Description
lintrd gnam @me eww.'
/ Letters Patent No. 90,398, @ted May 25, 1869.
IMPROVEMENT IN TREE-BOXES.
The Schedule referred to in these Letten Patent and making part of the lama.
To all whom t't may concern:
Be it knownthat I, STEPHEN SooTToN, of Richmond, Wayne county, and State of Indiana, have made new anduseful Improvements in Tree-Boxes and I hereby declare the followingto be a full and exact description ofthe same, reference4 being had to the diawings that accompany and forni a part of' these specifications.
The object of my invention is to provide a box or device for the protection and support of young trees, designed not only to secure them from damage by horses or cattle, but also to kee'p them upright, and prevent their being swayed about or broken by the wind.
Figure 1, perspective view.
Figure 2 shows one form of joint or fastening where the two ends of the iron rod, or ring A, that passes through the upright slats B B, come together, and is passed through slot B at G, both ends of said iron rod having been pointed. One end isturned up, and in#- clined in the slot, and the\other endA is turneddown, and clinched into the other side ofthe slot, as shown at C in lig.2, and partially shown at O in lig. l.'
Figure 3 shows another mode of fastening the iron rod A. A lap joint is made by bevelling oi the meeting faces of the rod, so that when lapped together the rod is of the same size there as in other places, and
" can be forced into the same sized hole as the rod passes through in other places. The two meeting faces inv this joint are intended to be notched, or ruffed, like the` face of a file, so that when forced into a hole somewhat smaller than the rod, they will adhere firmly together, and not be easily drawn apart.
Figure 4 shows still another andV more simple plan of uniting the meeting ends of the rod A, in this case -the tivo ends merely butt-ing together, as shown at I) in figs. 1 and 4. This way may answer better where wide slats are used. i
-As a great variety of'forms and styles of wooden slats will be used, some wide and flat, some square, and others round, some one of these joints is calculated to answer for all 'the different styles and patterns.Y
One leading feature of this invention consists in making the holes in the slats B B a little smaller than the iron rod A, and then, by forcing Kthe rod through" the holes, a great degree of rinness and solidity is -given to the nished tree-box. Also, by wetting the joints or joint-holes with'salt water, a rust is produced that tends greatly to cause them to adhere more iirmlyrtogether.
What I claim as' my invention, and desire to secure by Letters'Patent, is i The combination of the slats B B with the iron rod A, formed and secured substantially-as described, and for the purposes herein set forth. l
