PENNSYLVANIA TOY FENCE Application filed December 27, 1928. Serial No. 328,796.
This invention relates to toy fences and aims to provide an improved sectional fence that can be stamped out of sheet metal, which can be easily assembled or dismantled The main idea is to provide a sturdy and 01113".
mental fence adapted to be used around Christmas trees and window and other displays, and having special provision for receiving a series of small electric lamps on the fence posts.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary, front elevation of a fence embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of one section or panel of the fence;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 33' of Fig. 1; r Fig. 4 is a sectional viewtaken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 55 of Fig. 1. I
Referring particularly to the selected embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing, the fence comprises separable, ornament al panels 10 and posts 11 made of sheet metal stampings. The posts have special pro-vision for receiving small lamp sockets 12 such as are used in ordinary Christmas tree sets, so that the lamps 13 also serve as ornaments.
Herein, the panels are shown as being substantially rectangular and having perforations to produce the desired ornamentation. The upper and lower edges are rolled or bent to provide tubular reenforcing beads 14 to prevent the thin sheet metal from bending laterally. Also, the upper tubular head is adapted to receive and conceal the lamp cord between posts. The ends of the panels are each provided with a pair of attaching ears 15 to engage a post.
If desired, one or more gate panels 16 may be secured between two of the posts, and when attached to only one of the posts, the ears 15 act as a hinge on whichthe gate may swing. As shown in Fig. 1, the singlegate panel is quite similar to the otherpanels, the only difference being in the ornamentation and the length. The upper edge is shown as being rounded and curled over so that it also provides a-channel or conduit for the lamp cord. y
The posts 11 are shown as being made of three simple sheet metal stampings. 'Qne is a cup-shaped base or pedestal 17 and the other two are complementary, substantially semi-cylindrical sections 18, eachhaving two or more ears 19 at its lower end inserted through slots in the base and bent over to hold them assembled on the base. edgesof the sections 18 present radial abutting flanges 20, one crimped over the edge of the otherto prevent them from separating (Fig. 5). These flanges have slots or perforations 21 to receive the ears or tangs 15 ofthe panels.
To provide receiving pockets or receptacles for the small lamp sockets 12, the upper ends ofthe posts are open, and present a reduced neck portion 22 and an ornamental dome or capportion 23. The sections are spaced apart atthe dome to provide opposed slots 24 to recelve the lamp cords leading to the bottom of the lamp socket 12. It will thus be seen that the sockets fit snugly in the pockets and their upper exposed endsfwhich are The side usually beaded, also contribute to the ornamental appearance of the posts. It is understood that the lamp sockets are connected in series as usual and as many lamps as there are posts may be employed.
From the foregoing description, it will be seen that the fences may be made very cheaply of relatively thin sheet metal and that all of the parts can be cut and stamped out very rapidly. Moreover, sets of the panan ornamental cap portion presenting a pocket for an electric lamp socket and Wire receiving slots on opposite sides; and sheet metal panels having curled over reenforcing edges to receive and conceal the lamp cord between posts.
2. A toy fence of the class described comprising sectional, sheet metal posts each having opposite radial fianges' presenting verti; cal slots; sheet metal base members secured to the posts; ornamental cap portions presenting pockets for electric lamp sockets; and panels having horizontally curved ears detachably secured in said slots.
3. In a toy fence of the character described, a tiib'ular sheet metal post having a cupshaped, stamped out base portion; a pair of complemental stamped out, substantially semi-cylindrical sections each having a radial flange; said flanges being crimped and secured together and presenting vertical panel securing slots; and a substantially domeshaped portion at the top of the post providing a pocket to receive an electric lamp socket.
In testlmony, that I claim the foregolng as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature.
WILLIAM I. RAVERT.
