FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 787,749, dated April 18, 1905.
Application filed September 26.1904. Serial No. 225,902.
To fz/ZZ whom, it Hetty concern:
Be it known that I, ALFRED I?. GooDnLL, a citizen of the United States. residing at Highland, county of Oakland, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful lmproveinent in Fence-Posts; and l declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe 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 post and brace therefor which is adapted to be used especially for the strong corner-post of fences, but which without the brace may be used as a line-post. Y
In the drawings, Figure ll shows the post and brace in elevation. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the post.
1 indicates a post made from cement of prismoidal form or cylindrical form, preferably square in cross-section and of substantially equal cross area from top to bottom. That part of the post which is intended to loe placed below the surface of the ground is formed with corrugations extending across the face of the post, and the post is set in a receivingopening 2, formed somewhat larger than the post. The earth adjoining said opening is undercut at 3, the normal condition of the earth above said undercut portion remaining undisturbed. A freshly-made cement compound is inserted into said undercut space and the space intermediate the wall of the opening and the surface of the post, which when hardened serves as an anchor for said post. The post is braced by a brace 4 of prismoidal form, preferably made originally with ends 5 and 6 at right angles to the faces, the brace being placed bracing against the post and against an abutment 7, made by excavating to hard soil and filling the excavation with a plastic compound of cement and sand orcement, sand, and rubble. The space between the top of the abutment 7 and the end of the brace is filled with a contact abutment or filler 8 of freshlymade cement compound, and the space between the top of the brace 4 and the post is filled with a ller 9, that engages and fills completely the opening between the end of the brace and the post. The face of the post against which the filler 9 engages is provided with cross-corrugations 12. Those faces of the post to which the wires are to be attached are provided with narrow lillets of wood 10, set into the concrete body of the post at the time the post is making. These lillets of wood need be only thick enough to take the shank of the staple which holds the wire and wide enough (or extend deeply enough into the post) to allow the staple to be driven into lthe wood.
I prefer to make this iillet of wood so deep in the post that the staple will not clench against the stone behind it.
I strengthen the post with ribbons or strips of braided or woven wire 11, which radiate from the center toward the corners, or in place of the strips of woven or braided wire I can use thin strips of band-iron; but I prefer the open-mesh woven wire as affording suiiicient strength and making a stronger support and taking less continuous space in the post.
What I claim is- 1. A fence-post having at its base portion a projecting part entering an undercut-portion adjoining the opening into which the post is inserted, whereby any disturbance of the normal condition of the earth above said undercut portion incident to planting the post is obviated.
2. A fence-post having a plastic base provided with a projecting part entering an undercut portion adjoining the opening into which the post is inserted, whereby any disturbance of the normal condition of the earth above said undercut portion incident to planting the post is obviated.
3. A fence-post having a plastic base provided with a projecting part entering an undercut portion adjoining the opening linto which the post is inserted, said plastic base also filling the space intermediate the wall of said opening and the *surface of the post, whereby any disturbance of the 4normal condition of the earth above said undercut portion incident to planting the. post is obviated.
4. The'method of planting fence-posts which consists in forming a receiving-opening for the post, undercutting a portion of the earth In testimony whereof I sign this specificzv adjoining said opening Withoxit dsturbin; the tion in the presence of two Witnesses. normal condition of the earti above Sai nnl 1 D l 1 dercut portion, inserting the post into said ALFRED l' (100D ELL' opening, and filling said undercut space and Witnesses:
the spaces intermediate the wall of the open- CHARLES F. BURTON,
ing and surface of the post With a plastic mass. MAY E. Ko'r'r.
