UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FENCE-POST.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 13, 1906.
Application filed February 7, 1906. Serlal No. 299,869.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE F. GREENE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented. new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to fence-posts con structed of concrete, cement, or other plastic material; and the invention consists in a post provided with one or more longitudinal ribs, which shall be covered by a longitudinal fastening device, whereby the Wires or strands of a fence may be secured in position.
My invention further consists in the form of the longitudinal ribs that are adapted to securely hold the strands of Wire-fencing in position when such ribs are covered by the fastener.
This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Which Figure 1 is a view of one type of post em bodying my invention, the fastener being a length of angle-bar. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on the line A A of Fig.1.
Similar reference characters refer to like parts throughout both views.
Aside from the question of strength the value of a fence-post depends upon its adaptability to support the strands of wire that compose the fence. In many posts devices are molded into the body of the post to which the strands may be secured; but in such cases the position of the wires cannot be varied. I have here shown a construction wherein the position of the wires with regard to their height is a matter of indiiference, the construction being such that they may be secured at any desired point on the post and their number varied as desired.
In Figs. 1 and 2 the post 1 is provided'with a rib 2, which extends along the post for the distance that the fence-strands are liable to occupy. The post is provided with holes through which the bolts 3 may extend, which bolts are adapted to hold the angle-bar 4 in position on the rib. The post is set in the ground, the wires positioned and stretched, and then the angle-bar is clamped in position by the bolts. The action of the angle-bar is to clamp the wires around the rib and also to force them into the apex of the triangular rib, thus insuring. them against movement. It will be seen that this construction will operate with any number of strands spaced as desired. The angle-bar fastener also serves to strengthen the post.
Having now explained my improvements, what I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a post, the combination of a plastic body having a longitudinally-extending V- shaped rib projecting from a side of the same, a longitudinal angle-bar-fastening member adapted to fit the sides of the rib, and bolts extending through the fastening member and the body of the post and adapted to securely retain fence-wires between the fastening member and the post.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
. GEORGE F. GREENE.
