WILLIAM W'. MORBISON, OF NEW CASTLE, PENNSYLVANIA.
FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,778, dated April 5, 1887.
Application filed September 27, 1886. Serial No. 214.640. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. MoRRIsoN, of New Castle, in the county of Lawrence and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts; and I do hereby declare the following to be a V -full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to fence;posts, the object being to provide a combined post and brace formed of a single piece of metal and adapted for use with a base or anchor to firmly support and brace a fence.
Theinvention consists in the features of construction and combinations of parts,vhereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, Figure I illustrates in perspective one of my improved posts with a part of a'fence. Fig. 11 is a side elevation of the improvement detached.
The combined post and brace consists of a vertical portion, A, constituting the fence-post proper, an inclined portion, B, serving as a brace, and an inclined anchor portion, 0.
As clearly shown in the drawings, the entire device is formed from a single piece of metal, and preferably from a round rod of iron bent to the proper shape. The brace portion B is bent upon the upper end of the post A, to form a head, I), and a shoulder, E. The head D is adapted to enter an opening, f, on the under side of the top rail, F, of the fence to support the latter, and said post is passed through an opening, 9, in the lower rail, G, which latter is supported by the pickets -H.
I represents a base or anchor-block, prefer ably of stone, suitably bored to receive the lower end, a, of the post and the anchor portion 0 of the brace B. The block or base I is set into the ground so that its upper surface will be about flush with the ground.
It will be apparent that by the construction thus described no spaces are left forthe accumulation of water, and my device is not liable to damage by water or frost, as is the case with wooden posts. Again, it will be noted that the whole weight of the fence is borne by the post and the strain is substantially in a vertical plane; but by the use of the inclined anchor and brace I firmly brace the structure in all directions.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-' The combination, with the parallel rails of a fence, of an anchor-block to receive a post, and a post consisting of the vertical portion A, passing through the lower rail and bent upon itself to form a head, D, which supports the upper rail, and then inclined to form the brace portion B, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WILLIAM W. MORRISON.
