Description

Patented 1911" M 2 .6 I m 7 45 55 5 I m R. D. DWINEi ROY D. REDWINE, 0F SIPE SPRINGS, TEXAS.
POST.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 24, 1911.
Application filed May 21, 1910. Serial No. 562,656.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROY D. REDWINE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sipe Springs, in the county of Comanche and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Posts, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to fence posts, and more especially to means for fastening wires thereto.
The principal object of this invention is the production of a post which is provided with peculiarly shaped apertures or grooves for clamping a staple therein, and preventing the same from being accidentally displaced from the post.
Another object of the present invention is the production of a post which is simple in construction, efficient in operation, and consists of a comparatively small number of parts.
WVith these and other objects in view, this invention consists of certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the post. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the post.
Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 designates the body of the post which is provided with a sharpened base 2 so as to facilitate the placing of the post in the ground. The body 1 is provided with a plurality of curved apertures 3 formed on the are of a circle and having both ends communicating with the same surface of the post. Staples 4 are adapted to be placed in said apertures 3 for holding the wire strands 5 in engagement with the post 1, and in view of the fact that the apertures are arranged in pairs, as clearly shown in Fig. 2, each strand will be clamped, by means of a staple between two apertures. The shanks 6 of the staples 4 are adapted to fit in the apertures 3 and as the staples are driven in, the shanks 6 bend outwardly and the ends 7 are bent flat upon the face of the post 1 as shown in Fig. 2. It will be obvious that the staples will form a good clamp for holding the wire in engagement with the post and in view of the good binding action caused by bending the ends 7 of the staple 1 back upon the body the wires will not become accidentally detached.
Having described the invention, I claim: A post comprising a body provided with a plurality of apertures arranged in pairs and formed on the arc of a circle, and having both ends thereof communicating with the same surface of the body, staples fitting in said apertures and having their ends bent flat upon the body, said staples provided with a wire receiving portion, the ends of said staples extending toward said wire re ceiving portion, and said wire receiving portion of said staple projecting out beyond said ends of the staples so as to act as a shield for preventing the ends of the staples from being accidentally bent outwardly.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ROY D. REDWINE. lVitnesses:
P. L. PARKER, C. RUTHERFORD.
