' JOHN K. HARRIS, OF CLUNG, VIRGINIA.
FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 749,056, dated January 5, 1904.
Application filed May 16, 1903- Serial No. 157,414.. (No model.)
To aZZ whom; it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN K. HARRIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Olung, in the county of Carroll, State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts; and I do hereby 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 appertains to make and use the same.
The invention relates to fence-posts, and more particularly to the class of metallic fence-posts; and it has for its object to provide a post to which the strand-Wires may be easily and quickly attached at any desired elevations, a further object of the invention being to provide a construction wherein the wires will be held securely to the post.
In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a post with wires thereon. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the post, showing a wire and the means for holding it to the post. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the wire-fastening devices detached from the post.
Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a post comprising the parallel flange portions 5 and 6 and the connecting-web 7at right angles thereto, the general shape of the post being substantially that of any ordinary railway-rail, the member 6, however, which corresponds to the ball on the rail being transversely concaved instead of convex, and itis to this member 6 that the wires are attached.
For fastening the wires to the member 6 metal clip-plates are provided, each consisting of a central portion 9,v having at each end the longitudinal fingers 10, there being two fingers at each end of the plate spaced laterally at distance sufficient to receive the fencewire 11 therebetween. The length of each clip-plate, exclusive of the fingers, is slightly less than the breadth of the member 6, and longitudinally of each clip-plate is formed a groove or channel 12 by striking up the metal of the plate, the channel being in a plane between the fingers at each end of the plate and leading to the interspaces between the fingers.
The dimensions of the channel of each of the clip-plates is such that it may receive a strand-wire therein, and in attaching the wires to the member 6 a clip-plate is disposed on each wire with its fingers straddling the wires and is then adjusted so that the fingers at opposite ends of the plates pass beyond the side edges of the member 6, while the body portion of the clip-plate lies against the concave side of the member 6. By means of a suitable instrument the clip-plate is bent longitudinally into the concavity of the member 6, while the end portions of the fingers of the plate are bent against the inner or rear face of the member 6. As the body portion of the clip-plate is bent into the concavity of the member 6, the strand-wire is likewise bent, so that an arch is made in the strand-wire and longitudinal slipping of the strand-wire with respect to the post is prevented. The bending of the body portion of the plate into the concavity tends to draw the fingers into closer engagement with the edge portion of the member 6, so that the clipplate, and therewith the wire, is held against movement vertically of the post.
The lower end of the post is split longitudinally to form the legs 20 and 21, which are bent outwardly and then downwardly, so as to form a broadened portion which engages in the earth.
What is claimed is- The combination with a fence-post including a vertical member having-a concaved face, of a wire disposed against the concaved face, and a clip-plate including a body portion having a longitudinal channel in which the wire is received, said clip-plate being disposed over the wire and having spaced fingers at each end disposed astraddle of the wire and engaged around the side edges of the concaved member, the clip-plate above and below the wire being bent into the concavity of the post.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
J GEN K HARRIS.
