R. MATTIGE.
METALLIC FENCE POST.
APPLIOATION FILED AUG. 29. 190s.
Patented Dec. y28, 1909.
ROYAL MATTICE, 0F WICHITA, KANSAS.
METALLIC FENCEPOST.
Application led August 29, 1908. Serial No. 450,91*?.
To all whom 'it may concern.:
Be it known that I, ROYAL MATTIGE, a citizen of the United States,l residing at W'ichita, in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Fence- Posts, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a fence p'ost formed from sheet metal, preferably galvanized iron, in such form as to afford great strength and rigidity in proportion to the weight of metal employed, and which affords suitable and convenient means for readily securing and clamping the fence fabric or fence wires to the post.
A further object of the invention is to so form the post that it can be easily and cheaply manufactured from a single piece of metal, suitably bent to shape and provided with attaching tongues integrally formed with the post, thereby obviating the provision of separate and additional attaching means.
The invention consists in the features of construction and combination of parts here-A inafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the post having a mesh fence applied thereto; Fig. 2 a similar view showing a wire fence applied to the post; Fig. 3 a sectional elevation of the post; and lligs. i and 5 cross sectional views showing the clamping tongues in dierent positions.
The post is formed from" a single sheet or plate of 1netal,fbent to substantially diamond shape and of`slightly tapering formation from bottom to top. The formation of the post provides angularly disposed front faces 6, and rear faces l7, which latter terminate in edges 8 which are in close proximity or actual abutment with one another, giving a complete diamond formation to the post. Along thefront angle or ridge 9 of the post are a plurality of clamping tongues 10, which arev formed by striking free the metal and leaving a slot or opening 11 in the front of the post. The tongues, as initially formed, are struck forward of the plane of' angle or ridge of the post and the outwardly struck tongue, which thereafter can be struck back, as shown in Fig. 3, to hook around the wire so positioned and clamped, and retain l it in place. This bending oi' the tonguesis permitted by reason of the fact that .the slots,
formed by the striking out of the. tongues,
provide a space or clearance which permits the free end of the tongue to be bent in the manner indicated.
ln stringing a plain wire fence, like 4that shown in F ig. 2, it is desirable to provide crimps l2 in the wire at the clamping points, f
in order to prevent longitudinal movement of the wires.
The post of the present invention is highly superior to a cylindrical metallic post, for the reason that an equal amount of stren th can be obtained with the employment 0% a considerably less weight of metal. This is due to the fact that the formation of 'the bends or anglcs'at thefront and sidestof thepost heavily reinforce the post at the particular points where 'it is most Aikely to be subjected to strain, and'snch reinforcement-., especially at the front of the post where the wire is attached, minimizes the liability of bending or marring the post in the operation of applying the wire thereto. At the same time tiiie formation of the front angle or ridge facilitates the formation and use of the outwardly struck tongues, in that the front faces of the post recede at a sharp enough angle from the front ridge sothat they will not interfere in any way with the Stringing of the wires to the post.
vWhat l regard as new and desire to' secure by Letters Patent is:
i. A hollow fence post formed of a single piece of thin metal bent to substantially dia'- mond shape and having the edges of the metal closely adjacent at the rear side of the post,and having along its front angle a plupiece of thin metal bent to substantially diaof the post and having, along its front angle a plurality of fasteninw devices for Wire out- 10 wardly struck from te metal of the front angle, substantially as described.
