FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 732,242, dated June 30, 19053.
Application filed October 6, 1902. Serial No. 126,215. (No model.) i
T0 all whom, t mm1/y concern:
Be it known that I, JAY G. WAIT, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city-of Sturgis, in the county of St. Joseph and'State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts,of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements'in artificial-stone or concrete fence-posts and the like. Y
It relates particularly to an improved combination artificial-stone or concrete and metal post.
The objects of this invention are, lirst, to provide a combination artificial-stone or concrete and metal fence-post which may be comparatively small and light and at the same time be strong and durable; second, to provide an artificial-stone or concrete and metal fence-post to which any style of wire fencing may be secured without any special adaptation; third, to provide an improved stone or concrete and metal fence-post to which the fence may be readily attached or removed.
Further objects will definitely appear in the detailed description to follow.
I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification.
The invention is clearly defined, and pointed out in the claims.
A structure embodying the features of my invention is fully illustrated in the accompanying drawings,forming a part of this specication, in which- Figure l is an elevation view of a fen-cepost embodying the features of my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail longitudinal view taken onY a line corresponding to line 2 2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a detail cross-sectional view taken on a line corresponding to line 8 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail cross-sectional view taken on a line corresponding to line 4 4 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of the core and attaching plate B.
In the drawings the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section-lines, and similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings, the body portion A of the post is formed of suitable artificialstone or concrete composition, preferably a composition of Portland cement. The coreplate B, formed of sheet metal, is embedded in the body portion A and forms a strengthening and binding means therefor. .The rear edge of the core-plateV B is formed into a hook B". This binding action is increased by strik-t ing up portions of the metal, as at c,.to form tongue-like lateral extensions. The edge of the core-plate B projects beyond the concrete and is formed into an eye or bead B', which is notched laterally, as at b, to-receive the longitudinal strands C of the fence. The strands of the fence are placed in these notches and are all secured in position by inserting a vertical lock-rod e through theeyes B. The notches b are preferably formed quite close together,so that any style of fence may be secured in position-that is, so that it will accommodate fences in which the distances between the longitudinal strands vary. The longitudinal strands can be placed-closer together at the bottom of the fence and at greater distances toward the top, as is illustrated in the drawings. It isapparent that by this means the fence can be quickly se` cured to or detached from the post. The end of theI lock-rod e can be bent or kinked at the top and bottom to prevent its accidental displacement.
The core-plate B preferablyextends the full length of the post, as illustrated. It is found entirely practical, however, to extend the same only short distances below thel ground-line of the post.
The base portion of the post A is preferably enlarged, so that the earth will have a greater supporting action, as in my improved core it is entirely practical to form the poste i and strength inlarticial-stone and concrete posts is very great, both in the saving of material in construction and the expense in handling or transportation.
I have illustrated and described m-y improved fence-post in detail in the form preferred by me on account of its economy in manufacture and convenience inl use.
IOL
aware, however, that it is capable of considerable variation in structural details without departing from my invention.
Having thus described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. InV an artificial-stone or concrete fencepost, the combination of a body portion; a core-plate B of sheet metal with projecting tongues c thereon, and having a hook B formed on its rear edge, and its forward edge turned upon itself to form an eye B enlbedded in said body portion so that said eye portion projects beyond the face of the said post; lateral notches in said eye portion. adapted to receive the longitudinal strands of a felice in said eye portion; and a lock-rod adapted to be inserted through said eye, forl the purpose specied.
2. In an artificial-stone or concrete fencepost, the combination of a body portion; a core-plate Bof sheet metal havinga hook B" formed on its rear edge, and its forward edge turned upon itself to form an eye B embedded in said body portion so that said eye portion projects beyond the face of the said post; lateral notches in said eye portion adapted to receive the longitudinal strands of a fence; and a lock-rod adapted to be inserted through said eye, for the purpose specified.
3. In an artificial-stone or concrete fencepost, the combination of a body portion; a core-plate B of sheet metal with projecting tonguescthereon and having its forward edge turned upon itself to form an eye B', embedded in said body portion so that said eye portion projects beyond the face of the said post; lateral notches in said eye portion adapted to receive the longitudinal strands of a fence; and a lock-rod adapted to be inserted through said eye, for the purpose specified.
4. In an artilicial-stone or concrete fencepost, the combination of a body portion; a core-plate B of sheet metal having its forward edge turned upon itself to form an eye B', embedded in said body portion so that said eye portion projects beyond the face of the said post; lateral notches in said eye portion adapted to receive the longitudinal strands of a fence; and a lock-rod adapted to be inserted through said eye, for the purpose specified.
5. In an articial-stone or concrete fencepost, the combination of a body portion; a
core -plate B of sheet met-al having its for ward edge turned upon itself to form an eye B and embedded in said body portion so that said eye portion projects beyond the face of said post; lateral notches in said eye portion adapted to receive longitudinal strands of fence, and means for retaining said strands in said notches, for the purpose specified.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two witn esses.
