Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.,
PHILIP HAFFA, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN IRON FENCES.
Specification forming part of L'zttersrPatent No. 164,530, dated June 22, 1875; application filed i April 3, 1875.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, PHILIP HAFFA, ot the city and county of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Gast-Iron Fences, ot' which the following is a specification:
The object of my invention is the manufacure of a fence in which simplicity and cheapness are combined, and at the same time strength and irmness'are secured.
My invention consists ot a pale for a castiron fence, constructed with a full hole in the middle ot' its width, and a recess at each edge at its rear side for the reception of each rail, respectively, the recesses being` so arranged out of line with the hole as to cause the rail to bind hard against their bottom and against the opposite side of the hole, whereby it shall wbe held firmly in its connection with the pale and still have the hole sufficiently large to admit ot' its passing throughwit for a ready connection with the pale, as hereinafter fully described.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front view of a pale, A, of a fence constructed with my improvement, there being the upper rail B in connection with the pale. Fig. 2 is a rear view ot' the saine. Fig. 3 is an edge View. Fig. 4 is a cross-section at the line x x of Fig. l.
Like letters of reference in all the figures indicate the same parts.
A is a pale of a felice, which lnay be constructed of any desired pattern. B is the top rail in connection with the pale A. Its cross' section is represented in t-he drawings of a round form, yet it may be of any desired form by making the openings in the rail 'which receive it of corresponding form. The .pale has a horizontal hole, b,i|1 its middle circular enlargement c, of a size which admits of the rail B being pushed easily through it, whereby its connection therewith may be speedily accomplished, and without any danger ot' breaking the pale, the secure fastening ot' the rail-to prevent shifting or rattling being etteeted in the manner following. The edges of the pale are connected wit-h the rail bymeans of recesses el d, which encircle one-half otl the latter. The recesses are out of line with the hole b enough to cause the front side ot' the rail B to bind upon them, and the rear side ot' the same against the rear side ot' the hole b sufficiently hard to hold the rail firmly iu place without any other fastening.
It must readily appear that the pale above described may be constructed very cheaply, as the recesses at its edges make their own cores, and the hole b With a plain and short core; and, besides, the panels ofthe fence may be put together very expeditiously either at the manui'aetory or on the ground without screws or other fastenin gs.
I claim as my invention- The paleA, having for the reception of each rail a full hole, b, in the middle of its width, and a recess, d, at each edge, so arranged out ot line with the hole b as to cause the rail to bind hard upon the bottoms ofthe recesses and on the opposite side of the hole, substantially in the manner and for the purposes set forth.
