Abstract
Abstract A trimming fence comprised of individual modules each having a pair of planar parallel surfaces and sidewalls forming the V shape end. Each sidewall is formed by intersecting planar surfaces forming a V including an obtuse angle. The planar surfaces of the sidewalls converging at a linear edge at the apex of the V, the edge having a V shaped outline which is in a plane at an angle other than a right angle to the parallel planar surfaces of the member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A modular fence member comprising a flat member of predetermined thickness having parallel planar surfaces, the member terminating in a V shaped end with sidewalls forming the V shaped end, each sidewall having intersecting planar side surfaces forming a V including an obtuse angle, the planar side surfaces converging at a linear edge at the apex of the V shaped end and the linear edge has a V shape outline which is in a plane at an angle other than a right angle to the parallel planar surfaces of the member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A modular fence member comprising a flat member of predetermined thickness having parallel planar surfaces, the member terminating in a V shaped end with sidewalls forming the V shaped end, each sidewall having intersecting planar side surfaces forming a V including an obtuse angle, the planar side surfaces converging at a linear edge at the apex of the V shaped end and the linear edge has a V shape outline which is in a plane at an angle other than a right angle to the parallel planar surfaces of the member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A member as defined in claim 1 wherein the intersecting side surfaces at each sidewall intersect at lines contained in a plane parallel and intermediate between the parallel planar surfaces of the member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
A member as defined in claim 2 wherein each of the sidewalls forming the V shaped end includes one side planar surface at right angles to an adjacent planar surface of the member with the other planar side surface being at an angle thereto.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A member as defined in claim 1 wherein the longitudinal extent of the V shaped end is equal to or greater than 50% of the overall extent of the member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A member as defined in claim 1 wherein the material forming the member is wood.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A member as defined in claim 3 wherein a bore extends from one sidewall to the other in the median plane containing the intersection lines.
