`Specification of LettersPatent.
Patented March 3 1 f 1 908.
Application led January 16, 1908. Y Serial No. 411.151.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Louis H. Stor'r, a citizen ol the lnited States, residing at Princeton, in the county tif-Bureau and State of Illinois, have invented a newrand useful Imrovement -in Fence-Posts, ot' which the folowing is a specification.
My object is to rovide a concrete, orreinforced concrete, enceost, more especially for wire fences and an improved construction which adapts it for holding either mesh wire fencing or fencing formed of separate and long gitudinally extending vwires only; and my object is further to provide simple and improved means for fastening the fence wires securely to the posts.
Referring to the drawing-Figure 1 is a broken view showin my improved post in front elevation sustaining a meshwire fence; Fig. 2, a perspective view of the post; Fig. 3, an enlarged perspective illustration of the manner of fastening the fence wires to the post; and Figs. .4 and 5, enlarged sections of the st taken, respectively, on lines 4 and 5 in 1.
The post 6 is molded from suitable concrete, and preferably reinforced by two embedded nietal bars 7 in a commonmanner. It is formed with 'a flat front face 8, flat sides 9.--9 at ri ht angles to the front and ta erin frolntheI ase to the top, and a roundedJ bac n shape of the post described is an important feature of my invention. It not `on y renders the post symmetrical and attractive in appearance but, as the strain upon the post in use is more es ecially in the direction transversely of theerly apportions the strain-resistingualit wh e maintaining the fence wires parallel'in the The face 8 and .sides 9 rmit the ready application of a spirit leve or the like, *to insure the posts being set vert-icall in the ground. Fbrmed in the front or face 8 of the post and extending from near the ground line 4to the top thereof is a series of shallow horizonproximately one inch from center to center. hese grooves are adapted to receive the horizontal fence wires 12, and'being so close to ether they will either register exactly with lg of the fence wires or permit them to he sprung into the grooves without bending the vertical or stay wires 11 T he means for fastening the fence wires to ence, it propf 11, which in `practice are apthe posts consist .of a length of flexible bending wire 14 which is first secured to the top wire `12 at one side of the post, then passed across the sides 9 and back 10 of the post and looped, from the underside around the same wire 12, then passed downward across the sides i) and back 1() to thenext lower wire 12, around which it is looped from the lower side first at'one and then the other side of the post, and so on, as illustrated in Fig. 3. As the binding wire is looped around the strands 12 it is drawn taut to fasten them firmly in the respective grooves 11. The wire -14 should be long enough to fasten all the strands to the post -as described and leave a length 15 sufficient to pass Well int-o the ground and thus operate as a lightning arrester.
1t is desirable that the fence wire shall be fastened to the posts with great rigidity as well as security in order, for one reason, that the slight swayingv oi the wires under the action ofthe wind, may not cause them to become worn and ^weakened vby abrasion against the posts. The llat pr-ripcndicular face S, which is in the form of Aa parallelograrn, permits the stretched wires 12 to hug closely the grooves 11,` and the round back 10 and flat sides 9-present no corners to the bein rawn perfectly taut.
at I claim as new, and by Letters Patent, is- 1.` In combination, a concrete fence-post having a flat face formed with a series of desire to secure seriesl of fence-wire strands crossing the face `in said grooves, and means for fastening said 'strands in place comprising a single wire `fastened at one end to the upper strand at one side of the post, passing thence across where it is looped-around the same strand, passing thence across said back ortion to the next lower strand around w ich it is ylooped firstat one and then the other side of the post, the strands being all thus fastened in succession bythe wire looped around .them at op osite sides of the post, in the manner set orth.
2. In combination, having aflat face grooves and a rounded back portieri, a vertical series of fence-wire strands crossing the face in said grooves, and means for fastening the said strands in place comprising a single a concrete fence-post bindin wire which would interfere. with its grooves and a rounded back' portion, a vertical said back portion to the other side of the posit formed with a series ol'A lOl wire fastened et its u per end to the upper around them at opposite sides of the post in 10 Strand et one side of t e` post, passing thence .the post Where it is loopederound the same atrend, assing' thence across said backportion to t e next lower strand around which it y isooped first et one and thenfet the other side of the post; the strands being all thus festened in succession by the wire looped the manner set forth, the lower end of seid vacross seid beck portion to the other side of single wire being embedded in the ground to form a lightningerrester.`
