To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN N/Moonn, a citizen of the United $tates, residing at GreatFalls, in the county of. Cascade and State of Montana, have invented Lcertain new 'anduseful Improvements in Staples, of which the following is a specification.
The primary object in view in devising the staple of this invention has been to provide a fastener of the type mentioned," par- Y ticularly adapted for securing fence wireto fence posts, a staplewhich isforrhcd 111 such a manner as to grip a wire peculiarly, in-
dependently of the impingement of the staple incidental to driving the same into the post.
More specificallyspeaking, the staple of For a full understanding of the present invention, reference is to be had to the following description and to the accompanying drawings, in which'- Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the fastener or staple driven in a wooden fence post and properly engaged with a fence wire. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same. Figs. 3 and 4 are sectionalviews of modified forms of the staple as used in connection with a plastic post. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary elevation of the post shown in Fig. 4c and illustrating the location of the openings which receive the legs of the staple.
, Figs. 6 and 7 are edge views, respectively,
of the plastic post .and wooden post staples. Fig. 8 is a similar view of a modification. Fig. 9 is an end view of the staple as when driven into a post and showing clearly its manner of impingement with a wire as well as the peculiar deflection or kinking of the latter. Fig. 10 is .a side elevation of the staple alone.
Throughout the following detail description and on the several figures of the drawings, similar parts are referred to by like reference characters.
A in the drawings denote a wooden fence post and B and G are plastic fence posts.

D indicates a fence or other wire, it being be noted that the latter is of integral construction and comprises essentially a head portion consisting of a central web 1 and 05'- standing sides 2 extending substantially at a right angle to said web and consisting of extensions from the opposite edges of the latter. The legs 3 of the staple are lOIlg'ltLb dinal extensions or projections of the sides 2 and these legs are arranged in parallel planes spaced from one another owing to the relation of the sides 2 and the web 1. The'adjacent edges of the legs 3 are preferably curved outwardly, or away from each other toward the free terminals of the same so that each leg is practically a penetrating point and, so considered, may be said to have a divergent relation, as shown clearly in Fig. 10.
It will be apparent that the head portion of the staple is longitudinally reinforced by reason of the angular arrangement of the sides 2 in respect to the web 1 and this reinforcen'ient is not only advantageous to render the head rigid for resisting the blows of a driving implement but, as obvious from the drawings, the depression of the sides affords a corresponding arrangement of the legs 3 of the staple, forming spaced bearing points 3 at which the inner edges of the legs 3 may be impinged with the wire D, whether the staple is driven into a wooden post A or applied to a plastic post, such as B or C, in Figs. 3 and l, respectively. When employed for plastic posts, the staple will be of a greater length preferably than when fastener may be passed entirely through openings in the post, as shown in Fig. 3 and then bent apart to form holding stops 3*. However, the legs of the staple, as illus trated in Fig. 4, may be entered in diverging sockets C of the post, these sockets being molded in the post as would also be the openings formed in the post B. lVhen applied to the post D, the driving of the staple in place causes divergence of its legs that operate in the sockets C, thereby insuring retention of the device from displacement. Spaced bearing points 3 of the legs 3 which used for wooden posts so that the legs of the.
of a wire engaged under tension by the staple, are quite clearly shown in Fi 9. In Fig. 8, the legs of the staple are peculiarly curved at points intermediate their ends, as shown at 3 this being advantageous when it is driven into the sockets or openings of a plastic post. I
A staple made in accordance with the invention will preferably be cut from a blank of sheet metal, and bent into proper shape by the application of suitable dies. The staple therefore affords a very advantageous article of manufacture, owing to its very cheap but efficient structure.
Having thus described the what is claimed as new is:
1. A staple comprising a head consisting of a central web having at its longitudinal edges off-standing sides projecting in opposite directions from the web, the said sides being formed with longitudinal extensions forming legs for the staple arranged in parallel spaced planes.
2. A staple comprising a head consisting of a central web having at its longitudinal edges off-standing sides projecting in opposite directions from the web, th said sides being formed with longitudinal extensions forming legs for the staple arranged in arallel spaced planes, the adjacent edges 0 the legs curving outwardly to their free terminal points.
3. As a new articl of manufacture, a fence wire staple consisting of a piece of invention,
sheet metal bent at an portion to form a central web, and off-standingsides 4:. As a new article of=manufacture,ia
fence wire staple of integral structureconsistingof a plate bent at an intermediate portion to provide a head composed of a central web, and side port-ions extending practically at a right angle from the oppo-r side edges of said web and in opposite directions, said sldes bemgformed with lntegral extensions constituting legs for the staple. p
5. As a new article of- 'manufacture, a
fence wire staple of integral structureconsisting' of a plate bent-at an intermediate port on to provide a head composed of a central web, and side portionsextending. practically at a right anglefrom the oppo-f:
site edges of said weband in opposite directions, the said sides being formed withlongi- .i
tudinal extensions terminating some distance from the web and forming legs, the
outermost edges of said legs being'parallel,
while their inner edges diverge toward the free terminals of the legs. 7 V
