MARZY J. WARD, 0F UNADILLA, NEW YORK.
PACKAGE-TIE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MARZY J. WVARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Unadilla, in the county of Otsego and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Package-Ties, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
The object of the invention is to provide a package tie of simple and cheap construction which is adapted to be quickly applied or removed and which is so formed that it will lie flat on a package without danger of engaging or becoming entangled with other similar ties on other packages.
In the accompanying drawing which shows the embodiment of the invention to which 1 now refer,
Figure 1 is a perspective View showing a tie in use on a package.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the tie on an enlarged scale.
Fig. 3 is a front view of the tie in process of being put in place, the cord still being in the position A indicated in Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 but showing the tie in final position on the package.
Fig.
lfig.
5 is a rear view without the cord. 6 is a side view.
Fig. 7 is a view somewhat similar to Fig. n but without the cord and showing a slightly different embodiment of the invention.
Referring to the drawings, P represents the package which is to be tied. 1 represents the tying device as a whole and 2 is the cord which engages the tying device.
The tying device proper comprises a single piece of wire which at one end is suitably formed to be connected with the cord 2. As shown there is provided an eye 3 which is inclined at an angle of about 415 degrees to the surface of the package. The cord is looped through the eye 3 and is suitably held as for instance by means of the clips 4.
Adjacent the eye 3 is a snub 5 through which the cord to be fastened is passed as shown .in Fig. 1. From the snub 5 the wire extends upward at 6 in a plane lying at an angle of about 45 degrees. Then at 7 the wire is bent sharply downward at an angle of about 45 degrees in the other direction. The wire extends downward nearly to the Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 23, 1918., Application filed August 27, 1917.
Serial No. 188,336.
surface of the package and then is bent substantial] y at right angles and extends forward and downward at a slight angle as shown at 8. At the forward end of the section 8 the wire is bent through nearly 180 degrees at 9 and at the same time is inclined upward at an angle of about 45 degrees.
From the point 9 the wire extends backward to a V at 10 where it is bent sharply backward upon itself and downward at an angle of about 45 degrees. From the V 10 the wire extends forward and is bent outward 'into a large loop 11 which serves as a handle as shown in Fig. 1. Preferably as shown in Figs. 2, 3, l and 5, there is a small bend in the handle at 12 which causes the main body part of the tie to be moved upward when the users thumb is pressed 011 the handle as shown in Fig. 3. I do not, however, limit myself to this bend 12 in the handle and the handle may be made straight as shown in Fig. 7.
In operation the cord and the tie are placed on the package, the tie assuming the position as shown in Fig. 1 and being held by the users thumb. Then the free end of the cord is passed downward through the snub 5 and under the parts 7, 8 and 9 of the tie. assuming the position shown by A in Fig. 1. The user pulls on the cord at A until it is drawn sufliciently tight and then swings the cord to the position B forcing it in the V 10 where it is pinched and tightly held.
One of the principal advantages of my improved tie resides in the fact that it has a minimum amount of projection above the surface of the package and in the further fact that there are no hooks or loose ends which are adapted to engage the cords or ties of other similarly tied packages. The three cord engaging parts, 3, 5 and 10, are all made as narrow as the thickness of the cord permits; and all three of these parts are inclined at an angle of about so degrees thus providing a minimum elevation above the plane of the package. Obviously, if these parts were arranged at 90 degrees they would project much higher and obviously, if they were at an angle of much less than 15 degrees, the cord would engage the package and force the tying device proper outward. It will be observed that the only hook-like parts of the device, namely, the snub 5 and the V 10, have their ends in or substantially in engagement with tie above the surface of the the package so that there is little or no opportunity for another cord or tying device to work its way into these hook-like parts and become entangled.
As-clearly shown in Fig. 2 the tie is so formed that "every part thereof is out of perpendicular 'alinement .with every other part. Particularly it will be'noted that the two sides of the snub 5 and the two sides of the V 10 are out of vertical alinement with each other. By virtue of this construction I attain the minimum projection of the package. What I claim is: V r 1. A package 'tiehaving a snub Send a V 10 both inclined at an angle of approxi- V nately 45 degrees to the main plane of the tie. V
A package tie having a snub and a V for holding a cord, the metal at each side of the snub and at each side of the V extending downward approximately to the main plane of the tie thus permitting the tie to lie flat.
3. A wire package tie having a snub and a V both slightly separated from the plane of the package, the two sides of the snub being out of perpendicular alinelnent with each other and the two sides of the V being out ofvertical alinement with each other.
4. A wire package tie havin a handle adapted to normally lie substantlally fiat on the package the handle being intermediately bent upward to cause the body part of the tie to be slightly raised when pres sure is applied to the handle during tying. In testimony whereof, I ailix my signature.
