Patented Bee. 13,3921. '1
Application filed October 1, 1919, Serial No. 327,707. Renewed May 13, 1921. Serial No. 469,325.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RUBY P. STINE, a citizen of the. United States, residing at ,Greensburg, in the county of Decatur and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Bed Fences, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to water bed fences adapted to fence off streams in order to prevent live stock from wandering along the bed of the stream and straying out of bounds. Hitherto, such devices were clumsy and expensive and could be used only in fencing ofl' small streams. They were disadvantageous in that it was necessary to secure the fence to the bed of the stream or to hold it from washing away by piling rocks or other similar material on one end of the same. c
In time of flood or high water, fences so constructed often washed away due to erosion of the bed and to the natural buoyancy of the fences which tended to float and thus to be carried away by the water. These water bed fences have the further disad vantage of causing the water to dam up behind them, overflowing the adjoining land in times of high water. By my invention I obviate these difliculties, it being among the objects thereof to produce a water bed fence which is adapted for use in small or lar e creeks, dredged ditches, or rivers, wh1ch will not be washed away by flood, which does not dam the stream, is permanent and can be cheaply constructed.
In carrying the objects of my invention into effect, I provide abutments along the banks of the stream to be fenced and secure the fence thereto Without the necessity of securing the same to the bed of the stream. Preferably the abutments are constructed of concrete, brick, stone, or similar material,
' but it is sometimes feasible to use wooden ings forming apart hereof and in which similar reference characters denote similar parts,
Figure 1, illustrates a plan View of a stream with my improved water bed fence in place, and
able way and are adapted to hold plates 1.
by means of nuts 9 to the abutments. A bar 10 is secured between the abutments to the plates 8 by means of bolts 11.
The upper portions of the downstream ends of the abutments are formed with recesses l2 and pins 13 are placed vertically therein in orderto hold bar 14, here illustrated as a channel-bar, in place on the ledge so formed. Rods 15 are secured to. bar 10 in any well known manner as by twisting the end 16, and the down stream ends of rods 15 are secured by forming eyes 17 therein, threading an eye-headed bolt thereon, and securing them adjustably to the channel by nut l 1 Although thelower upstream end 10 is generally on the bed of the stream it is unnecessary to place it so where the stream never goes dry, since the device may then be placed so that the lower end 10 is always below the low water mark. Braces or trusses may be placed at various points wherever desired or considered necessary, and the rods 15 may be replaced by wires, bars, angles or any other suitable forms. The rods 15 are spaced comparatively far apart (from 2 to 4 inches) so as not to catch orhold debris which, in the ordinary water bed fence,
causes'the damming of the stream.
This invention is equally adapted for' fencing in bottom lands and low lands adjoining streams; by placing a series of abutments across the land to be fenced and placing my new fence structure between 3 such series of abutments I am enabled to successfully fence in any type of land which is subject to overflows. j
Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire t secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A water bed fence comprising abutments placed along the-banks of a stream, metal bars secured at different elevations to said abutments, and a metal fence secured between said bars.
2. A water bed fence comprising abutments placed along the banks of stream bars secured at diiferent elevations to said abutments, 'and a fence secured {between said bars, said fence comprisinglongitudinally placed rods secured to said bars and being spaced relatively far apart.
3. A water bed fence comprising a plurality of bars, a plurality of rods secured between said bars, said bars and rods forming a unitary fence structure, abutments, and means for securing the ends of said bars to said abutments.
4. A water bed fence comprising abutments placed along the banks of a stream, a bar secured to the lower up-stream ends of said abutments, a bar secured to the upper down-stream ends thereof, and a fence secured between said bars, said fence comprising longitudinally placed relatively narrow rods secured to said bars and being spaced relatively far apart. 7 y
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal at Indianapolis, Indiana,'
this 27th day of September, A. D. nineteen hundred and nineteen.
