UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SAMUEL L. KNEPPER, OF FINDLAY, OHIO.
FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 332,807, dated December 22, 1885,
Application filed September 12, 1885. Serial No. 176,929.
To aZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL L. KNEPPER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Findlay, in the county of Hancock and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification,in which the figure represents a perspective view of a fence-post embodying my invention.
My invention relates tocertain improvements in fence-posts; and the same consists in the devices which I shall hereinafter fully describe and claim.
To enable others skilled in the artto make and use my invention, I will now describe its construction and the manner in which I have carried it out.
In the said drawing, A represents the basetimber, provided at or near its center with a double inclined or beveled portion, a,- and B B represent the posts. These posts are each provided at their lower ends with an inverted- V-shaped notch, 12, of a size and configuration corresponding with the inclined or beveled portion a of the base-timber. It will be observed from the drawing that each post is also provided at its upper end with a kcrf, c, the purpose of which will be hereinafter fully described.
Secured to the base -timber by a wire or other suitable means is a weight, 0, which anchors the post and assists in keeping the same in its upright position.
D D represent suitable braces of wire, pro vided at each end with a loop, d d, the purpose of which is to engage the upper ends of the posts B and the ends of the base-timber A.
In the construction of a fence in which my improved post is used, I secure the posts to the base-timber, as shown, the space between the two posts being for the ends of the rails, the upper one of which must be placed below the kerf in the top of the post. IVhen the (No model.)
rails have been inserted, I take a piece of wire and make a loop in each end, the one in the lower end being large enough to slip over the end of the base-timber. The upper end of the wire is passed into the kerf at the top of the post and the loop at this end slipped over the top of the opposite post. I attach a brace to the opposite side of the base-timber and connect it to the other post in a manner similar to that just described. When these braces k are placed in position, I draw their lower ends outward toward the ends of the base-timber until the braces are sufficiently tight to securely hold the fence.
In using the weight or anchor, I first fasten, a wire to the same and to the loose timber and bury it in the earth, leaving the ends of the wire exposed, so that when it is desired to remove the fence the operator has only to unfasten the ends of the wire, when the fence may be removed without difficulty.
I am aware it is not broadly new in the constru ction of fences to employ wire braces whose free ends are formed with loops and secured by horizontal pins, keys, or wedges, and such construction I therefore do not broadly claim as my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a fence-post, the combination, with the basetimber and a Weight or anchor attached thereto, of the posts having notches at their lower ends, and kerfs formed in their extreme I upper ends, and the independent braces having loops which fit over and engage the upper portion of one of the posts, the said braces extending in opposite directions through the kerfs and secured to the base-timber, substantially as herein described.
SAMUEL L. .KNEPPER.
