ALLEN BAGLEY, OF YPSILANTI, MICHIGAN.
' IMPROVEMENT IN SELF-LOCKING RAIL FENCES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 134,967, dated January 21, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALLEN BAGLEY, of Ypsilanti, iu the county of Washtenaw and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Self Lockin g Rail Fence; and Ido declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon and being a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my fence. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken inside the stakes, showing their position. Fig. 3 is an end view of a section, showing the position of the bar-posts or gate-posts.
Like letters refer to like parts in each figure.
The nature of this invention relates to a new construction of rail fences, the parts being so arranged that when in position the fence is self-locking, not easily overthrown, and economical in construction. The invention consists in a new and novel arrangement of rails, stakes, and riders, as more fully hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawing, A represents two sections of rails laid parallel with each other, but some three feet from each other, and tied together by the interlocking shorter section of rails B, care being taken that the top rails in thefence should be the shorter ones. On top of these shorter rails, and in the center of their lengths, are laid other rails or poles, G. The stakes G are then placed in position, as shown, their lower ends resting on the lower tier of the longer rails A, next to their point of intersection with the shorter rails B. In the fork of the stakes is placed the rider D, binding the whole firmly together. The shorter connecting tie-rails B are laid, when employed to tie together adjacent sections of long rails, at an angle to them.
When it is desired to make a break in the fence, wherein to place bars or a gate, for ingress and egress, the long rails, which would form the section broken out, are turned back parallel with the adjoining section, and the tie-rails are laid, at right angles to the same, next the break. The rails thus turned back are marked E in the drawing. This arrangement makes a strong section; and against the outer face of the short rails is nailed the bar or gate posts F.
It will be seen that a fence of this construction occupies less room takes less timber, has no stakes or posts driven into the ground to rot off, and is much stronger than rail fences of ordinary construction.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. The fence described, consisting of the long rails A, short rails 13, rail 0, stakes G G, and riders D, the stakes G G being supported by the long rails A A, as shown.
2. In a fence of the described construction, the square section formed by reversing the long rails, whereby the same is adaptedto support the gate-posts, as described.
ALLEN BAGLEY.
