FENCE-POST BASE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 634,672, dated October 10, 1899.
Application filed March 31, 1899.
Serial'No. 711,308'. (No model.)
' zen of the United States, residing at Coles Station, county of Oakland, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Fence-Post Bases; and I 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 pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,
which form a part of this specification.
' This invention relates to bases for fenceposts, and has for its object an improved fence-post base easily and cheaply manufactured, indestructible by the elements, and' easily used. The base itself is of either clay or cement, and upon the base is supported a wooden'post which is Wholly above ground. and therefore protected from that destructive action of moisture which is injurious to posts that are partially above the ground and partially embedded therein. Furthermore, the
base itself remains in position uninj ured, and should the wooden post part be injured it can easily be removed and another wooden post placed on the base.
In the drawings, Figure l shows the base and wooden post in sectional elevation. Fig. 2 is a detail of the top. Fig. 3 is a detail of the plate which caps the base. Fig. 4 is a detailof the brace by means of which the wooden post is secured to the base.
The base is made hollow-,of substantially the same diameter at top and bottom. Its bottomend a is closed. At its top end, at a short distance below the extremetop, there is a ledge or flange h, on which to rest api-ate c. treme top and on the outside is a flange d, eX- tending entirely around the base. Intermediate the top and the bottom, preferably about midway between the two ends of the base d, is a collaror flange e. A dished cap-plate B closes in the top end of the base, and preferably under the dislied capp-plate and between it and the plate c is cemented, making an impervious wall atthe top end ofv material' that is not liable to be destroyed by water or mois- At the exture. Through the plate c and through the cement above it and through the cap-plate B extends a pin or bolt C, and the bolt C projects above the' cap-plate for several inches. The cap-plate B is secured to the base by means of bolts that pass through holes h and h', and the same bolts are utilized to hold the bottom ends of the brace-irons 7n. f
The flange e is useful to prevent the frost from heaving the base, and if greater strength is desired in the connection between the braceirons le and the base the bolt which holds the capplate to the base may be extended down through the flange c, which has holes through it for that purpose.
The top iilling of cement prevents the entrance of moisture to the interior of the base and obviates the liability to fracture from the l. In afence-post base, a hollow casing having a closed bottom, and with an internal flange near the top, an external perforated flange at the extreme top, and a flange intermediate the extreme top and the bottom; in combination with a plate resting on the said internal flange; a cement filling resting on said plate; a dished metallic plate crowning upward and provided with holes arranged to register with the holes in the flange at the top of the base; and braces arranged to be secured by bolts to the base and to a Wooden post resting on the top of the base; substantially as described. i
2. In afence-postbase, a hollow casing having a closed betteln, and with an internal flange near the top, an external perforated flange at the extreme top, and a ange intermediate the extreme top and the bottom; in combination with a plate resting on the said internal Iiange; a Cement illing resting on said plate; a dishedinetallie plate crowning upward and provided with holes arranged to register with the holes in the ilange at the top of the base; a central pin embedded in the cement and projecting upward through the (lished plate and the braces; and braces arranged to be secured by bolts to the base and to' a wooden post resting on the top of the base 5 substantially as described. l 1o In testimony whereof I sign this specifica tion in the presence of two witnesses.
