UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EBENEZER BUTTERIOK, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
FENCE- POST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 430,830, dated June 24, 1890.
Serial No. 268,583. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom, t may concern.-
Be it known that I, EBENEZER BUTTERICK, of Brooklyn, Kings county, in the State of New York, have invented a new and useful Post for Farm and other Fences, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to fence-posts, and has for its object to provide alight and serviceable fence-post which may be secured in place without excavating the ground, and which will be firmly held in upright position.
The invention consists in a fence-post constructed as hereinafter described-an d claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar iigures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure l is a view of a portion of a wire fence with a fence-post constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a view, partly in section, of the fence-post in elevation. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the post and 'fence in Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a plan View, and Fig. 5 a vertical section, of an anchorv Fig. [3 is a plan view, and Fig. 7 a vertical section, of a modified form of base. Fig. S is a plan view, and Fig. 9 a vertical section, of another modified form of base.
ln carrying out this invention I construct the post with a wooden portion 3, preferably tapering to a narrow top, and within a vertical hole or socket in the lower end of the wooden portion 3, I insert a rod l, preferably of tubular form, to render it light. rlhe Socket is made a little smaller than the diameter of the rod l, so that the latter when driven into the socket will be firmly held.
The rod'l may be of suitable length-say about twenty-five inchesand iixed in the socket so as to project about eighteen inches, and thus afford a good hold for the bottom of the post when driven into the ground. In order to hold the post firmly in the ground and render it stable, an anchor 2 is provided, as shown in Figs. l to 5, inclusive, of an invertedbox-shaped form and preferably of metal. The anchor 2 is formed with tapering sides 2, so as to form a sharp edge which will penetrate the ground and allow the anchor to be easily driven into the same. The anchor 2 may be of circular shape, as shown in Fig. 4, partly circular and partly square with apertured top, as shown in the modified form of anchor 22 in Fig. 6, or partly tapering and partly circular, as shown in the modified form of anchor 23 in Fig. S. t
The several anchors referred to are of suitable thickness at their top, and the upper portion of their sides-say about iive-eighths of an inch-are of suitable diameter-say from six to ten inches-and of suitable height-z'. e., from six to ten inches. rlhe top of the anchor is provided with a hole 3', through which extends the rod l, the' top of the anchor abutting against the lower end of the wooden,
As shown in Fig. l, the post has secured thereto a Wire fence 4c, the latter being fastened at its lower edge in any suitable manner to a wooden base-board 6, nailed to the wooden portion 3.', and secured from top to bottom ofthe latter by being clamped between it and a wooden vertical strip 5, nailed thereto. In this way it will be seen that a light and substantial fence-post is provided which will securely support a wire fence, as shown, or other suitable form of felice.
In practice I prefer the form of anchor shown in Fig. 7, as this form has an oval top which sheds water and prevents it from settling in the center around the foot of the post 3 and rotting the post.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
An improved fence-post consisting of a wooden post having a vertical strip attached to the side thereof and adapted to fasten the fence to the post, a vertical socket inits lower end, a rod secured in the socket and proj'ecting from the end of the post, and an invertedbox-shaped anchor having tapering sides and sharp edges and provided with an oval top with an aperture therein, said anchor abutting against the lower end of the post with the rod projecting through it, substantially as described.
