TANK BAND FASTENBR.
Patented Aug. 19, 1913.
ROBERT L. LEWIS, OF BATAVIA, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO CHALLENGE COMPANY, OF
BATAVIA, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.
TANK-BAND FASTENER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Au 19,1913.
Application filed September 17, 1912. Serial No. 720,803.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT L. Lnwis, a citizen of the United States, residing at Batavia, in the county of Kane and the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tank-Band Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to band-fasteners for securing the ends of bands used to hold together tanks, silos, etc., and such that can be readily adjusted to meet the needs of shrinkage or swelling of said tanks.
The main object of the invention is to construct a band-fastener that has a connection with the ends of the bands, without the use of rivets or bolts, such means being very unsatisfactory, as suitable holes are required to be drilled in the bands, furthermore upon a heavy strain on the bands, these riveted connections very frequently break.
My improved tank bandfastener is fornied by upsetting the ends of the bands and inserting these ends into the fastenercasings, then inserting wedge-members in said casings, so that when the coupling-bolts are drawn up, said bands are held through the upset ends thereof contacting with the wedge members, which wedge members in turn are held by the fastener-casings.
In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a horizontal section through a portion of a tank, one of the fasteners being shown in elevation and the other in section longitudinally. Fig. 2 is a view in elevation of the band-fasteners as applied to a tank. Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the wedgemember and one end of a tank band.
The band-fastener consists of two casingmembers 1 and 2, with which the ends of the bands are adapted to be secured. These casings are adapted to have suitable connections with which to draw the casings together, thus tightening the band about the tank, having here shown the casings formed with outstanding heads l having the reinforcing side-flanges 5, said heads each having an opening 6, through which extends the bolt 7 having screw-nuts 8, which bear against the heads 4; and which when turned, either tighten or loosen the bands about the tank. The opposite ends of the casings h ave formed housings 9, open at their longitudinal ends 10 and 11, the top of the casings being formed at an angle to the base as is shown in Fig. 1.
The band 12 may be of any suitable shape, having here shown a band of a substantially semi-circular shape, having a. flat side which rests next to the tank, the band being upset at its end as at 13 so as to allow said upset end to enter opening 10.
The wedge-member 14lis shaped so as to have one face 15 conform to the shape of the band 12 and rest thereupon, the same face having a depression 16 adapted to receive the upset portion 13, and the opposite side of the wedge being beveled at an angle coincident with that of the housing 9.
In assembling or mounting the fastener, a single casing is t2 ken, the upset end 13 of a band inserted in the opening 10, far enough to allow the wedge 1.4L to he slipped over it through the opposite opening 11, whereupon pulling the casing taut with the band, said band and wedge will assume the position shown in Fig. 1, which is their operative holding position. A bolt and nut is inserted in the head 4-.- A second casing is taken, se cured to said band, and the casing and its band is similarly connected to the opposite end of the bolt and the nuts then drawn up thereby tightening the band as much as is required.
It will readily be seen that a tank bandfastener of this construction can be easily adjusted and in the case of the breakage of a band, a new one can be easily inserted, all there being required is to upset the end of the band in the form already described.
I claim as my invention:
1. A band-fastener comprising casings, each formed with an inclosure having its longitudinal ends open, one side formed at an angle to the base of the casing, and suitable head-portions formed with the base of the casing, a band having enlarged ends, the ends adapted to enter the inclosures, a wedge-member adapted to be inserted into each of the inclosures and being formed with a recessed face in which recess the en larged end of a band is adapted to locate to hold the band ends in connection with the casings through the contact of the band end and wedge-member, and the wedge-member and angle-side of the inclosure, and coupling means adapted to connect said head-portions.
2. A band-fastener comprising casings, each formed with an inclosurehaving an open end and one side of the inclosure formed at an angle, a band having enlarged ends, the end portions of the band adapted to enter said inclosures through tl e openings thereof, a wedge-member for each casing having a face recessed substantially in conformity with the enlargement of said band ends and adapted to be inserted into each of the inclosures, intermediate the enlarged portion of the band end and the side of the inclosure formed at an angle, and with said enlarged end located in said recess thereby holding the band in connection with the casing through the contact formed by the end and wedge-member, and the wedgemember and side of the inclosure formed at an angle, head-portions for the casings, and coupling means adapted to connect the headportions.
3. In a band fastener, the combination with casings, each having a tapered opening and coupling means to connect the casings, of a band having its ends enlarged and located in the tapered openings, and of tapered wedge-members located in said tapered openings and having their faces at their larger ends andadjacent the bands, inset substantially in conformity with the enlargements of said band ends and in which insets said band ends are located.
4. In a band fastener, the combination with a casing having a tapered opening, of a wedge-member located in said opening tapered substantially in conformity therewith, and having one of its tapered sides having an inset tapered face, and a band end located in the inclosure and having an enlarged end with the enlargement thereof disposed in contact with said wedge-member inset face.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
