."Be it knownthat'I, HENRY J. CULI", ot" Goshen, in the connty'oi Elkhart, and 'State of Indiano, have invented a new and useful Improvemgnt in Fences; and I do hereby' declare that 4the -following isa full, clear,

and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,` forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in fences, and consists 'in attaching the panels together by a pirL -passing through the centre ol their overlapped ends,.in combination with a series of crossed stakes passing4 between two of Vthe bars of reach panel, with-their lower ends entering the ground on opposite sides of thepanel,

' and their upper 'portions jamming hardagainst'the upper sideoi the lower and the`nnder side of .the upper oi the two bars betweenfwheh''they pass. .'By' this construction the use of fence-posts is avoided, as the pins serve fQcul the, Hlelsgflllnith @95ml siakealxo dmlLLT-them ina vertical position, and prevent their lateral movement.. i c

In they drawings- Fgure 1 is a front, and l Y l Figure 2 atop view or planet'I my improved fence'. Similar letters of reference indieate .eorresponding parts.

A A are thebars 'or rails, undB B the uprights, secured togetherin any'lsutableV manner, and forming the I fence-panels.' C C C are sleepers or blocks supporting the panels pbove the ground.

The ends of the panels are overlapped, each in such a manner as' to permit the passage of alpin, ,th-rough the uprights B B', at about the centre of their length. Theuprights B are upon opposite sides ofthe panels,l

so that they cannot be brought together when said panels are overlapped.- Thisoonstruetion enablesw the rails A to approximate'nearer a right line than would otherwiserbe the oase. p

The panels are held in an upright positiongand prevented from moving laterally bythe crossed stakes DD,-

whieh'pass between two of the bars or rails A A, o u opposite sides thereof, and have their lower ends driven i firmly into the ground. Their upp'er ends jam hard against the upper side of the lower and the under sideof the upper of the two bars A between which they pass. I

In ascendingor descending ahill, .the -pancls turn readily upon thelpins-a, and additional braces or rails arc not required.. y Y

The advantages of my invention consist in its simplicity and the economy 'of construction, p

Having described my invention, what I claim-as new, 'and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The panels A, hung upon the pin a, in combnation'with the crossed stakes D D, whereby the lateral movement of said panels is' prevented, as herein shown and described.
