F. B. WYATT.
WIRE STRETCHER. APPLICATION FILED DEC-5. 19H.
Patented Apr. 30, 1918.
INVENTOR) ATTORNEY ronnsT n. WYATT, on MmnnoLA, KANSAS.
WIRE-STRETGHER.
Application filed December 5, 1917.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Fonns'r R. WYATT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneola, in the county of Clark and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVire-Stretchers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has relation to wire stretching tools, and has for an object to provide a tool of an extremely simple construction embodying means whereby the meeting ends of fence wire may be looped and twisted together.
Another object of the invention is to provide a combination tool embodying means to permit the utilization of the tool as a wire stretcher and twister, and means for driving staples in a fence post, and means forming a part of the wire stretcher to be utilized as a staple puller.
In addition to the foregoing my invention comprehends improvements in the de tails of construction and arrangement of the correlative parts to be hereinafter more fully described and particularly set forth in the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings in which similar and corresponding parts are designated by the same character of reference throughout the several views in which they appear Figure 1, is a view of my improved wire stretching and tying tool, in top plan.
Fig. 2, is a view thereof in bottom plan, Fig. 3 is'a view of the tool in side elevation 7 Fig. l, is a view thereof in longitudinal section, and
Fig. 5, is a view in perspective illustrating the manner in which the tool is used, to stretch and tie the meeting ends of fence wire.-
, With reference to the drawings,'10 indicates the main portion of the tool which is in the nature of a bar, rounded at one end, and having its other end split or bifurcated to form a cleft 11 defined by the diverging portion 12.
Adjacent the cleft end of the tool there is provided a stud 13, substantially conical in configuration with its base portion secured to the tool and its apex enlarged and formed into a cylindrical hammer head 14:, having a hammer face 15. The stud may be formed with a reduced portion 16 to enter Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 3d, 1918.
Serial No. 205,594.
an aperture in the-bar and the reduced portion upset as at 17 to secure the same in place. It will be noted that the terminals 12 of the cleft end of the bar are curved slightly in the direction of projection of the stud 13.
Secured to the opposite end of the bar 10, or that end opposite the end thereof having the cleft portion,'is a handle 18 directed 0ppositely to the stud 13 and secured in the bar in a similar manner to said stud.
In use, the ends of the wires 19 and 20 to be stretched as shown in Fig. 5, are looped as at 21 and 22 respectively. A strand of smooth wire indicated at 23 is'provided, and one end formed into a loop for interlinkage with the loop 21. The stud 13 of the tool is then inserted in the loop 22, and the other end of the strand 83 inserted in said loop 22, thence partly around the stud 13, then engaged in the cleft portion 11 of the tool. The handle of the tool is then grasped and the tool rotated in a horizontal plane a number' of times so as to twist the strand 23 around the stud. The tool is then twisted so as to remove the studs from the loop 22 and. the tool is then rotated as an entirety around the wires 19 and 20 in a vertical plane so as to twist the end of the strand 23 around its intermediate portion to form a second loop which will thus be in interlinked engagement in the loop 22. The wires 19 and 20 will then be secured together through the medium of an intermediate strand 23 and during the rotation of the tool in a horizontal plane the said wires 19 and 20 will be moved toward each other and thereby stretched. It will be obvious that the tool may be grasped and the hammer head 14: utilized to drive staples into the fence post to secure the wire in place. The cleft portion of the tool besides being utilizable to hold the end of the strand 23, may also be used to remove tacks or staples from the fence post.
While I have illustrated and described my invention with somedegree of particularity,
I realize that in practice various alterations thereover may be made, and I therefore desire to reserve the right and privilege of changing the form of the details of construction, or otherwise altering the arrangement of the correlative parts, without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letcured to the other end of the bar projectters Patent is: V
A tool including a bar, having one end cleft, and the cleft terminal curved away in presence of two witnesses. 5 and out of the plane of the bar, a stud se- FOREST R. WYATT.
