Letters Patent No. 109,859, dated December 6,1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN TREE-PROTECTORS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part: of the same.
To all persons to whom these presentsmay come;
Be it known'that we, BLANEY L. ALLEY, of Salem, of the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, and THOMAS W. SHAPLEIGH, of Gambridgeport, of the county of Middlesex, of the said State, have invented a new and usefulor Improved vTree-Protector; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification and represented inthe accompanying drawing, in which- 1 Figure l is aside elevation, and
Figure2 a top view of it'as applied ,to the trunk of a tree.
Figure 3' is a top view of a portion of the doublefringe'd strip of hair-cloth, and
Figure 4 is, a transverse section of the grooved band or flexible strip, used with the double-fringed strip of hair-cloth in making the protector.
In carrying out our invention we take a thick belt or band of leather, of sufiieient length to go around the trunk of the tree, andplow or formin it, lengthwise, a deep groove, having parallel'or about parallel sides, the same being as shown at a in fig. 4, wherein the band is shown at A;
Next we have woven narrow strip, 15, of haircloth, from whose opposite edges the filling hairs are 'to extend so as to form fringes, as shown at O O.
This strip of fringed hair-cloth we lay upon the grooved surface of the band A, with the middle of the strip ranging over or upon the mouth of I the groove a, after which we, by means of thread and a needle, or other proper tool or tools, sew through the strip and the band so as to draw thestrip closely into the groove, and, in so doing, double or fold the strip in a manner to bring the two fringes, nearly if not quite in contact, one lapping on the other.
The tree protector so made is to be drawn closely around the trunk of a tree, and to be fastened thereto by nails, so as to cause the hairs of the fringes to radiate from the tree, or to be arranged therewith in manner 'asexhibited in figs. 1 and 2, in which D denotes the tree, or a portion ofthe trunk there- A, the band and O O, the fringes or hairs composing them. We have found it very diflieult, if not impossible,
for a worm or grub to pass the obstacle presented by the hairs of the prongs, as whenever one may have ascended the tree to and attempted to crawl around the fringe, he invariably would lose hold -of it add drop. from it tothe, ground. The tree-protector may be madebysewing a broad piece of hair-cloth along the middle,'and to the leather belt,- so as to draw the cloth into the groove thereof, and the halves of. the strip together, and afterward drawing the warp hairs outside of the belt from the fillingahah's'; but as this would be an expensive way of making the protector in comparlson'to that offorming it in part of a double fringed band, as described, we prefer the latter.
\Ve are aware that a tree-protector has been composed of a layer of straw, and a circumscrlbing layer of cloth bound to a tree, and having rings of wire arranged around the body of the tree, close up under the ends of the layers, so as to expand or throw them out, all being as described in the forfeited application of Isaac A. Clark for a. patent.
We make no claim to such, it differing materially from our invention, although in some respects analogous, for in the making of our tree-proteotor we employ a groove, a, in the strip A, and we make use of a band, B, with fringes G O on its opposite edges, such band being drawn into the groove by sewing, and doubled by such and the groove, each making a merchantable or marketable article or manufacture very different in construction from the tree-protector of thesaid Clark. e
\V;e are enabled to make our protector and sell it in quantities to purchasers, who can out it to' the lengths required for use and readily apply it-to trees.
We therefore claim as our invention- The new manufacture of treeprotector, as described, composed of the strip A grooved its-explained,
and the double-fringed belt B arranged therewith inm'anuer and fixed'thereto by means substantially as specified.
