       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0005]     The present invention relates to construction of a frame  28  to join two or more post, pipe, rods or similar items  46 C into a super strong durable post  80 . The Frame  28  makes it easy to attach items to the Frame and exposes individual post  46 C for easy attachment of items to them. This Compound Post  80  can be used in the place of any post of any material for enclosure fences, building support post, power poles, light support, observation towers, barricades, and antenna.  
         [0006]     Compound Post  80  will have many possible uses and variants to describe even the ones already mention would be extensive. Descriptions, design, use and installation describe here will be for enclosure, exclusion fences. Fence T-post  46 C will represent all of the elongated items possible for use in horizontal or vertical positions.  
         [0007]     The present invention relates to fence post construction  80 , and more particularly to a T-post  46 C fencing unit. Another aspect of the present invention is a lateral bracing arrangement or assemblage that may be used for a comer fence assembly utilizing at least two T-post  46 C fencing units described herein. The present invention further relates to a method for forming a braced fencing arrangement, a rail fence assembly, a puzzle method, and a post extender method.  
         [0008]     Fencing patents have been numerous for over a 100 years proving that a need for improved fencing is important. The T-post  46 C and barbwire have became the predominate choice. The T-post  46 C alone is lacking in strength and stability for building a long life fence. The compound post  80  presented here has strength in all directions and is easily braced in all directions if so desired. The Compound Post  80  is very serviceable when made of readily available T-post  46 C. I have personal experience of T-post  46 C still in use after 50 years. Wooden post and even steel pipe rarely last this long, and both may contain hazards material.  
         [0009]     U.S. Pat. No. 6,536,745 issued to Roark, Harold Dean on Mar. 25, 2003 relates the fencing problems very well. It has a post and brace design that does brace in the line of the fence. This Compound Post  80  does not retain the weak points of a single T-post the way his patent does. The Compound Post  80  has a untied strength in all directions and has fewer and less expensive parts, it is more securely lock together for long term use and abuse.  
         [0010]     U.S. Pat. No. 0,066,995A1 issued to Collins,Charles R. on Apr. 10, 2003 is like all previous designs, braced in the line of fences, weak to ninety degree pressure, complicated to build and assemble. The Compound Post  80  has the strength of multiple T-post  46 C and with compound frame of choice can be assembled with readily available materials.  
         [0011]     U.S. Pat. No. 6,443,433B1 issued to Auldridge, Douglas on Sep. 3, 2002 has a capable way of making a light duty rail fences that retains the weakness of the single T-post except in the direction the fence runs. The Compound Post  80  has the lateral strength and can be assembled with any of several styles of Compound Frame  28 .  
         [0012]     U.S. Pat. No. 5,395,093 issued to Chrisman, Lawrence C. on Mar. 7, 1995 has a patent for a T-post height extender but is limited to a single T-post and the weakness inherit. The Presented Compound Frames  28  can be made into a extender by adding more T-post  46 C positions with unlimited horizontal length and height limited by stability only.  
         [0013]     U.S. Pat. No. 3,119,471 issued to Turner B. R. on Jan. 28, 1964 has a tower design that has to be pre-welded post to braces. The presented Compound Frame  28  can be assembled in the field making shipping of materials more compact. T-post and cement reinforcements bar  46 C are being produced in recycle steel foundries wide spread in the US.  
         [0014]     U.S. Pat. No. 826,996 issued to Cooke, C. C. on Jul. 24, 1906 has a telegraph pole design, but is more complicated, requires more parts and is more difficult to assemble than the Compound Frame  28  assemble being presented.  
         [0015]     U.S. Pat. No. 6,000,682 issued to Lechtenbohmer, Hans Norbert on Dec. 14, 1999 has a patent with mulitiple rods for a compound fence post but appears to be designed for wood plank fence only and is extremly complicated and costly.  
         [0016]     U.S. Pat. No. 6,585,234 issued to Berto; Joseph J. Jul. 1, 2003 has a device attaching too a T-post  46 C. Berto&#39;s patent holds pvc  46 C and wire. The Post Frame  28 - 80  though different will do all that Berto&#39;s does. The Compound Post Union Frame  28 - 80  will also have bracing capabilities and strength in all directions not provided with his. The Compound Post Union Frame  28 - 80  will also be a height extender  44 E if needed.  
