K FENCE POST.
No. 250,573. A Patented Deo. 6,1881.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.,
OLIVER POTTER, OE PORTAGE, OHIO.
FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,573, dated December 6, 1881.
- Application filed October 10, 1881. (Model.)
To all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, OLIVER POTTER, of Portage, in the county Ot' Wood, and in the State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Fence-Posts; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference-being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the lett-ers of reference marked thereon,makin g a part of this specification.
This invention relates to cast-iron fence-posts which are adapted either for narrow horizontal boards or for wires.
In the annexed drawings, Figurcl is an ele- Vation of the channeled side ofthe new fencepost, showing sections of boards confined in their places. Fig. 2 is a side elevation ot' Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view ot' the bach of the post, showing` its serpentine bracing-rib. Fig. 4 is a cross-section through dotted line x x, Fig. 2.
In the annexed drawings, A designates the body of the post on that part which is exposed above ground, and B is the base or foot of the post, which is intended to be driven into the ground. These parts are cast in one piece of metal,.and the part B is made like a troughthat is to say, it is formed of two sides united to a back, one side being omitted. The edges at a a a of the base B are sharp, for facilitating its entry into the ground while driving the post.
The base B terminates at its upper end in an anvil, b, on which the hammer or other driving instrument is used during the act of xing thepostintheground. Thatportionofthepost which extends above the surface of the ground is constructed with lips or Ilanges c, which leave`transverse grooves or channels d, and vertical channels c intersecting thc latter, as shown in Fig. l.
The hack of the post has a serpentine rib, f, cast on it for the purpose of adding strength without materially increasing the weight.
D D designate the narrow fenceboards, which lie in the horizontal channels d, and are contined therein by means of a narrow strip, G, which may be made of wood or metal, and which is securely confined in its place in the channels c between the flanges 'c by means of screws or bolts, as shown in Fig. l.
Instead ofusing the boards, as shown, I may x staples into the post at suitable points and secure wires to them, thus making a wire fence.
Having described my invention, I claim- As a new article ot manufacture, the fencepost consisting ot the drive-base B, the sharp edges a a a, the anvil b, the vertical channel e, the transverse channels d, all cast in one piece, and the strip Gr, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses, this 29th day .of September, 1881.
OLIVER POTTER.
