3 Claims. 01. 256-19) This invention relates to fences, and while the inven- By making the the structure is posts are not attacked by in- The horizontal members are entirely above It is an object of this invention to provide a fence havproduced easily and inexpen- It is another object of the invention to provide a fence which can be easily assembled on the site.
It is another object of the invention to a fence which provides privacy by obscuring the view and reflecting sounds and yet permits the passingof breezes and light.
Other objects and advantages of my construction will become apparent as the specification proceeds to describe the invention with reference drawings, in whichto the accompanying Fig. l is a top view of a portion of the fence in 40 Fig. 2 is sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1
with the upper bars removed to more clearly show the post structure;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 3-3 Referring now to drawings, the intermediate posts 10 are mounted vertically with a The sides of the slots 16 diverge the vertical. It should be under- The corner posts 12 have slots '18 extending inward- The sides of slots 18 diverge Recess 20 has sides equal in width to 18 to permit the horizontal bars slots 18 after the horizontal bars 18. Interference between bars Metal reinforcing rods or wires are cast in the posts 5 are cast in posts 10 and bolts 28 6 A bar support 36 is secured to each top rail 30 by a bolt 38. A curb 40 of 'concrete is poured'along the length of the fence. The curb 40 supports the posts 10 and 12, and it secures the lower end ofbar support 36. Bar support 36 engages the inner edges'fof bars 22 and 24 to prevent them from sagging or warping: It should be understood that although I prefer bar support 36 to be in form of channel shown, other structural shapes may be used. Bar support 36 also functions to hold the bars 22 and 24 in place in the slots 16 and 18 of the posts 10 and 12 respectively. The curb 40 provides an edge against which the grass can be moved thus avoiding the need for trimming the grass.
The lower edges of the bars 22 and 24 are in substan-i 3 plane with the upper edge of tially the same horizontal I the bar immediately below so that the space enclosed by the fence cannot beviewed from the outside. The fence ends at the inside faces of said intermediate posts to removably receive bars inserted into said inclined elongated slots and being inclined downwardly with respect to the inside faces of said intermediate posts, a corner post substantially rectangular in cross-section and being provided with a recess at the inner longitudinal corner, said corner post being provided with downwardly inclined elongated slots extending inwardly from the sides.
adjacent the inner corner and having open ends in the recess to removably receive bars, a plurality of bars extending post and having their ends supported in the elongated slots of said cornerpost and said intermediate posts.
2. A fence comprising intermediate posts substantially rectangular in cross-section and having elongated slots extending inwardly slots in said intermediate posts having open ends at the inside faces of said intermediate posts and being inclined downwardly with respect to the inside faces of said intermediate posts, a corner post substantially rectangular in cross-section and having a rectangular recess at the corner, said corner post having downwardly inclined elongated slots extending inwardly from the sides ad-' jacent the inner corner and having open ends in the recess, a plurality of bars extending between said intermediate posts and said corner post and having their ends supported in the elongated slots of said corner post and said intermediate posts, rails extending between said intermediate posts and said corner posts, means securing said rails to the tops of said intermediate posts and said corner post, a curb receiving said intermediate and corner posts at the ground level, and bar support members secured to said rails and to said curb intermediate of said intermediate posts and saidlcorner post to engage and support said bars.
