Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 13, 1916. Serial No. 97,341. I
To all whom it may concern."
Be it known that I, JOHN L. PEARSON, a citizen of the United States, residing in Cedar Vale, in the county of Chautauqua and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Package and Bundle Ties, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to devices for tying packages, bundles, etc., of various kinds, it is however especially intended for use in the mail service where ordinarily packages of letters or bundles of paper are held by straps, cords or twine, the straps being provided with buckles of various kinds and the cords or twine being tied and secured by ordinary knots.
According to my invention I employ cords, twine or string of proper size and strength and to one end of the cord I attach a fastening device of novel construction made from a single piece of wire to form a base which is preferably triangular in outline and to which one end of the cord is attached. One end of the wire is turned outward at right angles to the base to form a post and the other end or outer portion of the wire bent to form another post parallel with and adjacent to that first mentioned and is then. formed into a coil having a pluralit-y of convolutions after which it is continued and bent around both posts to hold them close together. The outer end of the wire forming the post first mentioned is bent over the outer coil in such manner as to hold it close to the coil next to it and thus limits the movement of the outer coil relatively to the next one.
My improvements are illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which the fastening device in each case is the same, but I have shown different ways in which it may be applied to different kinds of packages and bundles.
Figure l is a perspective view of my improved package and bundle tie showing how it may be applied in a very simple way about a package of letters.
Fig. 2 shows a top plan view of the fastening device.
Fig. 3 shows an end elevation thereof.
Fig. at shows a vertical section of the device.
Fig. 5 is a plan view showing how one end of the cord may be attached to the base of the device and how the free end of the cord may be connected with the fastening device.
Fig. 6 is an end view showing how the free end of the cord is clamped by the fastening device.
Fig. 7 is a sectional View similar to Fig.
4: but showing how the cord is engaged by the coils of the fastening device.
- The fastening device A is made of a single piece of wire suitably bent to form a base portion a which is preferably of a general triangular shape but is not necessarily of this shape. One end of the wire is bent outward at right angles to the base to form a post a. The opposite outer portion of the wire is bent outward at right angles to the base to form a post a similar in size to the post a and lying close to it. The wire is continued from the outer end of the post a and bent to form a series of coils w, x 00 which surround the two posts a, a The outer end of the last or bottom coil 00 is bent around the lower portions of the posts, as indicated at 00 and serves to hold the posts close together so as to prevent them from spreading or from moving from their normal position. The extreme outer end of or upper portion of the post a is bent over the coil to as indicated at y. In this way the movement of the coil a relatively to the coil is limited at that portion next the post. These features are of importance. The two posts give strength to the device adjacent the coil, the loop a? prevents the posts from spreading, while the hooked portion y of the post a properly limits the spreading of the coils in the manner before specified.
One of the simplest ways of using the device is indicated in Fig. 1. One end of the cord C is attached to the base a, as indicated, and the free end of the cord is connected with the coil. The device is shown as being applied to a package of letters L. In this instance the cord C is passed around the package and is then brought up through the center of the coil, it is then made to engage the coil between the upper and next adjacent convolutions thereof, it is then turned around to the right and pulled firmly against the inner sides of the posts a, a and finally it is drawn between the coils w, m beneath the hooked portion y where it is tightly held. It will be understood that those portions of the coil farthest from the posts can move more freely than those portions of the coil below the hooked part 3 so that as the cord, When being applied, approaches the posts it is more firmly clamped.
The manner in which the cord is connected with the fastening device in the form of the invention shown in Fig. 1 is more clearly indicated in Figs. 5, 6 and 7.
I have shown in Fig. 1 how my device may be applied to a package of letters or similar papers. It may be applied to packages of other kinds and the cord may be Wrapped more than once around the package and the free end of the cord may be connected With the coil in various Ways.
I claim as my invention:
1. A fastening device for package and bundle ties made of a single piece of Wire and comprising a base portion having two parallel adjacent posts, a coil having a p1urality of convolutions surrounding the posts,
one of said posts having a hooked portion extending over the top or outer coil and the outer end of the coiled \vire being bent around the base of said posts.
2. A. fastening device for package and bundle tics made of a single piece of Wire and comprising a triangular base piece having two parallel adjacent posts, a coil extending from the outer end of one of said posts and having a plurality of convolutions surrounding the posts and the other post having a hooked portion extending over the top of the outer convolution of the coil.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
