FENCE-POST.
'IFECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,330, dated June 16, 1885.
(No model.)
To all whom it may concern..-
Be it known that I, VINCENT BRowN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hassard, in the county of Balls and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in FencePosts; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates particularly to that class of posts which is used in connection with wire-fences.
The object of my invention is to produce a cheap and durable post, which will, when placed in the ground, be firmly planted; and to that end myinvention consists of constructions and combinations, all as will hereinafter he described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents an elevation showing the base of the post as flattened; Fig. 2, an elevation taken on the side at right angles to that shown in Fig. 1, the base, however, being shown as conical. Figs. 3 and 4 show modified forms of the anchor, which will hereinafter be more fully described. Fig. 5 is a plan view.
A represents the post; B, the anchors, and C the wire holder or clamp. The post A may be made of any suitable material. The lower part, a, of the post is flattened or made wedgeshaped, and terminates in a wedgeshaped cutter, a, having wings a, which extend beyond the vertical lines of the post proper and prevent the latter from being lifted out of the ground by the frost. The upper part, a of the post is preferably round; but it is obvious that it can be made of any form in cross section. The post is preferably made slightly tapering from the top to the part a of the post immediately above the part a, so that the anchor will meet with no resist ance until it reaches the larger part a, which should be a fraction larger in diameter than the eye in the anchor, so that the latter will be held rigidly in place. The anchors B may be of any desired form, provided that they have a hub with an eye for attachment to the post, and an angular projection having a sharpened point for holding them in the ground.
In Figs. 1 and 2 is shown an anchor, composed of a single piece having a hub, b, 5
which encircles the post, and an angular proj ection, I), the vertical part of which is driven into the ground, the hub serving as a guide. As many of these anchors may be used as desired, and placed at any desired angle to each 6c other.
In Fig. 3 is shown a hub, Z), with eyes If formed therein. The angular projection I) is provided with abent part, 7)", (shown in plan,)
which serves as a pivot for swinging the part 1) into any desired posit-ion before the latter is driven into the ground.
In Fig. 4 is shown a double anchor formed in one piece. This anchor maybe made of cast metal, but is preferably made of wroughtofi' one of the clamps, it can be done without 80 disturbing the others. 1
The operation of setting the post is as follows: The post is placed with its cutter a" upon the ground, and is driven therein. The
cutter a leaves an o)cnin of "reater di- 8 l a a ameter than the post, but very narrow. By making the part of the post immediately above the cutter a of gradually-increasing thickness the opening is gradually widened,
and the earth that this thickened part disg0 places fills up that part of the opening which extends beyond the diameter of the post, thus insuring the complete curving of the wings of the cutter. After the post has been driven into the ground the necessary distance 5 the anchors are dropped over the head of the post and the projections driven into the ground. After the anchors have been placed The wire D is passed the wire-clamps are attached to the post, as jection provided with asharpened point, subset forth.
stantial ly as described.
10 What I claim as new is In testimony whereof I affix my signature The combination, with a post having a cutin presence of two witnesses. 5 ter at its lower end, and tapered from its up- VINCENT BROYVN.
per end to the flattened part, which forms the Witnesses:
