SAMUEL P. WILLIAMS, OF SHERIDAN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN FENcEs..
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 54,989, dated May 22, 1866 To alt whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, SAMUEL P. WILLIAMS, of Sheridan, Chautauqua county, State of New York, have invented a new, useful, and Improved F ence; and l do hereby declare the following description and accompanying drawings are sufficient to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which it most nearly appertains to make and use my said inventionV or improvements without further invention or experiment.
The nature of my invention and improvements consists in a staqaleshapedwiron post with scarfed and scored rails arranged between them; also, in an iron rod'or wire extended between the tops of the posts above the rails.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my improved fence. Fig. 2 is a plan or top View, and Fig. 3 is a crosssection.
In these drawings, A A are staple-shaped iron posts, set in a base, B, of iron, stone, articial stone, brick, orwood, placed in the bank C, which is made of the earth taken from the two ditches l) D.
The wooden rails E E are scarfed, as shown in Fig. 2, at their ends where they are inserted between the sides of the posts A, and on the opposite sides of the rails from the scarfs scores are cut across half the diameter of the iron of whichthe post is made, so that the ends ofthe rails are put between the sides of the posts, one above the other, and pressed out to bring the scores onto the posts, and then slipped up or down until the ends of the rails are opposite each other, when some wire, G, may be tied or twisted around both legs of the post, as shown in Fig. 3, to hold up the rails and preventthe sides of the post from spreading.
After the rails are put in and secured., the
wire or rod F may be put over the r'ails by taking one or more turns around the iron top of the post, as shown in the drawings. A block of Wood or brick, I, may be put under the lower rails to hold them up, as shown in Fig. 1.
'Ihe above-described fence is light, cheap, and durable, and stronger than any other containing the same quantity of materials.
2. In combination with the posts and rails,
the iron rod or wire extended bet-Ween the tops of the posts, as described.
SAMUEL P. WILLIAMS.
