RESTORE B. LAMB, OjE MOUNT HOLLY, NElU JERSEY.

PROTECTOR FOR TELEGRAPH AND OTHER POLES.

aeeeev.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RESTORE B. LAMB, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mount Holly, in the county of Burlington, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Protector for Telegraph and other Poles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a device adapted to sustain and preserve the portion of a telegraph, telephone or other pole that is set in the ground, fronrthe influence of the earth and water thereat, and adapt a filling and protective material such as asphalt to flow around said portion, while the measure braced and sustained.

For the purpose of explaining the inven tion, the acconumnying drawing illustrates a satisfactory reduction of the same to practice, but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that to the specific arrangement and orgz'inization shown" and described.

Figures 1 and 2 represent perspective views of portions of a device embodying my pole is in a.

Referring to the drawing :-A

C designates stakes which are, adapted to .be inserted between the casing A and said portion of the pole B and have their lower ends driven into the ground below the base of said excavation.

On the inner sides of the stakes are-pro jecting members D, which are so laced as to leave the channels E on said si es, it being noticed that said members abut against the portion of the pole within the casing, While the outer sides of the stakes contact with the inner face of the casing, it being seen that owing to said stakes the portion of the pole within the casing is, in a measure, sustained in upright position and braced, and the casing is prevented from collapsion.

The casing has a filling F of asphalt or other material of protective nature, the same occupying the casing excepting at the Specification of Letters latent. Application filed October 2, 1909.

places of location of the stakes and shoulders D, and serving to prevent earth and water reachin the portion of the pole' Within the casing from the street, road, eto., thus protecting said ole.

On the top or the casing is a mound G formed of a mass of cement or other mate rial of non-inflammable nature, which pre vents combustion ofthe filling and acts as a water-shed for evident purposes.

The casing is formed of a sheet or piece of suitablefabric, waterproofed and otherwise treatedwith asphalt or the like, so as to be comparatively indestructible, the same being bent into cylindrical form with its ends overlapping and united by nailing or other means to the cleat H on the interior thereof, thus connecting and bracing said ends and preserving the shape of the casing, especially preparatory to and during the laying of the casing in the excavation.

Attention is especially directed to the channels E above, below and between the members or abutments D, the same forming means of communication around the interior of the casing A, so that in pouring the asphalt or other filling material into the casing, said material flows around the portion of the pole therein through said channels from one stake to the other Without interruption, excepting at the places of location of the abutments D, but here the latter bear against said portion of the pole and so serves to brace and sustain the same in upright position, as has been stated.

When the mound. is displaced, the fillin may be dug out, when the stakes, cleat an casing are removable in any su1table manner, leaving the portion of the pole 1n the casing accessible for any purpose requlrlng the same. 7

Having thus described my inventiomwhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a object between sai object andcasing, sa1d stake having a member adapted to abut sald vobject, and having on its side a channel ada t-- ed to form a communication in the casing around said object.

2. In a protector of the character stated, a casing having overlapped ends, a cleat upon the interior of the casing and to which protector of the character stated, a casing adapted to inclose a portlon of an to be (protected,andastake interposed said overlapped ends are secured and a stake interposed between said casing and the object to be protected and having a channel for the reception of filling material in said teasing. i

3. In a protector ofithe character stated, a casing adapted to inclose a portion of an .rial in the easing.

' 4:. In a protector of the character stated,

a casing, acleat adapted to join the ends thereof, a stake in the casing interposed he- 5 tween the same and the portion of the object to be protected occupyingsaid casing, and filling material in said casing around said object and stake, said stake having a channel which forms a communication for said 20 filling.
