IMPROVEMENT IN FENCES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 118,135, dated August 15, 1871.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LYMAN P. J UDsON, of Rose, in the county of WVayne and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Fences, of which the following is a specification:
This fence is of that class in which hoop or bandiron is employed in the place of rails; and the invention consists in forming the edges of the lengths with sharp spurs or points, in the manner and for the purpose hereinafter set forth.
In the drawing the figiu'e is a perspective view of my improved fence.
A represents one of the posts, and B B B B the several lengths of hoop or band-iron employed in place of rails. These lengths are preferablyfrom an inch to an inch and a half in width each, an d are attached to the posts by nails, screws, staples, or any other desired means; or they may pass through holes of the posts.
Fences formed with hoop or band-iron have been before known; but so far as I am aware the edges of the same have been straight and unbroken. As an improvement upon this I form the edges with spurs or sharp points a a, which are cut from the edges of the bands, and bent outward to a suitable angle to the surface, as shown.
Several different forms of the spurs are shown. Others may be used, but I prefer that shown in the top and bottom lengths, as being more effective, and being less liable to become broken. In that case the edges of the bands are cut in angularly, at suitable intervals, by running through a die, and the points formed by the cuts bent outward, one edge bent in one direction and the other in the other. In the second lengths from the top regular saw-teeth are formed and bent outward. In the second length-from the bottom the edge is cut angularly in opposite directions, but not quite through, and the teeth or spurs are turn ed an gularly so as to present proj ectin g points on both sides.
The advantage of the arrangement above described is that the lengths present an armed or barbed surface, which is effective in keeping animals at a proper distance. They will not venture in contact with such a formidable obstacle in their way. Hogs will not attempt to pass under, nor cattle and horses to jump over. Neither will they endeavor to reach through. It is, therefore, more effective than a board fence. Being made of broad bands,'it is always apparent to sight, which gives it a greater advantage over simple wire; besides, it has greater strength and firmness. In the employment of this fence there is no use for pokes and hampers on animals, as the spurs or barbs of the fence serve a more effective purpose. This fence has great solidity and strength, and when properly secured is not effected by heat or cold, as is the case with wire. The band-iron will not sag sufficiently to impair its value, and being so wide it can rest comparatively loose.
If desired, wire of large size may be used in a similar way, having the points out from its surface and projecting outward.
I do not claim, broadly, the use of hoop or bandiron; neither do I claim spurs or barbs, except as they are cut from the edge of the bands themselves and turned outward but What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A fence made with hoop or band-iron, in which the edges of the lengths are cut and formed into projecting spurs o1, barbs, as and for the purpose specified.
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
LYMAN P. J UDSON.
