Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1538283A1] A self raking bow top fence panel comprises two horizontal rails (2, 3) supporting a plurality of composite pales (10), each pale comprising two separate vertical legs (12, 13, 13'), each leg being independently pivotably mounted to at least one of the rails. The bows or curved elements (11) forming the top of the fence are preferably provided by the top section of one (12) of the tubular legs of each pale which is bent over to form a downwardly facing socket (15) which receives the upper end (14, 14') of the second leg (13, 13'). The legs may be retained in apertures (32) in the rails by means of fixed transverse pins (20) which enable each leg to pivot independently in the rail, the relative movement between the two legs of each pale being accommodated by movement of the reduced diameter upper end of the second leg in the socket. The bent leg (12) is preferably pinned to both rails while the straight leg (13, 13') may be pinned to both rails or to the lower rail (3) only. <IMAGE>
