IMPROVEMENT lN IRON FENCES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 72,6 [3, dated January 25, 1876; application filed November 8, 1875.

- To all whom it may concern:

which the following is a specification, reference being bad to the accompanyingdrawings.

The object of my invention is the construction of a fence in a cheap, durable, and convenient manner; and the invention consists of hollow bearings of the pales and arms of theposts,in combination with eyebolts, which bind the rails or the rods thereon, as hereinafter described.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a face view of the rear side of the panel of the fence, which is formed ot'two posts, the intermediate pales, and the tie'rods. Fig. 2 is a vertical section at the line as as of Fig. 1.

Like letters of reference in both figures indicate the same parts.

A A represent the posts of the panel. On the inner side of each post are arms a a, for the connection of the ends of the rails or tierods B B. For the continuation of a fence in a straight line each way, like arms are used on the opposite sides of the posts, and at the corners of the fence additional arms are used at right angles to the others. The arms have recesses b to receive the heads of the eyebolts G and the projecting ends of the rods. The stems of the eyebolts pass through corresponding openings in arms a, and are secured by means of nuts d, whereby the rods are drawn tightly upon the bearings f.

In the drawing I have represented two pales, D, in a single piece, but any desirable number may be made together.

The paleshave recesses b in their rear sides to receive the eyes of bolts and bearings f for the rods B. Eyebolts 0 pass through the pales in the same manner as through the arms a, and draw the rails upon the bearingsf.

The pales may be constructed in any convenient form and variety of pattern, and arranged close together, as shown in the drawings, or any desirable distance apart.

When the pales and posts are made of castiron the holes of the screw-bolts may'make be omitted, by

in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of adjustable eyebolts O with the rods B and pales D, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

SUMMERS GROWELL.
