JACOB SHILLlNG, OF PARVIN, PENNSYLVANIA.
FENCE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 393,081, dated November 20, 1888.
Application filed May 3l, 1888. Serial No. 275,621. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, JACOB SHILLING, a citi` zen ofthe United States, residing at Parvin, in the county of Clinton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fences, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in portable panel-fences; and it consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended c laim.
Figure l of the drawings represents a perspective view of a portion of a fence illustrating theinvention and showing both the Wooden and the iron braces attached to the fence. Fig. 2 is a side view of the edges of two panels that contain barb-Wire, connected when the panels are aligned. Fig. 3 represents a side of the same when the panels have not barbwire. Fig. 4 is a side View of a pair of wooden braces detached. Fig. 5 is a transverse section of one of the panels.
Referring to the drawings by letter, A desigiates a panel of the fence constructed as folows:
'B B are the end and central intermediate uprights, arranged in pairs, and b b are the bottom and top rails, with their ends resting between the corresponding ends of the end uprights and their central parts resting between the ends of the intermediate uprights.
C C are large bolts passing through registering-openings in the end portions of the uprights and in the corresponding parts of the rails, and secured in place by the nuts c on the threaded ends. The end uprights are provided near their tops and bottoms with end holes, c', that register on opposite sides and have the pins c2 connecting each opposite pair.
D D are strands of heavy barbed wire arranged horizontally and between the top and bottom rails and loosely secured at their ends between the end uprights. By means ofthe bolts and nuts the uprights and rails may be set and securely held at right angles or at any desired angle to each other, so that the panels may be adapted to be set up on horizontal ground or on hills of any inclination.
E E are metal brace-rods having their upper ends looped around the bolts, to the inner sides of the heads and nuts thereof, and their lower ends bent downward into the ground on opposite sides and at suitable distances from the fence. These iron braces are arranged in pairs at the endsv ofeach panel.
F F are wooden braces arranged at suitable intervals along the fence and aiding in its support. The said braces are arranged in pairs, the members of which are pivoted together near their upper ends. Above their pivots they have the facing rectangular shoulders f, which when turned flush with each other form, with the adjacent edges of the upper arms of the braces, the rectangular notches f', serving as seats for the top rails of the panels. To put the said braces in place, the shoulders are inserted under the top rails, the lower arms ofthe braces being on opposite sides of the fence. They are then brought together till the said seats are formed under the said rails and the lower ends of the braces rest on the ground. Stakes are then driven against the outer edges of said ends to hold the braces in place.
W'hen it is desired to set up the panels with barb-Wires to form a straight fence, short boards G, perforated near their ends, are pushed between the end uprights of adjoining panels and held in place by the pins c'l passing through their perforations. When it is desired to set up the panels with wooden rails in a similar manner, planks g a little longer than the panels are pushed through the end uprights of adjoining panels and their ends pinned between the intermediate uprights of said panels. In all cases the brace-rods E and braces F are used in the manner described. Curved iron straps H, perforated near their ends, are attached at points opposite the highest and lowest rails, at one end of each panel, by the bolts C, the heads or nuts of the said bolts resting upon the outside of the said straps, through the perforations near one end of which the shanks of the bolts pass. Thus when it is desired to set the fence zigzag, or like a worm-fence, the ends of the panels having no straps H have their bolts C drawn and passed through the perforations in the free ends of the straps H of adjoining panels and then replaced. By having an equal number of panels with the straps on opposite sides of corre- IOO spending ends-that is, half on the sides ofthe bolt-heads and half on the sides of the nutsit can be plainly seen that the panels when provided with the rectangular facing-shoulders ff, which, with the adjacent edges of the up- 15 per arm of the braces, forni a notch, f,whieh engages the lower edge of oneof the panelrails, substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I havehereto affixed my signature in pres- 2o enee of two Witnesses.
