B. T. HOSHALL. FENCE.
Patented Deo. '7, 1897 w H m llniiTnn STATES PATENT @Trina BENNETT T. HOSI-IALL, OF SHAMBURG, MARYLAND.
FENCE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 595,173, dated December 7, 1897.
Application led April 2S, 1897. Serial No. 633,467. (No model.)
T0 @ZZ whom, 'it 711107/ concern.-
Be it known that I, BENNETT T. HosHALL, residing at Shamburg, in the county of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fences, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improvement in fences; and it consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, Figure l is a side view of a section of fence constructed accordingto my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail view illustrating the wiring at one of the end posts. Fig. 3 is a detail view illustrating the Wiring of one of the intermediate posts, and Figs. 4 and 5 show somewhat diiferent constructions by which the loops for securing the rails to the posts are interlocked.
My fence is shown as composed of the posts A, the rails B, the riders C, and the stakes D, together with the wire locks by which the said parts are held together in the manner more fully described hereinafter.
It will be understood that the fence may be adapted to turn hogs, dro., by using four, iive, siX, or seven rails, as necessary, or for horses and cattle a suitable number of rails may be employed, the number of rails being varied to suit the particular purposes for which the fence is designed.
The posts are sunk in the ground and the rails are lapped thereagainst and secured by means of wire locks. On the end posts the locks E are single loops passed around the post and diagonally across and around the ends of the rails, holding such rails firmly to the post. In this construction the several locks may be clamped to the posts by means of nails or staples, or, if desired, openin gs may be formed through the posts for the passage of the said loops to prevent them from slipping down. On the intermediate posts such expedients are only necessary in connection with the lower loops, the ends of the rails above being all supported from said lower loop, as will be understood from Fig. 3. The
stakes are crossed above the top rail and receive the riders, such riders being clamped in place and the stakes being held at their crossin g to the top loop of the post by means of a Wire lock F, passed through the top postloop, thence around both stakes below the rider and around the rider, serving to hold the stakes and rider firmly together and to the post.
In practice I extend the stakes at their upper ends in order that their lower ends, which are driven in the ground, may, when rotted ott', be driven farther in, the stakes slipping through the wire lock F without affecting the leverage and tying of said stakes to the posts, as desired. In this connection it may be stated that the stakes are held together a short dist-ance above the ground by means of stays G, which embrace the stakes and are interlocked with some one of the rail-scourn ing loops which encircle the post. It is manifest that this may be effected by passing one or both lengths of the stay G through such loop, and I desire it understood that the interlocking may be effected with any one of the loops on the post, the stay being set higher or lower, as may be desired. These stays are held to their respective stakes, it may be, by notching the stakes and seating the stays in said notches, as shown, or staples or nails or other securing means may be used for such purpose. This is important, as by it the stakes when driven farther into the ground tend to carry the posts down with them, and so tighten up the entire panel of the fence.
At the intermediate posts the rails are lapped thereagainst one above the other and are secured thereto in pairs, the Wire locks for such purpose being passed around the post at 7L, passing over each of such rails near their extremities at 7L', thence under the other rails of the pair at h2, and secured as best shown in Fig. 3. These several locks II are interloeked by one loop being passed through the other, as shown in Fig. 3, so the entire'chain of loops from top to bottom of the posts is stayed firmly together, holding the several rails in contact with the post and in connection with each other, as is desired.
In Figs. 4 and 5 I show a somewhat different construction of loop. In Fig. 4 the rails are lapped upon each other at their ends, such ends being plain, while in Fig. 5 the ends of the rails are mortised and matched together at I. In these constructions the wire ties J IOO are looped around the post, one loop being passed first around the post and then along the outer sides of the rails it secures, the next loop Jbeing passed around the post and thence through the first loop and along the outer sides of the rails it secures, and the succeeding loops are similarly disposed7 the end loop be'- ing tied to the post as shown at J or in other suitable manner, as may be desired.
It Will be understood that the center posts and stakes are designed to be sledged into the ground; also, that the manner of leveraging all rails and stakes and riders on the fence is such that the cross-stake can be driven down Without loosening any Wires or disturbing the fence in any particular, which permits the ready repair of the fence when the stakes are rotted oft in the ground, such operation sim-` ply requiring the sledging of the stakes to set them deeper in the ground, as Will be readily understood.
Where desired, the fence may be used without the stakes by employing the double loops shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In afence the combination of the post, the rails of the adjacent panels lapping at their ends against said post, and the Wire ties passing over each of such rails near their extremities, thence under the other rail of the pair and having a portion passed around the post, substantially as described.
