FENCE POST.
APPLICATION FILED FEB. 28, 1914.
Patented Sept. 8, 1.914
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES GAERIGAN, OF AFTON, IOWA.
FENCE-POST.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, J AMES CARRIGAN, citizen of the United States, residing at Afton, in the county of Union and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and Useful Improvements in Fence-Posts, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in fence posts, and more particularly to that class of posts constructed wholly or in part of plastic material, such as concrete or some vitreous material, and the object of this invention is to provide a post in which each of the strand wires will be held and supported, and also one of the stay wires will be received within a suitable slot .provided in the post, so that the fence will be held against endwise displacement.
A further object is to so construct the post that suitable clamp wires can be brought therearound, and secured to the strand wires of the fence to hold these wires against bodily removal from engagement in the post.
The invention relates to still other novel features of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a post constructed after my invention; Fig. 2 is a similar view of the post showing the fence mounted and secured thereon; and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view through the post.
The post, in its body A, is made square, round, or ornamental, as the occasion requires, and on its front side has a series of horizontal notches or grooves 1 which eX- tend entirely across the face of the post, and are spaced apart at a distance to correspond with the placing of the strand wires of a standard fence. A groove or slot 2 is formed vertically of the post on its face to extend through and cut the notches 1. This groove 2 is preferably of slightly greater depth than the notches 1, and in practice, it will be probably found that the post is of easier construction if this groove is made round in its bottom, as shown in Fig. 3,
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed February 28, 1914.
Patented Sept. 8, 1914.
Serial No. 821,734.
In use, the post will be set in the usual manner with the face on the proper side to receive the fence. The fence is stretched in the usual manner, a-nd the strand wires A are placed in the notches 1 of the post. Also, one of the stay wires B is brought to'a position to be received in the groove 2. After the fence has been stretched and placed upon the post, the clamp wires C may be stretched around the post from the back, and at their ends twisted around the strand wires as at E to hold these strand wires against displacement.
IVhile this post has been stated as particularly well adapted to be constructed of a plastic material, it will be seen that the I ordinary wooden fence post could be cut on its face to have the notches 1 and the groove 2, and while not perhaps so. efficient and lasting as a concrete post, or a post formed of a vitreous material, would yet accomplish the object desired. Also, it will be understood that if the plastic material is used, this could be reinforced in a manner as the occasion required, and'also with these vari ous adaptations, it might be found desirable to provide some other means of securing the fence within the groove and notches of the post other than the employment of the clamp wires, as shown.
.Vhile I have described the post as having the notches adapted to each receive a strand wire of the standard fence, it will be under stood that several notches might be provided at the top of the post to receive separate strand wires or barbed wire which might be used to increase the height of the fence or to prevent one climbing the fence. It is evident that other slight changes might be made in the form and arrangement of the various parts without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to be limited to the exact construction herein set forth, but
I claim:
The combination with a fence comprising a plurality of strand and a plurality of stay v wires connected thereto, of a post provided on its face With a plurality of notches to re- I oeive the strand Wires of the fence-and hering :1 groove formed longitudinally thereof to receive one of the stay Wires of the fence and clamp Wires received around the post and the ends thereof secured. to the strand Wires for holding the stay wires Within the groove, and the strands in the notches for preventing any longitudinal movement of the strand and stay wires. 10
In testimony whereof 1 11th:; my sigiratlire in the presence of two Witnesses.
