that are adapted for' ready placement in anyl desired location for securely but removably holding the common type ot' wire 1tence in position.
l aim to provide a type ot fence post of inherent strength and rigidity and one that may be very cheaplyT manufactured. ln the eliectuation of tnis result, I preferably roll.
a piece oi sheet metal to the'form of a-n inclosure having overlapping ends vnot necessarily soldered or riveted in position. I aim to slot this sheet metal at intervals along its joint in a manner that bythe use of a locking wire, the post is securely locked in its correct shape and at the same time the 'fence is also held in true vertical position.
From the foregoing, it will be apparent that my post is necessarily of a hollow construction and, when it is desired to use very thin sheet metal, this hollow portion may be lled with cement or the like to form a very rigid and substantial construction.
The preferred embodiment of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which similar characters of reference designate corresponding parte, and in which:
Figure l is a side elevation otv my post shown in its position in the ground with the ordinary type 'of wire fence applied thereto, Fig. 2 is a cross section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. l, and, Fig. 3 isfa cross section taken on line 3-3 of F ig. l.
In the drawings, my fence post is shown as comprising a body portion l of comparatively thin sheet metal, rolled to a substam tially cylindrical 'orm and'having its ends 2 and 3 overlapping and in loose engage ment with each other. l preferably bend these ends to l-shape, thereby forming a joint of a somewhat interlocking nature.
The resiliency of the metal will normally hold the post in itscorrect assembled posiresented apr. s, i913.
tion. These l/shaped Vprotusions are also slotted at intervals, the outside member being slotted as at 4, leaving a portion oi the 'body metal as at A5. The inner V-shaped portion 3 is4 slotted as at 6 without leaving any of Vthe body metal, for a purpose to b e hereinafter described. The various strands of the wire fence 7 are inserted-#through soV these slots and are securely held liii position by the provision of a* lockin vided with a circular -handupper end to facilitate its readyremoval wire 8 proold 9 at 'its' and to prevent its passage to the. bottom of the post. strands of the wire fence k 7 bothcoperate to securely lock thepost i'n its assembled position, thereby obviating the necessity of solderin or riveting the joint formed by the over apping ends. It will be noted that the V-shaped portion l is prevented from outward movement by the provision of the small strip of body metal 5, contacting with the strands of the fence. Likewise, the inner l-shaped portion 6 is prevented inward movement by the wire strands contacting with the inner edges of the slots in the outer rl-shaped portion .4. parent that not only is the fence securely held in its applied position on the post, butv also the post is prevented from collapsevv a rigid joint. Itl .y
without the provision of y will also be apparent that comparatively thin sheet metal may be used for this purpose, inasmuch as itsV shape is in the nature of an inclosure, which inclosure may be readily filled with cement or the like. What l claim, is:
A l. A. fence post comprising a sheet metal body bent to form an inclosure and having its ends overlapping, said overlapping por:- tions being provided to receive the strands of a wire fence, and
Thus, it will be vapwith registering slots |This locking wire 8 and the a ,locking wire adapted for placement be-v l tween said wire strands and the inner Sul'- face of said post whereby the overlapping portions are. securely locked together and,
the 'fence held in position.
2. A fence post comprising asheet metal body bent to substantially cylindrical OIIIL` the free ends of said body bent .to 'forml interlocking V-shaped protrusions, said pro-1 trusions having registering slots therein. to In testimony whereof I afiX my signature' receive the strands of e Wire fence, and a in presence of two Witnesses.
ocking Wire adapted for placement bet-Ween said "Wire strands and the inner surface of HUGH D' CLARK' 5 ythe postwhereby the interlocking, portions Witnesses:
are securely locked together and the fence WALTER E. L. BooK, held in position. A. L. PHELPS.
