I. P. ROSBAOK. MEANS FOR SECURING CHAINS T0 PENGE POSTS. No. 540,192. Patented May 28, 1895.
NITED STATES PATENT rrrcnl FREDERICK P. ROSBACK, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 540,192, dated May 28, 1895.
Application filed April 11, 1s 94 To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FREDERICK P. Ros- BACK, residing at Chicago, in the county of look and State of Illinois, having invented certain new and useful Improvements in Means for Securing Chains to Fence-Posts; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and concise description of the same.
The object of my invention is to securely fasten a chain to fence posts in such a manner as to entirely preclude the possibility of any lateral movement in the chain. My invention is particularly applicable to lawn fences or others where only one stretch of chain is required. i
It has heretofore been found difficult in the construction of chain fences, to secure the chain against lateral movement and also to provide a strongand neat means for fastening the same. These difficulties I overcome in the manner and the means hereinafter more fully shown and described.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a fragment of a post and chain embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2 2, Fig. 1.-
Similar letters refer to like parts in the drawings.
I have provided the top of the tubular post, A, with two diametrically opposed slots, A. These slots are adapted to receive alternate links of the chain B, the interposed link lying between and within the walls of the post A, locking the chain against lateral movement.
In order to secure the chain B in the slot A of the post A, I have provided a cap C, said cap fitting over the top of the postA and having notches or slots C, corresponding to Serial No. 507,103- (No model.)
and for the same purpose as the slots A in the post A. The cap 0 is secured to the post A, by means of the pin D, Fig. 2.
The method and means of securing a chain to a fence post, as shown, are readily understood.
It will be seen if alternate links of the chain be inserted in the slots provided in the tops of the posts, that the interposed link, lying horizontally within and between the walls of the post, will lock the chain against any lateral movement, for it will be seen 'by refer-' ence to Fig. 2 of the drawings, that the width of the link is considerably greater than the width of the slots in the top of the post. In order to secure the chain against removal from the post, I have provideda cap, as shown in Fig. 1,said cap having slots corresponding to the slots in the post. The cap is secured to the post by one or more pins. I do not wish it to be understood that I confine myself to any particular style of' cap, as various designs might be used.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a fence-post, the combination, with a metal post having diametrically opposed vertical slots in the top thereof, or of a cap adapted to fit over the top of said post, said cap having notches adapted to coincide with.
the slots in said post, and a pin adapted to secure the cap to the post, all substantially as shown.
