,IMPRovEMl-:NTIN `IRON FENcEs.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 140,897., dated July 15, 1873; application iiled April 3, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN G. Dnvon, of Fredericktown, in the county of Knox and in the State of Ohio,'have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a metallic fence, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make aud use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front View, showing a portion of my fence, and Figs. 2, 3, and 4 areviews of detached parts thereof.
The fence-posts are madel in the following manner: I take a piece, A, of iiuted iron, cut Vthe entire length of the post above ground,
the lower end being split, as shown at a, as far down as the post goes in the ground. Holes are also punched or cut in this fluted piece A, which is made of wrought-iron, at
y any desired distances apart, and countersunk on the face thereof. A pattern is made the exact size of the post, and, when molded, the wrought iiuted piece A is laid in the bottom of the mold, and then the melted cast-iron run into the mold, when the melted iron runs through the wrought piece A at the holes and forms rivets on the face orfront of the post, as shown at i in Fig. 3; and through the split a at the base perfectly uniting and riveting the Wrought-iron to the cast-iron, and making a strong and durable post with much less iron than can be done by making it all of cast-iron, and at the same time as strong as if made entirely of wroughtirou. B represents the cast- `iron part of the post. When molding, cores are put in, passing through the holes which are punched or cut through the wrought-iron piece A, so that the melted cast-iron can pass around said core and form 'the rivets on the outside, as above described, thus leaving a hole for a bolt, b, to pass through.
The corner-posts and gate-posts are made in the following manner: I take a wroughtiron piece, C, to form the top of the base, and a similar piece, l), for the bottom, and place them in the mold, and flanges E E are cast at right angles with each other, between, and uniting, said pieces C and D. I then use four wrought-iron pieces, G Gr, for the top of the post, each with a cast center, H, cast the same as in the other posts. Before molding I make wroughti'ron bolts d, each formed with a hook, e, and a hole made in the wrought piece to hook the bolt into, so th at when the base and top of the postare bolted together there will be no strain on the cast-iron center, but on the wrought-iron. Both ends of each piece are made in the same way, so as to bolt the post to the wrought disk (l below and to the knob or finish I on top. Between the posts Gr H are placed wrought or malleable iron bars J, having lugs to enter the posts, as shown in Fig. 2; also, an ear, f, to bolt the fence to, and a half-hinge, h, to hang the gate on. Holes are made in the wrought-iron parts of the post for the lugs above mentioned to enter into, and when the post is put together, and the top and bottom bolted on, it forms a durable and substantial post with a less amount of iron than can be donein the usual way, without a loose bolt and with hinge ready to hang the gate, and piece to bolt the fence to. f
Each panel of the fence is composed of a series of upright pickets, K K, and horizontal bars or rails L L, and also ornaments M M, all riveted together, as shown. All these pickets and rails are made of single or double fluted iron, making a strong and durable, yet light, fence. Apiece of double-iluted iron is shown in Fig. 4. The panels are secured to the posts A B by bolts b passing through the same, and to the corner and gate posts by bolts passing through the ears f on the pieces J J in said posts.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by 'Letters Patent, is-` The fence-post herein described, formed of a wrought-iron facing, A, Pand cast-iron main portion B, constructed and united together in the manner and for the purposes set forth.
2. The corner or gate post herein described,
consisting of the wrought-iron disks O D,cast
metal portion E, posts G H, and top I, all constructed and united togethervas set forth.
3. In combination with the corner-post, as described in the foregoing second claim, the
hooked bolts d andthe cross-bar J, construct ed .and arranged substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of February, 1873.
