(under the class definition) Device for supporting one or more rails of a fence relative to another rail on which said device is supported.
(1) Note. Included here are patents to a device for holding and gauging wire fence strands or metal slats.
(2) Note. Most patents found in this subclass are classified here as originals on a disclosure basis and cross-reference below on a structural basis.
(3) Note. Patents to a device for holding plural elements, disclosed as fence components, in desired relative position are not proper for this subclass unless such device is supported by a fence rail. See subclasses 37+ for plural holders to hold workpieces relative to each other.
