SPECIFICATION fqmling part ef Letters Patent No. 761,291, dated May 31, 1904.-
` iippiieeaen med Merch 5,1904. serial No. 196,731. cie model.)
To a/ZZ whom it `may con/cern,.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAMFERGUSON, a citizen of the United States,cres`iding at Chicago, in the county of Cook yand State of Illirnois, have invented a new, useful, and Improved Fence-Post, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being' had to the accompanying drawings,
forming a part of this specification, in which corresponding letters of reference in the different figures indicate like parts.
The primary object of my invention is to provide an improved fence-post formed from a plastic material and suitably reinforced by means of metal reinforcements arranged longitudinally thereof and having anchor elements embedded therein in such a way as not to project from thefsurfaceof the post, while being readily accessible for the fastening of fencefwires thereto by means of a fastening adapted to be disconnected therefrom or re' placed when necessary, all of which is hereinafter more particularly described, and definitely pointed out in the claim.
Referring to the drawings, a., Figs. 1 to 4, in-
elusive, representsmy improved post, which is formed from concrete or other suitable plastic material, the body thereof being reinforced by means of one or more, but preferably four,
steel or iron rods, cables, or heavy wires Z), embedded therein 'throughout or substanf tially throughout its length, as indicated in Figs. 3 and 4. Said .post is also provided upon one or more of its faces with a series of depressions or recesses` c for the reception of anchor-bars d, which are arrangedv transversely of said post in such a way as to ex-" tend across said recess, a portion of sald bar being exposed, while thevends thereof are embedded in the concrete, as clearly shown in Figs.l 3 and 4.- 'Ihe bar 0l thus forms an arikchor or fastening, to which a wire e, forming 'a part of the fence, may readily be attached by means of a link f, formed by inserting within the depression an ordinary U-shaped staple and bending the inner ends around the anchor-barv in the manner shown in Fig.14,
which may readily be accomplished by means of suitable pliers. ASaid anchor-bar consists,
preferably, of a straight pieceof galvanized iron or steel,valthough it is obvious that it may be of any desired length and bent in any' ment, whileit enables the fence to be readily "and firmly secured thereto in a cheap and simple manner. Moreover, it is obvious that the fastening may be -replaced at any time. I prefer to make said post `square in crosssection, with chamfered corners, although it is obvious that said shape may be varied indefinitely without varying from the principle of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, I claim-- As an improved article of manufacture, a fence-post formed from plastic material having a series of recesses therein disposed at predetermined distances apart, and acorrespending series ofanchor-bars permanently embedded within said post in position to substantially parallel the fencewires to be secured thereto, said bars being arranged to cross the chambers formed by said recesses whereby a portion of said anchor-bars mayv be exposed to secure a fastening thereto, whilelying in a plane beneath the surface or outer face of the post.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnessesfthis 29th dayjof February, 1904.
WILLIAM FERGUSON.
