June 2l, 1932 R. G. WILLIAMS HIGHWAY GUARD FENCE Filed April 3Q, 193].A
In ven for' 'Rol/and G'. Mi/[ams carney Patented June 21, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT oFFIcE ROLLAND G. WILLIAMS, OF BRANFORD, CONNECTICUT, .ASSIGNOR T MALLEABLE IRON FITTINGS COMPANY, OF BRANFORD, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF CONNECT- ICUT HIGHWAY GUARD FENCE Application filed April 30,
My invention relates to highway guard fences, such as are made of iron in tubular form and are utilized on steep grades, and has for its object to simplify the construction of guard fences of this type.
In the accompanying drawing Figure l is an elevation of a part of a fence constructed in accordance with my invention, Y
Figure 2 is a View looking in the direction of line 2-2 of Figure l,
Figure 8 is a view looking in the direction of line 3*3 of Figure 2, and
Figure 4 is a section at the line 4 4 of Figure l.
Similar numerals of reference denote like parts in the several ligures of the drawing.
l are the fence posts mounted in any suitable manner, and 2 are the fence rails.
3 is a metal socket that embraces the post and is formed at its front with a projecting annulus 4 of truncated conical shape.
5 is a metal socket that embraces the fence rail and has extending from its rear a hub 6 that has a recess 7 adjacent the rail, and
whose rear face has a format-ion complementary to that of the annulus 4. In other words. the rear face of the hub 6 has an annular depression 8 with the inclined sides of which the annulus 4 may have a wedging contact.
In assembling the fence, the socket 3 is slipped over the post and the socket 5 positioned with its annulus 4 within the annular depression 8, and a set screw 9 is driven in the recess 7 through the hub 6 and socketr3, against the post with sufficient force to hold said socket to the post temporarily.
The socket 5 is then turned to the desired angular adjustment according to the incline of the rail and the set screw permanently tightened.
The tightening of the annulus of the socket 3 tightly within the annular depression 8, thus firmly securing the two sockets together, and the adjustment screw will Wedge the 1931. Serial No. 534,092.
its rear portion having an annular depression therein complementary to the annulus, the sides of the Vannulus and depression having a Wedging contact, and a. set screw housed within the recess and driven through the hubs and post socket against the post after the rod socket has been adjusted to the desired position.
In testimony whereof I aiix my signature hereto.
ROLLAND G. WILLIAMS.
