IMPROVEMENT IN PORTABLE FENCES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 150,308, dated April 528, 1874; application filed March 25, 1874.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK ELLIOTT, of Fairburg, in the county of Livingston and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Fences, of which the following is a specification:
My invention relates to portable felices; and my improvements therein consist of a fencesill support, having its socket for the panelposts, which lap each other, formed of side studs, which are embraced by oppositely-projecting` foot-boards, which are braced by braces extending from near the points of said boards to the tops ofthe studs, with which they form upper braces to the posts, which are arranged within said sockets to lap each other within the deep sockets bounded by the studs, footpieces, and braces, arranged as hereinafter described. v
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents a view, in perspective, of a portable fence embracing my invention, `and Fig. 2, a detached view of the sockcted sill-support, in perspective.
The panels A are formed as usualby nailing boards A1 to upright posts B and bracing bats O', a wire, b, being used next the top instead of a board-except that the bottom board A2 is cut away and shortened at each end, to admit of the insertion of the adjacent posts B ofthe panels into the double sockets O in the sills D, of peculiar construction, and which rest upon the ground at right angles to the panels. The sills I) are constructed of boards a, set on edge, as shown, on opposite sides of the socket, which are nailed to studs c, and braced by braces d, which aid to deepen the socket O, thereby formed in the middle of the sill. The sills are of sufficient length to firmly support the panels, and prevent the fence from being thrown down. The panels are twelve feet long, and four feet eight inches high; the posts of each panel four feet eight inches high, and two by four inches thick. The boards are one by six inches; the bats one by three inches thick, and of proper length. The wire is the common fence-wire, No. 8 or 9. All the crosspieccs and boards are nailed on with wrought nails. Vhen hard lumberis used for theboards, commerce fence nails are sufficient. The sills are made of boards, of suitable lengthabout four feet eight inches long, four of them being ont out of a sixteen-foot fence-boardand are one by four or one by siX inches wide. The braces d are six-inch boards ripped in two. The studs c, to which they are nailed, are two by four inches wide, and fourteen inches long. The socket C, formed as described, is four by four inches.
This fence, thus constructed, may be set up and carried from place to place either in summer or winter, the condition of the ground neither ait'ecting its stability nor portability. Its sills prevent it from being thrown down by cattle or wind. It can be easily made by any farmer. Its extreme lightness renders it easily portable.
The cut-away boards A2 are shown in Fig. 3 as fitting over and on opposite sides of the sill-boards, and the posts B B are shown in the sill-sockets with the boards A1 resting on the top of the studs c c of the sill.
I claimp The fence-sill support D, having its socket for posts, which lap each other, formed by the oppositely-projecting foot-pieces a, studs c c, and the braces d, substantially as herein described.
