JAMES MARTIN MANGOLD, OF THOMPSON, VEST VIRGINIA.
MACHINE Foa CONSTRUCTING FENcEs.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 393,651, dated November 27, 1888.
(No modul.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES MARTIN MAN- GOLD, a citizen of the United Stat-es, residing at Thompson, in the county of Marshall and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Constructing Wire and Picket Fences, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to machines for con structing wire-and-picket fences; and its obj ect is to provide a device of this character pos sessing advantages in point of simplicity, d urability, inexpensiveness, and general ellieiency.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a machine for constructing wire-andpicket fences embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view on `the line x w, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a similar View on the line yy, Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View of the device for twisting the wire.4 Fig. 5 is a similar view at right angles thereto. Fig. 6 is a detail perspective Viewv of the tension-post. Fig. 7 is a sectional view thereof. t
Corresponding parts in the figures are denoted by the same letters of reference.
Referring to the drawings, 'A designates a post, of wood or other material, provided with a series of circular eyes or holes, a, forming bearings for disks B, said eyes or holes being located in such a manner that two, three, or four strands of wire may be used at equal distances apart. These disks comprise a central bearing portion, b, and circular plates b' b' bolted or otherwise secured to the portion I), and bearing against the post. Holes b2 b2 are provided through the disks at each side the center, through which the wires pass, the holes being of sul'licient diameter to permit of the passage of spliced wires. To the rear side of the disks B are secured crank-arms C, having handles c at their outer ends, by which the` If desired, double-crank arms may be employed, as shown at S, Fig. 2.
Upon the front side of the post are bolted or otherwise secured angular gage-blocks D, for gaging the distance between the palings. When a wide space is desired, the blocks are secured, as shown, by the top one in Fig. l, and by securing them upon the flat sides a shorter space is secured, .as at the bottom in the same ligure. At the top of the post is provided a vertical series of perforations, (l, through one of which is secured an adjustable gage-block, D', for gaging the height of the paliugs. A handle, E, is preferably provided upon the post, and also a strip of metal upon the bottom edge and secured tothe side edges, to protect said end.
F designates a tension-post, which is secured in the ground some distance in advance of the post A, and supported by guy-ropesjj'. At-the upper end of this post is removably secured the bifurcated end g of au arm, G, preferably by a pin, g', secured thereto by a cord or chain, and passed through the post and arm. This arm projects at the rear of the post F, at right angles thereto, and is provided at its free end with an eye or perforation, g2, and a pin, g3, said end resting against the adjoining fence-post, and is retained in engagement therewith by a rope or chain passing through the eye or perforation Igzand around the post.
At each side the tension-post, and corresponding to the holes c in the post A., are provided studs or pins H, disposed in the manner shown, which engage the wires of the fence. The wires also pass through guide-rings I removably secured to staplesi upon the 'rear ofthe tension'post, said rings being preferably of the construction known as split rings,77 formed of spring-wire. The tension of the wires is regulated by similar split rings, J, removably engaging one of two or more staples, j', provided upon the front ofthe tensionpost on different vertical planes, just below each series of studs or pins H, the tension being increased or lessened by connecting the rings J, respectively, with one of the lower or higher staples. To prevent the lower end of the post A from coming in contact with the ground, I may employ a strip, K, provided with a series of eyes or perforations, k, corresponding to the disks on said post, and with slots 7c between the eyes or perforations 7c and one edge of the strips, through which the wires are inserted. This strip is located in advance ofthe post A, the lower end resting upon the ground, while the upper end is secured to one of the fence-posts by a rope or chain passing through a perforation in said strip and around the post.
The operation and advantages of my inven- IOC tion will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which it appertains. rIhe Wires are passed from a reel through perforations in a post and thence through the rings J on the tensionpost into engagement with the studs or pins H and through the rings I. They are then passed through the disks on the post A and secured to the first post ofthe fence.
The Wires are twisted after each paling is inserted by rotating the disks in first one direction and the other through the medium of the crank-arms.
I claim as my invention-- l. In a machine for constructing wire-andpicket fences1 the combination, with a post provided with four equidistant holes and a hole centrally located between the medial holes, of twisterdisks disposed in said holes and removable therefrom, substantially as and l'or the purpose set forth.
2. In a machine for constructing wire-andpicket fences, the combination, with a tensionpost, of an arm having one end bifurcated and removably secured to the upper end thereof by a pin passing through coincident perforar tions in said foot and arm, the free ends ofthe latter being adapted to be removably secured to one ol' the fence-posts, substantially as set forth.
3. In a machine for constructing wireandpicket fences, the combination, with a tensionpost, of removable guide-rings at the rear edge thereof and adjustable rings at the front edge adapted to regulate the tension of the fencewires, substantially as set forth.
4. In a machine for constructing Wire-andpiclzet fences, the combination, with a tensionpost provided with studs or pins arranged substantially as shown, of guide-rings at the rear edge of said post and adjustable rings at the front edge adapted to regulate the tension of the fence-wires, substantially as set forth.
5. The herein-described machine for constructing wire-and-pieket fences, comprising the loom-post provided with four equidistaut holes and a hole ceutrallylocated between the medial holes, removable twister-disks disposed in said holes, crank-arms secured to said disks, and adjustable gage-blocks, and a tension-post provided with pins for engaging the strands of wire, said pins being arranged to coincide with the holes in the loom-post, removable guide-rings at its rear edgcaud adj ustable rings at its front edge, and an arm removably secured at the upper end of said tension-post, all arranged und adapted to operate substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence ol two Witnesses.
JAMES MARTIN MANGOLD.
