ATTACHMENT FOR COTTON-PICKERS SACKS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 9, 1912.
Application filed .Tune 13, 1911. Serial No. 632,989.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS P. REED, a citizen of the United States, residing at VVellston, in the county of Lincoln and State of Oklahoma, have invented a new and useful. Attachment for Cotton-Pickers Sacks, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to an attachment for cotton pickers sacks.
The objectof the present invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive and efiicient device of strong and durable construction, adapted to be readily applied to a cotton pickers sack to facilitate rapid handling of the same when weighing cotton in the field, and capable of enabling a sack to be easily and securely hung on the scales without liability of injuring the sack or the hands of the cotton picker or other person weighing the cotton.
A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character, adapted to remain on a cotton pickers sack during the cotton season without liability of becoming lost, and capable of sustaining the weight of all the cot-ton, which may be placed within an ordinary cotton pickers sack.
With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended; it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawing :Figure 1 is a front elevation of an attachment, constructed in accordance with this invention, and shown applied to a portion of a cotton pickers sack. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional View on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a transverse sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4: is a plan view of the plate. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the loop of the hanger.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawing.
In the accompanying drawing in which is illustrated the preferred embodiment of .the invention, the attachment, which is designed to obviate the necessity of tying knots in a cotton pickers sack 1 or twisting a piece of wire around the same to facilitate the handling of the sack, while weighing the cotton in the field, comprises in its construction a plate 2 and a hanger 3. The plate 2 preferably consists of a rectangular piece of stout sheet metal, having its upper corners f bent inwardly over the front of the plate to form an eye or opening 5 through which passes the hanger 3. The hanger 3 preferably consists of a piece of stout wire, provided at its upper end with an eye or ring 6 to enable it to be readily hung on the cotton scales, and having an approximately U-shaped or hookshaped loop 7 at its lower or inner portion. The eye or ring 6, which is circular, is formed by bending the upper or outer end of the wire into such shape, and the terminal 8 of the wire is coiled around the shank or lower portion of the hanger adjacent to the inner side of the eye or ring.
The plate 2 is provided at its lower portion with a stud 9, having a button head and adapted to have the fabric of the cotton pickers sack placed over it, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 to 3 of the drawing. The fabric of the sack is drawn tightly around the stud by means of the loop or hook 7 of the hanger, which passes around the bottom and embraces the sides of the stud and securely clamps the sack on the same. The bending of the side portions of the upper or outer end of the plate 2 forms a tapering eye, and when the hanger is' drawn outward from the dotted position, illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawing to the position shown in full lines in the said figure, the short side 10 of the hook is carried through the eye or opening 5, and engages with the outer edge of the plate to lock the hanger in such position. The terminal of the side 10 is bent to form a lug 11 which rides against the inner side of one of the bent corners 4 of the plate in the outward movement of the hanger and then automatically snaps over said corner to lock the hook against return movement. The resiliency of the loop or hook of the hanger maintains the lug 11 in engagement with the plate, and effectually prevents the device from becoming accidentally disconnected from the sack after having been properly applied to the same. In order to remove the device, it is necessary to force the short side of the hook or loop 7 inwardly by pressing the lug 11 to permit the lug to pass through the eye or openi'ng5 of the plate. The hanger may then be forced downwardly or inwardly with respect to the plate to disengage the hook or loop 7 from the stud and the fab rics surrounding the same. When the attachment is applied to a cotton pickers sack, the hanger projects beyond the mouth of the same and is adapted to be readily hung on the cotton scales.
The plate and the hanger are designed to be constructed of galvanized metal to avoid rotting the sack, which results when a piece of wire is twisted around the sack to facilitate the weighing of the contents thereof. Also the device is a great advantage over tying knot-s in the sack, as the knots are unreliable and frequently permit the sack after being placed on the scales to fall and cause loss of valuable time.
It will be noted that the diameter of the eye 5 is less than the diameter of the but-ton head, so that when the terminal 11 of the loose side of the loop? is engaged over one of the bent corners 4, the loop is drawn or tightened about the stud and thus accidental separation of the parts from the bag is avoided.
A characteristic feature of this invention is the separate construction of the two parts which form the attachment, and the fact that when said parts are engaged with the bag, they are securely locked and cannot become separated except by the hand of the operator.
Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. An attachment for cotton pickers sacks including a plate having a stud arranged to receive a portion of the fabric of the sack, and a hanger slidably connected with the plate and provided at its outer end with means for suspending it from the cotton pickers scales, said hanger being also ,provided at its inner end with a hook-shaped loop ar'anged to clamp the fabric around the stud by the sliding movement of the hanger, the end of said loop adapted to automatically engage the plate when the loop has reached its clamping position to lock the hanger against return slidable movement.
2. An attachment for cotton pickers sacks including a plate provided with a stud and having an opening, and a hanger slidable through the opening and provided at its outer end with a ring or loop and having a hook at its inner end arranged to clamp a portion of the sack on the stud,
Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents.
said hook being also arranged to extend through the opening and provided with terminal locking means for automatically engaging the plate to lock the hanger against relative movement.
3. An attachment for cotton pickers sacks including a plate provided with a stud and having an opening, and a hanger slidable through the opening and provided at its outer end with means for suspending it from cotton scales, said hanger being provided at its inner end with an approximately U-shaped resilient loop arranged to clamp a portion of a sack on the stud and having one of its sides free and arranged to extend through the opening of the plate and provided with a terminal lug engaging the plate and maintained in such engagement by the resiliency of the loop.
4. An attachment for cotton pickerssacks including a plate provided at its inner end with a stud and having its corners bent inwardly over the plate at one side of the stud to form an eye, said eye being of less diameter than the stud, and a. hanger slidable through the eye and provided at its inner end with an approximately Ushaped loop adapted to clamp a portion of the sack around the stud, one side of the loop being free and arranged to extend through the eye of the plate and having terminal means for engaging the latter to automatically lock the hanger to the plate, said hanger being also provided at its outer portion with means for suspending it from cotton scales, the overhanging corners of the plate preventing the loop separating from the stud except by a longitudinal movement.
An attachment of the class described comprising a plate having a stud projecting from one face of the plate, and a tapered eye provided at one edge of the plate in line with the stud, a hanger separate from the plate and provided at one end with means for suspending the same and at its other end with an open hook-shaped loop to engage with the stud, said loop having sufiicient length to extend through the eye when the loop is in engagement with the stud and having a locking engagement with the end of the plate, said locking engagement being releasable manually but adapted to engage automatically upon the sliding movement of the hanger through the eye.
In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aifixed my signa ture in the presence of two witnesses.
