WILLIE ALICE HAMMER, OF FAIRLIE, TEXAS.
FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters latent No. 654,626, dated July 31, 1900. Application filed October 10, 1899. Serial No. 733,193. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I,W ILLIn ALICE HAMMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fairlie, in the county of Hunt and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Fence- Post, of which the followingis a specification. My invention relates to fence-posts, and particularly to that class in which the base is made of material not affected by dampness or subject to decay; and its object is to provide a simple, durable, and efficient means for connecting the base to the post proper In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a per- I 5 spective view of the post complete. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the'fastening-plate for connecting the base and post proper.
Sim ilarletters refer to'similar parts throughout the several views.
A designates the base, which may be made of any suitable material not subject to decay, as potters clay, glass, or cement.
B designates the post proper, of any suitable construction, and C the fastening-plate connecting the base A to the post proper, B.
The base A is preferably of inverted conical shape, having a socket in its upper end adapted to receive the fastening-plate 0. 0 This fastening-plate O is a half-tubular castmetal piece, its lower end being bifurcated to form prongs b, a spur or prong 0 project ing laterally from the flat side of its upper .end, and a hole (I for the reception of the bolt 6.
In operation the fastening-plate C is placed in the socket a of the base A and the socket then filled with cement, which nponhardening holds the fastening-plate firmlyin place,
the prongs b assisting in giving a firm hold to the cement. The post proper, B, is then placed against the flat side of the fasteningplate 0 and the bolt e passed through the perforations in the post and the fastening-plate.
The nut then being screwed tightly uponthe bolt, the spur a sinks into the post and firmly engages the same, as shown in Fig. 2, thus preventing any lateral movement. It will thus be seen not only that the wooden post proper is above ground, and therefore not 5o liable to decay, as in posts of ordinary construction, but that the metal parts below ground are incased in a base made of material which prevents moisture reaching and rusting the same, While at the same time the entire construction is simple and inexpensive. The post will outlast the ordinary ones'in use, the base being practicallyindestructible and the post proper being supported above the ground and out of the range of decaying influences.
Changes in the form, proportion, size, and the minor details of construction within the scope of the appended claims may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this in vention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. A fence-post comprising a base portion having a socketin its upper end, apostproper adapted to rest on top of the base portion at one side of the socket, a semitubular fastem ing-plate having a fiat side at its ,upper end and connecting the base portion and the post proper, the lower end of the fastening-plate being secured in the socket of the base portion, and having the post fastened against the flat side of the exposed upper portion, substantially as described.
2. A fence-post comprising a base portion having a socket in itsupper end, a semitubular fastening-plate having its lower end bifurcated and fitting in the socket of the base portion, said fastening-plate being also provided with a spur proj ecting laterally from the flat side of its upper end, and a postproper fastened against the flat side of the fastening-plate and engaged by the project- 9o ing spur, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
WILLIE ALICE HAMMER.
