FENCE-POST.
Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented July 28, 1908.
Application filed September 23, 1907. Serial No. 394,135.
Be it known that I, JAMES H. I-IUFFORD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Muncie, in the county of Delaware and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,
such as will enable others skilled in the art to y which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to` new and useful improvements in fence posts, and my object is to rovide means for forming a combined meta ic and plastic fence post without employing the usual form of mold.
A further object is to provide means for reinforcing the parts of the post receiving the greatest amount of strain, and astill further Objectis to provide means for holding the metallic portions of the post in osition while the plastic portion of the post is being.
formed.
Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter referred to and more Aparticularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanyin drawings which are ication, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view post employed in constructing fences. Fig. 2 is a sectional view through that form of post employed forV supporting gates or for corner posts. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the metallic portions of the post, and, Fig. 4 is a perspective viewl of the ost complete.
Referring to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate corresponding arts throughout the several views, 1 indicates the base of my improved post, which is preferably constructed of plastic material, and is formed by di ing a cavity 2 in the earths surface, and ilIing the same with the lastic material, the upper end of the cavity geing preferably enlarged to form a ledge 3 at the u per end of the base.
In or er to reinforce the base, I embed thereina reinforcing member which preferably consists of a hollow tile 4, which is entirely ,surrounded by the plastic material, and is also filled with the plastic material, and in order to properly locate the tile in the base, the cavity 2 is filled to a certain height with the plastic material, and the tile then placed thereon, andthe remainder of the cavity pletely embedding the tile,in the base.
. very strong form of then filled, which will result in comi After the base has been formed, I seat thereon the metallic portion ,of the post, which consists of a frame 5 which is provided with plates 6 at its lower end, which plates .extend at right angles to the longitudinal .axis of the frame, and rest u on the ledge 3 formed on the base 1, the p ates forminga support for the frame,
the frame in position over the base 1 and prevent the same from slipping or moving out of position, I enter anchor bars 7 in that portion of the plastic Vmaterial within the tile 4 and secure to the upper ends of the anchor bars tie-wires 8, sai wires being passed through openings in the anchor bars and the two ends of each wire brought together to form the wires into loops, after which the ends of the wires are directed through bores 9 in the frame 5 and twisted together, said wires passing to opposite sides o the frame. Mter the frame 5 is thus anchored upon the 4base 1, the frame is filled; with plastic material, and in order to protect the upper end of the frame and revent water from entering the frame, the y the u per en of the frame and extended over t e edgesthereof, the upper surface of the plastic portion of the post being rounded so as to readily shed the water.
The' frame 5 `may be likewise reinforced by I disposing a brace wire 10' through the cavity in the frame 5, and securing the ends thereof to the walls of the frame. In Fig. 2 ofthe drawing, I have shown the form of post employed as a corner post, or for a gate post, and in this instance, the parts of the post are made heavier and the tile is of greater length than is employed in the line post, s o as to lend greater strength to the post, and in this instance I have also shown the anchor bars rovided with lateral extensions 11 at their ower ends, so as to more securely anchor the same in position.
It will thus be seen that I have provided a ost and one that is practically indestructible, and it will also be seen vthat I `am enabled to build the post without em loying the vusual form of mold.
What I c aim is:
1. A post of the class described, comprising a base, edge of said base, a hollow frame on said base, means to hold said frame in position on the base and plastic material in said frame, and over the up er end thereof.
2'. A post of tlfie class described, comprisa ledge surrounding the upper and 1n order to hold astio material is raised above ing a base, a tile embedded in the upper end of said base, a hollow frame extending up- Wardly from said base and plastic material in said frame and extending over the upper end thereof.
tending through said frame and over the upper end thereof, means to anchor the frame in position on the base and a reinforcing tile embedded in the plastic material.
6. A post of the class described, compris- 3. A post of the class described, comprising the combination with a hollow metallic ing a base, a frame on said base, anchor bars in said base, means to secure said frame to the anchor bars and plastic material extending through said frame and over the upper end thereof. v
4. A post of the class described, comprising a base of plastic material, a metallic frame having plates at the lower end thereof,l means to anchor said frame on the base and plastic material extending through said frame and over the upper end thereof.
5. A post of the class described, compris- I ing a base of plastic material, a ledge surrounding the upper end of said base, a hollow frame above said base, plastic material eX- frame and plates at the lower end of said frame; ol' plastic material extending through said frame and over the upper end thereof, a
base member below said frame, anchor hars forsaid frame, tie-wires between said anchor bars and frame and a reinforcing member embedded in the base member.
In testimony whereof l have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
