HENRY L. JONES, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
IRON FENCE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 281,077, dated July 10, 1883.
Application filed March 2, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY L. JONES, of the city of Buifalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Iron Fences, of which the following is a specification;
This invention relates to that class of iron fences which are composed of vertical pickets secured to longitudinal iron rails or stringers.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple locking device, whereby these parts are secured together; and it consists in the particular construction of the device which will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the upper portion of an iron fence provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a similar view at right angles to Fig. 1, with the rail in section. Fig. 3 is avertical section in line a; :0, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a top plan view. .Figs. 5 and 6 are cross-sections in lines y y and z a, Fig. 3, respectively. Fig. 7 is an inside view of one part of the locking-sleeve.
iron, and B the pickets, which pass through openings a, formed in the rails A. The openings a, are preferably made round, and pr0- vided with enlargements or recesses a on oppcsite sides of the picket-s. The pickets B are construct-ed of iron bars, preferably square or rectangular in cross-section, and are provided with notches b on opposite sides above the rail A, as shown in Fig. 3.
O is a metallic sleeve or 01381),Whl011 is interposed in the opening a between the picket and the rail A, and provided with a flange or rim, 0, which rests on the top of the rail. The
sleeve 0 is divided vertically into two parts or sections, 0 c, which are made of the proper form in cross-section to fill. the space in the opening a between the picket and rail, each section 0 resting against two adjacent sides of The inner V-shaped faces of the sections 0 are provided with shoulders d, which are arranged in the angles of the V-shaped faces, and project into the notches b in the picket.
e' e are lugs or ears formed on the outer convex sides of the sleeve 0 below the rim 0, and projecting into the recesses a in the rail. The lugs e prevent the sleeve 0 and the picket secured thereto by the shoulders d and notches b from'turning in the rail. f f are two similar lugs formed at the lower end of the sleeve below the lugs e 6, sufficient space being left between the lugs e e and ff to receive a lockingwasher, g. The lugs f are inclined on their upper sides, and they are of the proper form to pass freely through the recesses a when the sleeve is applied to the picket. The washer g is. provided with an opening having enlargements h h, which enables the washer to be passed upwardly over the lower portion of the sleeve 0 and the lower lugs, f, thereof. The washer is inclined in two directions on its under side, it being thinnest at the enlargements h, and thickest midway between said enlargements; XVhen the washer g has been placed ments h it immediately below the lugs ff, the
-washer is moved upward until its lower edge has passed the lugs f, when by turning the washer in the proper direction its inclined lower sides will wedge against the inclined upper sides of the lugs f and draw the sleeve 0 downwardly until the parts are firmly locked together.
The sleeve 0 and washer 9 can be readily with shoulders d, and lugs e e and f f, and a 5 locking-washer, g, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination, with the rail A and picket B, of a sleeve, 0, provided with lugs ff, inclined on their upper sides, and a washer, g, having an inclined lower face, substantially as set forth.
HENRY L. JONES.
