WVILLIAM R. KIN G AN D JOHN W. HIGHFIELD, OF BRIDGEPORT, ILLINOIS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 353,950, dated December 7, 1886.
Application filed September 2, 1886. Serial No. 212,531.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, \VILLIAM R. KING and JOHN W. HIGHFIELD, citizens of the United States, residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Lawrence and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fences, of which the following is a the accompanying drawings.
Our invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in that class of wooden farm-fences generally known as the stakeandrider fence, and it has for its object the product-ion of a cheap and substantial fence that shall beso constructed that it may be easily set up by unskilled labor and will economize in material, as will be presently described.
The invention consists in certain novel feaafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim appended.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a side view of a portion of our improved fence; Fig. 2, a vertical sectional view thereof, and Fig. 3 a detail perspective view of the adjacent ends of the steadying and bracing rails.
In the drawings, the letter A designates the stakes or posts, which rest upon the ground and cross each other a little above the middle of their length, forming an upper and lower crotch or angle, as distinctly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. In the upper crotch formed by the stakes rest the adjacent ends of the upper rails or riders, B, with their ends lapping, as is usual in this class of fences. The rails are securely held in place in the crotch of the stakes by means of wire hoops O, which pass around the upper ends of the stakes, across the ends of the rails, and are twisted so as to bind the parts securely together, as clearly shown. In the lower crotch formed by the stakes are secured the ends of the rectangular horizontal spacing and bracing rails D, the adjacent ends of which overlap each other and are securely held in place up in the crotch by the wire loop E, which passes around the stakes and underneath the endsof the rails. The ends of these rectangular rails that fit up (No model.)
into the notch formed by the stakes have their upper corners on both sides cut away or beveled, as shown at a, so as to fit snugly in the angle formed by the inclined stakes, and also to form shoulders 1), against which the stakes abut. The opposite ends of these rails are also cut away to form shoulders, as shown at c, in order to set under and against the lower end of the adjacent rail, as clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. By means of the Wire loop E, which passes around the stakes and under the ends of thebracing-rails D, the beveled and shouldered ends of the same are securely held up in place in the lower crotch. The object of thus beveling and shouldering the horizontal rails Dis to brace and firmly secure the stakes A the proper distance apart and prevent any lateral movement on their part, to which they would otherwise be subjeet. After the fence has been in use some time and the ends of the bracing-rails should fall or become loose, the wire loop 0 may be given a few more twists by means of a rod or bar, and thus draw the stakes and loops E up close around the ends of the rails.
The horizontal rails of the fence are secured upon the inside of one of the'inclined stakes by means of a wire, F, which is secured to the loop E, and from thence passes down to near the lower end of the said stake, forming along loop, in which the overlapping ends of the rails rest. The upper end of the said wire F is secured to the loop E in such a manner that it will bear against the lower edge of the rail D, and be thereby prevented from being displaced. The loop E, on account of its having to support the rails of the fence, may be made of thicker wire than is used on the other parts of the fence. The binding-wire Fis addition ally strengthened by means of the short wire loop G, which passes between the rails and around the stake and wire F, as shown.
\Ve are aware that it is not new to construct fences with crossed stakes having riders or rails secured in their upper and lower crotches, the ends of the lower rails being beveled to lit up in the crotch, and to secure the horizontal rails to one of the crossed stakes, and therefore do not claim such construction, broadly.
A, horizontal riders B, having their ends over- Having thus described our invention, what wire loops E, passing around the stakes and we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patunder the ends of the rails D, and the horient, is zontal rails of the fence, secured to the stakes I5 Afence consisting by means of the binding-wire F, all substantially as herein set forth.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
