UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 4, 1906.
A plication filed December 1,1905. Serial No. 289,939.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT G. JOHNSTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mahomet, in the county of Champaign and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metal Posts, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to fence-posts,- and its object is to provide a metal post of simple and durable construction which can be firmly anchored in the ground and which is provided with novel means whereby fence-wires may be quickly and securely fastened to it.
I/Vith the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings is shown the preferred form of the invention.
In said drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of the fence-post constructed in accordance with the present invention and showing wires, in position thereon. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section therethrough. Fig. 3 is a section on the line indicated in Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing in detail the means for connecting a wire to the post.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference, Ais an angle-iron having incisions A cut into the apex thereof at regular intervals, so as to receive the wires D of a fence. Suitable retaining devices, such as nails B, are adapted to be inserted between these wires and the inner face of the post, so as to prevent the wires from being lifted out of the incisions. The space between the wires and the apex of the post is preferably less than that of the diameter of the nails inserted, so that it is necessary to drive the nails into position, and thereby crimp or bend the wire, as shown particularly in Fi 3, and prevent it from pulling longitudinal y from the post.
In order that the post may be securely anchored in position, longitudinal slots O are formed therein adjacent its lower end and at opposite sides of the apex, and these slots are adapted to receive the wings O of a Y-shaped anchor O, the main portion of which extends forward from the apex, as shown particularly in Fig. 3, while the wings extend through the slots C and are then bent over the inner face of the post and laterally at right angles to the portion C. After the anchor has been placed in position in the manner described it can only be detached by first returning the wings to their initial positions, so as to enable them to be withdrawn from the slots.
A fence-post constructed in the manner described constitutes an efiicient device for use in connection with wire fences, in that the post can be readily placed in position and the anchor thereof will prevent it from rotating or being pulled out of proper position. The wires D can be easily slipped into the incision A and will be securely held in place against longitudinal or vertical movement simply by driving nails B between the wires and the inner face of the post in the manner shown and described.
The preferred form of the invention has been set forth in the foregoing description; but I do not limit myself thereto, as I am aware that modifications may be made therein without departing from the-spirit or sacrificin the advantages thereof.
W at is claimed is- 1. A fence-post comprising an angle-iron having parallel slots therein adjacent one end and at opposite sides of the apex of the iron, a Y shaped anchor insertible through the slots and projecting from the apex of the iron, the inserted portions of the anchor being bent in opposite directions over the edges of the iron.
2. A fence-post comprising an angle-iron having diagonally-disposed wire-receiving incisions in the apex thereof, longitudinallydisposed slots within the iron adjacent one end and at opposite sides of the apex, and a Y shaped anchor extending through the slots, a portion of said anchor projecting beyond the apex and the inserted portions extending in opposite directions over the edges of the iron.
