PEN GE POST.
APPLICATION mum MAR. 2. 1907.
GARRET G. SEYMOUR, OF ASI-IERVILLE, KANSAS.
FENCE-POST.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented April 23, 1907.
Application filed March 2. 1907. Serial No. 360,159.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GARRET G. SEYMOUR, a citi'zenpf the United States, residing at Asherville, in the county of Mitchell and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in, Fence-Posts, of which the fol owing is a specification.
The resent invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in fence construction, and more particularly to a fence 0st provided with a novel means whereby the ongitudinally extending wires can be readily secured thereto without the necessity of employing staples or other detachable fastening members.
In general the invention comprises a post formed with an outstanding vertical flange, the said flange bein provided with wire receivin openings an with guide slots leading from the edge of the flange into the said wire receiving openings, spring members being employed to normally retain the wires in position within the wire receiving openings.
For afull description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction and the means for effecting the result, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a fence post constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the post. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line w-vc of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the post viewing the same at right angles to Fig. 2.
Corresponding andjlike parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in-all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
A fence. post constructed in accordance with the present invention comprises a vertically arranged outstanding flange and is show'nin the present instance'as formed of three flanges radiating from a common cen ter. This post may be eitherrolled from an integral piece of metal or may beformed as shown in the drawings from a single piece of sheet material which is doubled u on itself at an intermediate'point to form t e flanged, the two ed esbeing diverged to form the flanges Zan 3, the latter being doubled upon itself so that the two flanges 1 and 3 each comrise adouble thickness of the sheet material.
he lower end of the post is pointed so as to be readily driven into the ground and is rovided with a rotecting shoe 4 of stee or other hardene metal. Formed at intervals in the flange 2 are a series of wire receiving openings 5 which in the present instance have an elongated formation and are vertically disposed. Communicating with each of the wire receivin openings 5 and leading to the outer edge 0 the flange 2 is a guide slot 6 which as shown in the drawings is preferably arranged at an angle to the wire receiving opening 5. Spring members 7 are employed to retain the fence wire 8 within the wire receiving openings 5, and the said spring members 7 normally project over the inner extremities of the guide slots 6. It will be observed that these guide slots intersect the wire receiving openings 5 at a distance from i one of the ends thereof, and in the present instance at an intermediate oint. It will thus be apparent that when t e fence wire'S is forced within th guide slot 6 and is brought into engagement with the extremity of the spring 7, it forces the latter inwardly until the wire enters the opening 5 when the spring 7 is disengaged and again assumes its normal position across the guide slot 6 and tends to prevent accidental disengagement of the fence wire. In the specificconstruction of the spring members .7-it will be observed that the same are formed from a single strip of flat material one end of which is turned a quarter revolution and rigidlyconnected to the fence post by any suitable means such as the rivets 9, while the opposite end projects laterally from the fence post and extends over the inner portion of the guide slot 6. As shown in the drawings the guide'slots 6 leading into the upper'wire receiving openings 5 are inclined upwardly, while the guide slot 6 leading into'the lower wire receiving opening is inclined downwardly in order to prevent' the bottom wire from interfering with the ground when the 0st is in position.
Having thus described t e invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. In a device of the character described, the combination of a post comprising an outstanding flange having a wire receiving opening formed therein and provided with a guide slot leading from an edge of the flange and intersecting the wire receiving opening, and a flexible spring arm secured to the post and projecting across the guide slot, the said spring armyielding to admit of a fence wire l I ectmg across the gulde slot, the said spring being positioned within the Wire receiving I armyi elding to admit of a fence Wire being opening and operating to prevent accidental displacement of the Wire. positioned Within the wire receiving opening 2. In a device of the characterdescribed, and operating to prevent accidental displace 3' the combination of a post comprising an outmust of the said wire.
