FENCE.
Application led January 4, 1926. Serial No. 79,204.
The invention relates to enclosing means and provides a fence which is portable and adapted to rolling ground, and to be set up with equal ease and dispatch along straight or curved lines, or so as to enclose a space of any outline, the construction being such as to provide a gate controlled opening at any desired point.
While the drawings illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention it is to be understood that in adapting the means to meet specific needs and `requirements the design may be varied, and such other changes in the minor details of construction may be resorted to within the scope of the inventionv as claimed, without departing from the spirit thereof.
For a full-understanding of the invention and the merits thereof, reference is to be had to the following description and, the drawings hereto attached.
Figure 1 is a side view of a length of fence embodying the invention, showing adjacent panels having a synclinal arrangement,
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, adjacent panels having an anticlinalarrangement,
Figure 3 .is an enlarged detail sectional view on the line 3 3 of Figure 2,
Figure 4 is a fragmentary sectional view on the line 4-4 of Figure 2 showing the parts enlarged.
Figure 5 is a detail perspective view of end portions of adjacent panels bordering upon a gate opening, l
Figure 6 is a detailsec'tional view on the line 6 6 of Figure 5,
Figure 7 is an enlarged vdetail sectional view on the line 7 7 of Figure 1, and
Figure 8 is an enlargedrperspective view of one of the spreaders.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in the several views of the drawings by like reference characters.
The" fence comprises posts and panels, the posts being set up along the prescribed line of fence and spaced apart to receive the panelsthe latter being readily conformable A to the'contour of the surface, substantially as indicated in Figures l and 2 of the drawings. The posts are preferably of metal and are provided with points 1 to be driven into the ground to insurea substantial and firm support for thepanels. Each of the posts 2 consists of a pipe or tube of suitable length and diameter and the points 1 may be applied thereto in any preferred way. Each of the posts 2 is surmounted byv a cap 3 and receives bands 4. Each of the bands 4 consists of a metal strap having its interme- .diate portion bent into circular outline to pair and a lower pair of bands 4, the bands of each pair being oppositely disposed to engage the panels at opposite sides of the posts,
as indicated most clearly in Figures 1 and 2.
The fence panels are of'like construction, each consisting of end battens 7, longitudinal stays 8, parallel longitudinal wires 9, a vertical stay 10 and brace 11. The end bat tens 7 consist of metal strips to which the longitudinal stays 8 and wires 9 are connected to admit of relative vertical movement of the battens so that the anels will readily conform to the surface o? the ground, as indicated most clearly in Figures 1 and 2. The longitudinal stays 8 are pivoted at their ends to the battens 7, as indicated at 10, and the ends of the stays are formed with open slots to receive the battens 7, as indicated most clearly in Figure 4, and in this manner, the battens are held in the plane of the panels. Each of the battens 7 is provided adjacent its ends with longitudinal slots 12, desi bands where y the panels are connected to the posts 2. The slots 12 provide for a limited vertical adjustment of the panels so that the ends of adjacent panels may be a'lined or adjusted to suit the surface of the ground, thereby admitting of the top of the panels conforming to the outline of the surface to present a symmetrical appearance and appear at a uniform distance from the surface of the ground. The stay 10 consists of a wire looped about the longitudinal wires 9 and stays 8, as indicated most clearly in Figure 3. The brace 11 is pivoted at one end to a batten 7 and its opposite end is pivoted to a band 13 similar to the bands4 and slidably mounted upon a longitudinal Vstay 8. The ends of the brace 11 are bent at a right angle, as indicated at 14, andthe terminal portions are threaded to receive a nut 15 ed to receive the bolts 6 of the l nuts 15 are retightened, thereby securing the brace and fixing the position of the panel. It will 'thus be understood that the band is adapted to move along the stay 8 upon which it is mounted.
Each of the fence posts is provided with a spreader to hold the upper and the lower lbands 4 apart the required distance and this spreader consists of a stout wire having its end portions beni', into circular outline, as indicated at 16 to encircle a fence post, and an intermediate connecting portion 17 which extends along a side of the post. These spreaders space the upper and lower bands 4 when setting up the fence and applying the panels thereto, it being understood that the bolts 6 are removed when inserting a batten 7 between the offstanding end portions 5 of the bands 4. It is observed that the construction is such as'to admit of the panels readily conforming to the surface of the ground, or the arranging of the panels so as to enclose a space of any outline, it being understood that adjacent panels may be disposed at any angle according to the space to be fenced in.
To provide a gate opening, one end of a and egress. The bolts connecting the pivotal end of the panel are loosened to admit of the bands 4 turning freely upon the post, whereby a hinge joint for the panel, or gate is provided. The swinging' panel or gate is made fast when closed by turning the bolts 18 so that their fiat heads 19 extend crosswise of the slots 12, as indicated most clearly in Figures 5 and 6, and when the panel or gate is adapted to be swung into open position, the bolts 18 are turned So that their iiat heads 19 register with the slot 12 and in this position of the bolts 18 the gate or swinging panel may be readily opened or closed, as will be comprehended.
Having thus described the invention, I claim: f
l. In a fence, the combination of posts, bands mounted on the posts and having olfst-anding portions, panels between the posts having detachable connection with the bands thereof, one of the panels having a hatten at one end, in which is formed a longitudinal slot, and a flat headed bolt mounted in the otl'standing portions of a band and adapted to have its fiat head pass through the slot of the hatten and adjusted crosswise of the slot to lock the panel in closed position.
2. A fence, comprising posts, upper and lower bands `mounted upon the posts -and having o'lf'standing portions, bolts'mounted in the otfstanding portions of the bands, spreader means associated with the posts for holding the bands in spaced relation, and panels, comprising end battens in which are formed longitudinal slots to receive the bolts mounted in the oistanding portions of the bands.
In testimony whereof I atiiX my signature.
