STAY FOR WIRE FENCES.

OF DAYTON, OI-IIO..
STAY FOR WIRE 'FENCES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 578,076, dated March 2, 1897.
Application filed March 20, 1896.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GILBERT H. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stays for WVire Fences; and I do 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in stays for wire fences, and has for its object to provide a tongued stay that will securely lock the line-wires against any independent up-and-down movement, as well as horizontal movement, and thereby prevent the wires from springing back the tongues and loosening the stays.
To this end the improvements have refer ence to the specific construction of the pocket for the line-wire and to the formation of the tongue, as will be hereinafter more fully described in the specification, and pointed out in the claim.
Referring tothe annexed drawings, Figure 1 designates a vertical elevation of my improved stay, showing one side thereof and the line-Wires in section in the two lower openings. Fig. 2 is a view of a portion of a stay after the openings have been stamped and before forming. Fig. 3 is a cross-section.
The letter A designates a sheet-metal stay formed, primarily, as shown in Fig. 2, and, subsequently, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, by forming or bending it in the longitudinal center. d designates a series ofslots cut or stamped in the edges of said stay, .into which the line-wires fare placed. These slots are stamped or out inwardly, as at a, so as to permit of their taking an outward curve to form a shoulder a, from which point said slot again takes an inward curve to form a circular pocket I) in the bottom thereof, into which a line-wire f snugly fits. The outer portion of said slot curves inwardly and outwardly from a point just above a horizontal line with the shoulder a and provides a tongue 0, the lower portion of which or the part adjacent to the line-wire has essentially a smaller di- Serial No. 584,063. (No model.)
ameter, as at 0, so that the said tongues readily bend at a point about the center of the wires in every instance when pressed over the said line-wires. When pressure is exerted against a line-wire, due to bending a tongue, the shoulder a", just above the pocket, prevents said wire from climbing up the rear side of said slot or from being forced away from the tongue. The inward curve a of said slots besides being essential to form the shoulder a also provides a seat for the inner end of the tongue to lie in when the latter is forced over the line-wire, thus permitting said tongue to maintain a contact with said line-wire from a point where it bends to said shoulder. This is an important feature, as by such construction I am enabled to completely lock the linewires against any vertical movement or upand-down vibration independent of the stay, for example, such as is due to an animal forcing the line-wires apart. Such independent movement has a great tendency to force the tongues away from the line-wires when said wires are allowed any play in the pockets. The construction of said slots it will therefore be seen'is an important feature of the invention, as thereby the line-wires are firmly held in position without the possibility of their receding under pressure exerted in the initial bending of the tongues.
Having fully described my invention, I claim- A stay for wire fences, consisting of a plate of sheet metal bent in its longitudinal center in V shape, and having in its edges a series GILBERT H. BROWVN.
