ATTORNEYS- NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOSIAH WORMUTH, OF KINNEYS FOUR OORNERS, NEW YORK.
FENCE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,030, dated November 22, 1881.
Application filed January 29, 1881.
To all whom it may concern:
Be itknown that I, JOSIAH WORMUTH, of Kinneys Four Corners, in the countyofOswego and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Fence; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention is an improvement in the class ot'farm-fences in which the rails or boards forming the panels are supported by means of wires attached to the posts. Iemploy boards, rails, or poles to form the panels, and instead of posts set in holes dug in the ground I. may use stakes, which, bring sharpened to adapt them for driving, greatly facilitate the erection of the fence or its removal from one place to another. The invention relates particularly to the manner of applying and securing the wires to the.
posts or stakes.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure l is a side view,With part broken away, of two fence-panels constructed according to my plan; and Fig.2 is a side view of a stake having wires attached as I propose.
The letters A A indicate a series of horizontal rails, and B B vertical stakes, to which the rails are secured by means of the wirefastenings O. The latter are each formed of a single wire having as many loops at as there are panelrails A, and attached to the stakes B by nails 1), that are driven through smaller loops c-that is to say, the wire is twisted around each of the several nails b,leaving a slack between the nails,which constitutes the larger loops a, that receive the lapped ends of the rails A.
(No model.)
The most important peculiarity of my fastening, in addition to forming the eyes to receive the rails, is that the largerloops a depend below the rails which secure them, so that the weight of the rails causes a direct downward pull on the nails, whereas in other fastenings of this class, the loop being above the lower nail of each pair, the pull or strain is mainly lateral, so far as relates to the lower nail of a pair. The result in my case is, that the nails and wire are subjected to less strain,so that the nails retain their hold in the post longer, and the wire may be of smaller size, and will remain intact or unbroken for a longer time.
i am aware that wire loops have heretofore been attached to fence-posts for the purpose of supporting rails, and I therefore lay no claim, broadly, to such construction.
WVhat 1 claim is- The combination, with the post or stake B, of rail-fastenings formed of a single wire, 0, secured to the top of the post, thence bent around a series of nails, 1), driven at regular intervals into the post, and forming nail-loops 0 parallel to the plane ofthe post, and loops at at right angles to the plane of the post, and each depending below its nail, and a series of rails resting against the heads of the nails, substantiall y as described.
JOSIAH WORM UTH.
