2 Claims.
This invention relates generally to fence-structures and, more particularly, to a certain new and useful improvement in fence-structures of socalled industrial type.
My invention has for its primary object the provision of a fence-structure of the type stated which is simple and economical in construction, which is strong and durable, which is fabricated from a plurality of parts readily assembled and installed with minimum of labor and expense,
and which includes for efficient enclosure-protection an inwardly presented barbed-wire overhang.
And with the above and other objects in view,
my invention resides in the novel features of form, construction, arrangement, and combination of parts presently described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawing,-
Figure 1 is a perspective View of a section of fence-structure embodying the present invention;
Figure 2 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view of the structure, taken approximately along the line 2 2, Figure l;
Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the fence-structure, taken approximately along the line 3 3, Figure 1; and
Figure 4 is an enlarged transverse sectional View of one of the fence-posts, taken approximately along the line 4-4, Figure 2.
Referring now in more detail and by reference characters to the drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fence-structure comprises a plurality of suitably spaced upstanding posts A each formed preferably from a section of flanged channel iron of suitable length and thickness and having a flat intermediate section or web I provided longitudinally with a plurality of spaced apertures 2,
as best seen in Figure 1, for purposes presently more fully appearing, and each embedded at its lower extremity in the ground or in a suitable post foundation or footing B of any conventional design.
45 C, C, designate cap-members or fittings each cast or otherwise constructed of suitable metallic material and each including a lower portion in the form of a downwardly opening cap-like shell or housing c having a front wall 3, side walls 4,
a rear wall 5, and a downwardly presented internal annular shoulder 6 shaped and contoured' for snugly fitting over and embracing the upper end-portion of a post A with the shoulder 6 in endwise abutment with the post upper margins a, the shell c in its front wall 3 further being transversely apertured, as at 7, in registration with the uppermost of thepost-apertures 2 for accommodating a conventional nut-and-bolt assembly 8 by which the fitting C may be rigidly and permanently secured to the top-portion of the respective post A, all as best seen in Figures 2 and 3.
The fitting C also includes a central or intermediate portion c and an integrally formed angularly projecting extension c, the former hav- 10 ing a transversely extending aperture 9 and the latter being of channel formation with a central web l0 and outwardly presented walls II in conformation with the lower end-portion of a corresponding channel-iron overhang arm D, all as 15 also best seen in Figures 2 and 4 and for purposes presently more fully appearing.
Each of the arms D is substantially similar in section, but preferably of reduced dimensions relatively, to the respective posts A and, in prac- 20 tice and installation, is fitted in snug embracing relation over, and by means of a rivet or the like I2 rigidly secured to, the angular cap-extension c with its lower margin abutting the adjacent face of the intermediate cap-portion c', as best 25 seen in Figure 2.
Disposed or sleeved transversely through the aligning or registering apertures 9 of the several post-caps C, is a top or cross rail E, which is of such relative cross-sectional size and shape as to 30 t snugly within said apertures 9 for completing the skeleton framework of the fence-structure; and extending transversely between the posts A and secured to and upon the outer face of the respective post-webs I by means of suitable clips I3 engaged with the web at its aperture 2, is a suitably sized section of fence fabric F of any conventional woven wire or reticulated construction, as best seen in Figure 2.
The flat intermediate section or web I4 of each 40 arm D is also provided longitudinally with a plurality of spaced apertures I5, as best seen in Figure 2, and disposed or stretched transversely across the registering overhang arms D and in like manner secured thereto by means of suite 45 able clips I6 engaged with the web I4 at its apertures I5, is a suitable plurality of parallel strands or barbed-wires G, as best seen in Figure 2.
It will be readily understood that any number of posts A may be set up and spaced at any de- 50 sirable intervals along an enclosed boundary line of any selected shape, depending upon the size and form of the particular area to be fenced. Similarly, it will be obvious that,` by varying the dimensions of the fence fabric section F and the 55 length of theposts A or the arms D, a fence of any suitable height maybe constructed. Thus by my present invention, I provide a fence structure which is exceedingly simple in construction, requiring minimum of labor and time in assembly and installation, 4which is extremely adaptable `for enclosing industrial areas of a wide variety of sizes and shapes, and in which the barbedwire supporting overhang forms an integral, relatively non-removable, sturdy, tamper-proof part of the entire fencing structure difficult indeed to break downfor climb over.
It should be understood that changes and modi- Y upon the upper end of the post and a rearwardly presented extension having an upwardly presented face and two inclined lateral faces, said upwardly presented face and inclined faces being positioned with respect toV each other with snug tting complementary disposition Within the channeled arm, and means extending through the downwardly and upwardly presented faces respectvely'of the channeled arm and cap-extension for securing said arm and said extension in tight itting engagement.
2. In a fence-structure, in combination, a post, a cap having a downwardly presented shell interiorly shaped to conform to the upper end of the post and being snugly fitted upon and secured to said upper end of the post, the cap further having an angularly projecting extension of channeled-shape in section and an overhang arm of corresponding channeled-shape fitted at an end over and secured to said extension for projection angularly from the cap, said arm and said projection being in tight tting abutment at all points of their respectively juxtapositionedfaces.
CARL BAUER.
