Application filed September 4, 1914. Serial N o. 860,161.
To all wiwm it may concern:
Be it known that I, IcNAoY KRAWCZYK, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Folding Fences, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and eXact description; v
This invention relates to certain improve ments in fences and refers more particularly to the wire panels which are placed between and upon the supporting posts and rails, and to the means for securing these panels in operative position. 1
The main obj ect is to provide a fence which may be stored and shipped 'in a knock-down condition in a comparatively small compact space and easily and quickly set up or installed so as to be light, strong and durable, and at the same time, ornamental and capable of forn iing a substantial inclosure for any purpose.
Another obj ect is to provide simple means for locking or releasing the adjacent ends of the panels to each post in a single operation. 'V
Other objects and 'uses will be`br0ught out in the following description. k
In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation of a portion of a fencc, embodying the fea'- tures of my inventi on. Fig. 2 is an enlarged elevation partly in section of a portion of the same fence, showing the manner of looking the rails and wire panels tothe posts. Figs. 3 and l are horizontal sectional Views through portions of the fence, including one of the posts, showing in Fig. 3 the manner of supporting the top horizontal wire of the panel, and Fig. 4, the means for looking the panel Sections to each other and to the post. Fi g. 5 is a detailed vertical sectional view through one of the rails, showing the manner of supporting the upper wire of one of the panels.
This fence comprises any number of posts, -1- having forked lower ends 2- firmly secured in the ground, and their upper ends provided with renovable ornamental caps --3-- having secured thereto a pair of pendent rods or bars for locking the rails as -5- and wire panels as -6- to said post in a manner hereafter described. These posts are usually spaced a considerable distance apart, and therefore, the panels --6- between them are of considerable length, and in order that these panels may be conveniently handled, shipped or stored in a knock-down condition and in a conpact space, each panel is composed of a series of wire sections -7- hinged together edge to edge by rings -8- so that they may be folded flatwise one upon the other, or
unfolded into the same flat plane, or at an angle one with the othej As illustrated, the main body of each panel section is made of' a single piece of wire having a substantial base portion as -9 opposit'e 'upright vertical portions 10-- spaced some distance 'apart and hav ing their upper ends curved inwardly and downwardly at -'-1l-, one end as --12- being continued downwardly substantially midway between and parallel with the sides 10 to the horizontal bottom portion 9 the other end being formed with an eye 13- looped around the upperend of the intermediate bar +12- and near its junction with the arch 11-. The vertical 'bars -IO-and -l2 `gare connected at intervals throughout their 'h'eights by cross-bars -ltwhich are spaced progres- Patented JiilyZO, 1915.-
sively increasing distances from 'bottom to top to form 'an effective barrier against the passage of objectionable objects there: through, it being 'understood that the spacings o't' the vertical bars and horizontal bars and also the height of the vertical bars may be varied according to requirements. The ends of the cross bars *ld terminate at the' ends of the panel Sections and are preferably looped around the vertical rods -10- to hold them in their spaced relation, and for this purpose, adjacent portions of the vertical bars are slightly defiected' inwardly to hold said loops against vertical sliding movement, the intermediate portions of the cross-bars being secured to the central upright bar -12 of the panel section by rings -15-. a
The rails -5 are spaced some distance apart vertically in parallelism according to the height of the fence and usually consist of pipes having their ends inserted in suitable apertures in the sides of the posts which are also made of pipe or metal tubes of somewhat greater diameter than that of the rails, the ends of the pipes which project into the tubular posts being provided with vertically registered apertures -1 7- for The ends of the wire panels -6 adjacent the posts -1- are provided with wire loops -18- bent around the adjacently Vertical rods of said panels and extended through apertures -19- in the adjacent sides of said posts to receive the looking bars or rods -'c-- for looking said panels to the posts.
It will be seen from the foregoing description that the ends of the rails *5- and also of the panels adjacent to each post are locked thereto in a single operation, and by the' same looking means, thus permitting the fence to be quickly set up or taken down as nay be required; as for eXample, in case it is necessary to remove one of the panels and corresponding rails in order to make an Opening through the fence for the passage of a Vehicle or for any other purpose by simply removing the caps -3- and its looking members ifrom the posts at the end of the panel which is to be removed.
In order that the wire panel Sections may be firmly held to the rails against relative vertioal Inovement, portions of said rails are provided with lugs or tongues, preferably cut therefrom and pressed outwardly a sufficient distance to permit the lower and upper cross-bars to rest thereon, after which the free ends of the tongues may be bent back by means of a hanmer or other suitable tool sufficient to firmly look the panel Sections in operative position, as shown more clearly in Fig. 5.
The construction and operation of the particular form of my invention shown has been fully described and it is clear that certain changes might be made in the formation of the panel sections and the means for attaching` them to the rails without departing Y from the spirit of my invention, and therefore, I do not limit myself to the precise construction shown and described.
What I claim is:
In a knock-down fence, the conbination of a pair of hollow tubular posts spaced some distance apart and having openings in their adjacent sides near the lower and upper ends thereof and also provided with additional relatively smaller openings between the first named openings, rails having` their ends loosely seated in the first named open ings and extending into the interior of the posts and provided with vertical apertures, an openwork fence panel between said posts and having` its ends provided with lugs entering the smaller apertures therein and er*- tending into the interior of said posts, the portions of the lugs within the posts being provided with apertures in vertical alinement with those in the ends of the rails, and looking rods within the posts passing loosely *through the apertures in the rails and lugs for looking said rails and panels to the post and permitting them to be separated at will. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this lst day of September, 1914.
