TENT
IMPROVEMENT IN FENCE-POSTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 175,771, dated April 4, 1876; application filed January 29, 1876.
To all whom it 'may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSHUA B. SIOKLER., of Ghews Landing, in the county of Camden and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence- Posts 5 and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suoli a-s will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being` had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specilication, in Which- Figure l is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of my invention, showing the post placed in the soil.
The object of this invention is to provide an improved fence-post of cast-iron, the peculiar novel feature of Which is a Wrought-iron corcrod embedded during the operation ot casting in the two vertical limbs and inthe top of the post, in such a manner as to allow the ends Ot' the rod to project from thelowerend of the cast body, and constitute a means whereby a foot,
piece of Wood may be attached previous to the insertion Ot' the post in the ground.
This post is designed to be strong, durable, light, and cheap, and to be especially' serviceable in stony soil, or under other conditions not admitting of the insertion ofa fenceground beyond a very limited depth.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, A designates a cast-iron fence-post for a railfence of oblong shape, in cross-section, with openings a at intervals for the reception of the rails, which rest upon the the cross-pieces or Webs b. The upper portions of said openings are arched for the purposes of strength. The pieces b are sustained against superincumbent Weight by the vertical pillars situated in the center ot' the open panel-spaces o left in casting between the bottom ot' one opening, a, and the top of the next adjacent opening, as shown. B designates the wroughtiron core-rod, whicli, previous to being applied, is bent to a U-form'.' The rod is then suitably arranged in the mold, after Which the metal is poured in so as to embrace the rod as shown, leaving the portions b projecting and uncovered. O represents the foot of the post, consisting properly and preferably of a piece of wood of suitable length, which is attached to vthe post by simply bending around it the projecting parts b of the wroughtiron core-rod. With this foot` the post requires to be inserted to a short depth only, as when the foot is placed in the hole dug to receiveit, the earth covering rests upon the foot, which thus serves as a stop to prevent the withdrawal or displacement Ot' the post, the Wrought-metal fasteningat the same time preventing breakage Or yielding of parts. L la are shoulders, formed in casting upon the sides of the post at the bottom ot each railsocket, and serving' as additional supports or braces to the rails.
Having thus described my invention, Iclaim and desire to. secure by Letters Patent- The improved cast-iron fence-post A, llaving the wrought-iron rod I) embedded therein, and projecting from the lower end to form fastenings for the foot-piece G, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 21st day of January, 1876.
JOSHUA B. sIOKLER.
