WIRE-FENCE BARB'S. No. 181,537. Patented Aug. 29,1376.
- UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
RHEUBIN H. POOLER AND WILLIAM T. J ONES, OF SERENA, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN WIRE-FENCE BARBS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 181,537, dated August 29, 1876; application filed April 10, 1876.
Toall whom it may concern Be it known that we, RHEUBIN H. POOLER and WILLIAM T. J ONES. of Serena, county of La Salle, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Steel Barbs for Wire Fences, of which the following is a specification Figure 1 is a plan view of one of our im-' proved barbs. Fig. 2 is a side view of a barb applied to a fence-wire, the wire being shown in section through the line a: as, Fig. 3. Fig. 3
a single wire, as hereinafter fully described.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. v
The barbs are made of Wrought-steel, and with three points, somewhat resembling the tines and tang of a two-tine fork. The point A is straight, and the points B O are made parallel with each other, and with a slight offset vin opposite directions at their bases, so that they may more readily pass each other when bent down upon the wire D. The barbs are placed upon a single wire, and the points B O are bent down past each other in opposite directions, as .shown in Fig. 2, so as tofirmly clasp the wire, and leave the three points A B O projecting in directions equally distant from each other, or nearly so. The
barbs A B G are applied to the wire D with We do not desire to be understood as claiming a fence-barb having several prongs, two of which are twisted upon the fence-wire in order to attach the same thereto, as such is well known but in the barbs heretofore in use the prongs, which are additional to those intended to be twisted about the fence-wire, were attached by separate operations of welding or the like, and were therefore liable to be dis placed. These barbs were also of round wire, making the attachment of the additional prongs still more difficult, giving a diminished surface of contact between the barb and wire, and rendering the completed article more expensive.
Having now fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The herein-described fence'barb, cut from flat metal, and having three parallel prongs, two of which are provided with flat faces and offset, as shown, and adapted. to be twisted about the fence-wire, in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
