HYRUIVI PETERSON, OF HOOPER, UTAH.
FENCE-POST AND FENCE-WIRE FASTENER.
Application filed March 6, 1909.
To all whom "it may concern:
Be it known that I, HYRUM PETERSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hooper, in the county of Veber, State of Utah, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts and Fence- V ire Fasteners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to fences, more particularly to posts of fences and the fasteners for the strand wires thereof, and has for one of its objects to improve the construction and increase the efiiciency and utility of devices of this character.
lVith this and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims, and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a fence post together with a plurality of the improved wire fastening means applied. Fig. 2 is a sectional detail enlarged on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section enlarged on the line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a view of one of the wire fastening devices detached and in the form that it will appear before being applied.
The improved device comprises a post 10, preferably tubular and of metal. The post is preferably formed from a sectionof metal tubing, and may be of any required size, and will preferably be galvanized or otherwise coated or protected to prevent corrosion. The post 10 is provided with a plurality of spaced apertures 11 extending in a line longitudinally of the post, the apertures being so arranged that they are employed in pairs to correspond to the strand wires represented at 12 as hereinafter explained. The apertures are formed with their sides converging inwardly as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
The fastening devices are in the form of staples 13 one of which is represented in Fig. 4, and when ready to be applied to the post and bent into U shape with the sides in parallel relations. The inner faces of the sides of the staples 18 are reversely inclined as shown at 14-15 and with notches 1617 at the inner terminals of the inclined faces, as shown. To apply the staple the Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 21, 1911.
Serial No. 481,568.
The improved device is simple in construction, can be inexpensively manufactured, and applied, and effectually holds the strand wires in position upon the post.
WVhat is claimed, is
1. The combination with a tubular fence post having a plurality of spaced frustoconical apertures having their enlarged ends facing outward, of wire supporting devices for said apertures, and each comprising a wire bent U-shaped with the inner faces of the side members thereof inclined at their free ends and with notches at the terminals of the inclined portions, said side members being inserted through said apertures until the notches engage over the inner edges of the apertures, whereby the supporting devices are adapted to support a strand wire against the post.
2. The combination with a tubular fence post provided with a plurality of frustoconical apertures spaced apart,. of strand wires extending transversely of said post, and fastening devices each formed of resilient wire bent into U-shape with the side members normally in parallel relations, the confronting faces of said side members being provided with notches and the inner faces inclined atthe free ends, the apertures of the post being spaced apart a greater distance than the normal space between the sides of the fastening devices.
3. The combination wit-h a tubular fence post provided with a plurality of evenly spaced frusto-conical apertures, said apertures having their large ends facing outward; of a wire fastening device comprising a length of resilient wire bent to U-shape, the arms of the U being adapted for insertion in any two adjacent apertures, said In testimony whereof, I aflix my sigmaarms being further provided W1th notches ture, 111 presence of two wltnesses.
adapted to en 'a 'e the inner ed 'es of said T adjacent apertr lre s t0 releasably orevent de- HYRUM PTETERSOL' tachinent of the fastening device from the Witnesses: post and being releasable therefrom by PAUL M. LEE, springing apart W1th a sultable tool. GILBERT PORTER.
