Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 22, 1916.
Application filed March 20, 1914. Serial No. 826,079.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN B. YOUNG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Belt, in the county of Cascade, State of Montana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Fence- Posts; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to metallic fence posts.
The object of the invention resides in the provision of a metallic fence post which may be formed from a sheet metal blank and to which fence wires may be firmly secured at various points longitudinally thereof and with respect to which said wires may be easily and quickly applied and removed. With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claim. I
In describing the invention in detail reference will .be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a fence post constructed in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2, a longitudinal section of same; Fig. 3, a transverse section of same; Fig. 4, a perspective view of a fragment of the post; Fig. 5, a perspective view of the wire securing device; and Fig. 6, a view of the blank from which the post is formed.
Referring to the drawings the post is shown as comprising a tubular cylindrical body 10 having a longitudinal slot 11 therein. This slot 11 is provided atintervals with enlarged portions 12 to permit the insertion of the heads of wire securing bolts 13 to be hereinafter referred to. The body 10 is provided in its outer face at corresponding points on opposite sides of the slot 11 with recesses 14 which open into the slot 11. In forming the body 10 a blank A such as is illustrated in Fig. 6'is employed, the slot 11 being stamped from the blank and the latter then rolled into cylindrical form with its opposite side edges in abutting relation as will be obvious. The Wire securing device employed in conjunction with the post is shown as comprising a plate B having one end bent at substantially right angles as at 15. The free end of the portion 15 of the plate B is reduced as at 16 to form shoulders 17. The end of the plate B remote from the portion 15.is tapered and bent at an angle to the body of the plate B as at 18. This portion 18 of the plate B is sufficiently narrow to move freely in the slot 11. The plate B is provided with an opening 19 through 'which a respective bolt 13 is passed as clearly shown in the drawing. In securing wires, indicated respectively at 20, the bolts are inserted through the enlarged portions 12 of the slot 11 and then moved bodily to a desired position with respect to the post. The bolts are then inserted through the opening 19 of a desired plate B, a wire 20 having been previously disposed transversely of the post above the bolt. The shoulders 17 are then engaged in opposite recesses 14 and a nut 21 screwed upon the bolt which operation will move the plate B into clamping relation to the wire.
What is claimed is In combination with a fence post having substantially thin walls provided with a longitudinally disposed slot, the said walls being provided with spaced laterally disposed recesses opening at one end into said slot from the opposite sides thereof, the said recesses being spaced throughout the length of said slot, a clamping plate having one end open at right angles thereto and reduced in width at'its extremity to provide a tongue of the same width as said slot and shoulders at the base of said tongue adapted to engage in and abut the end Walls of said recesses, the thickness of said plate being equal to the width of said recesses, the opposite end of said plate being curved and reduced in Width to snugly engage in In testimony whereof, I afiix my signasaid slot at a point remote from the tongue ture, in the presence of tWo Witnesses. end, the said plate being provided inter- JOHN B. YOUNG. mediate its ends With an opening disposed Witnesses:
5 in alinement with said slot, and a bolt for DANA A. PRIOR,
insertion through said opening and slot. WILLIAM F. FAUsT.
