NITED STATES .EDWIN S. LENOX, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
FENCE-WIRE FASTENING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,566. dated March 25, 1884.
Application filed June '4, 1863. (No model.)
To all 1071 0111, it may concern Be it known that I, EDWIN S. LENOX, of Worcester, in the State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvementin FenceWVire Fastenings, of which the following is declared to be a description.
Fence-wires are frequently in the formof a flat ribbon with projecting barbs, and these are secured at the ends or at intervals to posts by staples, and then the ribbon is twisted, which tightens the same, and then staplesare driven into the intermediate posts to secure In this operation the wire or ribbon is ofteninj'ured and it subsequently breaks.
My invention is for the purpose of lessening the risk of injury to the Wire and for fur: nishing a cheap and strong connection to the post, and one that is not liable to be injured under the ordinary circumstances of use.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side View of the fastening. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same,
and Fig. 3 represents the piece of metal as cut out ready to be bent up.
This fence-Wire fastening A may be made from scrap or band iron. It is cut out with a V-shaped opening, at, having lips I), and it is provided with one or more perforations, 0, adapted to the reception of nails or staples, by means of which it is secured to the fencepost. When the fastening is folded double,as
seen in Fig. 2, the staple cl is passed through the two holes, and the central part of the staple is between the folded part, and both ends of the sheet-metal head A are similar, there being two V-shaped notches and lips, as shown.
This fastening is preferably galvanized, so that the staple and the head are thereby connected, and the staple can be driven into the [post by striking upon the ends of the fastening A, or a suitable swage may be laid against 40 the staple and struck with a hamnier.
The fence-wire ribbon or strip is laid into the V-shaped notch in the head after being twisted as aforesaid, and the lips I) prevent the wire slipping out of the notch under the ordinary circumstances ofuse, because the twist of the wire causes its upper edge to set tightly beneath one of the lips b, as indicated by the dotted line.
I do not claim a spike that is provided with a head having a V-shaped notch with lips, as this has been used. In my improvement I am able to use pieces of hoop-iron by providing one or more holes for the nails or staple.
I claim as my invention 55 1. A fastening for fence-wire, made of metal and having a V-shaped slot and lips, and one or more holes through the same for the nails or staples employ ed for attaching the fastening to the posts, substantially as set forth.
2. The fastening for fence-wire, composed of sheet metal with twoV-shaped slots, .folded and perforated for the reception of the attaching staple or rails, substantially as set forth.
3. The fastening for fence-wires, composed of sheet metal with two V-shaped slots with lips and perforations, in combination with the staple passing through sheet metal, and the parts galvanized. as set forth.
. Signed by me this 26th day of May, A. D. 70
