UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
' CHARLES F. FOIVLER, OF NORTH SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI.
FENCE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 397,905, dated February 19, 1889.
Application filed July 30, 1888. Serial No. 281,352. (No model.)
To all 107007 it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES F. FOWLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Springfield, in the county of Greene and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fences; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The invention relates to improvements in fences; and it consists in the construction and novel combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth.
The object of my invention is to provide a cheap and serviceable fence constructed of rails and posts suitably secured together with wire.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a representation of a side elevation of a section of fence embodying my improvements, and Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section on the line X X of Fig. 1.
Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, D designates a fence-post or vertical stake, which is driven into the ground a sufficient distance to give it the requisite stability, thereby obviating the necessity of digging post-holes, and thus lessening the labor of constructing the fence.
B B designate the fence-rails, the meeting ends of which are lapped and are secured to the post D by a binding-wire, E, connected at one end to the fence post or stake D below the lower fence-rail, and connected at the other end to the fence post or stake D above the upper fence-rail. At convenient points, preferably between the third and fifth pairs of rails, the tie-wires F are provided, which are first passed around the wire E, across beneath the lapped rails, and around the stake or post D, after which the projecting ends of the wire F are twisted together to draw the binding-wire E closely against the rails of the fence.
A and A designate crossed stakes, the
lower ends of which are firmly seated in the ground, their upper ends being crossed to form a crotch, in which the lapped ends of the riders B rest when in place.
Auxiliary rails B have their meeting ends lapped, and wires a a are bent around the stakes A and A, and also around the riders B and auxiliary rails 13, said wires act being crossed between the pairs of riders and auxiliary rails, and have their projecting ends twisted together above the riders to cause said wires a a to tightly bind the crossed stakes, riders, and auxiliary rails together.
In case it should become necessary at any time to repair the fence, the disposition of the post-s and stakes being alternate, access can be had to either without interference with the other, and, further, the distribution of the joints or laps renders the. fence less liable to be blown down by wind-storm or by cattle or stock attempting to break through.
I am aware that it is not novel to lap the ends of fence-rails and connect them by bind ing-wires to the fence-posts,'which are in turn connected to the riders and stakes, and I make no claim to such construction herein.
IVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a fence, the combination, with the driven posts, the lapped fence-rails, the binding-wires secured at their upper and lower ends to the driven posts, and the tie-wires engaging the binding-wires and driven fence-posts, of the crossed stakes having their lower ends seated in the ground intermediately of-the driven posts, the riders resting in the crotches of said crossed stakes, the auxiliary rails, and the crossed wires (1 a, connecting the crossed stakes, riders, and auxiliary rails together, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES F. FOWLER.
