Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOSEPH D. S. WV. P. TILTQN, OF YAKIMA, \VASHI NGTON TERRITORY.
-FENCE=POST BASE.
SPECIFICATION orming part of Letters Patent No. %,950, dated December 28,1886.
Application filed June 4, 1586. Serial No. 204,152. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOSEPH D. S. W. P. TIL- TON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yakima, in the county of Yakima, Washington Territory, have invented a new and useful Improvement in' Fence-Post Bases, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in fence-post bases; and it consists in the peculiar construction that will be more fully. set forth "hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a fence-post embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 isasimilar view on a plane taken at right angles to Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section taken on the linemw of Fig. 2.
A represents thelower portion or section of the fence-post, which is made of cast metal, and is provided with inclined front and rear sides, a, which converge toward the point at the lower end of the section. The edges of the lower section are also inclined, as at b, and are provided with oppositely-extending side flanges, c, which are cast with the main portion of thelower section. The said side flanges, 0, have their edges curved or scalloped, as shown, thereby forming barbs d. In the upper end of the lower section is made a vertical recess, 6, to receive and secure the lower end of the post F, which is made of wrought metal, and stepped in the opening 6. This post is provided with a series of openings, f,
through which are passed the usual barbed wires when it is desired to construct a wire fence. In order to construct a picket-fence the wooden rails commonly employed have their ends mortised to receive the posts F, the
said rails are secured on the said posts at the requisite points, and the pickets may be then nailed to the rails in the usual manner.
By providing the lower section with the inclined sides, a and b the said section is pointed and wedge-shaped, and is thereby adapted to .be very readily driven into the ground. The flanges 0, which project in opposite directions from opposite sides of the lower section, enibed the said section very firmly in the ground and prevent the post from being twisted or turned, and by providing the said flanges c with the barbs d the post is very firmly anch- V ored in the ground, and is prevented from being loosened and worked upwardly therefrom by the action of frosts.
A fence-post thus constructed is exceedingly strong and durable, and is not likely to be blown down or twisted inthe ground or loosened therefrom.
I am'aware that it has been heretofore proposed to make the base of a fence-post with oppositely-extending flanges, and this I disclaim.
I am alsoaware that it has been heretofore proposed to make the base of a fence-post with bosses 0r enlargements, and this alsoIdisclaim.
Having thus described my invention, I claim- The herein-described fence-post base, having the downwardly-inclined sides, thereby making the base wedge-shaped, and the vertical flanges 0, extending at right angles from opposite sides of the post and projecting in opposite directions, the said flanges being curved or scalloped at the outer edges, forming the barbs or shoulders (I, as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afflxed my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
JOSEPH D. s. w. P. ITILTON.
