Be it known that 3:, (lee-AR l-l] ALLEN, reeident oi": Hrocktom in the county o-E Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements in Gonnectors for Bead Chain's, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to connectors or splicers for chains of the type known as head chains and which are commonly used for the polls, in electric lamp sockets The prime objects of the invention are to provide a splicer for chains of the eho r and similar types, simple, neat in appearance and effective and which can he produced at a minimum of cost. I l r A further specific object oil? the invention is to provide a device which is e acted to combine the functions of a splicer with those of an insulator interposed in the chain.
The above and other features and objects of the invention will he better understood from the following detailed description. taken in connection with accompanying drawings and will he thereafter pointed out in the appended claims.
hefer'ring to the drawings, Figure 1 shows in elevation z bend chain with o splicer constructed in accordance with. my invention; Fig. 2 is; a side elevation or one form of my improved sol :er; 3 a is a side elevation of another form of the sphcer adapted to 'also serve as an insulntor; Fig. 5 is a front View of the f rm shown in Fig 4;; Fig. 6 is a front View of a sphcer ofthe general type shown in Fig. 3 hot specially fashioned to match the chain in appearance; and
7 is a "front View of the general type oi splicer and insulator shown in Fig. 5 but likewise specially fashioned to correspond in appearance with the chain The head chain sections a, 5 ere connected by the eplicer generally designnted l as seen in Fig. 1, this spliccr shown in Figs. 1 and 3 being; formed of sheet or date meta bent to form hooks 2, 3 ct either ench these hooks being shown turned on opposite sides so that the device is of 1 3 coitilignretion. The central intermediate connect-i 4% of the splicer is formed with at large aperture 5 which may he considered in the nature of a button-hole, the splicer halving clots 8, 7 extending from this control aperture to near the ends of the hooks 1&389811 at 8, 9.

stock of the splicer the sides thereof will have a considerabledegree of resiliency and in practice the central aperture 5 is made c little smaller than the size of the beads of which the chain is composed so that as the End head of a chain section is presented thereto it may be pressed therethrough whereupon the connecting; Web of the chain is slid alcmg the slots; 6 or 7, until the bead fits: in the seat "formed therefor Within one of the hooks 2 or 3 it being understood that these hooks are of a size tosnugly holdthe head end fit the some as apparent from Fig. L This manner of construction of the splicer is advantageous and desirable 'for the reason that While permitting the ends of the chain to be easily interenguged with the splicer, after being engaged therewith there is practically no danger of accidental dicengagr-nnent is the case With usual forms of eplicers and it is to .be specially observed that this is true Without any alter nnmipulation of the spliccr such as the bending in of the hook ends after the heads are seated therein.
To enahle my improved splicer to serve-a function an insulator 1 preferably form it of fiher or like material as'sccn at 10 in iand 5 this form being preferably somewhat longer thnnthc metallic one just described but central huttonhole aperture 5 in like manner as. the preceding form with slots 6, 7 extending therefrom to near the ends of the hooks.
in accordance with a further feature of the invention it iorrn the splicer of a scalloned configuration as i and 7., as l have found that with this form he connector has n more ornamental appenitence and. is less conspicuous in the chah'r I am aware that the details or conetrucseen at ll, 11'' in Figs.

ticn to near itsends, with an enlarged cen trel aperture for receiving beads therethrough in either directicn, aperture being slightly smaller than the size cf e bead to be received therethrcng h whereby the slightly smaller then the beads Wl'iereby the beads may be frictionally held by spring pressure in the heck seats so formed.
2. A splicing connector for head chains formed of strip materiel bent tc ii-shape with a slot extending lengthwise and centrally thereof thrcngh its intermed ate per-- tion to near its ends, with a cent; 1 receiving aperture, the extremities cf the device being formed as heck sects adapted to hold the beads with a spr' preesdre.
3. A splicing connector rcr head chains formed cfthin flat stock to iii-shape With a slot extending lengthwise through the centrcl portion thereof to ne'er the ends of the merger iiihccks, there being an enlarged bead receiving aperture intermediate said slot through which the heads at the ends of the respective chain portions may be passed in cppcsite direeticns and then slid along said srct t0 find seats in the respective endhcoks.
ll A splicing connector for bead chains formed of thin fiat stock bent t0 $-shape with a slot extending through the intermediate portion. thereof to near the end of tlic fii-hccks, With an intermediate bead re cciving aperture, the hook seats at the extremities 0f the device being adapted to hold securely the end beads of chain portions to be united, and the sides of the device being fashioned to present a scalloped configureticn simulating a, bead chain in appearance whereby it is rendered inconspicucus'in use.
