FENCE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 248,778, dated October 25, 1881.
Application tiled August 2G, 1881.
To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, LEONARD J. MURPHEY, ot' Vauseon, Fulton county, Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Fence, ot which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to rail-fences and it has for its object to devise means whereby the fence maybe laid in a straight line, instead ot' zigzag, as heretofore, thus ett'ecting a great saving in labor, fence material, and also in the amount ot' ground which the fence occupies.
The invention consists ot" at'rame composed ot'two vertical pieces and as many crosspieces as there are to be rails in the tence, the frame being adapted to be secured to the posts by nails passing through the center ot' the crosspieces, the cross-pieces being of such length as to leave sutlicient space between the sides of the posts and the vertical bars or pieces to hod the ends of the rails.
ln the accompanying drawing, the figure is a perspective view of a fence constructed upon my new plan.
A represents the posts; and B represents the rails, which are held in place by the frames C, which are nailed tothe posts, as shown. This trame O is composed ofthe vertical side bars, ay a, and the cross-pieces b b, which are nailed at their ends to the vertical pieces, as shown. The cross-pieces should be nailed to the vertical side pieces a suitable distance apart to suit the purpose for which the felice is heilig laid, and
(No model.)
they should be ot'such length that when nailed to the post a lspace to admit the ends ofthe rails` will be left between the post and the side bars, and there must be as many cross-pieces as there are to be rails in the fence.
It will be observed that the rails are simply placed in the frames and not secured. This is an advantage, in that the fence can be easily let down between any ofthe posts for the passage ot'a team through a pair ot'bars. Besides this, the tence requires no blocks nor stake nor cap, and the rails may be placed as near together or as far apart as desired. rlhese advantages, together with the fact that the fence may be laid in a straight line requiring less fence material than by the old method, are ot'great incluent, especially in a country where t'encing material is scarce.
Having thus described my invent-ion, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with the post A and rails B, ot' the rectangular frame O, composed ot' the vertical side bars, a, and the horizontal bars b, secured at their ends to the side bars, and at the center of their length to the post, Whereby spaces are t'ormed on each side ot' the post for the reception of the rails, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
LEONARD J. MURPHEY.
