FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 311,693, dated February 3, 1885.
Application ijled April 2U, 1584. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom, t may concern:
Be it known that I, PHILIP VANBRIGGLn,a citizen of the United States, residing` at Itussiaville, in the county ofHoward and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and usei'ul Improvements in Fence-Posts and Fastenings, ot' which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to fence-posts and fastenings therel'or, and has l'or its object the production ot' a strong and durable post, and to provide means i'or securing the panels thereto and to each other. rIhese objects are at:- tained by the devices illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part otthisspecitication, in which- Figure l is an elevation, and shows the iron post and the base which holds it in section. Fig. 2 shows the ends ot' two ot' the boards forming the panels and the manner ot' fastening theni to a post. Fig. 3 is a staple. Fig. 4 is a splice-coupler. Fig. 5 is a transverse section of the post and clay base. Fig. 6 is a detailed view of two of the ends of two boards out into a dovetail forni, and shows the openings therein for the passage of the staples forniing part of the fastening whereby the boards are attached to posts. In this view the ends ot' the boards and ot' the post are broken away. Fig.` 7 is asectional view of part of a post and of two ofthe boards forming the panels. This View indicates the manner of using the fastenings.
The letter A indicates a post,made of iron, in which are a series of' pairs of elongated perforations, a, placed about four inches apart, and spaced oit' on the post so as to give the proper distance between the boards or barbed wire, as shown in Fig. l of the drawings.
B is a base, made of burnt clay, and is intended to be about sixinches in diameter and about twentyeight inches long. It may be made of any convenient shape for the purpose, but is preferably round, iu order to be more readily adapted to circular holes iin the ground, bored with an auger for that purpose. The 'base Bis hollow, as shown at B, to receive the post A. which is set therein with cenient.
C indicates the ends oftwo boards cut in the dovetail shape shown in Fig. 2, and provided with suitable openings, d, for the passage ot' the staples D, which are beveled froin the in side outwardly at the points, as this shape facilitates their being clinched on the back side ofthe post A, either when they are placed over the barbed wire forming the panels of the fence or over the spliced coupler E, which is made ot' a stout piece ot' wire bent into the shape of an S, as shown in Figs, 2 and 4, and adds to the strength ot' the fastening when boards are used for the panels ofthe fence, as it extends across the splice, as shown in Fig. 2 ofthe drawings.
I am aware that t`ence-posts have been made with elongated openings, and, also, that they have been secured to a hollow base by means of cement. I do not claim such construction, broadly; but,
Having described niy invention, what I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
Afence-post, A, ofiron, provided with elongated openings c, adapted to receive staples D, said post bring secured in a hollow burntclay base, B, by means of cement, in combination with boards O C', having openings d, staples D, and S-shaped couplings E, as described, and for the purposes set t'orth.
In testimony whereof I aiiX niy signature in presence of two witnesses.
PHILIP VANBRIGGLE.
