JOHN 3. CASE TTOR/VEY y 0, 1965 J. 5. CASE 3,195,697
SPLIT ANCHOR SHOE FOR FOUR CORNERED STRUCTURE Filed March 22. 1962 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 mlyg INVENT OR :JOHN 5. CASE ATTORNEY nite Stas This invention relates generally to fences, and more particularly it pertains to a split anchor shoe for securing bracing to posts of fence structures.
A time-saving and exceptionally secure method has been developed for post setting without a dog hole. This consists in driving the post down into solid ground and then anchoring it in position by means of two angle blades driven diagonally through a clamp anchor shoe bolted to the opposite sides of the post usually just beneath ground level.
The anchor blades will sometimes be driven at an improper angle and attitude with respect to the post, thus causing poor anchorage and a tendency to rotate the post when the anchor shoe is tightened. The best securement of blades to the post in the case of structural shapes, such as L-beam for the former and I-beam for the latter, is obtained where the narrow edges of both are in contact. This results in four point contacts of each blade with the post and a greatly concentrated pressure therebetween.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an anchor shoe device of sheet metal construction which guides 21 pair of L-beam blades for best driving angle and positions each for clamping in edge-to-edge contact with an I-beam post.
Another object of this invention is to provide a twopiece clamp anchor shoe for securing crossed pairs of oppositely positioned L-beams to various sizes of an I-beam, the two pieces of the clamp shoe being identical stampings for simplicity and economy of manufacture.
Other objects and attendant advantages of this invention will become more readily apparent and understood from the following detailed specification and accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation of an anchored driven post arrangement incorporating the anchor shoe features of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a front view of the post arrangement illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary section, greatly enlarged, taken on line 33 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 i an exploded perspective view of an anchor shoe incorporating features of this invention; and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the anchor shoe assembly of FIG. 3.
Referring now to the details of the drawings, there is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an I-beam metallic line post for supporting a fence 12 of metal mesh fabric or the like.
The post 10 is driven into the ground 14 and rigidly held in position by a pair of pointed structural L-shaped blades or stake-s 16 and 18 which are driven into the ground at a right angle to each other with each bearing respectively against opposite open sides of the post 10.
A pair of pressed steel anchor shoes 20 are provided to encompass and clamp the pair of stakes 16 and 18 to the post 10 and to aid in guiding them into the earth 14 at the best relative angle and attitude for good footing and post contact.
It is to be noted that although the assembly of the anchor shoes 20 is illustrated in conjunction with holding fence post structure, the invention can readily be adapted 39 1 Patented July 20, 1965 to holding other types of posts driven at any angle to the vertical.
Each anchor shoe 20, shown in detail in FIG. 4, is folded up from a flat steel stamping so as to provide a channel shaped structure having a fiat web 22 and parallel extending sides 24 and 25. Both sides 24 and 25 are edge-serrated, as will be related, in a pattern which is the same for both but reversed end-for-end with respect to each other.
An obtuse V-notch 26 with its vertex extending to the flat web 22 i located off-center of each of the sides 24 and 25 and extends somewhat into the end thereof. Near the other end of each side 24 and 25 and opening toward the V-notch 26, there is located a shallow right angle notch 28 oriented squarely with the web 22.
A rectangular aperture 30 is punched near one end of web 20 to receive the head of a carriage bolt 32. A round hole 34 is located near the other end of the web 26 for the shank of another bolt 32.
As best shown in FIG. 3, when the pair of anchored shoes 20 are assembled on opposite sides of the post 10 and while the nuts 36 are sung but not firmly tightened, it is easy to insert the stakes 16 and 18 and to drive them as guided by the V-notches 26 at the correct angle and attitude as shown in FIG. 5.
The right angle notches 28 provide clearance for the four corners of the post It). Clamping contact occurs at eight vertically staggered points comprising the edges of the stakes l6 and 18 with the post corners. This is true for different sizes of posts 1% it being necessary only to tighten the bolts 32 accordingly for a firm joint assembly.
Obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is, therefore, to be understood that Within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
