SYLVESTER'P. 'RABOOCK, OF ADRIAN, MICHIGAN.
"FENCE-POST FORIWIRE FENCING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 466,315, dated January 5, 1892.
Application filed May 9, 1391- Serial No. 392,243. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SYLvEsT R P. BABOOOK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Adrian, in the county of Lenawee and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Fence-Post for Wire Fencing, of which the" companying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a detailed front view in perspective of the post. Fig. 2is a detailed side view in perspective of the post, rods, and anchor-plates. v
Similar letters refer to similar parts in both views.
Thetop partA of the post'is made of strong angle-iron. The anchor part B is made of cast-iron in angle shape, tapering from the pointt at the'surface of the ground to the bottom g. The part A is joined solidly to B while castingby placing its lower perforated end a short distance within the enlarged mold of B, as shown at t. The perforations permit the molten iron to pass through, operating somewhat like rivets. At the junction of the two parts A and B a bridge 0 is cast integral with B, which extends outward live or six inches at a right angle to the length of the post, and on the inner face of the angle, very nearthe lower end of B, a hook 1) is also cast solid therewith, the open part pointing downward. Around the hook D is placed the looped end of a strong iron rod, some'halfinch or more in diameter. These truss-rods E E are carried up from the hook'D, and pass over and rest in notches at the outer end of the bridge G,thence up and bent back to the bar A, about two-thirds of its length from the bridge 0. The extreme ends, of the trussrods pass through holes '5 '5 in the bar A, and after being drawn tight are riveted or otherwise rigidly fastened. The truss-rods E E plank four feet long and fourteen inches wide secures ample resistance-surface, and should f be embedded in the ground about six feet from the bottom of the post, at about the same depth the post is set; for end posts not less than three feet, and for corner-posts still deeper. The plate P should set on an angle in the ground, but facing square with the strain of the rods K K. The anchor-rods K K are of one piece and looped around the post at the bridge 0. The two ends, carried down at the proper angle to reach the plate P, pass through and are secured thereto by a washer'and nut on .the opposite side. The an chor-plate H is made of cast-iron aboutone foot in level surface area, thecurved end having a flange three or four inches deep on its under surface, and the square end having a flange of'about the same height rising" from its upper side. A perforation near the center of plate H permits the post-point g to pass through, and the hook D rests on the upper surface- The large level area of plate H serves to hold the post from settling farther in the ground than intended, while the flanges m and it provide a bearing to resist the side-pry of the bottom of the post. The strain on the post is resisted in one direction by the plate P; in the other direction and downward by the plate H and its flanges m and a. All along the length of A holes are made at suitable distances apart, through which the wire fencing is attached, as shown at c. On an end post only one line of fencing is attached; but for a corner-post, two lines are attached, and generally run at a right angle from each other. As a cornerpost, the post and all its parts must be corre spondingly heavier and stronger, with two anchor-plates like P placed apart on a quarterarc of a circle, with one rod K fastened to one and the other rod Kto the other plate. Then each one anchors at a right angle to the other. It is also better for a corner-post that the outer end of the bridge 0 be made wider, with the notches spread apart, so that the truss-- rods E E spread much more where they pass over the bridge, and then each truss-rod supports directly its individual stretch of fencing.
I am aware thatprlor to my invention posts In a fence-post, the top A, the anchor have been made having anchor-plates and part 13, the hook D, the bridge 0, and the rods used in conjunction therewith. I theretruss-rods E E, in combination with the anfore do not claim such a combination broadly; chor-plat'es P and I1 and the anchor-rods K K, I 5
5 but all substantially as and for the purpose set \Vhat I do claim as my invention, and deforth.
sireto secure by Letters Patent, is
7' 7 1 i Y 1. In a fence-post, the metal top A and ESVIER BABCOCI anchor part 13,111 combination with the truss- Witnesses: IO rods E E, bridge 0, and hook D, substantially A. L. BLISS,
as described. B. F. GRAVES.
