SNOW-FENCE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed. May 25, 1911.
Patented May 21, 1912.
Serial No. 629,406.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN I. IBLINGS, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Cedar Falls, Blackhawk county, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Snow-Fences, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in snow fences, and the object of my improvement is to provide a foldable, knock-down fence, preferably formed of metal, and which has special means for securing it to the ground, and is convenient, durable and easily set up or transported. This object I have accomplished by the means which are hereinafter described and claimed, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective View of a section of snow fence constructed according to the principles of my invention, and set up ready for use. Fig. 2 is a perspective detail view of the pivotal foot used to seat the lower end of the brace of the fence upright firmly in the ground, and Fig. 3 is a medial longitudinal section of said pivotal foot taken through its U-shaped cut at one side of the turned-up lip.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
My improved fence is preferably formed in sections which may be connected end to end in any suitable manner to form a continuous line. Each section is also preferably inclined somewhat toward the earth, as illustrated, and is supportedby braces f. The fence is constructed of uprights a, which may be metal bars, or of angle iron, or of metal of any desired section which may be suitable to the purpose.
The uprights aare connected by horizontal superposed metal plates Z), 2', is and Z of similar form, but any number of such plates may be employed as desired, or to fill the necessities arising from the nature of the ground. As shown, each plate is of sheet metal, with its upper part curved or bent to present a hollowed upper face, but the curvature of said plates may be such as to present their concave faces toward the earth. This curvature strengthens the plate, but the curve may be of anytype or the plates may be bent in a different manner from that shown without departing from the principle of my invention. The ends of the plates may be secured to the uprights a by rivets or bolts 0. As shown in Fig. 1 the lower end of each up right a, as also the lower end of each brace i may have an angularly directed foot d, integral therewith, which may be secured to the ground by hook-pins c. I prefer, however, the means shown in Fig. 2 for securing the uprights and braces to the ground. In said figure the means described and shown are only applied to the brace f, but the same means may be applied to the foot of each upright. This latter means comprisesa plate of metal at which has a U-shapcd cut made in its center and the lip 42 then turned up and pivoted at o to the lower end of the brace f, the latter being shown in Fig. 2 as preferably formed of angle iron. The particular advantage of this means is to plant the plate in the earth, insuring stability, or if the ground is too hard or frozen, hookpins such as 0 may be driven through the hole in each plate to secure the plate on the ground. The braces f are preferably formed, as also the uprights a, to conform to the curves of the plates 6, 2', 7c and Z, so that they may fold together in small compass for transportation, and of course, the foot plates we may also fold over. The upper ends of the braces f are connected pivotally to the upper ends 9 of the uprights by means of pintles 71..
Since the parts of my improved fence are formed of metal, they will not be damaged by prairie fires, and will also be very enduring against the attacks of the elements, or destruction by boys or animals. The troughed or longitudinally bent form of the plates 7), i, k and Z, lends stiffness to them as it does in other longitudinally bent or areshaped trough-like structures, and permits the use of quite thin galvanized iron for the sake of economy and lightness in transportation, without liability of buckling or distortion of the plates. They are thus particularly useful for snow fences along railway lines, though not confined to that purpose, as such a fence may be used anywhere where it is desired or of use.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A fence composed of a plurality of uprights connected by a plurality of superposed metal bars, the bars being longitudinally troughed, braces pivoted to said u rights, said uprights being formed to con orm to the shapes of said bars and said braces being formed to conform to the same shape and adapted to swing toward the uprights, and means for securing both the uprights and the braces to the ground.
2. A fence composed of a plurality of up- 1 rights, a plurality of longitudinally curved bars connecting said uprights, braces hinged v to the tops of said uprights, both said uprights and braces being of like form and formed to conform to the curvatures of said in said uprights and braces to the earth.
%igned at 'Waterloo, Iowa, this 6th day of May 1911.
