"
I take a piece of iron, 5 inches long, 28 inches wide, and, of an inch thick,
turning up both edges thereof, of an inch, forming a "groove," 18 inches wide.
In the centre of "groove" is a hole, of an inch wide, and 1g, inches long; I then
take another piece of iron, 5 inches long, 14 inches wide, and, a of an inch thick,
forming it into a staple hole," of an inch wide, 18 inches long, welding the same
to the back of the before mentioned piece of iron, immediately over the centre hole
therein. Through the centre of the staple hole, are bored two holes, of an inch
in diameter. In the "grooved plate are bored, two holes, of an inch in
diameter, and one inch from end of plate. Two "flat horizontal bars," 9 feet long,
1inches wide, and of an inch thick. In the end of each bar is a staple hole, one
are fitted to each
inch long, and an inch wide. Through these "staple holes
bar a bolt, the said bolts running also through the of an inch hole in the
grooved plate," being fastened by nuts to keep the bolts stationary, thus allowing
the bars to move backwards and forwards without leaving the " groove." These
"flat horizontal bars" are for the purpose of holding together "upright bars," in
metallic fencing." The "sliding joint" is fixed as follows. An iron standard with
of an inch hole therein, the said hole being, 8 inches from the top of the standard,
is fastened into the ground, and the "sliding joint," is placed upon it by simply
pushing it down over the head of the standard, by means of the "staple hole," and
is there held stationary by a bolt running through the holes in the "staple hole,"
and the hole in the head of the standard, the said bolt being fastened by a nut.
The "sliding joint" is for the purpose of allowing all kinds of metallic fencing" to
contract and expand, through the heat and cold, thus preventing "iron gates," from
getting "jammed" and the "fencing" being misshapen.

This "sliding joint," is made in different sizes according to the size and strength
of the "gates" and "fencing," to which they are applied.

ISRAEL PRICE, Number, One, Franchise Street Blakeuhall, Wolverhampton in
the County of Stafford, Fencing Fixer, late of 18, Cobden Street, Dudley Road
Wolverhampton, aforesaid, 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 iron, 5, inches long, 28, inches wide, and of an inch thick,
turning up both edges thereof, of an inch, forming a groove," 18 inches wide.
In the centre of "groove" is a hole, of an inch wide, and 18 inches long. I then
take another piece of iron, 5 inches long, 14, inches wide, and at of an inch thick,
forming it into a socket," of an inch wide, 18 inches long, welding the same to
the back of the before named "grooved" piece of iron, immediately over the centre

hole therein. Through the centre of the "socket," are bored two holes, , of an
inch in diameter. In the "grooved" plate are bored two holes of an inch in
diameter, and one inch from each end of plate. Two flat "horizontal bars 9 feet
long, 1 inches wide, and of an inch thick. In the end of each bar is a "slot hole,"
one inch long, and an inch wide. Through these "slot holes" are fitted to each
bar, a r
bolt," the said bolts running also through the of an inch holes in the
"grooved plate," being fastened by nuts, to keep the bolts, stationary, and a
washer," of an inch thick, 7 of an inch long, and an inch in diameter, being
placed underneath the head of each bolt, between the "horizontal bar," and the
joint," thus allowing the bolts to be screwed tightly, at the same time allowing
the bars to move backwards and forwards without leaving the "groove." These
flat horizontal bars are for the purpose of holding together "upright bars," in
metallic fencing. The "sliding joint" is fixed as follows: An iron "standard"
with, of an inch hole therein; the said hole being 8 inches from the top of the
standard, is fastened into the ground, and the "sliding joint" is placed upon it by
simply pushing it down over the head of the standard, by means of the "socket
hole," and is there held stationary by a bolt running through the holes in the
socket hole," and the hole in the head of the standard, the said bolt being fastened
by a nut.
