UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN C. LARSEN, 0F MEDFORD, WISCONSIN.
METAL FENCE-POST.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, JOHN C. LARSEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Medford, in the county of Taylor and State of lVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in MetalFence-P'osts, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in metal fence posts and wire stretchers.
The primary object of this invention is to provide a metal fence post, which is so constructed that nothing but a crow bar is needed to erect the same in the ground.
A further object of this invention is to provide a fence post in which the line wires of the fence may be fastened without the use of staples.
A still further object is to provide an improved wire stretcher whereby two wires may be stretched simultaneously.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the fence post. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the fence post and associated parts, looking from the opposite side of the post, the bit shown in elevation, and Fig. 3 is an edge view.
Referring to the drawings for a more particular description of the invention, the post comprises the metal side plates 1 and 2, of galvanized iron, the lower ends of which are bolted to the spiral auger or bit 3 by the bolt and nut 4: and 5, respectively. The upper end of the bit is provided with a square eX- tension 6 which passes through a corresponding openingin a base plate 7 which rests on the surface of the ground as shown in Fig. 1 and holds the post rigid. The post is further braced by the braces 8, the upper ends of which are bent around the bolt 9 and the lower ends of which engage vertical extensions 10 at the ends of the base plate. The fastening bolt 9 as well as the bolts 10 pass through the metal'side pieces of the post and are provided with the hooked ends 11 which are bent alternately in opposite directions, and which form eyes 12 for Specification of Letters Patent.
Application led August 24, 1911.
Patented June 25, 1912.
Serial No. 645,720.
the reception of the line wires 13 of the fence.
The line wires of the fence are stretched by a drum or windlass 14 which is rotatably mounted between the side pieces of the post on the shaft 15 and is provided at opposite ends with the ratchet wheels 16 engageable by the pivoted pawl 17. A pair of cables 1S are attached to the drum and are connected with a pair of wires to be stretched by the clutches 19 which may be of any suitable form. A crank 2O is arranged at one end of the shaft 15 for turning the drum.
In practice, to stretch the upper pair of line wires, the drum is arranged between the upper pair of bolts 10 as indicated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings. To stretch the neXt lower pair of wires, the position of the drum is changed by mount-ing the shaft 15 in the bearing openings 21, in the side pieces of the post. To stretch the bottom line wire, the shaft of the drum is mounted in the openings 22 in the side pieces. After the lwires are stretched the bolts 10 are tightened by screwing up the nuts 23 to hold the wires in place.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, is:
A fence post comprising a pair of metal side pieces and fastening means for the wires consisting of a vertical series of bolts passing through the side pieces and provided at adjacent ends with wire engaging hooks bent alternately in opposite directions, and means for removably mounting a stretching device between each adjacent pair of bolts adapted to simultaneously stretch a pair of fence wires.
In testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN C. LARSEN.
