FENCE POST.
No. 576,465. Patented Feb. 2, 1897.
UNITE TATES PATENT ()FFICE.
JAMES M. MOORE, OF \VALDRON, INDIANA.
FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 576,465, dated February 2, 1897.
Application filed June 23, 1896.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMES M. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waldron, in the county of Shelby and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to fences, and more particularly to the posts thereof, whereby the same may be easily set up, be cheap and durable, and where the parts constituting the same will be reduced to the minimum.
With these objects in view my invention consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, and in the various details thereof, as will be first pointed out in the specification andthen claimed.
In the drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a fence constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, and Fig. 3 is a view of a wire for clamping the strands of the fence to the rod attached to the post.
A represents a stone forming a base for the post, and which also acts as an anchor for the same; B, the post supported thereon; O, the stay-Wires, which pass through holes a in the post and pass around each end of the stone, and D a cross-brace consisting of a wire connecting with the stay-wires O.
Near the top of the post are holes a, through which passes a clamping device 0 provided with a nut d for looking or unlocking the same and by means of which the top wire of the fence is firmly attached to the post.
The post 13 is also provided with a crimped rod G, which passes through a hole a near the top of the post and is clamped on the other side, and is further attached to the post by means of short wires H, and serves to attach to the post any desired number of wires K and allow them to contract and expand without interfering with the post.
M denotes short wires for clamping the fence-wires to the crimped rod, said Wires being first passed around the rod, then to the rear of the fencewires, and then returned and twisted tightly over the front of the rod.
My improved fence is constructed as follows: First, the stone forming the base there- Serial No. 596,635. (No model.)
for is sunk flush with the ground. Then the post, in the present instance a metallic tubular one, is placed upright thereon with the holes therein parallel with the base. A staywire is then passed around one end of the stone, twisted, passed through a hole in the post, down and around the other end of the stone, and then securely connected. The crimped rod is then placed against the post, its upper end entering the hole in the same, and then securely fastened by wires H. The cross-brace is then attached to one side of the stay-wire, twisted, passed around the post and crimped rod, and then securely attached to the other side of the stay-wire. W'ires M are then attached to the crimped rod, and, as hereinbefore explained, secure the fence-wires to said rod.
0 is a cap which maybe placed on the post, if desired.
WVhile I have explained my improved post as being of metallic tubing, it is apparent that it maybe of wood or other desirable ma terial. It is also apparent thatthe other portions of the fence may also be of material other than that described. I may also have the lower end of the crimped rod enter a perforation in the post, if desired.
After the improved fence is set up as de scribed the stay and cross-brace wires may be drawn taut by simply inserting a bar between the strands thereof and twisting them until the desired tension is attained.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a fence, the combination with the posts thereof, of supporting-bases for said posts, perforations in said posts, stay-wires embracing the ends of the bases and passing through the perforations in the posts, crimped rods having their upper ends passing through perforations in the posts and clamped at their lower ends to the posts by wire clamps, crossbraces embracing the post, crimped rods and opposite sides of said stay-wires, clampingwires passed around the crimped rod and adapted to secure the fence-wires to the same, and,means for tensioning the bracing-wires.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JAMES M. MOORE.
