UNITED sTAi Es PATENT OFFICE.
DANIEL EDWARD WILLIAMSON, 0F DYERSBURG, TENNESSEE.
FENCE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DANIEL E. WILLIAM- SONf, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dyersburg, in the county of Dyer and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fences, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawmgs.
My invention relates to improvements in fences.
The object of the invention is to provide a fence composed of sections or panels molded from cement, concrete or other desired material, and having their low-er portions embedded in the ground, and their upper portions connected by improved clamping devices, whereby an exceedingly strong and durable fence is provided, and one which may be produced at a comparatively small cost.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a fence constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a detail section showing one of the clamps for uniting two sections or panels of the fence; Fig. 3 is a similar view showing a corner .clamp for uniting two fence sections or panels which are disposed at right angles to each other; Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of a corner of one of the fence sections or panels shown in Fig. 3 Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a modified form of the invention in which the sections or panels are made in the form of solid plates or slabs and ornamented to simulate a picket fence, and Fig. 6 is a detail horizontal section through parts shown in Fig. 5.
My improved fence consists of a plurality of sections or panels 1, each of which is molded from cement, concrete or other de sired material, and preferably of rectangular shape. In the embodiment shown in Fig. l the panels 1 are formed with upright slots or openings 2 so that the fence resembles an ordinary picket fence, but it will be understood that said panels may be otherwise constructed, as for example, they may be made solid as shown in Figs. 5 and 6,
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed November 3, 1909.
Patented Aug. 30, 1910. Serial No. 526,110.
and may have their opposite faces formed with depressions 3 so that the remaining portions will resemble pickets, and in said depressions may be molded flowers or conventional figures to give the fence an attrac tive appearance.
The sections or panels 1 of the fence are made of such height that a considerable part of the lower portion of each panel may be embedded in the ground to effectively a11- chor the panel so that it can not possibly be pushed over by live stock. The ground line is indicated by the broken line aa in Figs. 1 and 5, but it will be understood that the panels may be embedded to a greater or less extent.
To unite the upper portions of the panels 1 I provide improved metallic clamps shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The clamp shown in F ig. 2 is adapted to unite two longitudinally alined panels 1 and it consists of two metal plates 4 which receive the adjacent panels between them and which have centrally arranged apertures for a clamping bolt-5, the latter passing between the spaced end edges of adjacent panels, as shown. For the purpose of preventing the clamps from slipping on the panels, the opposing faces of the clamp plates or bars are formed with ribs or corrugations 6 to engage ribs or corrugations 7 molded in the side faces of the panels 1, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. By constructing the clamps in this manner, and employing bolts 5, the upper portions of the panels will be firmly united and the clamps may be tightened from time to time so as to maintain'the fence at all times in upright or perpendicular position.
In Fig. 3 there is illustrated the manner in which the edges of the adjacent panels at the corner of the fence are secured. This connection comprises the two right angular clamp plates 8, 9, the arms of which are of different lengths. Between the longer arms of these plates one of the panels 1* is arranged, while the other panel 1 is disposed at right angles to the panel 1 between the short arms of the plates. Each of the panels is provided upon its opposite faces with the ribs or corrugations 7 to engage similar corrugations on the clamp plates 8, 9, whereby the plates are rigidly held upon the panels. Bolts 10 extend through the ends of the plates on opposite sides of the panels, as clearly shown in Fig.
3, whereby an extremely strong connection of the abutting ends of the angularly disposed panels is provided.
In Fig. 6 I have shown a slightly diiferent form of clamp especially adapted for uniting the endmost panel 1 to a gate post 11. This clamp consists of-two plates 12, 13 united by a clamping bolt and having at one end curved portions to receive the post 11 between them. This post is preferably molded from plastic material and has in its side faces ribs or corrugations to receive similar ribs or corrugations on the curved ends of the clamp plates 12, 13.
It will be noted that no posts are employed between the sections or panels of the fence, and that I only need them at the end of the fence or where a gate is to be interposed in the fence.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the invention provides a fence which may be produced at a small cost and readily set up, and which will be exceedingly strong and durable in use.
WVhile I have shown and described in detail the preferred embodiments of my invention, I wish it understood that changes in the form, proportion and arrangement of parts, and in the details of construction may be resorted to within the spirit and scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed is:
The herein described fence, comprising longitudinally alined upright rectangular panels, each molded in one piece, and having its bottom portion embedded in the ground to anchor it, the adjacent upright end edges of the adjacent panels being spaced apart, and the side faces of the panels at their up per corners being formed with a longitudinal series of outwardly projecting upright corrugations 7, molded integral with the panels, clamps uniting the adjacent panels, and consisting of oppositely aranged plates to extend across the space between the panels, and formed on their opposing faces with longitudinal series of grooves to receive the corrugations 7, and bolts uniting the clamping plates to hold them together, and on the panels, as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
DANIEL EDWARD WILLIAMSON.
