Description
PATENT OEEroE.-
sHEEMAN H. EosE, on WHEELER, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMNT IN FENCS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58,300, dated September 25, 1866.
is a vertical transverse section of the same.'
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both iigures.
This invention consists in a novel construction of a fence, whereby the fence may be made at a very moderate cost, and be set u'p with much less trouble and loss of time than those ordinarily in use, andwhereby the liability of its being thrown out of its proper position by the heaving of the ground from the effects of frost is materially reduced, and,
. furthermore, whereby the panels of the fence may be very readily removed from the posts thereof when, for any reason, it is desired to take down the. same.
To enable others to understand the nature and construction of my invention, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the drawings.
A indicates vertical posts, which .may be of any suitable wood or other material, and which are driven into the ground at distances apa-rt equal to or slightly greater than the length of the panels B near the upper end of each of the posts A, and driven through a suitable hole formed therein is a transverse pin, a, the ends of which project out from each side of the post, as shown more clearly in Fig. 1.
Passing through the lower portion of each post, and at a proper distance from the ground, is a similar transverse pin, b, the position of which is parallel with that of the upper pin, a, just mentioned.
The panels B are composed of longitudinal slats or narrow strips of board or plank. (Represented at c.) These slats are placed edgewise, one above another, at a suitable distance apart, and are secured and connected together by vertical bars or braces d and e, which are attached to the said slats by means of nails,
Y screws, or other suitable means. The central bars, d, which serve to strengthen and brace the middle portion of each panel, may be secured either upon one or both sides thereof; but the bars e, situated at the ends of the panels, are placed upon both sides of the said ends in such manner that slots or recesses f are formed between 4them in the spaces between the slats c, as shown in Fig. 2.
The posts A being driven into the ground and provided with suitable transverse holes for the reception of the pins a and Z, as hereinbefore explained, the panels B are placed between the said posts, with one of the slots or recesses f in the ends thereof opposite each end of each of the aforesaid holes in the posts and in line with the said holes, which being done, the pins a are driven into the aforesaid transverse holes in the posts, with their ends projecting out therefrom, as hereinbefore eX- plained, and passing into and through the slots or recesses f, as represented in the drawings, and in such manner as to hold the panels in an upright position, and at the same time prevent any lateral displacement of the same,
while the posts A, being placed sufficiently close to the ends of the panels, prevent any material longitudinal movement of the saine.
By these means the fence may be very quickly and easily set up, while the panels, being of very simple construction and requiring the use of comparatively little material, may be made at a very moderate cost. Furthermore, inasmuch as the slots fare much longer than the thickness of the pins a, it follows that in case the posts should be raised up by the heaving of the ground from the eiectsof frost, the pins a will slide in the said slots f without raising the panels, thus obviating all deran gement of the fence from such heaving of the ground; and, furthermore, when it is desired to take down the fence the panels may b'e readily and rapidly removed from the posts by simply taking out the pins a from the said posts. l
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The pins a b, passing transversely through the posts A, in combination with the slots f, arranged in the ends of the removable panels B, substantially as herein set forth, for the purpose specified.
SHERMAN H. ROSE.
