UNITED STATES HENRY C. MOI-IR, OF VICTOR, IOWA.
FENCEPOST.
Application filed April 13, 1923. Serial No. 631,949.
'To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY C. Morin, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Victor, Iowa County, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvenients in F enceposts, of which the following` is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements 1n fence posts, and one object of my improvements is to supply a metal post having engaging-means for fence wires therealong, and halso means thereon for securing fence boards thereto.
Another object is to provide an efcient anchor-body mounted upon the lower part of the post to secure it in the ground more firmly.
Another object is to furnish a removable cap-body for the post, having parts for engaging the upper end of the post, for use as a driving-head in the driving of the post. into the ground.
These objects I have accomplished by the means which are hereinafter described and claimed, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. l is an elevation of my improved fence post: Fig. 2 is an elevation thereof taken at an angle of ninety degrees to the elevation of said Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is an elevation of the side of the post. opposite that shown in said Fig. 2. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the driving-head as detached, and Fig. is a horizontal cross section of the post taken on the dotted line 5 5 of said Fig. 2.
For the purpose of utmost strength and symmetry in the steel or iron post l, I preferably use an X-bar with its four equidistant longitudinal ribs. At the lower end of the post the ribs are obliquely cut away to provide a pointed terminal 2 which may easily penetrate the ground.
In order to removably secure a plurality of horizontal fence-wires 5 to the post, I provide vertically ranged orifices 8 along` one rib thereof with an upwardly inclined cut or slot 4L leading from each orifice 3 to the edge of said rib. As shown in Fig. 2 near its top this slot permits a narrow tongue to be bent inclinedly to one side, leaving an opening through which a fencewire l5 may be passed to enter the orifice 3, and then the tongue is bent back to prevent escape of the wire, but in case it is desired to remove the wire, the tongue may be again bent outwardly and the wire taken out.
As it sometimes becomes necessary to secure fence boards also to the post, wooden slabs 6 are positioned along opposite faces of another rib of the post longitudinally and secured removably to the rib by means of bolts 7 passed through alined apertures in the slabs and rib and secured by means of nuts 8. Fence or other boards may then be nailed or otherwise fastened upon the slabs 6.
Immediately above the point 2 of the post l an anchor is fastened upon the post. T his may be made of two like but reversed plates l1 riveted at 12 to faces on the same side of opposite ribs. The anchor as a whole is triangular with its apex positioned downwardly to aid it in penetrating the ground when the post is driven. The side angles of the anchor at 9 may be crimped from above downwardly and divergently at 10. This anchor when embedded in the ground strongly resists upward or lateral displacements of the post, by reason of its wider surface and the sloping crimps.
The numeral 12 denotes a discoidal plate or cap-body having depending projections 13, areferably in pairs spaced apart, the projections being then removably fitted upon the top of the post l astride the ribs thereof, and serves as a driving-head to receive blows in the driving of the post, without injury to the post. l
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
A ribbed metal post havingits lower end pointed, and downwardly diminished anchor-plates fastened on certain of the ribs of the post immediately above the pointed end thereof, each plate having a crimp vproviding a relatively wide downwardly and outwardly inclined trough.
Signed at Victor, Iowa, this 10th day of March, 1923.
HENRY G. MOHR.
