Application filed December 6, 1926. Serial No. 152,998.
The invention relates to improvements in devices for protecting telephone or telegrepb or similar poles, fence posts and trees aga nstinjury from gross and the like burn ng around them, and it is the object of the invention to provide new and improved protector for this purpose, which protector mey be easily end inexpensively manufactured,
the invention sold at small cost, easily instslled used to great advantage. b
With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel subjectmatter hereinafter described and claimed, the description being supplemented by the accompanying drawing.
Figs. 1, 2 end 3 are side elevations loolo ing in different directions, showing the protector applied to afence post.
Fig. d is u vertical section on line of Fit-Ye C l lo. 5 IS a udmzontal section on line t e of Fig. 8.
into the ground. however before packing it The perforations Q'shown in the numerous views are for drainage purposes.
When the sleeve is to be applied to fence posts, as herein illustrated, or to poles or trees to which wires are secured, said sleeve will be formed with transverse slots 10 to receive the wires. In thepresent showing, the sleeve encircles a fence-post P to which wires W are secured by staples S. In order to apply the sleeve, these staples must of course be r moved and the wires shifted letomlly from the 0st. Then, the sleeve which is longitudinally split, may be passed around the post and the wires again stapled inplace, said wires. being secured however after the lower end of the sleeve has been forced into the earth. Thus, when these wires are secured and located the 10,
they hold the sleeve against possible upward movement out of the ground, so there is no (longer of lire finding its way to the post or the like beneath said sleeve.
The sleeve Tis bent from a single metal sheet, and one edge of this sheet. is bent in wurdly substantially upon itself to provide a. book flange ll. extendlng longitudinally of the sleeve. The other longitudinal edge portion of this sleeve is bent to provide transversely spaced, longitudinally extending formations 12 of S shape in transverse section, and the flange 11 may be hooked intoony of these til-shaped formations, according to the size of the post, pole or tree, around which the sleeve is used. After the sleeve has been mounted in this manner oround'the post or the like, it is filled with the packing 8 and such packing serves to hold the sleeve against contraction, so that there is no danger of the hook flange 11 becoming disengaged from the selectedformstion 12, into which it hes been hooked.
The formations 12 possess another impou tent function, that is,-they permit slight circumferentisl expansion of the sleeve 7, in case the packing 8 should freeze, and thus the danger of injuring the sleeve when the freezing expansion of the packing telres place, is reduced to the minimum.
It will be seen from the foregoing that the device is ex'ceptionull simple and inexpeu sive, may therefore easily and cheaply manufactured and sold at small cost, that it may be quickly and easily applied, and that when it is in use, it will effectively protect poles, posts, or trees against fire.
As excellent results are obtainable frondthe details disclosed, they are preferably followed. However, as above stated, variations may be made.
I claim:
1. An adjustable pole, post or tree protector comprising a. longitudinally split sleeve bent from u single metal sheet, one longitudinal edge of said sheet being bent inwardly substantially upon itself to provide a hook flange, the other longitudinal ing at sleeve to encircle the object to be protected, said sleeve being adapted to be forced a. short distance into the ground, a transverse slot being formed in said sleeve to receive a fence wire secured to the sleeve-encircled object, the wire and slot then holding 1 the sleeve against movement out of the ground.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto atlixed my signature.
NED E. BARNES.
