Feb. 17, 1931. F. LINDEMUTH FENCE POST Filed July 26, 1927" INVENTOR. F L L/ndcmuf/ W,Q W

Patented Feb. 17, 1931 UNITED stares FRANCIS L. LINDEMUTH, or PUEBLO, COLORADO, AssIGnoR To'rHEcoLonADo FUEL PATENT OFFICE AND IRON COMPANY, OF DENVER, COLORADO, A CORPORATION OF COLORADO FENCE Ifosr Application filed July 26, 1927. Serial No. 208,515.
My invention relates to metal posts of the type used in building fences and the like and it is an object of the invention to provide a metal post of V-shaped section in which strength and rigidity of construction are combined with lightness in weight and practicability in use and production.
Another object of the invention is to pro vide in association with a post of the abovedescribed character, eflicient, strong and readily applied means for fastening the fence wires thereto, and a further object is to provide in connection with the post an improved means to securely anchor the post in the soil.
An embodiment of the invention has been illustrated'in the accompanying drawings in the several views of which like parts are similarly designated andin which Figure 1 represents a fragmentary elevation of a fence including posts, anchoring means and wire fastening devices in accordance with the present'invention,
Figure 2, a fragmentary side view of one of the posts,
Figure 3, an enlarged cross-section taken on the line 33 of Figure 1, and
Figure 4:, a cross section along the line 4-4 Figure 1, drawn to an enlarged scale.
Referring further to the drawings, the
The notches 8 formed in a continuous series along the face of the reenforcing rib, may be of ratchet shape and their lower ends are curved to provide rounded shoulders 9 on which, in practice, the fence wires are supported.
The shape of the notches has a particular advantage in enabling the post to accommodate various sizes of wires interchangeably as any wire regardless of size, will seat in the'lowercurved portion of its notch and will not be permitted vertical play, because of the overhanging portion 8. Furthermore, a post havingteeth of this shape can be economically rolled as it is not necessary to redress the rolls and thus protusions for the notches may be maintained for a considerable length of time.
'The means for fastening the fence wires in place in their respective seats consist of wire clips of V-shaped form which embrace the rib 6 of the post and which at their extremities are bent around the edges of the sides of the same.
It will be observed that the legs of the clips extending across the sides of the post at an acute angle to each other, resist deformation under stress owing to a substantially straight and lengthwise tension and that therefore the clips will hold the wires securely in their seats against lateral displacement.
The rib at the apex of the angle of the post reenforces the construction and permits of forming the sides of the same of comparatively thin metal, and this feature taken together with the angular shape of the post insures with less amount of weight, a post as strong, if not stronger, than other metal posts at present in use.
By reason of the ease With which a post of the described form may be rolled to a very thin section of greater over-all dimensions, the production ofthe post is practical and inexpensive, and owing to the fact that the metal is spread over a great area, the post provides a firm anchorage when driven into the ground. I
If, as occurs under certain conditions, it desirable to provide additional anchoring means, a blade of the form illustrated in Fig ures 1 and 3, is of practical value. The blade 12 is V-shaped in correspondence with the angle of the post. It is fitted in the angle of the post and projects beyond the edges of the same to provide wings 13 that may curve around and beyond the edges to better withstand the lateral-strains to which the fence of which the posts are part, is subjected when in use.
The anchor is fastened in the angle of the post by rivets 14 welding or other means and the upper and lower edges of its wings are slanted to reduce resistance when the post is driven in the ground.
I claim:
1. A fence post having a longitudinal rib provided with ratchet shaped notches curved at their lower ends to provide shoulders for the support of fence wires.
2. A fence post having a longitudinal rib provided with a continuous series of ratchet shaped notches curved at their lower ends to provide shoulders for the support of fence wires.
3. A fence post having a longitudinal rib provided with ratchet shaped notches curved at their lower ends to provide shoulders for the support of fence wires, and a clip for fastening each wire and retaining same in the lower curved end of its respective notch.
In testimony whereof I have afixed my signature.
FRANCIS L. LINDEMUTH.
