J. OFFENHAUSER. CONCRETE FENCE POST. APPLICATION FILED JULY 5, 1911.
Patented Dec. 19, 1911.
J I, 0 amwwfoc gull/3" Jacob UFFEnhausEr'.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JACOB OFFENHAUSER, OF SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA.
CONCRETE FENCEPOST.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, J ACOB OFFENHAUSER, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Sacramento, in the county of Sacramento and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Concrete Fence-Posts, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to fence posts, and the principal object of the same is to provide a plate which fits upon the post and provides means for connecting braces with the post.
This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved post. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken through the post. Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the post. Fig. i is an enlarged perspective View of the collar which connects the brace with the post. Fig. 5 is a view of the blank from which the collar is formed.
This invention comprises a post 1 which is formed from cement or other plastic ma terial and is provided with a central vertically extending reinforcing bar 2. This bar preferably formed from twisted wire and carries a number of loops 3 which extend beyond the face of the post and form eyes to receive the fence wires 1. From an inspection of Figs. 1 and 2 it will be noted that this post tapers vertically so that the upper end of the post is of smaller dimensions than the lower.
A collar is placed upon the upper portion of the post and is formed from a strip of sheet metal which is illustrated in Fig. 5. This strip is rectangular in shape and is provided with slits 5 and 6 which lead from one side so that the blank can be bent to form the vertical Walls 7, 8, and 9 and then bent at right angles to form the flanges 10, 11, and 12. The flanges are provided with openings 13 and the walls 8 and 9 are provided with openings 14; the purpose of which will be brought out hereinafter. This Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed J'u1y 5, 1911.
Patented Dec. 19, 1911.
Serial No. 636,823.
collar is placed upon the upper portion of the post and lowered until it reaches a point where the dimensions of the post are greater than the dimensions of the collar, and the collar will then jam. Braces 15 are then driven into the ground with their upper ends resting against the post at a point where the collar stops. The collar is then secured to the braces by means of nails which are driven through the openings 13. A wire 16 is then passed through the openings 14 and has its ends twisted together. It will thus be seen that the post will be securely braced as the collar provides a convenient means for securing braces to a coment post and it will also be seen that this collar can be formed without any loss of metal as the blank from which it is formed is rectangular. It should also be noted that the post is provided with wire securing eyes which are securely held to the reinforcing bar 2 and are twisted and project beyond the face of the post.
What I claim as my invention is The combination with a fence post, of braces for said post and means to secure said braces to said post, said means comprising a collar formed from a rectangular strip of sheet metal having spaced slits extending inward from one of its longer edges, said strip of sheet metal being bent in alinement with said slits to embrace three sides of said post, said strip of sheet metal being further bent at right angles to said slits and in alinement with their inner ends to provide attaching flanges for said braces, the end portions of said strip overlapping the sides of said post and being provided with alined openings, and a wire extending through said openings and having its ends twisted together to retain said collar on said post.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JACOB OFFENI-IAUSER.

HARRY MARTIN, JOHN KIMMEL.
