Adjustable saddle for erection of a fencing

Abstract

There is provided a system, method and adjustable saddle for erection of a fencing on a moveable barrier. The adjustable saddle including: a first member including a first horizontal portion and a first angled portion extending from an end of the first horizontal portion at a predetermined downward angle, the first horizontal portion defining a closed channel therein; a second member including a second horizontal portion and a second angled portion extending from an end of the second horizontal portion at the predetermined downward angle; an elongated fastener affixed to the top of the second horizontal portion, the elongated fastener passing through the closed channel and secured with a complementary fastener for mounting to the moveable barrier; and one or more elongated supports affixed to the top of the first horizontal portion for supporting a post of the fencing.

1 . An adjustable saddle for erection of a fencing on a moveable barrier, the moveable barrier comprising a first side, a second side, and a top side, the adjustable saddle comprising:
 a first member comprising a first horizontal portion and a first angled portion extending from an end of the first horizontal portion at a downward angle, the first horizontal portion defining a closed channel therein, the first angled portion defining one or more first apertures therein, the one or more first apertures each configured to receive a fastener therethrough for fastening the first angled portion to the first side of the moveable barrier;   a second member comprising a second horizontal portion and a second angled portion extending from an end of the second horizontal portion at a complementary downward angle, the second angled portion defining one or more second apertures therein, the one or more second apertures each configured to receive a fastener therethrough for fastening the second angled portion to the second side of the moveable barrier;   an elongated fastener affixed to a top-side of the second horizontal portion, the elongated fastener passing through the closed channel and secured with a complementary fastener for fitting the adjustable saddle to the moveable barrier; and   one or more elongated supports affixed to a top-side of the first horizontal portion for supporting a post of the fencing.   
     
     
         2 . The adjustable saddle of  claim 1 , wherein the downward angle and complementary downward angle are in the range of 45 degrees to 90 degrees. 
     
     
         3 . The adjustable saddle of  claim 1 , wherein a profile of a space defined by the second horizontal portion, the first angled portion, and the second angled portion substantially conforms to a profile formed by a top and sides of the moveable barrier. 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . The adjustable saddle of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated fastener is a threaded bolt and the complementary fastener is a threaded nut. 
     
     
         6 . A system for erection of a fencing on one or more moveable barriers, the fencing comprising a plurality of posts, the system comprising:
 an adjustable saddle for each one of the fencing posts, each of the adjustable saddles mountable on one of the moveable barriers, each of the adjustable saddles comprising:
 a first member comprising a first horizontal portion and a first angled portion extending from an end of the first horizontal portion at a predetermined downward angle, the first horizontal portion defining a closed channel therein, the first angled portion defining one or more first apertures therein, the one or more first apertures each configured to receive a fastener therethrough for fastening the first angled portion to the first side of the moveable barrier; 
 a second member comprising a second horizontal portion and a second angled portion extending from an end of the second horizontal portion at a complementary downward angle, the second angled portion defining one or more second apertures therein, the one or more second apertures each configured to receive a fastener therethrough for fastening the second angled portion to the second side of the moveable barrier; 
 an elongated fastener affixed to a top-side of the second horizontal portion, the elongated fastener passing through the closed channel and secured with a complementary fastener for fitting the adjustable saddle to the moveable barrier; and 
 one or more elongated supports affixed to a top-side of the first horizontal portion for supporting a post of the fencing. 
   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the predetermined downward angle and the complementary downward angle is in the range of 45 degrees to 90 degrees. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein a profile of the space defined by a second horizontal portion, the first angled portion, and the second angled portion substantially conforms to a profile formed by a top and sides of the moveable barrier. 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the elongated fastener is a threaded bolt and the complementary fastener is a threaded nut. 
     
     
         11 . A method for erecting a fencing on a moveable barrier, the method comprising:
 sliding a first member of an adjustable saddle relative to a second member of the adjustable saddle until a portion of each of the first member and the second member abut a side of the moveable barrier, the first member comprising a first horizontal portion and a first angled portion, the second member comprising a second horizontal portion and a second angled portion;   engaging an elongated fastener to prohibit sliding of the first member relative to the second member;   fastening the first angled portion to a first side of the moveable barrier;   fastening the second angled portion to a second side of the moveable barrier;   mounting a post of the fencing on a support affixed to the first horizontal portion of the first member.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising securing fasteners through each of the first member and second member into a respective side of the moveable barrier. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the support comprises one or more elongated upward-extending supports, and wherein the post of the fencing is mounted by passing the post over one of the one or more elongated upward-extending supports. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the support comprises a clasping mechanism for grasping the post of the fencing. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising performing the sliding of the first member, the engaging of the fastener, and the mounting of the post repeatedly for each post in the fencing.
