Abstract

The arrangement comprises a fastening device 31 and an engagement means 22, the first wire 101 being clamped between the parts 11, 21 and the second wire 102 being clamped between the first wire 101 and the engagement means 22, the arrangement being formed in such a manner that the first part 11 has the form of a U-formed body for engagement with the second part 21 and for receiving the first wire 101 in the bend of the U, while the second part 21 comprises the engagement means 22 for engagement with the second wire 102; a wedge 31 is intended for being received in (an) aperture(s) 12 in the first part 11 and a corresponding aperture 12A in the second part 21 or intended for engagement with a squeezing zone 128 of the second part. Figures 4, 5 illustrate alternative forms of parts 11, 12. <IMAGE>

Description

WIRE LOCK This invention relates to a wire lock as indicated in the preamble of claim 1.
A wire lock may consist of a U-formed clamp part and a counter part between which a first wire is clamped by means of two nuts. The wire lock furthermore comprises a locking plate which will clamp the second wire between itself and the first wire.
The assembly of the known wire lock with its nuts is a time consuming and complicated affair but its shrtcomings are conspicuous when one wants to unlock it. In the happiest case this is obtained by means of a ratchet spanner or a pneumatic wrench with a long compressed air tube but in more difficult cases one has to use a crowbar, a hammer, a hack saw, a bolt cutter or a right angle grinder. Furthermore the locking plate will most likely be deformed.
The purpose of the invention is to suggest a wire lock devoid of the above mentioned drawbacks. It is characterized by the features of claim 1.
It will appear that this wire lock simplifies and facilitates the manipulation which at the same time will be more safe. The handling time will be reduced and a hammer is all that is needed for both assembling and unlocking the wire lock and the wire and the wire lock can be used more times than in case of the lock of the known art.
The configuration of the wire lock of the invention is more compact than that of the known lock and it will therefore not be deformed.
An advantageous embodiment of the lock is indicated in claim 2.
In the drawings: Fig. 1 is an end view of an embodiment, Fig. 2 is a side view thereof, Fig. 3 is a plan thereof, Fig. 4 is a blank for bending the first part of the wire lock, and Fig. 4A is the second part of the wire lock.
The wire lock shown consists of: - a U-formed first part 11 having an aperture 12 and made by bending the blank , also designated 11, shown in Fig.4, - for receiving therein, a second part 21 having an aperture 12A and an engagement means 22, and - a wedge 31 fitting into the apertures 12 and 12A.
The U-formed first part 11 is intended for receiving a first wire 101 in the bend of the U.
The second part 21 is intended for receiving, in either of the engagement means 22, a second wire 102 between itself and the first wire 101.
In actual use having two wires crossing each other the user will place the first wire 101 in the bend of the U-formed first part 11 and the second part 21 will be placed in the first part in such a way that the engagement means 22 will engage the second wire 102 which will be urged into contact with the first wire 101 and the two parts will be clamped together when the wedge 31 is forced into the apertures 12 and 12A.
The first part 11 shown i Fig. 4 may in lieu of the aperture 12 have two holes which are aligned when the part 11 has been bent to U-form.
The second part 21 shown in Fig. 4A may without change of its function be reduced to the portion beneeth the dash line 3, a squeezing zone 12B being retained, or may be reduced to the second part 21' shown in Fig. 5 which presents an engagement means 22' and a squeezing zone 12B.
A cross element 21", which brings about that the part 21' has T-form when viewed from above in Fig. 5, is for the purpose of positively retaining the part 21' in its position.

Claims (2)

1. A wire lock comprising parts (11,21) for clamping two crossing wires (101,102) by means of a fastening device (31) and an engagement means (22), the first wire (101) being clamped between the parts (11,21) and the second wire (102) being clamped between the first wire (101) and the engagement means (22), the wire lock being formed in such manner that the first part (11) has the shape of a U-formed body for engagement with the second part (21) and for receiving the first wire (101) in the bend of the U, while the second part (21) comprises the engagement means (22) for engagement with the second wire (102), c h a c t e r i z e d by the fact that the fastening device is a wedge (31) intended for being received in an aperture or apertures (12) in the first part (11) and intended for being received in a corresponding aperture (12A) in the second part (21) or intended for engagement with a squeezing zone (12B) of the second part (21).
2. A wire lock according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that the first part (11) has been formed by bending into U-form an O-formed workpiece (Fig.4) surrounding the aperture (12).
