HINGE PLATE FOR TILTING PosTs. APPLICATION FILED SEPT. 21.1906.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
LESLIE I-I. NEEDIIAM, OF DES MOINES, IOWA, ASSIGNOR TO MRS. JOHN M. PARKER, OF OSKALOOSA, IOWA.
HINGE-PLATE FOR T I'LTING POST'S- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 18, 1907.
T aZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, LESLIE H. NEEDHAM, a citizen of the United States, residing in Des Moines, county of Polk and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hinge-Plates for Tilting Posts, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide for tilting posts a hinge plate of simple, strong, durable and inexpensive construction and which will provide a means of easily and quickly shifting or changing the plane of a fence from the vertical to the inclined or vice versa.
.A further object is to provide such a hinge plate adapted to receive, retain and secure the lower wires of a woven wire fence but from which the wires may be quickly removed if the operator so desires.
My invention consists of certain details of construction hereinafter set forth pointed out in my claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure I shows a front elevation of a fence post fitted out with my improved hinge plates; and Fig. II shows a side elevation of my device mounted on a post the dotted lines indicating the position it assumes when the post is tilted.
Referring to the accompanying drawings the reference numeral is used to indicate the lower section of a tilting post and the numeral 11 the upper section.
The lower portion. of my improved hinge plate is provided with an ofiset forming a shoulder engaging the lower edge of the upper section and therebelow With a bolt aperture adapted to receive a pivotal bolt 12 designed to be received also by a corresponding orifice a short distance below the upper surface of the lower section 10, thus obviously pivotally securing my hinge plate to the lower section 10. Above the bolt aperture in the hinge plate as I have thus described it, I have provided a series of bolt apertures 13 each of said apertures 13 being the same dis-- tance from the pivotal aperture and the central aperture of said series 13 being by construction in alinement so as to provide for the upper section 11 being in a vertical plane when said central aperture shall be em-. ployed as hereinafter described. These apertures 13 are adapted to at proper times receive a stay bolt 14 designed to be received also by a corresponding orifice located centrally at the upper extremity of the lower section 10. In the upper portion of my im proved hinge plate I have provided bolt apertures adapted to receive bolts 15 and 16 designed to be also received by correspond-' ing orifices in the upper section 11 thus obviously securely affixing the upper portion of the hinge plate to the said upper section.
' On one of the lateral edges of my hinge late I have provided lugs 17 and 18, said ugs, being similar in all respects, extending outwardly therefrom and downwardly in a parallel plane therewith thus obviously providing recesses 19 and 20 respectively between the lateral edge and lugs. These recesses 19 and 20 are so arranged as to be adapted to receive and secure, when the upper wires are secured to the upper section, the bottom wires of a woven wire fence 21.-
It is my purpose to use two hinge plates on each post sai hinge plates being exactly similar and being designed to operate as companion plates with each other.
In practical use the upper portionof my improved hinge plate is, as has been described, rigidly secured to upper section 11 of the post and the lower ortion of the hinge plate is pivotally secured to the lower section 10 by means of the bolt 12. If it is desired to have the fence stand in a vertical plane the central aperture of the series 13 is the one engaged by the bolt 14 but if the fence is desired to be placed on an incline one of the other apertures in the series 13 is used.
' Havlng thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
A fence post consisting of a lower section portion, a series of apertures each located at I from the lateral edges of said plate to rothe same distance from said first named apvide recesses in conjunction with said plate erture of the late for register with an aperedges ture provide in said lower section, a stay LESLIE H. NEEDHAM. bolt engaging through said last named regis- Witnesses:
tering apertures, and a plurality of outwardly FRANK STEINER,
and downwardly extending lugs projecting J. CHASE ROE.
