'Patented .July-'3., 1.917.
Application led )february 3, 1917, Serial No. 146,474.
To all whom it may concern:
'Be-it known that I, NOAH LONG, a citizenof-the United States,y residing at Baileys Mills, in the county of Belmont and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and use- 'ful Improvements 4in Pelt-Stretchers, of
vlo
.uniformly stretched during the process of dryingand curing, and which will apply the strain uniformly to all parts. of the pelt. f With these and otheroblects 1n vlew, the
invention consists in certain novel featuresl of construction, as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims; and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the nvention- A Figure lvis a Aview of the improved device with the parts in Withdrawn or collapsed position.
Fig. 'e is@ `new4 similar to Fig. 1 with' the parts instretched orextended position. u .1*`i,\1 2g B is a plan View on an enlarged scale wat so` ig. '4 is an enlarged sectional detail on the line of Fig. 2. Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
The 'improved device comprises a main continuous rod or central member having a push button 11 at one end and with a plurality of prongs or elt engaging points 12 atthe opposite en Attached to the ,member` 10 near 'the terminal 12 isa supp ort- -ing device adapted to pivotally or swingv inglyparry a' plurality of radius bars or arms, the latter' -inturn pivotally 01 swingingly connected tothe stretcher 'members The supporting device which is attached to the rod l() is shown formed of plates 13-11 having intermediate halfsockets in which .the member 10 is received. and to which the members 13-14 are rigidly secured, as by rivets 15. The pivoted arms above referred to -are represented at 16 andthe stretcher members at 17, the latter being preferably in attened U shape transversely as shown in Fig; 3, with theiradius bars 16 pivoted at one end, as shown at 18,'between the sides Athe members 13-11 and the push button melnber 11, are other plateszZO-Ql which are duplicates of the .plates 13- 14 except that they are not riveted or otherwise fastened to the shaft 10, but l'are slidable thereon. A plurality of the radius bars 16 are disposed in spaced relation and pivoted'at 22 between the sides offthe stretcher menibers 17 and likewise pivoted at 23 between the 'plates 20-21 and at opposite sides 'of the rodY 'The bars which are associated with the plates 20-21 and the stretcher members 17 operate to move the'streteher niembers outwardly away .from Vthe rod 10-when the plates Z0-21 with their-attached bars 16 are moved toward the button member 11, or the button member 11 moved towardv the members 20 21. By this arrangement the device may be so manipulated as 'to Vcause the parts to assume the lrelative position shown in Fig. 2, or at any intermediate point between vthe positions showirin Figs. 1 and 12'.
VThe members 17 arefprovided with a .pll'le rality of spurs 27 at Vthe lends farthest from the prongs 12, over which' the larger open 'end of the pelt stretchedwhen applied to the device, and similar `spurs project from, the member v2.1 to engage the central por.-y tions of the pelt, to assist. in holdngyitiin stretched posit-ion'.` I 'j 'Ihepeltitpbe stretchedis disposed over the implement when the partsare'arranged in their witl'idrawn positiomoras shown in-4 Figxl, with 'the nose portion of the pelt engaged by the prongs 12 of the rod 10` and the opposite portion of the pelt stretched over the points 27.
The rod 10 is then forced` longitudinally by pressure appliedto the button 11 and the plates 20-'-EZ1 moved toward the button or held 'stationary while the rod is forced between them. 'lhese movements will cause the radius bars lli to move toward a position at right-angles to the rod lll, or until the members l? stretch the pelt thereon` the.
distance which the bars 17 are moved dependingupon the size of the pelt. 'lhe pelt may thus be stretched to any required extent, and tlms maintained until it is fully dried or cin-ed. Vl-'hen the radius bars 16 which are associated with the. lnovable plates iO- 21, are disposed at right angles to the rod l() as shown in Fig. 2, they lock the stretcher members in open position, efonsequcntly when the pelt is of a. size to be fully dislel'lded when the. stretchers are thus arranged. no other locking means will be required. 'hen smaller pelts are. v to be stretched it will be necessary to employ a suitable. locking means to hold the stretchers iu distemled position. I
'l'l1e` locking means comprises a plurality ol' notches 24' in spaced relation in the rod lll. and rigidly secured between the. adjacent portions of the plates 20-21 is a yieldable catch device having a tongue 26 adapted to engage in the. notches 24 one at a time. By this means when the rod 1.() is moved longitudinally of the members 20-21, or the members 20421 moved longitudinally ol" the rod, the members E25-2G will engage the adjacent notch and hold the rod in position relatively to the members 21-22, and corres|iondingly lock the stretcher members 1T in their distendcd position.
"lhe parts are wholly of metal as light as possible consistent with the strains to which they will be subjected, and are preferably galvanized, plated or otherwise protected from oxidatiomfand to likewise protect the pclts from injury by contact with the metal parts.
lla ving' thus described the invention, what 1s claimed as new 1s l. device of the class described' com'-v prising a. continuons central member, stretcher members, a plurality of radius bars in spaced relation and pivotally connected to saidv member at opposite sides thereof and to said stretcher members, a member movable relatively to said longitudinal member, anda pluralitv otradius bars disposed in spaced relation and pivoted respectively t0 sa id movable member at opposite sides thereot' and to said stretcher members.
L. A device of the class described compris-ingr a' 'contimions central member, stretcher memlaa'sra plurality of radius bars 4otally coupled respectivel 'said movable mem in spaced relation and pivotally connected to said member at opposite sides thereof and to said stretcher members, a member movable relatively to said longitmlinal member, a Jlurality ot radius bars disposed in spaced relation and pivoted respectively to said movable. member at opposite sides thereof and to said stretcher members, and means for locking said movable member to said central member.
