IRON AOR STEEL FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,225, dated February 12:, 1884. Y
l I Application filed August 14, 1893. No model.)
To all whom, it 777/003/ concern,.-
Be it known that I, ROBERT J. GARsON, residing `at Dixon, in the county of Lee and State of Illinois, have invented vcertain new and useful Improvements in Iron or Steel 1 Fence-Posts, of which the following, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specication. v
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a fencepost embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same in the plane ofthe line xm, viewed in the direction indicated by the arrow there shown,
and' Fig. 3 is a section in `the plane of the line x x. i
Like letters of reference indicate like parts. In its general structural plan the fencepost lherein shown and described is similar to that connecting the base-plate and pegs with each other firmly and with facility.
It alsorelates to certain other novel features of construction, all of which will be hereinafter particularly set forth in my claims.
A represents the fence-post proper, and B is the baselplate. The fence-post I make of metal, in an y well-known or suitable way, and
' attach it firmly to the base-plate.
The base-plate consists'of a central portion, a, adapted to receivevand support the post, and of arms or braces a c', which extend radially from the central part, a, a considerable way, and then extend downward and laterally, as shown at a a, the parts a a being inclined and having their upper ends nearer to the central part of the base-piece than the lower ends are. `A
C C arerribs or iianges on the lateral edges of the parts a a of the arms ce a. These parts a. a" are somewhat concave or grooved on their outer faces, as shown at b b, for the purpose hereinafter referred to.
D D are iianged to overlapand engage the lateral edges of the parts a a of the arms a a.
To stiffen or strengthen the pegs D D, I make them curved or curvilinear in cross-section, so as to meet or t the grooved or de pressed outer faces of the parts a c of the arms a. a. V
As the pegs D D are to be driven into the ground by blows from a hammer, and are made of comparatively thin or light metal, their upper ends should be adapted to receive these blows without material injury. To adapt them to receive such blows without injury, I cap or head them by dipping orimmersing these ends into molten metal a sufficient number of times to provide them with a supplemental thickness or head, and such a head will in practice serve the purpose intended.
In order to set the posts, I apply the posts 'proper to the base-plates, and then set these combined parts where the posts are to be located. I then drive the pegs D D down upon and 'over the parts a d of the arms a a and into the ground, the said pegs being of such a length as to anchor the posts nrmly in their proper positions. L
I-Iaving thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by-Letters Patent, is
1. The fencepost base-piece B, consisting of a central portion, a, adaptedto support the post, and of two or more radial arms, a a', having depending and inclined portions a a, with the iianges or ribs C C on their vertical or lateral edges, in combination with the pegs D D, having on their vertical or lateral edges the flanges c c, adapted toengage or clasp theiianges or ribs C C, substantially as hoign and described, and forthe purpose set ort l 2. The pegs D D, Inade Curved or eurvi- In testimony that I olainrthe foregoing as linear between their Vertical edges, and havmy ownl hereto affix ni'y signature in presence ing on the said edges the anges c c, in coinof two Witnesses. bnation with the radial arms a a, curved 5 inwardly on their outer faces, and provided vWitnesses:
with the anges C C, substantially as and for E. C. PARSONS, the purposes speeiied. B. F. SHAW.