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0017]     The Compound Post  80  makes possible an all metal fence of uniform appearance. Said fence can be made that will have minimal damage by fire. Compound Posts  80  are strong for force pull points and where fence line changes direction. The Compound Post  80  is strong in all directions, creating a more lean proof fence. Gates, barbwire and other items attach easily. Digging post-holes is not required and firming time for stress post is eliminated. The material to build is readily available. Arsenic treated wooden post have been found to be dangerous. Wooden post often rot or burn. Pipe is expensive and used pipe often have contaminates. Rail fences with Compound Post Union Frame  28  can have a rail at each Frame  28  level made of T-post, Pvc Pipe, cement reinforcement rod or other items  46 C. The Compound Post  80  with top Compound Post Union Frame  28  having additional post positions  44 E can be extended. The round Frame  62 - 80  can form hunting or observation towers 80 , and other revolving items, such as lights. Compound Post Union Frame  62 - 80  can be fitted with one or several  360  degree gates for livestock work. The Compound Post Union Frame  62 - 80  is a good design for use with antennas. Materials, size, and shape of both Frame  28  and connected items  46 C may be varied for any reason.

         [0097]     The object of this invention (Compound Post Union Frame  28 ) is to have a means to securely fasten items (post, pipe, rods or tubing) together to add or multiply their strength in a single Post  80 .  
         [0098]     The Compound Post Union Frame  28   FIGS. 2 through 9  can be made in several shapes and sizes for a variety of uses, price and strength requirements. The Post Union Frame  28  can be made with different production methods. The single channel bar  72 , two channel bars  74 - 72  joined to form a capital T, three channel bars  76 - 72  joined to form a capital I, and four channel bars  78 - 72  joined concave side out and end to end to form a square or rectangle  78 - 72 , may be the most versatile and least expensive. Square Post Union Frame  54 - 28  of flat steel plate  48  trapezoid  60 - 28  of flat steel plate  48  and round  62 - 28  of flat steel plate  48 , have been made and tested. The rectangle not shown would be the same as the square  52 , 54 , 56  and  58  with added length between the sides with two cutouts  44  near the comers for small post and the side with none. The other two sides each have one cutout  44  near the comer next too the side with none. This square pattern and the round pattern of evenly spaced cutouts  44  when increased in number forms the extension Post Union Frame  28 - 44 E  FIG. 6D . All Post Frames  28  have cutouts  44  and holes  30  in a pattern for attaching items such as T-Post  46 C. The pattern depends on the items to be attached and the clamp  32  used.  
         [0099]     The  72  through  78  frames  28  may not have holes  30  for U bolt clamps  46 A to attach cross braces  46 C, gates or other items all of the others may need them. The U-bolt, bracket and nuts  46 A embrace the T-post  46 C, gate connector or other items to the channel bar  72  itself. The single flat plate  48  frame  52  is not as strong as the double plate  54 , 56 , 58 , 60 ,  62  or the channel bar  72  models.

         [0105]     MAKING THE PRESS CUT FORM OF COMPOUND POST UNION FRAME  58 - 28   FIG. 4  Press cut two 3 mm-one eight inch steel plates  48  approximately 21 cm-eight inches square, have four cutouts  44  approximately 20 mm-three fourth inch deep approximately 5 mm-three sixteen inch wide to accept the unnodules side of T-post  46 C. Two of these cut outs  44  are on one side approximately 38 mm-one and one half inch from the comers. The opposite side does not have cutouts  44 . The adjoining sides each have a cutout  44  approximately 38 mm-one and one half inch from the far comer of the side with two. The side with two cutouts  44  has centered on the left cutout  44  and position so that the uncut base is 13 mm-one half inch farther from the edge than the depth of the cutout  44  are two rectangular bottle shaped partial cutouts  34 - 50 E. The partial cutouts  34 - 50 E are approximately 25 mm-one inch wide and 75 mm-three inches long. The cut end of the cutout  34 - 50 E is made to have a protrusion in the middle that is 13 mm-one half inch by 13 mm-one half inch. The diagonal comer has the same cutouts  34 - 50 E. The right comer on the side with two cutouts  44  have centered on them and 13 mm-one half inch farther from the edge, two 13 mm-one half inch by 3 mm-one eight inch cutouts  38  that are parallel to the side. The left diagonal comer has the same. The Post Frame  28  to be made for brace post  46 C will have four holes  30  drilled in right comer farther from the edge than the cutouts  38 . The cutouts  38  and  34  will serve as connectors  50 E for the two plates  48  and have in the center of the rectangle part a hole  32  to receive one side of the U-bolt clamp  46 A with nuts only.  
         [0106]     Holding the two plates  48 - 58  in a side by side position so that they are identical with bottle shaped connector  50 E bent up, turn as closing a book. The top  40  of bottle shaped connectors  34 - 50 E go into cutouts  38  and are bent to lock the two plates  48 - 58  to together. This press and cut design can be used on all Post Frames. The rectangle Post Frame  28  not shown is identical though extended to all square models and same construction apply.  
