UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIcEo DANIEL B. AYRES, OF BROOKLYN, MICHIGAN.
FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,266, dated September 14, 1886.
Application filed March 25, 1886.` Serial No. 196,405. (No model.)
' to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in the construction of iron fence-posts, which are inexpensive, easily set, and very permanent when set.
The invention consists in the peculiar con-v struction employed, by means of which wroughtiron is used entirely, this being far preferable to the cast-iron usually employed for this purpose.
Figure l shows a section of fence constructed with my improved post. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the post from the rear.
In the accompanying drawings, A represents a bar, ofwrought-iron of a suitable length,
that, when set in the ground, will allow suf cient thereof to Vproject above the surface `for the attachment of the wooden part B of the post, this latter being that portion of the post to which are secured the panels, wires, or other material of which the remainderof the fence is constructed. When set in the ground, the edge of the bar is presented to the front, leaving the greater width of the bar at right an gles to the fence-line to assist against pressure in that direction. The lower end of the bar is turned at right angles, as shown at a, and to this ilange is secured a plate, C, which forms the tip of the post. The widest cross-section of this plate is at right angles to the widest cross-section of the bar A, which has, near its lower end, secured across its front edge the plate D, and a similar plate, E, is similarly secured to the bar A at a point just below the surface of the ground, when the post is set. The plates D and E are for the purpose of preventing the post from being displaced laterally to the line of the fence. the bar A should be allowed to project above the surface ofthe ground to leave room for securing thereto the wooden part B of the post.
In setting this post it is preferable to dig the post-hole sufficiently deep to allow the bar A to be inserted as far as the point a, and then, having plumbed the post, drive the plate C into the solid ground at the bottom of the hole. Then ll up the hole, tampin g the earth solidlyaround the plates D and-E. The wooden prolongation B of the post may be secured to the bar A where the latter projects above the surface in any most desired manner, care being taken to so secure it that the lower end of the wooden part will not touch the ground. The iron part of the post should be coated with asphalt, coal-tar, or other similar material to guard it against rust.
No claim is here made lto the construction shown in the Patent No. 310,800. By my construction I ani enabled to use wrought-iron, which is less expensive and much more durable and less liable to break than cast-iron.
What I claim as my invention is- The fence-post described, consisting of'the wrought-iron bar A, having its lower end bent at right angles, as at a, the plate C, secured to said part a, the plates D E, secured to said bar by angle-irons, as shown, and the Wooden top portion, B, secured to said bar above the plate E, substantially as herein shown and described.
