Abstract:
A resiliently rotationally articulating fencing system comprising at least two fence posts and at least one strand of fencing material strung between said fence posts, wherein at least one of said fence posts is a rotationally resiliently articulating fence post adapted to yield to a preset force by resiliently, rotationally articulating upon application of said force from a substantially upright position perpendicular to the ground to a position substantially parallel with the ground wherein said resiliently rotationally articulating fence post comprises:a rigid linear member adapted for affixing said at least one strand of fencing material; a resilient, isotropically flexible member, adopted to yield to a preset force, having a top end for rigid communication with the rigid linear member and a bottom end wherein said resilient, isotropically flexible member is able to rotationally articulate upon application of said preset force such that said at least one fence post is capable of rotational rotation from a substantially upright position perpendicular to the ground to a position substantially parallel with the ground; a base attached to the bottom end of the resilient isotropically flexible member; and an anchor means, connected to the base, to allow the base to be immovably attached or fixed to the ground wherein said fencing material is selected from the group comprising barbed wire, smooth wire, and wire for electrification.
