- This invention relates to tension-governors for fences, the object of the invention being to provide a cheap, simple, and durable device to compensate for expansion and contraction of the wires of the fence and to keep them at all times drawn taut.
- my invention consists, essentially, in the special construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of the tension-governor, substantially as hereinafter described.
- the drawing illustrates in central vertical section, partially in elevation, a tension-govlar flange or shoulder 0 against which abuts a spiral spring D, seated loosely in said casing.

BENJAMIN O. IIAUGH, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.
TENSION-GOVERNOR FOR WIRE FENCES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,575, dated December 30, 1890.
Application filed October 12, 1889. Serial No. 326,856. (No model.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN O. HAUGH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 'lension-Governors for Wire Fences; and I do hereby 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.
This invention relates to tension-governors for fences, the object of the invention being to provide a cheap, simple, and durable device to compensate for expansion and contraction of the wires of the fence and to keep them at all times drawn taut.
With these objects in view my invention consists, essentially, in the special construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of the tension-governor, substantially as hereinafter described.
The drawing illustrates in central vertical section, partially in elevation, a tension-govlar flange or shoulder 0 against which abuts a spiral spring D, seated loosely in said casing. Extended through said spring is a rod (1, having a head at its inner end that bears against the end of the spring D, as clearly shown in the drawing. This rod d is fiattened at its outer end, as shown at d to which end the wire B is secured by riveting or otherwise, and the casing is held in the post, as shown by a threaded nut E, which is screwed into its inner end and bears against the post, an annular boss 6 being provided at the opposite side to assist in retaining it in place.
By my construction it will be seen that during contraction of the wires the spring will be compressed and will lengthen during expansion, thus keeping the wires always taut.
I claim- The combination, with the post A, of the tubular casing 0, having the internal flange c at one end and extended through and secured to the postby a nut or cap E, as shown, the spiral spring D, loosely contained in said casing, the headed rod d, extended through said spring and bearing against its end, and the fence-wire B, secured to the opposite end of said rod, all constructed and arranged substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof-I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
BENJAMIN O. HAUGH.

HARRY HAUGH, N. E. O. WHITNEY.
