XVILLIAM COKAYNE, OF GEETINGSVILLE, INDIANA.
PORTABLE FENCE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 300,221, dated June 10, 1884.
Application filed October 15, 1883. (Modem To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM Connrnn, of Geetingsville, in the county of Clinton and State of Indiana, have invented a new and use,- ful Improvement in Portable Fences, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,
in which similar letters of reference indicate construction and arrangement of the parts, as
hereinafter more fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.
Each panel of the fence is formed of horizontal boards A, attached at one end to a post, B, and at the other end to an end bar, C. The panels maybe formed wholly of boards, posts, and end bars; or the top board may be replaced by a barbed or a plain wire, D. The ends of the boards A that are attached to the post B project from two to six inches beyond the said post, and the ends of the boards A that are attached to the end bar, 0, are flush with the side of the said bar, except two, which have tenons E formed upon them.
In the posts B, behind the rear ends of the boards A, that have tenons E upon their forward ends, are formed gains F, to receive the tenons E- of the adjacent panels, connecting the panels and keeping them in line with each other. The lower end of the post B projects below the lowest or base board A, and has an angular recess, G, formed in its forward edge,
the half-dovetailed lower end of the post B, so that a key, J, can be driven into the recess I between the straight rear edge of the said post B and the straight end or shoulder of the'said recess I. The key J is made wedge-shaped, so that it will force the dovetailed edge G of the post B snugly againstthe dovetailed shoulder 0f the recess I, and thus lock the post B securely to the sill H. The wedge-key J is made sixteen inches (more or less), in length, so that it will enter the ground eight or ten inches, as illustrated in Fig. 2, and thus fasten the sill and panel securely in place upon the ground. The panel A B O is secured in an upright position by inclined brace-rods K, the upper ends of which are inserted in inclined holes L, bored in the front and rear edges of the upper part of the post B. The lower ends of the brace-rods K are inserted in inclined holes M, bored in the end parts of the sill H.
From the bottoms of the holes M holes N, of a less diameter, are bored through the sill H, so that any water that may enter the holes M will flow through the holes N- into the ground, and will thus be prevented from remaining in the said holes and causing the sill H to rot. The brace-rods K are made of such a length that the weight of the fence will be supported by the said rods, while the wedgekey J keeps the said fence securely in place.
In erecting the fence the post B of the first panel is inserted in the recess I in the first sill, H. The brace-rods K are inserted in the holes L M, and the wcdgekey J is driven into the recess I in the rear of the post .13. The ten ons E of the second panel are inserted in the gains F of the post B of the first panel, and the post B of the said second panel is secured to its sill H in the manner hereinbefore described, and so on until the desired length of fence has been erected.
I am aware that a portable fence provided on its upper face, and a dovetailed mortise passing through the sill near its middle, and a post having a dovetailed tenon at its lower end to engage with the dovetailed mortise in the sill, the said post being provided with a tapering passage, a wedge-key through the post, and side braces, is old; and I am also aware that a half-dovetailed slot in a bed-piece or sill, to receive the lower end of a post, and
with a sill having two or more pairs of notches ones of which are provided with tenons E at one end, and braces K, the ends of the boards A opposite the tenons being secured to the 15 post B over the gains F, forming, with the gains, rnortises in the post for the reception of the tenons E of the adjacent panel, as set forth.
WILLIAM COKAYNE.
