SPECIFICATION forming part-of Itetters Patent No. 727,248, dated May 5, 1903.
Application filed Math '27; 1002.
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, RANDOLPH A. Wmrnes, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Atwood, county of Rawlins, and Stateof Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Wire Staples, of which the following is a specification. V 7
My invention relates to fence-wire staples.
The ordinary fence-wire staple isunsatisfactory, because upon the wood of the post shrinking, which happens after a certain time, the staple drops out or becomes loosened and lets the wires down, necessitating repairing of the fence. f v e The object of the present invention isthe provision of a staple of improved and novel form which will automatically lock when driven and remain in the post until removed by a staple-puller or other suitable means, thereby insuring retention of the fence-wire at all times. v
To accomplish the foregoing object, Ipros vide a staple having one leg pointed,'so as to drive substantially straight, and the other leg provided with a suitable shear cut on its outside, which acts to cause the leg to bend when driven, thus locking the staple in the post.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional view through a fence-post, illustrating my staple driven thereinto and disclosing how the shear-cut leg bends on driving to lock the staple; and Figs. 2 and 3, details of the staple as it appears when furnished for use.
Referring first to Figs. 2 and 3, 1 and 2 designate the respective legs of the staple, which are connected to' the arch 3. The leg 1 has a comparatively long shear cut l'onits outer face, which can be either perfectly straight Serial t. 100,a00. on, model.)
or curved,-while the leg2 has an ordinary point 5.
The staplewhen manufactured and furnished for use appears as shown in Figs. 2
and 3.
drawn bythe use of a staple-puller.
My stapleis primarily intended for use as a-fence-wire staple, as it is peculiarly adapted for filling the requirements in that connection.
.Havingthus described my invention, what lclaim' as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is{
' The herein-described staple comprising two substantially straight legs separated from each other and connected by an arch, one of said legs having a point and constituting a driving-leg adapted to enter the material straight, when driven, and the other leg constituting a locking-leg and having a shear cut in its outer side extending from its tip toward the arch, said locking-leg being adapted to bend toward the driving-leg when the staple is driven and thereby lock the staple. In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
