" INITED STATES RICHARD TOENNES, OF B OONVILLE, MISSOURI.
FENCE- POST.
SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 537,323, dated April 9, 1895. Application tiled June 25,1894. Serial 110.515.649. (No model.)
To all whom it mag concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD TOENNES, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Boonville, in the county of Cooper and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,
after fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a wire fence, showing two of my improved posts employed in connection therewith, said posts being viewed from opposite sides. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line aca;, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the lower part of the post.
In the said drawings, the reference numeral 1 designates the post which may be made of malleable or cast iron or steel and comprises a vertical semi-circular or rounded portion 2, provided with a number of horizontal slots 3, to receive the wires, and formed at each side with a wing 4, made integral therewith, tapering from top to bottom and standing at an acute angle to the vertical plane of the portion or rib 2. The lower or enlarged ends of these wings are'turned or bent inwardly at a right angle, forming flanges 5, which serve as bearings for the post'and aid in holding it in place.
The numeral 6 designates a pointed stake which fits in the lower part of the rounded or semi-circular rib and when the post is inserted in the post hole is driven down into the ground thus bracing and strengthening the post.
The numeral '7 designates the wires and S, wedges, of wood or other material for holding the wires in place and also for taking up any slack, as hereinafter described.
In using the invention the posts constructed as described are placed in the post hole, in a vertical position, with the flanges 5 resting on the bottom of the hole. The stakes 6 are then driven down into the'ground as seen in Figs. 1 and 2, a sufficient distance to brace the post properly and the hole is filled in with earth and tamped. By these means the posts will be securely held in an upright or vertical position without liability of sagging. The wires are then strung by inserting them in the slots 3, and are drawn taut, when the wedges 8 are driven down between the same and the curved portion of the rib 2, forming bends 9, which will prevent horizontal movement of the wires. If the wires stretch, which is universally the case, after the fence has been constructed a short time, so as to become loose and sag, they can be readily made taut by driving the wedges down alittle farther, which will cause the slack to be taken up.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is.--
In a fence the combination with the posts comprising the vertical semicircular or rounded rib, formed with a series of horizontal slots, the tapering wings and inwardly extending flanges at the lower end thereof, all formed of a single piece of metal, and the inner ends of said flanges meeting or abutting against each other, of the pointed stake located in the lower part of said rib and driven into the ground below said flanges, the wires inserted in said slots and the wedges driven between said wires .and the rib; substantially as described. 7
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
RICHARD TOENNES. Witnesses:
THOS. B. WRIGHT, AUGUST DENGOLESKY.
