WITNESSES INVENZ'OZ? UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDIVIN DIVER, OF DEERFIELD, OHIO.
FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 559,574, dated May 5, 1896. Application filed December 23, 1895. Serial No. 572,988. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWIN DIVER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Deerfield, county of Portage, State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fence-Posts, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification.
My invention relates to certain improvements in fence-posts; and it consists of certain features of construction and combination of parts.
The prime object of the invention is the formation at the lower end portion of the post of a laterally projected foot that may be driven into the ground to support the post and the wires or rails attached thereto, as will be hereinafter shown, described, and claimed.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings is a view in perspective showing the invention in operative position in a section of wire fence. Fig. 2 is a side elevation.
The post may be made of any desirable form of iron; but for the purpose of this application I will show the post as constructed of channel-iron and T-iron.
A denotes a post having at the bottom portion a foot B, turned out of line with the body of the post to a position oblique thereto, substantially as shown. At the juncture of the foot portion B is provided a heel portion 0 to receive the blows by which the foot is driven into the ground.
In operation the toe of the foot is placed on a line central to the fence structure, holding the post in perpendicular position. The foot is then driven into the ground transversely to the line of fence by a succession of blows with a sledge or other maul, the toe of the foot of each post to point alternately in opposite directions, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, thus forming a broad base for the fence to support against lateral or side pressure.
In the drawings I have shown posts formed of channel and T iron; but I do not limit myself to the form, size, or grade of iron to be used, as my invention relates entirely to the laterally-projected foot at the bottom of the post.
Having thus fully described the nature and the object of my invention, what I claim is- A fence-post having an integral foot portion projecting obliquely therefrom and provided with a driving-heel. I
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 12th day of December, A. D. 1895.
EDIVIN DIVER.
