ISRAEL L. LANDIS, OF LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA.
FENCE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 254,224, dated February 28, 1882.
Application filed December 21, 1881. No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ISRAEL L. LANDIS, of Lancaster, in the county of Lancaster, and in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new'and useful Improvements in Fences; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
This invention relates to rail-fences and the each other, and the posts are secured into the ground in any suitable manner.
0 O designate wires, which are suitably secured at their extremities to nails a a, driven into the edges of the posts.
Fig. 1 shows the ends of the rails crossing a post on opposite sides thereof, the rails on one side of the post being arranged in horizontal planes opposite the spaces between the rails on the other side of the post. A wire, 0,
after being secured to a nail, a, is passed in a looped manner (shown at b b) around the rails,
crossing the same diagonally on one side of the fence and vertically on the opposite side of the fence. The wire is passed alternately around opposite rails, and where the wire crosses the posts each crossing is supported by a nail, b,
driven into the post.-
The nails 12 support the ends of the rails and prevent them from sagging, and as these nails are headed they bind the wire crossings firmly to the post. They therefore serve a double purpose.
The diagonal wire crossings afford braces for tying the rails firmly to the posts and prevent the rails from slipping. They also allow the alternate arrangement of the bindingloops.
It is obvious that myinvention is well adapted for fences on hillsides and valleys, where the rails are more or less inclined from a horizontal plane.
I claim- In a fence, the combination of the rails, the post, the diagonal and vertically-arranged wire loops which bind the rails to the post, and which pass vertically and diagonally around alternate rails, and the nails b, driven into the posts for supporting the loops and rails, substantially as described. I
In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses, this 15th day of December, 1881.
ISRAEL L. LANDIS.
Witnesses J. J. MCCARTHY, H. J. ENNIS.
