PORTABLE FARM-FENCE.
T 0 all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, W ofiAw BIKOWSKI, a
citizen of Russia, residing at Cambridge, in
the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have inventedcertain new and.
useful Improvements in Portable Farm- Fences, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in portable farm fences.
The primary object of the invention 1s the provision of a fence structure arranged w th post membersadapted for readily sinking into the ground when setting up the fence, the said posts being easily elevated and removed from the ground when desired to judge the location of the fence.
A further object of the device is the provision of a fence member in the nature of a post adapted for firmly embedding 1n ltS' upright operative position in the ground without the employment of any pounding means, the device being operable by a single workman and possessing great strength and durability.
A still further object of the device is the provision of a fence that may be readily transferred and set up at a desirable location without the employment of digging, pounding, or other tools aside from those furnished with the post members forming a part of the fence, the structure being such that a fencemay be readily taken down andset up again. at a. different location by one person- -Inthe drawings forminga part of this application and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views.
Figure 1 is a perspective View of a portion of a fence formed after my invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail view of an attaching means for one of the posts. Fig. 3 is an elevational view post members.
Fig. 4 is a longitudinalxsectional view thereof.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged elevational view of the screw operating means with the adjacent parts broken away.
Fig. 6 is a horizontal sectional view thereof with the ratchet lever in position.
Figs. 7 and 8 are transverse sectional Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 15, 1917. Serial No. 207,293.
views taken upon lines VIIVII and VIIIVIII respectively of Fig. 4, and
Fig. 9 is a transverse sectional view taken upon line IXIX of Fig. 3. v
It. being understood that the invention consists of a fence that may be readily set up for use and then disassen'nbled for the purpose of moving the same whendesired, the device broadly consists of separate lengths 10 of fencing detachably suspended between suitably spaced posts 11 arranged upright in the ground 12. The formation of the post 11 forms an important part of the invention, each post comprising an upper and a lower tubular section 13 and 14 respectively, connected by means of a collar 15 within which the said post sections are ]ournaled in axial alinement. A hub 16 is journaled within the collar 15 between the spaced inner ends of the sections 13 and 14 and is arranged; with oppositely formed toothed portions 17 and 18 positioned inwardly of openings 19 and 20 respectively in a side boss 21 of the collar 15. l
A cylindrical shaft22 is ,journaled within the post sections 13 and 14 being arranged with acentral squaredportion 23 and slid ably positioned throughthe hub 16. The lower end .of the shaft 22 is provided with a taperedbearing portion 24 while its upper end 25 is screw threaded through. the in terna-lly threaded upper .end portion 26 of the upper post section 13. The hub 16 is preferably'formed in two equal parts connected together by means of screws 27 for convenience in assembling the device.
Inwardly projecting screws 28 are carried by the collar 15 shiftably arranged within slots 29 in the adjacent section of the post 11.
Oppositely projecting perforated ears 30 are arranged upon the post sections 13 and base 11 in the required direction. A lever handle-33 of tubular arrangement is adapted to .be' screwed into either of the openings,
19 or 20 for engaging a pawl 34 carried by the handle with the ad acently positioned therefrom by turning the shaft 22 within the toothed surface of the hub 16. A spring 35 is arranged in the handle 33 for projecting the pawl 3 in contact with the toothed surface 17 when the handle 33 is engaged within the opening 19' and with the toothed surface 18 when the handle is positioned within the opening 20. It will be understood that the attachment of the fencing 10 to'the post sections 13 and 14 prevents such sections from revolving while the pawl 34 having an inclined inner face 36 is positioned for engaging the toothed portion 18 when arranged as shown in 6 of the drawing while by turning the handle 33 in a the opening 19, the pawl will engage with the toothed portion 17 for operating upon the teeth thereof. When the handle 33 is turned, the hub 16 will be rotated and the shaft 22 turned for feeding the point 24- thereof either downwardly or upwardly, the fencing 1O maintaining the post sections 13 and 14 against turning while the shaft 22 moves longitudinally therein. The screws 28 within the slots 29 limits the shifting movement of the collar 15 but permits eflicient movement for allowing the lever 33 to turn the hub 16 in either direction, it being understood that the pawl 34 and the toothed portions of the hub 16 provide a ratchet feed mechanism for the shaft 22 while the engagement of the shaft in the ground prevents any backward movement of the shaft until forcibly revolved in an opposite direction by reversing the handle 33 and pawl 34.
A serviceable fence structure is thereby arranged in which the shaft 22 is forced into the earth and withdrawn therefrom through the tubular post 11 by operating the remov able handle 33. The fencing sections 10 may also be detached from the posts 11 by disconnecting the hooks 31 from the 0st ears30. The squared portion 23 of the s aft tast est) 32 slides through the squared bore 3'? of the hub 16 and it will be understood that the post 11 may be readily set up or withdrawn from the earth by a single person operating the lever 23.
What 1 claim as new is 1. A fence post comprising a shaft having a threaded portion in one end and a tapered boring portion at its opposite end with an intermediately positioned squared portion, spaced tubular post sections mounted upon the shaft With one of the same in threaded engagement with the threaded portion of the fence, a ratchet hub slidably mounted upon the squared portion of the shaft between the said tubular sections having oppositely toothed portions, a shiftable sleeve overlying said hub journaled upon said post sections having openings adjacent the toothed portions of the hub and a ratchet lever interchangeably positioned within the said. openings for selective engagement with the toothed portions of the hub.
2. A fence post comprising two tubular sections, a two-part hub arranged between said sections having oppositely inclined teeth thereon, a collar journaled upon said hub and upon the adjacent ends of said post sections, means adapted for limiting the relative movement between the collar and post sections, a shaft journaled within said post sections having a ground engaging bearing end and an opposite end in threaded engagement with one of the post sections, the said shaft having a squared portion slidably arranged through the said hub and a lever carried pawl adapted for engaging either of the toothed portions of the hub at will for revolving the shaft in either direction.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
