GUARD FOR WIRE FENCES.
Application filed April 3,
This invention pertains to the construction of metal fences, and has particular reference to the fence posts provided with guards or protectors especially designed for the purpose of preventing live stock from riding, jumping, or from approaching too close to the fence or rubbing against it, and thereby damaging the fencing.
The main object of the invention is to provide simple, economical, durable, and thoroughly effective means for the protection of wire fences which will serve to prevent the stock from jumping the fence and at the same time prevent the stock from damaging or destroying the fence.
Another object of the invention is to so construct my improved means that it may be readily secured to a metal post, and may be projected a suitable distance beyond one or both sides of the fence, thus serving to prevent the stock from approaching too close to the fence proper.
The foregoing and such other objects as may appear from the ensuing description are attained by the construction, combination, location and arrangement of the several parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated by the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the claims appended 3O hereto, it being understood that slight changes in the precise shape, proportions and minor details of the construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification it will be seen that:
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the means embodying my invention,
Figure 2 is a side elevation of a portion of the fence post broken away, and showing the guard cross-bar bolted to the post.
Figure 3 is a front elevation of a portion of the fence post broken away and showing the guard cross bar electrically welded to the post, and
Figure at is a plan view of Figure 3.
In the embodiment of my invention as illustrated, the fence post guard or attachment forming one of the essential features of this invention is intended for use in connection with a metal fence including wire fencing, and a specially constructed metal fence post, such as shown in Figure 1 of the drawings, said wire fencing being designated by the numeral 1, which fencing is supported at in- 1928. Serial No. 267,080.
tervals by posts 2, and secured to said posts in any suitable or desirable manner. The metallic posts as illustrated are formed in a single piece substantially T-shaped in cross-section, having a central portion 3 and a laterally extended portion 4: at each side of said central portion. One of the lateral extensions 4 of each post is cut away to the central portion 3 at any suitable point intermediate the height of the post, preferably nearest the top portion thereof for the reception of a metallic cross-bar 5, which is seated against the face of the central portion 3 of the post and between the laterally extended portion thereof, said cross-bar 5 being secured in such position by-bolts if desired, but is preferably electrically welded in the position clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, and each outer end of the cross-bar 5 is provided with an opening 6 for the reception of the guard wire 7, which is preferably barbed and is sup ported in spaced relation to either or both sides of the fencing.
The metallic post cross-bar attachment comprises a single piece of angle iron substantially L-shaped in cross section and may be of any desirable length suitable to retain the barbed wire at the desired distance from the fence proper, said cross-bar being fixedly welded by what is well known as the electric spot welding method, and each end of the cross-bar 4 is provided with a slotted opening 6 for the reception of the barbed guard wire 7 which may be easily and readily secured to or removed from the said cross-bar. This guard wire will successfully prevent the live stock such as horses and cattle from approaching too close to the fence, hence they will be unable to cause damage to the wire fencing.
It will be evident that the cross-bar may be welded so that it will extend to one side of the post only, when the livestock is located only at one side of the fence, and when desired the barbed wire may be readily removed from the cross-bar.
Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A fence guard for wire fencing comprising a metallic post formed with an extended central portion and a lateral extension at each side of the central portion, one of the extensions being provided with a recess, a crossbar located in the recess, and welded tovthe central portion of the post, and each end of PATElNT OFF-ICE.
the cross-bar being provided with a slot for the reception of a guard Wire.
2. A fence guard of the character described, comprising a T-shaped metallic post formed With an extended central portion and a lateral extension at each side of the central portion, one of said extensions being provided With a recess, an L-shaped cross-bar disposed Within the recess and Welded to the central portion'of the post, and each end of said crossbar being provided With a slot for the reception of a barbed guard Wire.
