WIRE FENCE.
- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 24, 1907.
Application filed January 21, 1907. Serial No. 353,307.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PAUL C. HARGIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wire Fences, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forminga part hereof.
My invention has relation to improvements in wire fences, and consists in the novel construction offence more fully set forth in the specification and pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 isan outer face view of my improved fence-post and wire secured thereto; Fig. 2 is an inner face elevation on a larger scale; Fig. 3 is an outer face elevation on a larger scale; Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a perspective showing a section of the post; and Fig. 6 is an elevation showing a driver or rammer for driving the post into the ground.
The object of my invention is to construct a wire fence having a post which shall effectively grip the Wire member when the latter is stretched from post to post, the gripping devices consisting of cutting edges stamped from the wall of the post; one making special provision for anchoring the wire to the post; one in which the post shall be light, cheap, durable, and easily driven into the ground without the necessity of digging a hole for its reception; and one possessing further and other advantages better apparent from a detailed description of the invention which is as follows:
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents an angle-bar having a bottom cutting and shearing edge 2 to freely cut into the earth, the bar constituting a post for my improved fence. The post is driven into the ground by means of a driver or rammer head R provided with a central guide stem 8 entering into the trough of the channel, and with side guide-mernbers or handle bars d, d, engaging the outside faces of the legs of the anglebar (Fig. 6), the operator lifting, and dropping the weight R against the top of the post and forcing it into the ground until the bases or free ends of the handlebars d, d, come in contact with the surface of the ground.
Disposed along the edges of the respective legs or members of the angle-bar are recesses r, the axes of the recesses being inclined to the edges of the legs or anglebar members, and the bounding walls of each recess being disposed at right angles to the opposite faces of the leg in which the recess is formed. In this way each pair of opposite recesses 1' present to the wire in a cutting edge a, a, and b, b respectively, depending on the direction in which draft is exerted on the wire in the operation of stretching the same. If for example we pull on the wire in the direction shown by the plain arrow in Fig. 4, the cutting edges 0., a, would grip the wire against longitudinal movement in that direction; and if pulled to the left as indicated by the feathered arrow, the same would be gripped by the edges b, b, so that the wire could be tightened and stretched by being drawn taut in either direction. Thus, a perfectstretching could be imparted to the wire between each pair of posts, the cutting edges referred to preventing the slipping of the particular strand or length operated on. Adjacent each recess is an inclined notch 'n inclining upwardly toward the recess 1", there being formed as a result of each recess 1" and notch n, a cleat e for the support of the anchor or tie t, the latter being a small wire passed through the notch or, and its ends brought up on each side of the cleat e, and looped over the wire w as shown. This secures the wire permanently in position, the anchors or ties being distributed along the fence where needed. I
A fence like the one just described can be put up very rapidly and cheaply, it requiring no post holes as each post can be rapidly driven into the ground to proper depth by the rammer or driver R. The anglebar is stiff and light and can be cheaply made.
Having described my invention what I claim is:
In combination with an angle-bar forming a. fence post,
and having opposite marginal alining recesses inclined downwardly from the opposite edges of the bar, a series of upwardly inclined notches inclining upwardly from said edges and forming with the respective recesses a series of cleats, the sides of the recesses being substantially at right angles to the faces of the members of the angle bar whereby suitable cutting or gripping edges are formed, a wire passed through and supported at the bottoms of the alining recesses of the angle bar and adapted to be gripped by the cutting edges aforesaid, and suitable ties or anchor wires passed through the notches and along the sides of the cleats and looped around the wires on opposite sides of the angle-bar legs aforesaid, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I aflilx my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
PAUL c. nAaers.
