HEFFLEY, OF DUNCANN ON, PENNSYLVANIA.
PACKAGE-TIE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented-Apr. 27, 1915.
Application filed May 13, 1914. Serial No. 838,365.
To all whom it may concern I Be it known that 1, JOHN W. HnrrLnY, a residing at Perry and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Package- Ties, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in package ties, and an object thereof is the provision of a device of this character to which one end of a fastening cord may be connected, and which is provided with means for detachably holding the free end of the cord after the same has been passed around the package.
A further object of this invention is the provision of a package tie, which comprises an elongated plate having overlying flanges at one end, the plate having a fastening wire connected thereto between the body portion and the flanges of the plate, the fastening cord being connected to the wire at one end of the plate, the wire being bent to form a hook with which the free end of the cord engages after the same has been passed around the package.
With these and other objects in view, my invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan view of my invention, showing the same applied to a package; Fig. 2 is a top plan view, partly in section, of the device; Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of the device; Fig. 4c is a sectional view on the line 4.4 of Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is a section taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3; Fig. 6 is a perspective View of the wire removed from the plate.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a flat elongated plate which is provided on its opposite edges with overlying flanges 2, the flanges extending from the inner end of the plate to a point intermediate of its ends. Mounted on the plate 1 is a securing device which comprises a length or strand of spring wire 3, the wire being secured at one end to the plate adjacent the outer end thereof, the wire extending longitudinally of the plate to form a limb L and projecting beyond the rear end of the plate, whereupon it is turned backwardly of the plate to form a parallel limb 5, the portion of the wire rearwardly of the plate forming an eye 6, the purpose of which will be hereinafter more fully described. The limb 5 extends to a point adjacent the forward end of the limb 4 and is bent backwardly upon itself above the plane of the body portion of the limb 5 and thence across the limb 5' and thence forwardly and down- 7 wardly to form a hook as at 7. The opposite end 8 of the wire extends rearwardly from the hook 7 in parallel relation with the limb 4 on the opposite side thereof to the limb 5, and terminates adjacent the rear end of the plate 1.
The central limb 3 of the wire is bowed upwardly beneath the hook 7 to form a resilient locking hump 9, the uppermost portion of the hump being disposed in a plane slightly below the plane of the hook to clamp the free end of the fastening cord 10 within the hook. That portion of the securing device disposed between the overlying flanges 2 is secured in position by solder or other suitable cementing material, the solder filling the space between the opposing edges of the flanges 2 and securing the wire to the body portion of the plate and the flanges. With a package tie constructed in accordance with my invention, the same cord may be used a number of times, and may be passed around packages of various sizes before the cord is worn out, whereupon the same may be replaced by new cord.
In the practical use of my device, one end of the cord 10 is secured in the eye 6 rearwardly of the plate, and the cord is then passed around the package the desired number of times and the cord is then engaged beneath the hook so that the cord may be passed around the package in a direction at right angles to the direction of the first convolutions thereof, whereupon the free end of the cord may also be engaged under the hook 7, the hump 9 binding the same against the hook to secure the cord in position around the package. It will be seen that the outer end of the securing device supporting the hook 7 is free, so that a certain amount of resiliency is imparted to the hook, whereby the cord will be securely held between the resilient hump 9 and the hook 7.
' end, a cord'connected atone end in said eye,
and said securing device being formed with of the cord Within the hook. I 2. A package tie comprising'a plate having overlying side flanges at one'end thereof, a securing device comprising a length of spring wire, said wire being bent to form three parallel limbs, said limbs being enthe intermediate limband one ofthe forward end of said plate being bowed upwardly to form a resilient hump below said hook, and a cord connected at one end in'said eye, the free endof said cord being adapted for engagement between said hump and said 7 hook. means for resiliently holding the other end 7 In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my, signature in the presence of two witnesses.
