes 69 on the piece 65, then drill four holes at where marked, next to have the covering pieces 65 over the crack aligning with all four holes 69 then put four male parts 70 going through each hole 69, on the other side put four female parts 80 on all males 70, then hold the male 70 and press down the female 80 one by one until the pieces 65 are fastened completely. If a fence is in a good condition, users also could fasten the covering kit 65 to the fence with nails and screws shown in FIG. 6C; first to lay one smaller piece 65 over the crack 78, then nail or screw it to the fence through the holes 69 on the kit, next to put a larger piece 65 over the crack 78 on the other side of the crack making sure all four holes 69 are staggered, then nail or screw the kit 65 through its holes 69 to the fence.
FIG. 7 is a front view of an old wood fence showing how the fence privacy kit covering a hole, a crack and all the gaps with an old wood fence; the way to cover gaps 23 is to use simple flat strips 50 or “T” strips 40 as described in FIGS. 3D, 46, 4C; the way to cover a hole 77 is to use round covering pieces 60 as described in FIG. 5B; the way to cover a crack 78 is to use rectangular covering pieces 65 as described in FIGS. 6B, 6C.
In order to quickly and efficiently fasten the covering kit with old wood fence, I invented a novel fastener called EZ fastener to do the job. A traditional way to fasten an object is to use screws, nails or rivets. However some objects which to be fastened must be in a good condition or with enough room for screwing or nailing in order to get the job down. Usually an old gaped fence has been weathered already and may have been in a week condition, if using a traditional way to fasten objects may cause more damages to the fence as well as would affect the work well done. However, with my novel EZ fasteners to work with the covering kit would solve the fence privacy issue quickly and efficiently, no worries about the conditions of the objects you are working on because the EZ fasteners would work with any materials.
FIG. 8 is side view of the special “EZ” fastener according to an embodiment of the inventions disclosed herein illustrating the fastener comprising two parts of a male and a female. The principle disclosed herein is two opposite jagged lines 74, 75, 82, 83 or saw teeth to be griped each other as a locking mechanism. A male part 70 looks like a screw but not work like a screw, even there are some threads on the body 71, but they are parallel threads as shown in FIG. 8A, basically these threads are gradually changed circles connected each other 74,75; from the side view the edge of the male body 70 looks like a jagged line, its head 73 is little bit smaller than the bottom 86 and top 87 holes of the female 80; the male 70 comes with a cap 72, its body 71 can be short or long depending on the size of the objects to be fastened. From top view, the female part 80 is a round shape with a hole in the center as shown in FIG. 8C; from the side view, the female looks like an arc shape with little thickness as shown in FIGS. 8, 8B; there are three flexible teeth 81 inside of the female 80 forming a hole in the center, there is a small space 88 in between the teeth as well as around the teeth shown in FIGS. 8, 8B, 8C; from the section view, the threads 82, 83 on the teeth 81 are opposite jagged lines with the lines 74,75 on the male 70; when the male 70 goes into the female 80, the head 73 of the male will go through the bottom hole 86 of the female 80, then will push to open a smaller hole 82, at this point, their opposite jagged lines 74, 75, 82, 83 will be griped each other, the flexible teeth will do a movement of open and close when the male 70 goes through the hole 82 which is formed by three flexible teeth 81; continually pushing the male 70 through the hole 87 until the objects to be fastened together as shown in FIGS. 9, 10
How to fasten two or more objects together with a novel EZ fastener? First to take a suitable (right length) male part 70 passing through the objects which will be fastened, on the other side, put a female part 80 on and let the male 70 going through the bottom hole 86 of the female 80, then press both parts 76 together with your fingers, the male will go in but out because their opposite saw teeth will be griped each other as a locking mechanism until objects to be fastened completely. To get a nice finish, users would cut the extra part of the male 70 with a cutter as shown in FIGS. 9, 10
There are many advantages of using an EZ fastener, for example, users could use EZ fasteners to attach all kinds of objects together easily as well as to fasten any size of objects quickly, and they could be operated by users hands without using a special tool; users also could get a nice finish on both sides. The novel EZ fasteners would be made of plastic, aluminum, copper or other metal. Because of useful functionality, the novel EZ fasteners would be broadly used in residential and commercial areas.
