Description

NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JACOB IIAISH, OF DE KALB, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN BARBED-WIRE FENCES.
Specification forming partof Lcttfrs Patent No. 152,368, dated June 23, 187,4; application iled Aprll 18, 1874.
To all lwhom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JACOB HAIsrI, ot' the city and county of De Kalb, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Felice and I do hereby declare that 'the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specitication, in which the ligure is a perspective view otl my invention.
The invention relates to a novel construction otl fence, both as respects the rail and posts, the same being as hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
A represents a rail iliade of one continuous strip ot' sheet metal, spirally twisted, and held at one or both ends to the posts by a suitable spring, B. This spring allows for the cont-raction and expansion ot' the rail, the same tautness being thus always preserved. Spikes C are made at intervals by cutting oblique slits on opposite edges of rail, andturning out the acute-angled pieces thus formed. D is an end post made in two sect-ions, d d, preferably of half-round iron, each having a brace-bow, d1, at the base. and bent outwardly, the same being provided with projecting lower ends (Z2 that extend into the wooden or stone support or foundation The two halves are held firmly together by one or more bands or coiled wires, E, and are bowed or concaved at points a. through which the rail passes. D is a wedge, which serves to' make and preserve a close joint between the sections and the foundation. F is a two-part central or brace post, bent out at the lower end to form braces ff,
whose ends f f enter the foundation G at different points. I also, preferably, use the braces H H extending` in the direction of the fence, and on its opposite sides. These posts may be treated to a coat of some cheap weather-proof paint, or 4anologous substance. They are then extremely durable, little subject to decay from atmospheric inuences, and withal conveniently portable.
Its ready detachability and portability give the fence great advantages for surrounding yards or stacks, and making cross-lines or outlines, while, being thoroughly braced, it is not liable to be overturned by winds, heavy snows,
or storms. These considerations, together with the small cost of its manufacture, commend it to the favorable,consideration of all who need a cheap and durable enclosure.
Having thus described my invention, I wish it distinctly understood that I disclaim every thin g described in my specification, or shown in my drawing, except the following, which I claim as new, and of my inventionl. A fence-rail consisting of twisted wires, and spirally interwoven metallic strip having Yprojecting spurs, as shown and described.
2. 'lhe combination ot' two-part post I), wedge D', and foundation G, as and for the purpose specified.
The above specification of my invention signed by me this 30th day ot March, A. l). 187.4.
JACOB HAISH.
