tion, such as will enable others skilled in the appertains to make and use the same. I
The object of this invention is toprovide ina fence-post composed of light sheet metal means for fastening wires thereto in such manner as to prevent'their being accidentally disengaged and at the same time permit the wires to be readilyreleased when it is de sired to disengage them from the post. j
The invention will be hereinafter fully set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claim. 3 In the accompanying drawings,'Figure 1' shows a portion of a fence the posts of'which are constructed in accordancewith my 'invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged View of a portion of a post. Fig. 3 is a'longitudinal sec -tio nal view on line 3 3, Fig. 2.
In carrying out my invention the post 1 is made of light sheet metal and'in respect to its general contounis of approximately scroll formation, with its longitudinal edges bent or curved inwardly-toward each other. It is I it be provided with a flat front face 2. From this face I strike up a series of wire-retainers in the form of tongues Each of these tongues ati ts base remains integral with the body of the post. It is bent or crimped outward at 4, thence inward at 5, and then again outward at 6. The outward bend 4 in con'unction with the inward bend 5 forms a poc et for the'fence- The inward bend 5 serves to retain the wire in the pocket, and the latter being at the base of the tongue, where such tongue forms part of the body of the post, pressure against the fence-wire in the dlrection away from the post' cannot effect the outward bonding of the tongue. As shown in Fig. 1, when one post is set on a plane lower than an ad acent post the wire is revented from pulling upwardly and out o the pocket by reason of the inward bend 5. The extreme v ready insertion of a tool I to be a. full, clear, and exact description of the inven- I connection'to the face of the end of the tongue being bent outward, as at so'asto normally occupy a plane outside that of the face of the ,post, permits of the between the tongue and the face of the post to force the former outward to allow of the release of the wire.
I am aware that it is not new to form tongues from the body of a fence-post, such tongues being projected through the slots or openings of the resulting apertures; but in all such instances the posts are made of heavy sheet -.steel, and the bend of the tongues has been such as to make the retention of the wires exceedingly insecure, such wires being-liable to pull out when the osts are on different planes and also liable to force the tongues outward by. unusual pressure on the wires in the direction away ro m the posts. I am also aware that it is not new to form lips atthe edges of angular posts by means of grooves terminating in perforations for accommodating, the fence-wires; but according to my invention the ton ues are struck up from the flat face of tie post, and special perforations are not necessary, since' wires are retained in .the pockets formed at the base of the tongues-where by the inward bendof the tongues the wires are retained in their pockets, while by the outward bending of the free ends a tool be readily inserted between the ton ues the posts to allow the wires to be released.
I'clain'r as my invention.
A fence-post composed of light sheet metal bent to provide a fiat face, tongues struck u from said fiat face and bent outward and thence inward at oints intermediate their ends, said tonguesorming, at their points of 0st, wire-retaining pockets, the free ends'of said ton ues normally lying outside the plane of the ace of the post.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribmg witnesses.
