Improvements in Posts, such as Fencing, Telegraph, Direction, Lamp,
and other similar Posts.
I, JAMES BAZELEY PETTER of Yeovil in the County of Somerset, Ironmonger, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
--
This Invention relates to improvements in posts such as fencing, telegraph,
direction lamp and other similar posts and consists in making such posts of two
straight or taper gouge-shaped iron bars and joined together by eyelets, rivets, or bolts
on their convex sides.
When used as fence posts the horizontal bars or wires may pass through the
eyelets hollow bolts or other suitable holes in the two bars forming the post, or
between them transversely in which latter case either the concave or convex surfaces
of the two bars may be placed opposite.

1 JAMES BAZELEY PETTER of Yeovil in the County of Somerset Ironmonger 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:
This invention relates to improvements in posts such as fencing telegraph
direction lamp and other similar posts and consists in making such posts of two
straight or taper gouge-shaped iron bars and joined together by eyelets rivets or bolts
on their convex or concave sides.
When used as fence posts the horizontal bars or wires may pass through the
eyelets hollow bolts or other suitable holes in the two bars forming the post or between
them transversely in which latter case either the concave or convex surfaces of the two
bars may be placed opposite.
In the drawings annexed Figure 1 shows an elevation of my improved post.
Figure 2 is a sectional plan of Figure 1 in this case the convex sides of the iron
bars or standards are joined back to back by means of bolts eyelets or rivets passed
through the holes a.
Figure 3 is an enlarged view similar to Figure 2 showing a horizontal wire simply
passed through eyes provided for that purpose.
Figure shows a cross sectional view of another form of construction of my
improved post with the concave sides and Figure 5 shows a similar view with the
convex sides of the two bars bb together and secured by means of bolts c and the
horizontal wires (or bars) d passed transversely between the upright concave bars b
(Figure 4) or between the convex bars 6 (Figure 5) and these upright concave or
convex bars or standards may or may not be notched to receive horizontal bars or
wires or otherwise to securely hold same in position by tightening up the bolts c.
The bolts e may be made hollow-or separate holes may be formed in the bars b b
of the post-through which the horizontal wires may be passed or the horizontal wires
may be passed transversely between the convex sides as in Figure 5 or between the
concave sides as in Figure 4 and securely held in position by the tightening up of the
bolts c.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The improved arrangement and constructio of fence posts in which two bars or

page_text: standards (either straight or tapered) and of gouge or circular shape in their cross
section are secured together by means of bolts eyelets or rivets ist with their convex
sides together 2nd with their concave sides together and the horizontal wires or bars
passed through them substantially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore
described.
2. The improved arrangement and construction of fencing telegraph direction lamp
and other similar posts substantially in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore
set forth.
