CAMDEN L. WILGOX, OF WEST WILLIAMSFIELD, OHIO.
FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 486,309, dated November 15, 1892.
Application filed April 11, 1892. Serial No. 428, 701. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CAMDEN L. WILOOX, a citizen of the United States, residing at West Williamsfield, in the county of Ashtabula and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Fence-Post, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in fence-posts.
The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive, strong, and durable fence-post which will be capable of withstanding the immense strains consequent to stretching fence-wires.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a fence -post constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 isan elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view.
Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawlngs.
1 designates a post having its lower end secured to an anchor-piece 2 and provided at its upper end with an ornamental top or cap and being supported by an inclined brace-bar 4, extending from the baseor anchor piece 2 to a point near the top of the post, and an inclined rod 5, arranged at one side of the post to protect the same from lateral strain and having its lower end secured to an arm 6 of the foundation or anchor piece and having its upper end flattened and secured by a bolt 7 to the post.
The inclined brace-bar 4, which is arranged in 'a line with the fence and is adapted to support the post and to enable the same to withstand strains exerted by stretching Wires, is connected intermediate its ends with the post by a truss-brace 8. The truss-brace 8 is bolted or otherwise secured to the post and the bracebar 4, and consists of zigzagly-arran'ged bars or portions 9 and the bolts passing through the angles and the ends of the truss-brace. The post is further supported in a line with the fencebya short inclined brace 10, extendwithstand the heavy strains caused by the stretching of fence-wires. One face 11 of the post is corrugated or roughened and is adapt ed to have wires clamped against it by a clipbar 12, which has its inner face corrugated or roughened and is secured to the post by bolts.
From the foregoing description and the ac- .companying drawings the construction, operation, and advantages of the invention will be readily understood.
What I claim is 1. The combination of a horizontal base, a
vertical fence-post rising from the base near the middle thereof, an inclined brace-bar extending from the base at one end thereof to the post near the top of the latter and secured to the base and to the post, and a truss-brace extending back and forth from the post to the brace-bar and consisting of integral zigzaglydisposed bars or portions, substantially as described.
2. The combination of a base, a vertical post rising from the base, an inclined bracebar 4, having its lower end secured to the base and its upper end attached to the top of the post, a truss-brace connecting the post and the brace-bar 4 at intermediate points and consisting of angularly-disposed portions, and a short inclined brace 10, crossing the posts and secured thereto and having its lower end secured to the base and its upper end attached to the brace 4 at the lower terminus of the truss-brace, substantially as described.
3. The combination of a base, a vertical post rising from the base, an inclined bracebar 4, having its lower end secured to the base and its upper end attached to the top of the post, a truss-brace connecting the post and the brace bar 4 at intermediate points and consisting of singularly-disposed portions, a short inclined brace 10, crossing the posts and secured thereto and having its lower-end se cured to the baseand its upper end attached In testimony that I claim the foregoing as to the brace 4 at the lower terminus of the my own I'hZLVB hereto aflixed my signature in truss-brace, and the rod 5, arranged at the the presence of two witnesses.
