WIRE FENGE STAY No. 566,601. Patented Aug.25, 1896.

JONAS S. MOYER, OF HATFIELD, PENNSYLVANIA.
WIRE-FENCE STAY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 566,601, dated August 25, 1896.
Application filed May 23, 1896. fierial No. 592,766. (No model.)
To all whom it 19mg concern.-
Be it known that I, JONAS S. llIOYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hatfield, in the county of Montgomery and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful ire-Fence Stay, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to fences, and particularly to stays adapted for use in connection with wire fences for securing the runners at intermediate points and preventing independent vibration thereof.
The object in view is to provide a stay of simple and strong construction which may be manufactured at a small cost and may be applied with facility to the runners after-the latter have been stretched.
Further objects and advantages of this invention will appear in the following descrip tion, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a view of a fence provided with stays constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section of one of the stays, showing the runners extending therethrough. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the tubular member of the stay. Fig. 4: is a similar view of the key.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 designates the runners connected at intervals by stays 2, constructed in accordance with my invention, and each stay consists of a tubular member 3, provided at intervals corresponding with the intervals between the runners with transverse or horizontal slots 4, and a key 5, inserted in the tubular member between the plane of the runners and the slotted side of the tubular member.
The tubular member of the stay is applied to the runners laterally by bringing its transverse slotsin alinement, respectively, with the runners and causing the runners to be seated in the diametrically opposite extremities of the slots, and after the runners have been seated the key is inserted through the upper end of the stay and forced downwardly to bind the runners in their seats. The stay may be detached for the purpose of replacing or repairing a runner by withdrawing the key.
The tubular member of the stay is preferably cross-sectionally circular with the transverse seats extending approximately to diametrically opposite points thereof, and the key is cross-sectionally semicircular or halfround with a convex side adapted to bear against the inner surface of the tubular member and an opposite flat side to bear against the inclosed portions of the runners. The advantage of the half-round key resides in the fact that it allows the runners to lie against the fiat side thereof and thus pass straight, or approximately diametrically, through the tubular member, whereby when the keys are introduced they do not take up slack in the runners and do not require that the runners shall be put up loosely in order to allow room within the tubular members for the keys to be inserted. The runners may be first stretched to provide the desired tension, after which the tubular members of the stays may be fitted laterally thereon and the keys inserted to bind the runners in place without loss of time and without subjecting the runners to an excessive strain.
Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having described my invention, what I claim is- A stay for wire fences having a cylindrical member provided with spaced transverse slots adapted to receive the runners, and a halfround key inserted longitudinally between the runners and the slotted side of the cylindrical member, the convex surface of the key bearing against the surface of the cylindrical member and the fiat side thereof against the inclosed portions of the runners, whereby the runners pass straight through the stay substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
