UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES H. BARR, OF FITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO THOMAS B. KERR, OF SAME PLACE.
WIRE FENCE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,207, dated November 27, 1883.
' Application filed May 21, 1883. (N model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES H. BARR, of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Wire Fences; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
My invention relates to that class of wire fences in which the wires are provided with plates at proper intervals for the purpose of rendering the fence visible, and thereby warning cattle of the presence of the barrier. When the tablets or wires are provided with barbs, the visibility of the fence reduces the liability of animals being injured by the barbs.
To enable others skilled in the art toinake and use my invention, I will now describe it by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- I Figure l is a side view of one form of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a plan view. Figs. 3and 4 are perspective views of modifications.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, the plate or tablet ais made of sheet metal, and is provided with notches b in two opposite edges. The other edges are provided with barbs 0, form ed by cutting the plate diagonally and turning the points outward. The plate is inserted between the strand-wires d, and the latter are twisted up close into the notches b. This secures the plate firmly in place and guards against its lateral dislodgment.
In Fig. 3 I show a plate in which the notches b are formed by a diagonal cut, and the point thus severed turned out to act as a barb, c. 'InFig. 4. barbs 0" are formed by bisecting the corners and turning the points thus formed in any desired direction.
The advantages of my invention consist in the security with which the plates are fastened 0 in the wires, the lightness and durability of the plates, and the strength and cheapness of the barbs, they being formed on and constituting a part of the plate.
A fence-wire provided with these plates can be rolled up in the same manner as barbed wire is usually put up for sale.
I am aware that pointed guard-plates, knifeedged guard-pl ates notched to receive the wire, and barb-edged guard-pickets have heretofore been combined with wire-cable fencing, and do not hreinbroadly claim such devices; but, in the first place, the guard-plates secured by the strands of the cable, as heretofore used, were not of acharacter to present an effective barbed 5 5 surface and at the same time act as guardplates; and, secondly, the guard-pickets, while devoid of said disadvantages, could only be used with the several wires of a section of fencing, and could not be secured to the wire cable when manufactured. Therefore What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combined guard-plate and barb, consisting of a flat plate notched on two of its 6 edges and having its remaining edges cut diagonally, and the points thus formed bent out ward to form barbs, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of May, A. D. 1883.
CHARLES H. BARR.
