FENCE-POS'i-g SPECIFICATIGN forming part of Letters Patent No. 684,734, dated October 15, 190i.
Application filed August 25, 1900. Serial No. 28,042. (No model.)
To cir/ZZ whom t 77mg/ concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK ANVEGNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Fence-Posts; 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 fence-posts, and has for its object an improved fence-post made from cement or artificial stone.
In the drawings, Figure l shows a post made in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is an elevation of a fastening-strip to be used with the post of Fig. l and as an alternate form of fastening to the one shown in Fig. l. Fig. 3 is an enlarged representation of one of the fastening-points shown in Fig. 2. Fig. e is a section through the Wall of the post, showing the fastening of Fig. 2 and the means of securing` it to the post. Fig. 5 shows a post with a detachable fastening. Fig. 6 shows the manner of anchoring a bar in the post. Fig. rZshows the manner of anchoring a chain in the post. Fig. 8 is a cross-section showing the manner of anchoring the bar. Fig. 9 is a cross-section showing the manner of anchoring the chain. Fig. 10 is a vertical section through the wall'of a post, showing a strengthening or embedded netting of a somewhatfdifferent structure than that shown in Figs. 1 and 4. Figll shows a pichet or wood en standard secured to the post.
In the drawings similar characters refer to similar part-s.
The post which forms the subject of this invention is made in the form of a concave cone and is hollow, and the walls are strengthened by having embedded therein nettin ot' strengthening fabric or Wire. The wire-netting A (shown in Fig. l) is a woven-wire netting placed in position, and the cement is molded both inside and outside of it, as indicated in Fig. et.
The means of fastening the stringere of a fence to this post maybe varied-mas, for example, in Fig. l the means shown consisting of pins a o., that are secured to the wire fabric from which the pins or prongs c chave been I punched, leaving an enlargement in the slot at the base 0f the point, as indicated at d in Fig. 3. At the points where the prongs c c join the strip of metal b the metal is removed, leaving approximately circular apertures, as clearly shown in Fig. 3. The wire stringers are forced up under the prongs c c into said circular apertures, as indicated in Fig. 2. The prongs are then bent back until their surfaces are parallel to the metal strip b. Thus the wire is supported from moving up or down so long as the prongs are unbent, and the stringerwire is slightly crimped or bent to restrain longitudinal movement relative to the post. The strip itself is secured to the cement of the post by punching and bending to that side which lies inward prongs e, which are inserted through the wire fabric or Wire foundation and loosely secured thereto by bending the prongs, as shown in Fig. 4.
Should it be desirable to prepare the post for a board fence and arrange it to have boards nailed thereto, I stop off the cement at the holes 2, 3, and e by a clay plug, as indicated at 5 in Fig. e, and the clay plug can be afterward removed. A bolt with an unequallysided rectangular head is inserted through the hole and turned to bring the head across the slot.
Fig. 5 indicates a post made in 'the same way with embedded wire, but in which the means for attachment of the stringere of a fence is removable and consists of a strip of metal that is provided with holding-prongs, and to the top and bottom of the strip 6 are riveted rings'or collars 7 and 8, one of which, 8, is arranged toengage closely around the post at that part of it which will be nearer the surface ofthe soil, and the other of which, 7, is arranged to engage closely around the post near the top of it. This is a removable fastening held by a removable band or hoops to the post. The bands or rings may be one or more, as may be desired, and the bands strengthen the post against lateral strain.
In punching out the holding-prongs o those which are intended to be used at the top end IOO of the post or the top half of the post are punched with their prongs projecting upward and those which are intended to be used at the ,bottom half of the post are punched With their points projecting downward. This prevents the Wires which are engaged under themfrom being lifted from the ground or pressed down by persons climbing over them. v Should it be desired to secure rails or chains to this postas is frequently the case, a rail of iron rod 9 may besecured to the Apost by inserting the end of it through a hole in the Wall of the post and securing the end by means of a nut 9a, run on a thread thereon, the end beinginside the post. A chain lO may Y be secured byinserting the links through the wall of the post and securing the link by a pin 10, that is Wholly Within the post.
In Fig. l0 is shown a form of wire-netting A that is made in place by means of string- 'ers Il, run lengthwise of the fence-post, and
Wire rings 12, run around the post, secured to the stringers by tying or in any other approved Way.
l. In a fence-post, in combination with a foundation of wire fabric bent to form a hollow post, a cement wall, covering both the inner and outer faces of the fabric, a fasteningstrip extending longitudinally of the post, and provided with projections which extend into the post through the outer Wall thereof, and engage the fabric, substantially as described.
2. In combination with a concrete post, having embedded therein a fabric foundation, a bar arranged to support the fence-stringers, said bar being provided with inturned prongs arranged to engage with and be secured Zto the fabric foundation, substantially as described.
3. In combination with a concrete post, having embedded therein a fabric foundation, a bar arranged to support the fence-stringers, said bar being provided with inturned prongs arranged to engage with and be secured to the fabric foundation, and with outwardlya turned prongs arranged to engage the stringers, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I sign this specilica tion in the presence of two witnesses.
