UNITED STATES PATENT 7 OFF C CHARLES T. SOHOEN, OF ALLEGHENY, PENNSYLVANIA.
PRESSED-S TEEL FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 530,725, dated December 11, 1894. Application filed April 24, 1894. Serial No. 508,759. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES T. SOHOEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Allegheny, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Pressed- Steel Fence-Posts, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The main object of this invention is to provide an inexpensive and thoroughly strong and durable metal post for Wire fences.
In carrying out my invention, I take a flat blank of sheet or plate metal, preferably steel, and by means of presses or dies form of the same a tapering, edge-flanged post, with a pointed and curved earth-entering end, which curved end terminates above in a shoulder or oifset to receive the blows of a post-driving implement, such as a sledge-hammer, and I provide the said post, integrally by preference, with wire-receiving devices and also de vices for assisting in anchoring it in the earth.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating my invention in the several figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 is a front elevation and Fig. 2 a side elevation of a post broken out to come within the drawings sight. Fig. 3 is a section taken in the plane of line 33, Figs. 1 and 2, and Fig. 4 is a section taken in the plane of line 4-4, Figs. 1 and 2, these sections being on a relatively large scale. I
The blank, of sheet or platemetal, preferably mild or soft steel, is taken flat, of the proper size and shape for the desired post, and of increasing width from. top to bottom, and its edges-flanged or bent back at right angles from the body, a being the body and b, b, the flanges, the flanges increasing in depth from top to bottom. The earth-entering end is beveled in its body and its flanges so as to form one or more points 0 to facilitate entering the earth in driving the post, and so as to avoid the necessity of digging post-holes. The upper portion of the post is angular in cross-section, while the lower or earth-entering portion is curved, as shown more particularly in Figs. 3 and 4 respectively. The ofi'set or shoulder d, which is provided to receive the blows of an instrument for driving the post into the ground, is formed at the top of the curved portion by deflecting the body and flanges from the plane of the upper portion of the post, and by making the lower or earth-entering portion of the post curved, it is possible to make the offset without cutting or weakening the post.
The earth-entering end is provided with outwardly and upwardly projecting spurs e to aid in anchoring the post in the ground, and especially to resist its being pulled out.
Spurs or projections f are also provided in the upper portion of the post to receive the fence wires.
The various spurs e,f, are made by slitting the metal of the post and punching up the adjacent metal, but it is also within my invention to form the spurs separately'and attach them to the post.
Since I prefer for economical and other reasons to form my post of plate or sheet steel by pressing the blank into shape in dies or presses, I' have entitled my invention a pressed steel fence post; but I do not wish to be understood as limiting my invention to that mode of production or to that material. Neither do I limit my invention to a fence post, since, obviously, it may be applied to 1 posts for various purposes.
I am aware that posts heretofore have been made of sheet metal, with pointed driving ends, integral wire receiving devices, anchoring spurs and driving ofisets, but these things singly and collectively are not broadly claimed herein.
What I claim isl. A post of wrought metal, having a body, edge flanges extending from end to end, and a driving shoulder or ofiset formed of and by deflecting the body and flanges, substantially as described.
1 2. A post of wrought metal, having abody, and edge flanges thereon extending from top to bottom, the upper portion of the post being angular in cross-section, and the earth-entering portion being curved in cross-section and provided with a driving shoulder formed by deflecting or offsetting the body and flanges, substantially as described.
3. As an improved article of manufacture, a pressed steel fence post, composed of a body, and edge flanges extending from end to end, the upper portion of the post being angular in cross-section and the lower portion curved in cross-section, the said curved portion terminating at its upper end in an offset or 10 shoulder for use in driving the post into the earth, anchoring spurs in the lower portion, and wire-receivingspurs in the upper portion, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 23d day of April, A. D. 189;.
CHARLES T. SOHOEN.
