UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PERCY J. HINDMABSH, OF LINQOLN, NEBRASKA, ASSIGNQB TO THE AMERICAN STEEL AND WIRE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY, A CORPORATION 01 NEW JERSEY- FENCEPOST.
Application filed October 3, 1924. Serial No. 741,421.
- with posts heretofore provided.
Another object is to provide notches or depressions along the longitudinal edges of the flanges of the post for holding the fence securing clips against longitudinal movement.
l A further object is to provide a post having the novel construction, design and combination of parts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings- Figure 1 is a front elevation vof apost constructed in accordance with this inven-- tion.
the line IIII of Figure 1.
- Figure 3 is a fragmentary front elevation showing a slightly modified form of post.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the fence post as shown is substantially T shaped in cross section and has the general characteristicsof a rail in that it comprises a web or stem portion 2, flanges or back 3 and a head or bulb-like enlargement. 4 along the longitudinal edge of the web opposite the flanges 3. The enlargement 4 serves to strengthen or stiffen the post and prevents fiexingthereof during the.
driving of the post or during use. I
The flanges or back 3 are provided with a flat outerorfence enga i-ng face, and are of a materially greater wid th than the depth of the web or stein 2. The extra wide flanges or back 3 serves to provide a maximum hearing surface for the fencing wire and also provides ample surface in the ground to give stability without the use of anchor plates or the like.
I It will be understood, however, if desired, anchor plates (for example the anchor 6 shown in Figure 1) may be provided to provide further stahility in the ground.
- The fencing, designated'by thenumeral 7,
4 is adaptedto-be held in positionon posts of this class by clips 8, which have their 'endsbent back to engage around the edges of the flanges or back 3. In-ordih' to pre- Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view on 'of any suitable construction vent the fencing 7 and clips 8 from moving longitudinally relative to the posts, I provide a continuous series of undulations forming notches or depressions 9 in the longitudinal edge faces of the flanges or back 3, into which the clips 8 are adapted to be fitted, and since the clips 8 are of such size that they will fit snugly against the lowermost portion of the depressions they cannot move vertically.
In Figure 1 I have shown the notches 9 in the opposite side edges of the flanges or back 3 in line with each other. However, if desired, the notches may be staggered as shown in-Figure 3.
It will be understood that the use ofthese posts is. not limited to woven wire fencing, as shown in the drawings, but may also be used to support plain or barbed wire, netting or any other kind of fencing, as desired. 1
The principal advantage of posts constructed in accordance with this invention is that they afford a maximum of bearing surface for the fencing, and that the notches are so positioned that they will hold the clips 8 regardless of whether knots or other heavy portions of the fencing are against the face of the posts.
- Heretofore posts have been made with projections on the wire engaging face of the ts, which projections were adapted to old the fencing and clips against longitudi'nal movement relative to the posts. How- Y of a. T-bar having relatively broad"flat, continuflanges or back, said back having. one series of undulations-.formin 'notches along the longitudinal edge facest ereof.
2. X rolled metallic fence post consistin of a having; a stem .portionenlarge seat in the notches and,
along its free longitudinal edge to form a bulb ada ted to strengthen and stifien said post, an vhaving its flanges or back of .ma-
.terially greater width than the depth of saidstem, said flanges or back portion having a flat outer face and being provided with I dulations of said edges forming notches or depressions to receive fence retaining. clips.
3. A rolled metallic fence post consisting of a T-bar having its flanges or back of materially greater width than the depth of its stem, and-said flanges or back portion having a flat outer face and. being provided with a continuous series of undulations along the full length of its longitudinal edges, the undulations of said edges forming depressions to receive fence retaining clips. 4. A rolled metallic fence post consisting of a T-bar having its flanges or back of materially greater width than the depth of its stem, said flangesor back portion havinga notches or flat outer face and being providedwith a continuous series of undulations along the full length of its longitudi'nal edges, saidundulations consisting of short curved concave portions connected by long curved convex portions, and said concave portions forming notches or seats to receive and hold fence retaining clips against vertical movement.
In testimony whereof I have hereuntoset my hand.
PERCY -J. HINDMARSH.
