CHARLES H. CREWS, OF LAWRENCEVILLE, ILLINOIS.
METALLIC ANCHOR FOR POSTS.
Specification of Letters.Iatent.
Patented Dec. 29, 1914.
Application filed. February 4, 1914. Serial No. 816,541.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES H. CREws, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lawrenceville, in the county of Lawrence and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Metallic Anchors for Posts, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to metallic anchors for use in joining wood posts, poles or the like to cementitious bases or foundations.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a device of this character wherein a wood body constituting a post, pole or the like can be secured to a base or foundation so as to obviate the decaying of the post as is usual when engaged in the ground, and also which will enable the post to be detached from the base or foundation should it become unfit for use.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a device of this character wherein the post, pole or the like is held and secured in the anchor, which is adapted to be partially embedded in a cementitious base or foundation, thereby securely holding the post in upright position for the construction of a fence or for the use thereof as a pole support or the like.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a device of this character which enables the convenient mounting of a post, pole or the like so as to resist breaking strains thereon, and also assuring durability while in use.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a device of this character which is extremely simple in construction, strong, durable, and inexpensive in manufacture.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of a post showing the metallic anchor connected thereto and engaged in a concrete base which is shown in sectional elevation. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the anchoring de ce detached from the post and base.
Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.
Referring to the drawing in detail, A designates a wood post which is of the ordinary well-known construction, and B a concrete or cementitious base which is embedded in the ground or other foundation for supportmg the post in a manner presently described.
The anchoring device comprises a channeled casting 5, the side flanges 6 of which being formed with outwardly tapered ends 7 having integral therewith and between the same a medial web 8 provided with a pointed outer end 9 which serves as a continuation of the ends 7 so that the casting 5 can be driven into the base prior to the hardening thereof. This web 8 is formed with openings 10 so that the material of the base B will fill the same and thus bonding the casting to the base. At the inner end of the web 8 is a base or bearing plate 11 against which abuts the lowermost end of the post A when engaged in the channel in the casting 5 for the securing of the post thereto. Passed through the post A are bolt members 12 which also pass through openings 13 in the casting 5, and in this manner the post is securely fastened to the anchoring device. When the casting 5 is secured in the base B the bearing plate 11 lies in a plane with the top of the base. After the material of the base becomes hardened the casting is permanently connected thereto. The channel in the casting 5 serves as a seat for the post A, while the said casting partly houses the lower end of the post to prevent the decay thereof when subjected to moisture or climatic changes.
From the foregoing it is thought that the construction and manner of use of the device will be clearly understood, and therefore a more extended explanation has been omitted.
What is claimed is 1. An anchor for posts comprising a stand plate having a tapered end forming a point, and also having apertures, a bed plate at the opposite end of the stand plate, and integral therewith, and a U-shaped casting rising above the bed plate and adapted to form a post seat, the flanged sides of the casting being downwardly tapered and united to the edges of the stand plate.
2. An anchor for posts comprisinga stand plate having a tapered end forming a point,
and also having apertures, a bed plate at the opposite end of the stand plate, and integral therewith, and a U-shaped casting rising above the bed plate and adapted to'form a post seat, the flanged sides of the casting being downwardly tapered and united to the edges of the stand plate, the medial straight portion of the casting being offset with respect to the plane of the stand plate.
3. An anchor for posts comprising a stand plate having a tapered end forming a point, and also having apertures, a bed plate at the opposite end of the stand plate, and integral therewith, and a U-shaped casting rising above the bed plate and adapted to form a post seat, the flanged sides of the casting being downwardly tapered and united to the edges of the stand plate, the medial straight portion of the casting being ofiset with respect to the plane of the stand plate, the bed plate being projected beyond the area of the casting at opposite sides of the same.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
