SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 390,995, dated October 9, 1888.
Application filed January 30, 1888. Serial No. 262,437. (No modcl.)
.To all whom it may concern.:
Be it known that I, JOHN L. SYMONDS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of Wayne,State of Michigan,have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Fences; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
My invention consists of the combinations of devices and appliances hereinafter specilied, and more particularly pointed ont in the claims. Y
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a fence embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is asectional view on line sa x. Fig. 3 is a sectional View on line ec. Fig. 4 isaseparate View of two adjacent picket-braces with the rosette removed; Fig. 5, a separate View of the rosette. Fig. 6 illustrates how the device is adapted for fences on sloping ground.
The purpose of my invention is to provide a convenient means for fastening the pickets to the rails in the construction of ornamental wrought-iron fences, which means I will proceed to describe.
A represents thc pickets and B theirails of a wrought-iron fence.
O represents a brace, preferably of malleable iron, which engages the picket above and below the rail at the points cc. The brace is provided at its sides with dowel-holes c2.
D is a rosette provided on its back with dowel-pins d, adapted to engage within the holes c?. The rosette has a central bolt-hole, and a bolt or rivet, E, passes through this hole and a corresponding hole in the rail, and a nut, e, binds the whole together.
The brace O is so shaped that when adjusted upon the picket it does not rest at the sides against the rail,butstands a little off therefrom. Then by tightening the nut c on the bolt the is exceedingly strong and substantial. It re- 6o quires no machine-work upon the pickets or braces, it being only necessary that the rails be punched for the bolts E.
c3 represents one or more bars, which span the brace C from sideto side, being fitted over the picket. They serve tostitfen the brace and to transmit the binding action of the bolts E, not only to the top and bottom of the brace, but also to its middle point, and materially assist to hold the picket in place.
What I claim is- 1. The combination, with the picket-braces C, having dowel-holes c2 at their sides, of rosette D, provided with corresponding dowelpins,d, and means for securing the rosette to the rails of the fence, substantially as described. l
2. The eombinatiomwith the fence-pickets, the rails, and braces O, engaging the front of the pickets at o c', said braces provided with dowel-holes c,of rosettes D,with dowels d, and binding bolts and nuts E c, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I sign this specification in 4the presence of two Witnesses.
JOHN L. SYMONDS.
