I I Specification of Patent, Application filedlllay 4 1911. Seria1No.624,939.
Hatented Na. 1a, 1912'.
C. SHANNON: residing at Be it known that I, JERRY Springfield, inthe county of State of West Virginia, have invented-new and'useful Improvements in-Woven-Wire Grips, of which the following-is a specification.. '1
My present, invention relates .to improvements in gripsapplicable to woven and other fencing for the or stretching. the same, and it is the primary' fobject f the invention to provide an imi proved grip of this character which is relative y inexpensive applied and locked with facility to .the fencing or structure to be Stretched,- the grip being so constructed that it can obtain and maintain-"a firm hold upon the'woven' wire, and the operations quickly.
To 'these and other ends, the invention ECO-DSiStS 'in' certain improvements, and (3011b. 25 will be hereinafter more fully described,
the novel features being pointed out, par-' binations and arrangements of par'ts,;all as ticularly in the specification. i
In the, accompanying drawing :-Figure l is a perspective View of a woven constructed in accordanc'ewithj'my present invention'; Fig. Zrepresents a side elevation of the grip as viewed from the left iii Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a detail sectional View of one claim at the end of the end of the grip showing one of the-locking wedges and its cotiperative loop Fig. 4 represents a transverse sectional view through the grip showing the action fof one of the locking wedges and its cooperative 10 p; and Fig. 5 shows in perspective the two members of the grip in separated relation.
Similar parts are designated by the same 5 (reference characters in the several views.
In the accompanying drawing, I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, although it will be understood that certain modifications and changes may be made in the details-and in the relative arrangement of the parts. In the present inmg members '1 and 2. These members may .f-appropriate strength and the length of the grip may. be varied to meet the "requireinentsofdifi'erent conditions. In using the hold upon the purpose of tensioning and capable of being efl-lockmgand un-. locking it may be accomplished easilyand.
Wire grip i grip in connection with fencing, the two a.clamping members are placed at opposite by mechanism to be here mafter described, they obtain a firm hold -='up on the fencing. In order to enable the grip to obtain a positive or non-slipping fencing, the operative faces of the two clamping members may be pro- ;vided with strips of metal or suitable material 3 and 4, these strips being arranged in alternating relation and secured to the faces. of the respective members so that when the clamping members are. brought together, the fencing will be bent slightly and, hence, slipping of the fencing between the clamping members is prevented. In usingthe grip for the purpose of stretching fencing or other woven wire, one of the clamping members (the member l in thepresent instance) may be provided with eyes 5 for the attachment of a suitable fencestretching device which, however, forms no part of the present invention.
he present invention providessimple and improved means for effectively forcing together and locking the clamping members mg of grlp may be applied and ing. In the present instance, one of the clamping members is provided with ,a suitable number of loops or their equivalents, and the other clamping member is provided with a correspondin number of Wedges Which, when operate will'force together the clamping members and maintain them in compressed condition until released. In the particular form of mechanism shown, ,"the member lis provided with a set of two loops 6 while-the member 2 carries a corresponding set of locking wedges f. Each loop is preferably composed of a doubled rod of metal,- the longer arm 8 of w nch e2;- tends through theclamping member 1 and is secured adjustably by means of a nut 9 which is threaded upon its end, while. the shorter arm 10 of the loop rests in a bore of the grip' whereby the locking and unlock.-
removedwith facility relatively to the fenc loo .or opening 11 which is formed in the clampthe shortarm 10 of the loop, this spring holdingthe hat 9 against the rear face of the clamping member 1. Each wed "is preferably formed by the tapered or inc ined end of a rod, theseveral rods being suitably connected'to a single or common operating handle or leverjl3, this lever being pivoted on a bolt or other fulcrum 1 which stance, and metal strips or plates 16 may be secured to the outer face of the clamping member 2 to afford suitable-bearings for the respective wedges. The clamping member 2, it is to be understood, is provided with slots or openingsl'? through which the locking loops 6 extend, and when the clamping members are applied to the fencing or other- Woven' wire, these loops project through the clamping member 2 and are in substantial alinement with the wedges. the handle 13 will then serve to move all the wedges into locking engagement with .th'eir'respective loops and the clamping members will" be thereby forced together firmly. =When the operating handle 13 is moved into fully locked position, those portions of the rods behind the wedges will engage the locking loops and the grip cannot be unlocked except by moving the operatinghandle toward unlocked position, or, in other words, the grip will be maintained in locked condition without the necessity of the operator holding the handle. It is to be understood that any suitable number of Operation of locking loops and Wedges may be used, tWQ' being shown'in the present lnstance as an example, and by using a plurality of looking devices which are actuated by a com mon handle, all. portions throughout the length of the rip are forced together. firmly and uniformly so that a positive grip throughout the extent of the wire or fencing is obtained. Y Preferably, the operating liandle is movable in a plane parallel to the plane of vthe gripping faces of the clamping members, as this facilitates the manipulation of the device and avoids breakage of its parts. I claim as my invention v A woven wire grip comprising,in colnbination, a pairof cooperative bars having opposed clamping faces, aloop having a shank extending through one of said bars and having an abutment coiiperative with such bar, said loop also having a parallel shank engaging in a socket in the bar with which said abutment coiiperates,- a spring contained in said socket and coiiperative with the respective shank of the loop to retain'said abutment in engagement with the respective bar, and means cooperative with said loop to force saidbarstogether and clamp the wire between them.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand-in presence of two subscribing witnesses. I JERRY o. SHANNON.
