SPECIFIGATIGN forming part of Letters APatent No. 655,675, dated August 7, 1900.
Appuoaionfuea nach s, 1900.
To @ZZ whom it may concern.-
Battle Creek, in the county of` Calhoun and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,
which form part of this specification.
This invention is an improvement in feliceposts, and has particular referenceA to the construction of the corner-posts of fences,
though it may be used wherever it is desired to have posts well braced; and it consists" in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter claimed, and particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show an efiicient form of the post embodying my invention.
Referring to such drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the complete post. Fig. 2 is a vertical section through theV base and one anchor-piece of the post. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the base and anchor pieces.
A designates the body of the post, which stands above the ground and is preferably made of wood, though it may be of other material. The lower end of this body rests in the bifurcations of a yoke B and is secured thereto by means of bolts h, as shown inFig. 3, and the tang b of this yoke B is embedded in the vertical base portion C, which is preferably formed of artificial stone, such as concrete, and the three portions of the post may be constructed substantially as shown and described in my applicatioi1,Se1'ial No. 731,826, led September 27, 1899.
D and E represent anchor-sections, which are preferably formed of concrete and are secured to the lower end of base C, at right angles to each other, by means of tie-rods F and G, which extend entirely through the anchorsections, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3, and through the base. The anchor-sections are preferably molded around the rods, so as to firmly adhere thereto, and the ends of the rods are then passed through suitably-prepared openings in the base B and are secured by means of washers and nuts ff and g g', respectively, as illustrated in the drawings, so as to bind the anchor-sections D E firmly sena No. 7.897.n (rameau.)
o o to the base. The other ends of the rods eX- Be it known that l, LEE K. FoRsYTnE, of-
tend through the base and are bent into hooks f2 and g2, as shown, to which are attached vthe lower ends of brace-rods H and I, which extend upwardly at an angle and are secured to eyebolts h and t, attached to the lower portion of base A,- but preferably above the bifurcations l) of the yoke B. By this construction a very substantial thoroughly-braced post is provided, especially adapted for use atV corners -and angles of fences, Where the post is to be subjected to unusual drafts or pulls. In some instances it might be desirable toincrease the number of the base-pieces `where a very heavy base is to be employed. Preferably inconstructing the base the artiiicial-stonepiecesC DF. are molded separately,`the base@ being molded with a central recess forthe tang of the yoke B, which thereto by pouring in fiuid concrete. The anchor-sections need not be attached to the post until they are brought to the point where the post is to be located, which greatly lessens the labor of handling and facilitates the transportation of the post. A
Having thus described my invention, what I therefore claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent thereon, isfl. The combination of the artificial-stone base, the yoke attached thereto, the post having its lower end supported in and secured to the bifurcations of the yoke, thediverging projecting artiiicial stone anchor pieces formed separately from but bolted to the lower end of the base and the brace-rods connecting the outer ends of said anchor-pieces to the post above the base. W
2. The combination in a corner-post, of the base, the yoke attached thereto, the post supported in and bolted to the bifurcations of said yoke above the base, the anchor formed separately from the base, the rod extending through said anchor and transxingthe base and secured thereto by a nut and projecting through the free end of the anchor, the bracerod attached to the outer end of said rod and connecting the same to the Vpost above the base, substantially as described.
3. The combination of the base, the post having its lower end fastened thereto, the
diverging projecting anchor-pieces, the rods is afterwardv placed therein and secured IOO connecting the same to the lower end of the base, and the brace-rods attached to the outer 15 projecting ends of said rods and to the post at a point above the base, all constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as 2o my own I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