         [0107]     MAKING THE COMPOUND POST UNION FRAME  56 - 28   FIG. 3 . The Post Frame  56  is made with double plates  48  of any shape. The cutout  44  pattern is the same as those used on other Post Frames  28  of the same shape. The connect rod  50 A is welded to the plate  48  to establish desired distance between plates  48  centered on the cutout  44 . The bolt  50 A or connector  50 E can be used in the same method. Assembly requires a U-bolt, nuts  46 A, and bracket  46 B to embrace connector rod  50 A or E and T-post  46 C in cutouts  44 .  
         [0108]     MAKING THE ROUND COMPOUND POST UNION FRAME  62 - 28   FIG. 7  The Post Frame  62  is made of two round plates  48  size and number of post  46  can vary for use. Description will be for a 30 cm-one foot diameter circle plate  28  with six evenly spaced cutouts  44  around outer edge. The Post Frame  62  may have drilled U-bolt holes  30  if braces are to be attached. The Post Frame  62  will have a bolt hole  64 A drilled in the center in both plates  28  to accept a bolt  64 B. Post Frame  62  can be made using  50 A 1  and  2  B,C or E as connectors centered on cutouts  44 . Post Frame  62 - 80  when used as a hunting or observation stand would have frames  62  at spaced points chosen and one at the top of the tower for a revolving seat. Near the top of the tower  80  or attached to the revolving seat would be a standing platform with camouflage cover. Post Frame  62 - 80  when used as a 360 degree gate post can mount several gates to be used in a livestock circular pen for livestock to be loaded, medicated or separated. The Post Frame  62 - 80  can be used for entrances where the gate needs to open in either direction and swing back until something other than the post  80  itself stops the gate.  
         [0109]     ASSEMBLY: Post Frame  62  is similar to all other Post Frames  28 . The frame forms a channel with a U-bolt  46 A exerting pressure in the middle area of the channel to lock items to Post Frame  28 . Post Frames  62  for 360 degree revolving gate requires the addition of a track  66 A to encircle Post Frame  62  on a lower level frame  62  and is attached by straps  66 B welded on the track  66 A, to the U-bolts  46 A holding T-post  46 C as part of Post Frame  62 - 80 . The gate on the bottom will have one end of a yoke  68  shaped attachment in the place of the normal hinge assembly. The yoke  68  may have to be a double yoke  68  for gates used in heavy stress. The yoke  68  may have a channel configuration at the ends of the forks of yoke  68  to prevent the gate being lifted on the non hinge end and a revolving roller, wheel  68 A device to carry the weight of the gate. The wheel would be mounted on a bolt or shaft  68 B that also adjust forks of yoke  68  to track  66 A. The gate will have one end of a arm  70  attached to the hinge end ,top of the gate. The other end with a hole in it will curve to align with a large bolt  64 B in the hole  64 A in the center of Post Frame  62 - 80  at the top of post  80 . The bolt  64 B end of  70  may need to vary in shape on each when used with additional gates to allow for short overlapping moves during operation. The yoke  68  on low attachments does not have this circumstance.  
         [0110]     MAKING THE TRAPEZOID  60  COMPOUND POST UNION FRAME  FIG. 8  This is a description of the three post  46 C trapezoid  60  Post Frame.

The not described models will be created when additional channel bar  72  are connected.  
         [0113]     A basic two rod or post  46 C model would only require 15 cm-six inches of bar or less when using only ends and would have cutout  44  38 mm-one and one half inch from each end, and centered on each end. The holes  32  for T-post  46 C clamps  46 A attachment will be in the third side centered on the cutouts  44 . This pattern has unlimited possible designs for post  46 C and channel bar additions in other direction. Channel bar Post Frame  72 - 28  can be joined to a Post Frame  72  by positioning end to end, along the flat side or the narrow channel end. The connection can be made by welding or by cutouts  38  and protrusion  40  of the channel bar.  
         [0114]     The Post Frame  72 - 28   FIG. 6A  is a length of channel bar with cutouts on both channel sides in matching pairs. An optional pair of cutouts  44  can be made in the ends. The end post  46 C connection can be connected by reversing the U-bolt  46 A connection from other Post Frame  28 . A single hole  32  in the middle of channel bottom with a U-bolt  46 A inserted through and out to embrace a T-post  46 C and using a bracket  46 B and nuts to complete and secure the embrace.  
         [0115]     Post Frame  74   FIG. 6B  is made by connecting the end of one Post Frame  72  to the middle of the flat side of another to form a T.  
         [0116]     Post Frame  76   FIG. 6C  is made by connecting one Post Frame  72  by its flat side in the middle to a Post Frame  74  to form a I.  
         [0117]     Compound Post Union Frame  78   FIG. 6D  is made by connecting four Post Frames  72  with channel side out end to end to form a square or rectangle.  FIG. 6D  has Post Frame  78  with extender cutouts  44 E. The Post Frame  78  requires less additional change to become a Post Frame extender model due to brace connection without holes  30  and extra cutout  44  on Fames  72 .
