Wire clip device

Abstract

A wire clip that allows fencing wire to move length wise and still be attached to a T-post so fencing wire can be stretched while being attached to the T-posts. These wire clips are configured to facilitate fixing fences, for example, after a severe snow storm that causes broken and loose fencing wire. The wire clip is configured to prevent the removal thereof off the T-posts in order to stretch fencing wire tight again. The wire clips provide an effective and efficience mechanism for fixing fencing wire. The wire clips are also configured to resist and/or prevent breakage from rust caused by original clips where they wrap around the fencing wire.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wire clip device for facilitating fixing fencing wire, the device comprising:
 a wire, the wire having a first end and a second end;   the first end configured to form a first hook portion,   a connection point, the connection point having a first leg and a second leg, wherein the connection point is configure to snap-fir over a fencing wire attached to a T-post, wherein the connection point is configured to allow the fencing wire to translate length wise relative to the T-post while still be attached to the T-post and thus allowing the fencing wire to be stretched; and   the second end configured to form a second hook portion, wherein the second hook portion engages a portion of the T-post.   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the wire being No. 12 galvanized wire. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first hook portion is a spherical shape. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first hook portion is a non-uniform shape. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first hook portion is an oval shape. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first hook portion is a polygonal shape. 
     
     
         7 . The method for installing a wire clip device to facilitate stretch a fencing wire, the method comprising:
 grasping a connection point of a wire between their thumb and finger;   placing the connection point on the fencing wire on a side opposite of the fencing wire from a second leg of the wire clip;   twisting the wire clockwise such that both a first leg and a second leg of the wire clip device being around the fencing wire;   aligning the fencing wire to a desired position on a T-post;   engaging a first hook portion of the wire with an edge of the T-post; and   pulling on a second leg of the wire such that the connection point ends close and wraps the wire clip around the T-post as far as allowed by the wire clip.   
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the wire being No. 12 galvanized wire. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the first hook portion is a spherical shape. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the first hook portion is a non-uniform shape. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the first hook portion is an oval shape. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the first hook portion is a polygonal shape.
