Nl ETALLIC FENCE-POST.
PECIFICATION forming part of Letters atent No. 278,779, Vdated June 5, 883.
(No model.)
post; and Fig. 4 is also a cross-section, show-v ing a modification of the standard or post.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the different drawings.
A is the post,made of thin fiat iron about an eighth of an inch thick and of the requisite length, slightly tapering from base to top, and
made scalloped in form, as shown in Fig. 3.
The object of making it scalloped in form is to give the greatest amount of strengthto the least amount of metal. The lower end rests in socket C in base B. This base is made with a bed-piece, and upon this bed-piece is a rib or iiange extending upwardly, and through this flange and bed-piece is the socket C, in which is placed the lower end of the post. The socket is made slightly tapering, and the lower end of the post is made tapering to conform to the shape of the socket. projects slightly below the bed-piece,where it is headed down, as at D,'which holds it snugly in position in the socket. The bed-piecev is held xedly to the ground by the pins E E,
The post` driven obliquely through holes at each end and into the ground. These pins can be made of any suitable material. F F are recesses cut in the edge of the post for the reception of thev wire, and when the wire is placed in position the recess is closed up, as shown at I.
Fig. 4 shows the shape of the post, corrugated in form, should it be desired to so make it. As before stated, the object of the scalloped and corrugated forms is toV give the greatest strength possible to the least amount of metal, thus insuring a metallic fence-post having the characteristics of lightness, cheapness, and service.
The great weight of metallic fence-posts heretofore made has made them so expensive that they could not go into general use. rIhis difficulty is obviated in this post. The bed-piece can be placed on the surface of the ground, or below the surface, as desired.
I am aware that metallic fence-posts have been madecorrugated or curved, and also with base fastened to the ground with pins, but not as herein shown.
I claim- A metallic fence-post consisting of the standard A, base B, provided with an upwardlyextending flange, and tapering socket C, in which rests the lower end of standard A, headed at under side of base, and pins E E, passing through holes at each end of base, as and for the purpose shown. v l
