TENSION DEVICE FOR wiRE FENCEs.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,845, dated November 16, 1886.
. Application filed August 13, i886. Serial No. 210,808. (No model.)
.To aZZ whom, it may concern:
Beit known that I, JACOB WILcOX, a citi'- zen ofthe United States, and a resident of Plain City, in-the county of Madison and State ofOhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tension Devices for Wire Fences; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of vthe invention, which will enable others skilled device detached.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre-v sponding parts in both the figures.
My invention has relation' to devices for regulating the tension upon the wires in building wire fences; and it consists in the improved construction and combination of parts of a device, by means of which the tension upon all the wires may be regulated simultaneously and in the same degree, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed. t
In the accompanying drawings, the letter A indicates a post having a sharp-pointed dat bar, B, secured at its lower end, for the purpose of driving itinto the ground, securing lthe post, and this post is provided with stirrups or loops C C, projecting rearward, in
which a post, D, slides, bearing Awith one side againstthe sideof the rigid upright. AThe upper end of the rigid-upright is provided with a rearwardly-projecting bracket, E, having a` perforation, F, in its outer end, and a screwthreaded rod, G, secured to the upper end of the sliding post passes through the perforation in the bracket, and has a nut, H, upon it,
l bearing against the upper side of the bracket.
A bar, I, is pivoted upon the side of the rigid upright near` the upper end, and the outer end of this bar is formed into a hook, J, which engages an eye, K, upon a brace-rod, L, having a stake, M, inserted through its lowerend, the said stake being driven into the ground.
The sides of the posts are provided each with Oia series of transverse pairs of studs orscrews,
sliding post up or down, and the tension upon the wires may be thusincreased and decreased simultaneously uponall the wires, according to the tension desired for the machine or tool used in making the fence.
When the fence is made up to the tension device, the wires are secured to a post by means of staples, and the rigid post is moved to another point in the, line of the fence, the wires being again placed in position upon the studs and the sliding rod being drawn up to give the desired tension.
This tension device may be used with all kinds of machines and tools foi` building Wire fences, and may be used in machines where the wires are twisted around each other, forming loops for the stakes or pickets, or in building fences simply with wire strands and posts. Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters lPatent of the United States- 1. In a tension device for wire fences, the
combination of a rigid post, having a series of pairs of studs upon its side, with a post sliding upon the rigid post and having a registering seriesof pairs of studs upon its side, and having means for moving it longitudinally upon the post and for adjusting it there, as and for the purpose shown and set forth.
2. In a tension device for wire fences, the combination of a rigid post having a flat pointed bar at its lower end, and having rear- Wardly-projecting loops or stirrups and arearwardly-projecting `perforated bracket at its upper end, a hook-shaped bar pivoted to the upper end of the post, a brace-rod secured to the hook-shaped bar and to a stake in the ground, a post sliding in the loops or stirrups upon the rigid post, and having a screw- ICQ threaded rod ab its Yupper end projecting" own I have hereunto affixed my signature in through bhe perforation oftheb1aoket,and pr0- presence of two Witnesses.. vided with a nut, and selies of pairs of trainsv Verse registering-studs upon the sides of the I JACOB WILCOX 5 rigid post; and of the sliding post, as and for Vitnesses:
the purpose shown and set forth. C. F. DUTTON,
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my J AMES OHARE.
