SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 77 5,518, dated November 22, 1904.
Application iiled March 22, 1904.
To all whom ift may concern:
Be it known that I, EMERY BRULEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at N eillsville, in the county of Clark and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fence-Posts; and I do. 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.
My invention relates to improvements in fence-posts having metallic bases and to the means for inserting said bases in the ground.
The object of my invention is to improve and simplify the construction of devices of this character, and thereby render them more efficient and durable in use and less expensive to produce and erect.
Vith this and other objects in-view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a front or end elevation of my improved fence-post with its base in section. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, the base being also in section. Fig. 3 isahorizontal section taken on the line 3 3 of F ig, l. Fig. 4L is a vertical sectional view through the metallic base and its driving' head or cap, showing the manner in which the baseis inserted into the ground. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the base and its cap detached or separated.
Referring to the drawings by numerals, l denotes the post proper, 2 its metallic base, and 8 a filling of cement, lead, brimstone, or other suitable material, which secures said post in said base. The post lis preferably but not necessarily of .metal and, as shown, is in the form of a metallic bar rectangular in cross-section and formed along one face with a vertical series of angularly-disposed kerfs or slots 4, in which the fencewires 5 are inserted and retained by bending the lips 6, formed by said kerfs or slots, inwardly, so as to bind said fence wires, as shown. The base 2 is a hollow cylindrical metallic body 7, formed with a tapered or pointed lower end 8 to adapt it to readily enter the ground. The base is driven into the ground by the rserai no. 199,448. (Numan.)
blows from a Sledge-hammer or other suitable device, and in order to protect the upper end of the base while this is being done I apply to said end a metal driving head or cap 9, which comprises cylindrical shank l0, adapted to enter the bore 11 of the cylindrical body 7, and a circular head or disk 12 of slightly greater diameter than the outside diameter of the body 7 The blows ofthe hammer are struck upon this head 12 until the base is driven to a suitable depth in the ground, preferably so that the upper end of the portion 7 is ush with the level or surface ofthe ground, and the cap is then removed. The fence-post is then inserted in the bore of the base, with the edges of said post in contact with the interior wall of said base, as
shown in Fig. 3, and the filling 3 of cement or any other desired material is packed in said bore around the lower end of the post to hold it solidly and rigidly in position.
' From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily-understood without requiring a more extended explanation.
Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of lconstruction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The herein-described fence-post, consisting of a base having a solid conical point and a round hollow socket portion above the point, said base adapted to be driven into the ground by means of a driving-head fitted into the socket, a fence-post consisting of a fiat metal bar inserted into the socket, with its edges in contact with the opposite sides of the inner wall of said socket, and the latter being filled with cement upon both sides of the post, es-
sentially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing wit-
