Application filed .Tune 20,
This invention relates to improvements in posts and has especial relation to means for anchoring and bracing fence and other posts.
An object of the present invention is the V provision. of a post anchoring and bracing means, in which the latter acts to assist in holding the former in position, while the anchoring means provides means of attachment for the braces.
vision of novel means for connection between the braces and posts, so that a convenient seat is provided in the post for the reception of the braces.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings Figure 1 is an elevation illustrating the invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional view.
Figure 4: is an enlarged fragmentary section through the upper end of the post.
Figure 5 is an elevation showing a modified form of the invention.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary section of the form of theinvention shown in Figure 5.
Referring to thedrawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a post which is of tubular form and which extends from an anchor plate. This plate is indicated at 11 and is prefer- V ably formed of two right angularly arranged sections having threaded openings therein for the reception of the lower threaded end 12 of the post 10. This construction serves as a means for connecting the two cross sections of the anchor plate and alsov as-a means for connecting the plate 45 and post.
The plate 11 is provided with openings 13 and these openings are preferably inclined for the passage of downwardly and inwardly inclined anchor pins 14. The pins 14 are 50 offset adjacent their upper ends as shown at 15 and these offset portions provide shoulders which bear upon the upper face of the anchor plate 11.
Connected to the upper extended ends ofv the pins 14 are the opposite ends of braces Another object of the invention is the pro- 1927; Serial No. 200,130.
16. These-braces as shown in Figures-1 to 4 of the drawings are made of twisted wire and aretwisted sufficiently to make them taut. By reference to Figure 1 of the drawlngs it will be seen that the braces not only serve to steady and brace the post 10,- but they exert an upward and inward pull upon the upper ends of the pins 14 and not only serve to force the shoulders of the inclined portions 15 of these pins downward against the anchor plate, but also have a tendency to force the lower ends of the pins 14 relatively outward and exert a binding action between the pins and ground.
The upper endof the post is provided with spaced longitudinally disposed slits 17 and the material between these slits is bent inward as shown at 18 so as to provide seats 19 for the reception of the braces 16.
In Figures 5 and 6 of the drawings, the post 10 is shown as made of wood. In addition to the braces 16 which are substantially the same as the braces 16, additional braces 20 of wood are provided. The braces 20 have theirupper ends secured to the post as shown at 21 in Figure6, while their lower ends are engaged by the inturned ends 27 of the anchor plate 11'. The anchor plate and post are connected as indicated at 22,
By anchoring and bracing the Post in the manner shown and described, a strong and rigid post will result from relatively light material, so that the cost of construction will be materially reduced. In addition, the
strength and rigidity of the posts willpermit them to be spaced further apart than is possible with ordinary posts, so that an additional saving of expense will result.
The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction and the right is hereinre'served to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claims.
Having described the invention what is claimed 1s: f
1. In a fence post, an anchor plate, a post carried by and extending upwardly therefrom, inwardly inclined anchor pins extending downwardlv through openings provided in the anchor plate, shoulders included in the pins and bearing against the upper face of the plate, and adjustable bracesengaging' anchor pins, to brace the post and exert an outward force at the lower end of the pins.
' 2. In a fence post, an anchor plate, a post carried by and extending upwardly, therefrom, inwardly inclined anchor pins extending downwardly through openings provided in the anchor plate, oifset portions included in and spaced from the upper ends ofthe pins and defining shoulders bearmgupon 10 the upper face of the plate, and braces engaging the top of the post and extending downward with. their ends. connected to the upper outwardly; inclined. ends of the anchor pins, said braces acting to steady the post and tending to holdthe oifset shoulders 5 v of the anchor 'pins'against the plate, and
further acting to exert an outward force against the lower ends of the pins.
