Improvements in Locking Angle Iron Fencing, Tree Guards,
Hurdles, Gates, and other kinds of Manufactured Angle Iron
Materials.
ISRAEL PRICE of Number One, Franchise Street, Blakenhall, Wolverhampton,
in the County of Stafford, Fencing Fixer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
I take a piece of angle iron, 5. feet long, cutting the corner off each side, thereby
making it sharp pointed, and also cut it, 3 inches from the bottom. I then make
another cut of an inch above the previous cut. These two cuts are sunk into
the angle iron, of an inch deep. The distance between the top cut and the level of
the bottom of the "bar," is, 3 inches, and 176 of an inch. I then give the "bar," a
twist, of a of an inch that is the 6 of an inch, and also, the 3. inches, which
is twisted.
66
There being, 9. feet of fencing, in a "panel of fencing," it takes 18. upright
angle iron bars," made as above described to each "panel of fencing."
1 then take another piece of "angle iron" 5 feet long, cutting the corners off
each side thereby making it sharp pointed. I then cut it, 3. inches from the bottom,
and 6. inches from the top, I then make another cut, 16 of an inch below the
previous, 6 inch cut, then twisting the 6. inches, and 16. of an inch, also the 3. inches,
and 16. of an inch, thus putting the middle part of the fence at of an inch out of
its position. It takes 3. of the last described angle bars cut top and bottom, to
each panel of fencing, making together with the before mentioned, 18. angle bars,
twenty one angle bars, to a "panel of fencing." An "horizontal bar," 9. feet long,
12. inches wide, and, g. of an inch thick, in which is punched, 21. holes,-18. of the
said holes being in the shape of a "V," and the other, 3. are in the shape of the
letter "L" or at of an inch twist. These 3. particular holes are placed as follows,
namely; the third hole from each end of "horizontal bar," and the middle hole,
being the eleventh hole from each end of bar. Another horizontal bar, 9. feet long,
14 inches wide, and, of an inch thick, is punched with twenty one holes, in the
shape of the letter "L," this being the bottom bar of the "fencing." The "fence,"
is fixed as follows, viz. :-The top and bottom "horizontal bars," are fastened on
to "standards," by nuts and bolts, also, 3. legs being supplied to carry weight of
"feucing," when put together. Then taking the 3. upright angle iron bars, shoving
the top parts thereof through the, 3 holes in the top horizontal bar, bringing the lower
ends of the angle iron bars, down into the holes in the bottom "horizontal bar," thus
making a frame. Then taking a "wrench" which has a hole therein shaped like
the holes in the angle iron bars, and placing this "tool," on the top 6. inches of the
"iron angle bars," giving each one a twist, thus fixing them in their proper
positions, also doing the bottom parts of the "angle iron bars," in like manner.
The, 18. angle iron bars, are simply placed through the holes in the horizontal bars,
and locked at the bottom, thus the 76 of an inch previously mentioned, as filling the
holes up, being a of an inch out of position, and locking, prevents fencing being
moved in any way, consequently, enabling it to remain in rection and position
considerably longer than any other kind of fencing at present in use.
advantages of this "fencing" are ;-that it requires no "rivetting," neither nuts or
bolts to hold the vertical bars, together. This "fencing" can be sent away in
bundles, and is most convenient for export.
