A X I l r UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CARL A. MIKKIN, OF OLMSTED, ILLINOIS.
HAME AND TRACE CONNECTOR.
Application filed. July 22, 1919.
T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CARL A. MIKKIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Olmsted, in the county of Pulaski, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hame and Trace Connectors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hame and trace connectors, and is particularly an improvement over my prior Patents #1,188,299, patented June 20, 1916, and #1,233,493, patented July 17, 1917.
One object of the present invention is to provide a hame and trace connector wherein the trace engaging hook is movable to facilitate the engagement and disengagement thereof with respect to the hame carried members.
Another object is to provide a novel and improved device of this character wherein the trace hook is held from accidental disengagement from the trace.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a hame showing my invention applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, showing the engagement of the hooks of the device.
Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the connector removed from the hame.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the blank from which the base plate and member 15 are formed. a
Fig. 5 is an end view of the device showing the hook wedged between the base and member 15.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents a plate which is secured to the hame 11, said plate having a longitudinal bar 12 secured thereto and spaced from its outer face.
The connector includes a casing 13, formed from a single piece of sheet metal, and comprising the inner plate portion 14 and the outer plate portion 15, arranged in parallel spaced relation thereto. The latter Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 11,1920.
Serial No. 312,586.
portion is, however, considerably narrower than the portion 14, and formed centrally through these portions are the registering openings 16 for the reception of the rivet 17, the purpose of which will presently appear. It will be noted that the blank from which the casing is formed is doubled at 18, and that portions are cut at opposite sides of the inner end of the portion 14 of the casing and rolled'into bearings 19 for the reception of the transverse portion 20 of the yoke 21, the remainder of said portion 20 extending within the double portion of the casing. The arms 22 of the yoke are extended into convergent relation, and at their outer ends are formed with the parallel hooks 23 which stand in planes at right angles to the planes of the plates 14 and 15. The yoke is thus mounted on the casing for pivotal movement.
On one side of the other end of the plate portion 14 there is formed an angular-1y turned foot 24 which bears against the adjacent face of the plate portion 15 to space the outer plate from the inner plate. Disposed between the plates 14 and 15 is a hook 25, which is pivotally carried by the beforementioned rivet 17. This hook is arranged for pivotal movement in a plane parallel to and between the plate portions 14 and 15, the outer end of said hook projecting from between said plates for engagement with a trace end, not shown. The bill portion 26, of the hook 25, is of slightly greater thickness than the distance between the outer portions of the plates beyond the rivet 17, so that, when the hook is swung outwardly from its position between the plates, the foot 24 bears against the face of the plate 15, but when the hook is swung into position between the plates, the thicker portion of the bill will cause the outward flexing of the outer portion of the plate 14, so as to withdraw the foot out of engagement with the plate 15, thus causing the plate 14 to frictionally bear against the hook and hold the latter hook in proper engagement with the trace end.
What is claimed is:
l. A hame and trace connector comprising a casing formed from a single piece of resilient metal and including spaced plate portions, a trace end engaging hook carried by one end of the casing, a hame engaging hook mounted between the plate portions, said hame engaging hook having its bill portion of a thickness slightly greater than the distance between the plates whereby when said bill portion is moved to a position between said plate portions said bill will be frictionally engaged thereby and held from accidental displacement.
2. A hame and trace connector comprising a casing formed from a single piece of metal and including parallel plate portions of different widths, the connecting portion of the plates being formed with hearing eyes, one side of the other end of the narrower plate portion being formed with a CARL A. MIKKIN.
