WIR E FENCE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 247,893, dated October 4, 1881.
7, Application filed January 24I 1881. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern: H
Be it known thatI,L0RE1\z0DoW,of Denver, Arapahoe county, and State of Colorado, have invented a new'and useful Improvement in Wire Fences, of which the following is a specification.
The invention consists in combiningsheetmetal posts open longitudinally to give elasticity, and provided with tongues, with Wire rails, of which one is wrapped around each post, whereby the wires are kept taut, as hereinafter described.
In theaccompanyingdrawings, Figure 1 represents a section of fence constructed with my improved posts. Fig. 2 is an elevation,in larger size, of one of the posts with wires attached. Fig. 3 is a. horizontal section of'the post, and Fig. 4 represents a cioss seetion, showing a modification of the post. p
Similar letters of reference indicate co:re sponding parts.
The posts A are formed from strips of sheetiron rolled into therequired tubula-rform, either round, tubular, or' otherwise. The posts are preferablyformedtapering,thelargeren-dbeing the base; and instead of being complete tubes the edges are left a short distance apart, so that the post has a slot lengthwise, as shown at it in Fig. 3, and is rendered elastic. At the side of the post opposite to slot at there are tongues of hook is simple and .convenient, as the wire posts may be galvanized or covered with asphaltum, and will thus be rendered practically indestructible.
In building fences with these posts the posts are first set and the wires then strung by turning out the tongues 0, putting the wires in place, On each and then bending thetongue back. post one ofthe wires is given a turn around the post, so that each wire, when four are used, is thus attached to every fourth-post, as illustrated in Fig. 1. The Wires are thus put under tension, their contraction is allowed by the elasticity of the post, and any slack by expansion is taken up by the posts.
This post is inexpensive, light, and by its shape has the greatest possible amount of strength in proportion to the material used.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to seeureby Letters Patent ln wire fences, the tubular sheet-metal posts A, open longitudinally to give elasticity, and provided with tongues c, in combination with wire rails b, ofwhich oneis Wrapped about each .post, as and for the purpose specified.
