Abstract
A fence post is repaired in situ by driving two T-section stakes 1 alongside the post and bolting them thereto. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Fencing stake
This invention relates two a particular design of fencing stake.
Fence posts made of wood are in general use and these are usually driven into the ground for part of their length to provideastablefixingandsupportfor panels, rails, wires, mesh and other suitable materials, such posts are also used to support other things such as gates, signs and a wide variety of other objects.
The present invention is a stake, made of metal or other suitable material, of a particular design and shape. In use two of the stakes would be attached to a fence post in such a waythatthe portion ofthe post normally inserted in the ground is replaced bythetwo stakes which have been attached. Two of the stakes can also be used to replace the part of a post which has been in use and on which the section in ground has rotted away. This repair can be carried out without dismantling the fence or structures which are attached to it.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows in perspective, a singlefencing stake;
Figure 2 illustrates the method of attachment of two of the stakes to a fence post;
Figure 3 shows a plan view of the two stakes after being fitted to a fence post.
To carry out a repair of any existing fence post on which the section in the ground has rotted away, this can be done without dismantling the fence by using the following method:
1. Referring to Fig's. 1 and 2 on the attached drawing, drill three holes in thefence post, item 2 to match those in the upper end of the fencing stake item 1.
2. Drive on stake into the ground on each side of the post to be repaired, until the postions of the holes on the post and and stakes coincide, a strengthened position on the top end of the central angle, item 4, is provided and the hammer should be used on this.
3. Insert the three bolts, item 3, screw on the nuts and tighten so that the stakes and posts are firmly clamped together.
The stakes as designed can also be fitted to new posts and each post can then be driven in the normal way. The stakes would be supplied made in different lengths to suit different types of terrain, and also in different widths to fit posts of different sizes.
The end face of the Tee section of the stake has a very small cross sectional area and the longitudinal faces are of equal width throughouttheirlength except for a short taper atthethe extreme ends, thus ensures that the stakes are more easily driven than are posts with the conventional tapered end, there is less soil disturbance, and when in position there is greater resistance to loads applied to the upper end of the post.
1. Afencing stake which can be used to repair fence posts without having to dismantle eitherthe posts or fences or anything else which may be attached to the posts.
2. Afencing stake as in claim 1,which can befitted to new fence posts, to replace the section which would normally be inserted in the ground, by the attachment oftwo stakeswhich wouíd be made of a strongerand more durable material.
3. Afencing stake as in claim 1 and 2, which because of the way it is designed can be more easily driven into the soil and which when in position will have greater stability than that of posts with conventional taper sections.
Amendments to the claims have been filed, and havethefollowing effect: (a) Claims 1-3 above have been deleted ortextually amended.
(b) New ortextually amended claims have been filed asfollows:
CLAIMS
1. A post support means for supporting posts, including an upper portion adapted to remain generally above ground level and a lower portion adapted to remain generally beneath ground level,the post support being of generally constant cross-section, and having side plate element whose upper portion is adapted to abut the post and be secured to it, and whose tower portion is adapted to engage the ground directly beneath the post and provide supportforthe post, and at least one fin like element extending perpendicularlyfromthe side plate and away from the post and whose below ground portion provides additional supportforthe post.
2. A post support means according to claim 1 in which the lower extremity of the lower portion tapers to a point to thereby provide improved ground penetration.
3. A post support means according to claim 1 or 2 in which the upper portion of the side plate element is perforatedtoenableitto be secured to the post with boltsorsimilarfastening means.
4. A post support means according to any precedins claim inwhich the post support means is of generallyTshapedcross-section.
