UNITED STA WILLIAM H. MASON, OF LEESBURG, OHIO.
WIRE-FENCE FASTENER. 7
Application filed September 15, 1921. Serial No. 500,983.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM MAsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Leesburg, in the county of Highland and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Wire-Fence Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
The fence staples now in common use usually'require two men to successfully secure them in place-one man to hold a heavy object at the rear of the post and another at the face of the post to do the driving.
The object of the present invention 1s to provide an improved form of staple'that can be applied by one man with a pair of pliers. Fence posts for wire fences are now usually made of angle iron or T-bar and the hole for the passage of the staple is sometimes quite close'to the web of the bar, hence a further object of the invention is to provide a staple that can be applied with a pair of pliers notwithstanding the staple hole may be closeto the web and which may be applied through a hole on either side of the web. It is a further object of the invention to provide a staple in such a form that no bending is required'except that needed to turn a single wire around the fence wlre.
The invention is embodied in the example herein shown and described.
In the accompanying drawings v Figure 1 is a front view of a fraction of post and fence wire showing my staple applied but before the same has been bent to grip the fence wire.
' Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a view like Fig. 1 showing the free end of the staple bent around the fence wire to grip the same.
Fig. 4 is an end view of the same.
Fig. 5 is a rear view of the lnventlon as seen in Fig. 3.
Fig. 6 is a view like Fig. 5 showing two staples as applied to a T-bar fence post.
7 is a perspective View of the invention.
My invention isvuseful more particularly in connection with a post provided with a hole 11 across which the fence wire 12 is extended against a flat face of the post.
The staple, as shown is made of a piece of'wire bent to form a loop 10 to lie in the hole 11 of the fence post in a'plane at right angles thereto and embrace the fence-wire 12, a leg portion 13 extendin from one of the loop legs and at right ang es to the loop and a further extension 14 bent to stand at right angles to the leg portion 18, and a short leg 15 extending from the other loop leg in the same direction as the leg portion 13 and parallel thereto. The extension 14 is the portion that is bent about the fence wire by the application of a pair ofpliers while the short leg portion 15 and leg-portion 13 serve as eflicient braces against the bending effort.
The staple in its marketed form is as shown in Fig. 7. It is applied to the post and fence wire by first passing the free or long v end lt through the hole in the post at one side of the wire and then the othershort leg 15 is inserted through the hole over the other side of the'wire so that the loop shall straddle the fence wire as shown'in Figs. 1 and 2, after which the free end 14 is bent around the fence wire to grip th same as shown in Figs. 3, 4. 5 and 6. When the staple is provided in the form shown the only operation necessary on the part of one securing the fence wire to the post is to pass the legs while embracing the fence wire and then twist the end of thelong leg about the fence 'wire.
therethrough crossed by the wire, said de-,
vice consisting of a loop portion having two legs bent off from said loop and one of said legs further bent in the same direction as the loop and substantially parallel thereto.
2. In combination with a fence post having a through hole and a fence wire crossing said hole, a device for fastening said fence wire to the post consisting of a metallic strip bent to form a loop portion embracing the fence wire and lying within said hole at a right angle to theplaneiof the portion of v post having said hole and two leg portions standing. off from said loop portion in the same direction and at an angle to the plane of said loop portion, bent to secure the fence wire to the post.
WILLIAM H. MASON.
