Application filed October 5, 1921. Serial No. 505,518.
To a ZZ iw i om t fm cg/ con cern Be it known that we,A lnnor J. Hirn)- Mansri and JOHN W. Minnen, citizens of the lfnited States, and residents, respectively. of Lincoln, in the county` ot' Lancaster and State of Nebraska, and Evanston, in the county of Cook and State of illinois, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Fenceposts, of which the `following is a speciiication.
rIhis invention relates to' fence posts and more particularly to metallic fence posts especially Vadapted for the construction oi' wire fences, and has for one of its ohiectsV the provision of a post of 'this character having improved and novel means for holding or attaching the wire to the post.
Still other objects and advantages such as simplicity, cheapness ofinanufacture, durability, and the general improvement of the art will be brought out more fully in the following speeiiication and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure lis a front elevation'of a post constructed in accordance with this invention. Y
Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof. Figure 3 is a rea-r elevation thereof showing the anchor opening or slot. Y
Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary detail elevation of a portion of a post showing the corrugated edge of the opening and manner of securing the staples in place. Figure 5 is a cross sectional view on an enlarged scale showing the staple in locked position with the side walls of the post. Figures 6 and 7 are enlarged detail views of the staples.
Referring particularlyV to the drawings, the numeral 2 designates side walls of the post which is preferably of hollow cylindri-A cal steel construction rformed with an open seam or Aslot 3 which extends the entire length thereof. rihe oneV longitudinal edge of the side walls paralleling the slot or opening 3 is corrugated to form alternate projections t and depressions 5. It will he understood, however, that both of the longitudinal edges of the side walls par-alle ling Vvided* with'means for detachably the opening 3 may he corrugated if found necessary or desirable'.
A plurality of staples 6 are adapted to be `driven into the opening 8 to hold the wire fencing 7 on the posts. The staples 6 are of the usual U-shaped design and are provided with oppositely tapered wedge like pointsl 8 on their )rongs or Shanks 9. The prongs or Shanks 9 of the staples are of greater diameter than the widestpoints of the opening 3. '.lhat is, they are of greater diameter than the opening 3 at the'depressions 5 and are provided with notches l0 to the rear of the I points 8, into which the edges of the side walls are adapted to spring when the staples are driven into the opening f The staples 6 are adpated to straddle the .projections i when driven into the opening, thus preventinglongitudinal or vertical displacement of the staples, while the notches l() prevent horizontal displacement.
It will be readilyseen from the above that the staples 6 form a positive attachment for the fencing that will not become accidentally displaced and yet one that may be removed. when desired to remove orV repair the fence opening 3. e
The advantages of Ythis invention willY be readilyapparent. It providesl a cheap post of all metal construction which may readily 75 by springing the post so las to spread theV be placed in'position withoutV the necessity Y of digging holes, itis provided with means for anchoring Vit inposition, and it is prosecuring the wire fencing theretoi..-
,Wevclainfu- C l The combination with ahollow cylindricalmc-tallio fence post having alongitudi- Y nal openingr therein, and having at' least one edge of the side walls 'of said post paralleling the opening of lsaid post provided with aserieslof alternate` projections-and depressions, of staples adapted to be'secured `f in saidA opening to hold wire fencing on said post.' said staples loeingoi1 VU-shape construction having their shanks soV spaced 'sof as to iitV over said kprojections and to extend into said depressions whereby said staples are looked against Vertical move-V ment relative to said post, said Shanks being of a diameter greater than the greatest Width of said opening and being provided with wedge like points tapered in opposite directions and notches to the rear of said points, to which the edges of said side Wall are adapted to spring to lock said staples against horizontal movement relative to said post.
In testimon;7 whereof We have hereunto set our hands.
