FENCE-POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 366,578, dated July 12, 1887.
Application filed April 14, 1F87. I Serial No. J3/LPM. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, WILLIAM GEProRD, a citizen ofthe United States of A merica, residing at Vest Salem, in the county of V-ayne and State ot' Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts; 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures ot' reference marked thereon, which form a part of'this specilication.
My invention relates toeertain new and usct'ul improvements in fence-posts; and it consists in the construction and combination of' the parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and specifically pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which illusA trate my invention, Figure l is a vertical section of a fence post and support constructed in accordance with myimprovement, and Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the base or postsupport.
A refers to the post proper, which is made of pipe, which is formed of suitable material, as clay or metal, and to said pipe or tube is attached by bolts a a, which pass through suitable perforations therein, a vertical strip, A', of wood,.which is provided at intervals with eyebolts a', to which wires can be secured. Instead of eyebolts, planks may be secured to this wooden strip A by nails.
B refers to the base, which is preferably made of iron, and consists of a circular upwardly-projeeting portion, b, which is formed integral with the biturcated portion beneath the same. The lower portion ofthis base, adjacent to the projecting portion b, has a horizontal portion, G, from which depend arms d, said arms being parallel with eachother. The lower portions of these arms are provided with bolt-holes, through which pass a bolt, e, which serves to retain the anchor-plates D in place.
These anchor plates D consist of strips of wood, which are recessed, as shown, so as to extend above the lower edge otl the transverse portion C, aud when the bolt is inserted bcneath these anchor-plates they will be held iirmly in position.
In constructing` the fence the anchor-plates are iirst secured to the base plate by the bolt e, and a hole is dug in the ground of suiiicient depth, and the earth is packed firmly around the anchor-plates D and the base B to a line with the upper edge ofthe horizontal portion C. The post A is then slipped over the projecting portion b, which will serve to hold the same securely in a vertical position, and the earth is then placed around the base of the post.
By the construction hereinbcfore described I provide a means for holding the post securely in a vertical position, and which will permit the removal ot' said post when desired.
I. In combination with a tubular fencepost, the metallic base piece or support having an upwardly-projecting portion, b, and transverse portion C, which forms shoulders adjacent to the upwardly-projceting portion, and depending portions d, with boltholes at their lower ends, and anchor-plates D, having their upper edges recessed, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination, substantially as de scribed, ol' the bifurcated base provided with an upwardly-projecting teuou, the anchor secured to the legs of the base, and a fence-post provided at its lower end with a socket constructed to Fit snugly upon the tenori of thc base.
In testimony whereof I aftix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
IVILLIAM GEPFORD.
