JACOB IVALTER GIBSON, OF MUNCIE, INDIANA.
FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 766,687, dated, August 2, 1904.
Application filed March 29, 1904. Serial No. 200,607. (No model.)
To It whom it ntrty concern:
Be it known that I, JACOB \VALTEE GInsoN, acitizen of the United States, residingat Huncie, in the county of Delaware and State of Indiana, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to new and useful improvements in fence-posts; and its object is to provide a post of durable and inexpensive construction which is adapted to withstand the action of the elements.
A further object is to provide means for securing a fence fabric or fence-rails to the post.
\(Vith the above and other objects in view the invention consists of a tubular metallic core embedded within a covering of cement or other like material, and extending from the core and beyond the face of the covering are staples of novel construction for the reception of a retaining-rod. Means are also employed whereby, if desired, fence-rails can be securely fastened to the post.
The invention also consists in the further novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, showing the preferred form of my invention, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved post and showing the fabric secured thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical transverse section through the post. Fig. 3 is an enlarged section on line 3 3, Fig. 2, with the retaining-rod removed. Fig. eiis an enlarged section on line i 4, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detail view of one of the staples detached. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a hitching-post constructed in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a modified form of staple.
Referring to the figures by numerals of reference, 1 is a tubular metallic core which is inclosed by a preferably rectangular covering 2, of cement or similar material adapted to be shaped in a suitable mold. Transversely-extending recesses 3 are formed in one face of the cover at suitable points, and bolt-holes 4 extend through the post at opposite sides of the core and open into the grooves 3. Embedded within the cover are the ends of staples 5, which project beyond the grooved face of the cover 2 at suitable intervals. The embedded portions of the staples have oppositely-projecting extensions 6, which are located at opposite sides of the core 1. By forming the staples in this manner the same are prevented from being accidentally withdrawn from the post.
W hen it is desired to connect a wire-fence fabric to the post above described, the fabric 7 is placed upon the staples 5 and a retainingrod 8 is inserted through the staples, so as to hold the fabric between said rod and the post. An eye 9 serves to limit the downward movement of the rod, and after the rod has been placed in position the other end thereof can be bent, as shown at 10, so as to prevent the withdrawal of the rod. In order to secure fence-rails to the post, it is merely necessary to place them within the grooves 3 and to insert bolts therethrough and through the openings 4.
It will be understood that any form of post may be constructed in the manner above described, and in Fig. 6 I have shown a hitching-post. This post is similar to the fence-post, with the exception that no grooves 3 are provided and but one staple is arranged therein. Also in this form of post the staple employed is similar to that shown in Fig. 7, in which the extensions 11 are shown in alinement and are adapted to abut against the same side of the core of the post. It will be seen that this post is very simple and inexpensive in construction and forms a durable means for supporting fences.
In the foregoing description I have shown the preferred form of my invention; but I do not limit myself thereto, as I am aware that modifications may be made therein without departingfrom the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof, and I therefore reserve the right to make such changes as fairly fall within the scope of my invention.
IO non-alining extensions at the ends of the staples and contacting with opposite sides of the core, and a retaining-rod extending through the projecting portions of the staples.
In testimony whereof I aifiX my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
JACOB WALTER GIBSON. i Witnesses:
