To a/ZZ whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, BERIAH BfPERKIYNs, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Oarson, 1n the county of Pottawattamie and State of Iowa, have invented new and 'useful Im rovements in Fence-Posts, of which the fol owing is a'speciiication.
The invention relates to an improvement 1n fence-posts, and particularly to a post constructed primarily of plastic material in which is embedded a suitable frame of peculiar construction. v
The main object of the present invention is the production of a frame about which the plastic material of the post may be folded, which lframe is to be constructed in a simple inexpensive manner, and to provide for the thorou h bracing of the post to prevent ac.- cidenta breaking or splitting thereof.
Another object of .the invention is the provision of wire-receiving eyes formed integral with the frame and arranged to project beyond the surface of the finished post.
The invention will be described in the following specification, reference being had particularly to the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is'a view in elevation of a 'post constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a -view in elevation of the frame of the post. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the post shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 4, a detail perspective illustratingV the construction of the wire-receiving member.
.Referring to the drawings, it will be noted that the im vroved frame 1 comprises four longitudinal y-arranged rods 2, each made vup of intertwisted strands of, wire or cable. At the'lower ends the rods are bent at a right angle to provide 4base `portions 3, and-from the base ortions the rods are projected parallel to t e main length of the rods, as at 4. All the sections 4 of the respective rods are intertwisted to provide a depending stem 5. At the upper ends therods are also bent at a ri ht angle at 6,with their terminals project# e upwardly and intertwisted to provide an up `er stem 7.
t is to be understood that, as shown, the stems 5 and 7 project centrall of a lane ineluded Within the rods 2 and t at vsaid'rods in the completed frame are spaced equidistantly apart, as clearly shown in Fig. 3. The
portions 3 and 6 of the frame are of relatively different lengths, the latter being slightly tive eye, providing for the shorter than the former, so that the frame as a whole inclines slightly inward from the base toward the upper. end, thereby providmg a frame of gradually-decreasing transverse extent 'corresponding in shape to that of the desired post. In the completed ost one of the rods 2 is arranged centrally/o thel front edge or face portion of the post, and integral with this rod are formed wlre-receiving eyes 8. These eyes are formed in the intertwisting of the rod-strands, being constructed by passing one of the two strands forming the rod downwardly at 9 and bendingthe same to form a loop 10, while the other strand of the rod is bent upwardly and downwardly to form a loop 12, extending in parallel relation to but spaced vertically from the loop 10. The finished terminals'of the respective loops are returned in alinement with the rod and again intertwisted to continue the formation "of the rod to the point desired for the next eye, when the above-described operation is repeated. It is obvious, of course, that as many eyes as may be desired can be formed by repeating the operation at determinate points throughout the length of the particular rod. The post proper, 13, is molded about the frame, being of a size to wholly include the frame structure and preferably of angular formation, as shown. The forward face 14 of the post envelope the loops 10 and 12 of the eyes, with the exception of the forward ends of said loops, which ends project beyond the said face of the post for a purpose hereinafter described. Transverse the length of the post l form in the forward face thereof depressions 15, which register with the space between the loops 10 and 12 of each respec-l reception of the strand-wires of the fence. A key-rod 16 of the desired length is to be passed vertically through the projecting ends of the loops, and thereby retain the strand-wires in the grooves 15 in an obvio'us manner. A The fenceost described is of the maximum strengt owing to the arrangement of the frame 1 and to the fact that the wireholding eyes form an integral part of the frame. Furthermore, the structure is simple and inexpensive, and the use of the frame guards against the splitting or breaking of the post, which is a disadvantage common to plastic posts under atmospheric changes.
While shown and described as of angular contour in section, it is obvious that the IOO fence-post 'may be round or of' other outline, if desired, Without in any Way changing the scope of the present invention.
Having thus described the invention, What is lclaimed as new is- 1. A fence-post frame comprising a series of rods connected at their ends, each of said rods being formed of intertwisted strands of material, and eyes formed integral with one of said rods, each of said eyes comprising loops projecting laterally from the rod in spaced parallel relation.
.2. A fence-post fcomprising a metallic frame Wholly embedded in the material of the post, eyes formed integral with said .frame and pro`ecting for a portion of their lengths beyon the surface of the post,' the post being formed with grooves registering with the eyes, and a key-rod to be passed longitudinally through the alined eyes and overlie the grooves in the post.
' 3. A fence-post frame comprising a series of rods bent laterally at theire'nds with their terminals intertwisted to provide projecting stems, each of the rods being formed of intertwistedstrands of material, one strand of one of the rods being bent at determinate vpoints throughout its length to provide projecting eyes.
Aallel loops projecting laterally from the rod and arranged to receivea Yfence-,Wire between v them. .a
In testimony whereof I atlix my' signature in presence of two Witnesses.
