MILTON E. OAMPANY, OF HAMILTON, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO HORACE B. PEOK, OF ALLEGAN, MICHIGAN.
POLE OR POST PROTECTOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 405,658, dated June 18, 1889.
Application filed February 11, 1889. $erial No. 299,412. (No model.)
To all whom it Duty concern: by which it is to be driven into position along- Be it known that I, MILTON E. OAMPANY, a side the pole or post. citizen of the United States, residing at Ham- The application of this support and proilton, in the county of Allegan and State of tector is made by applying two of them, one
Michigan, have invented certain new and useupon each side of the pole or post, and drivful Improvements in Pole or Post Protectors; ing them down into the earth for about one and I do declare the following to be a full, half their length. For an ordinary telegraphclear, and exact description of the invention, pole they may be five or six feet in length, thus such as will enable others skilled in the art to when driven down projecting some three feet 10 which it appertains to make and use the same, above the surface. This upwardlyprojectreference being had to the acccompanying ing partis then securely clamped to the pole drawings, and to the letters and figures of refby wire or other metallic clamps passing erence marked thereon, which form a part of around the same and firmly secured. If dethis specification. sired, the spaces between the support and If, This invention relates especially to a post pole maybe filled with coal-tar, melted pitch, support and protector designed more particuor other similar material, to prevent water larly for the protection and support of telefrom entering the space between the protector graph and telephone poles, or posts used for and pole, thus preventing decay of the same. other purposes, the object being to stiffen the The metal of which the protector is formed 20 same near their lower ends where they emerge may be galvanized or otherwise protected from the ground, and protect them from defrom oxidation by exposure to the weather. cay at that point. It being well known that In the accompanying drawings, which illusthis is the portion of the pole most exposed trate this invention, Figure 1 shows a teleto the effects of heat and moisture, it begins graph-line with the poles supported by these 25 to decay first, and the pole is frequently renprotectors. Fig. 2 shows a singlepost, upon dered useless by its becoming so much dean enlarged scale,withthe protector and clamp cayed at the surface of the ground as to break in position. Fig. 3 shows a pole with one proat that point when it is exposed to wind or tector driven down to place and the other in other strains, thus destroying the pole, which position. for driving. Fig. 4 is a perspective 30 in other respects is still valuable. view showing the construction of the pro- The usefulness of this support and protector. tector is not alone in its application to new In the several figures, A represents a telepoles, but it may be readily applied to those graph pole or poles to be supported, and B which have already become dangerous from are the protectors. As will be seen, each of 35 decayat this point, strengthening and increasthese protectors is formed from a sheet of ing the durability of the same to a great 6X- metal of sufficient length with one end tatent. pered to a point a, like a pen, the sheet being In preparing and applying this protector then bent to nearly a semicircle, and having or support elongated sheets of metal of such at the end opposite the taper a flange b turned 0 width as when bent into a curve will encircle outwardly. At suitable points to receive the nearly or quite one-half of the pole, and of clamps a depression is formed in the metal sufficient thickness to give the requisite of the protector, producing a slight projecstrength, are bent lengthwise to a curve aption 0, which prevents the clamps d from fallproaching a semicircle, thus forming one-half ing down after they are placed in position.
45 of a tube split longitudinally. One end of These clamps cl may be formed in various these pieces may be tapered to enable it to ways, a simple and cheap construction being penetrate the earth with. less difficulty, and to use a piece of wire which is bent around the other end turned outward, forming a the protectors and its ends twisted together flange which not only stiff ens the protector, until they cause the parts of the protector to 50 but affords means for readily applying aforce firmly hug the post; or they may be made of I00 band iron or other suitable material, placed in position, and secured by screws or rivets.
It will be seen that the pointed ends a of the protector are bent slightly inward, which inclination causes them, as they are being driven downward, to retain their position in close contact wit-h the post or pole, thus i11- surin g a firm clasp of the same by said protector.
The method of applying this protector to the post or pole is as follows: If they are of different sizes, it becomes necessary to have protectors slightly diitering in curvature, two of these which approach nearly the curvature of the outside of the pole being selected. One of them is placed alongside of the same, and by means of a sledge or other driving implement applied to the flange upon the upper end of the protector, it is driven down to the desired depth. The other one is placed upon the opposite side of the pole and driven into position in the same manner. The clamps are then applied and the operation is completed, the whole forming a cheap and substantial method of protecting and supporting poles or posts which may be too weak to sustain the strains applied to them or that may become weakened by decay.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent the following:
1. As a pole or post protector, the semitubular metallic sheets pointed at one end, and provided with a flange at the other, adapted to be driven into the earth beside a pole or post and act as a protector and support for the same, as shown and described.
2. The pole or post protector consisting of the semi-tubular sheets having their lower ends pointed and turned inward, their upper ends provided with an outwardly-projecting flange, and the projection 0 along their edges to prevent the slipping downward of clamps by which they are secured in place, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination, with the pole or post A, of the semi-tubular metallic protectors B, having flanges Z) and projections c, and clamps d, surrounding said protectors and retaining them in position, as specified.
I11 testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
MILTON E. CAMPANY.
