CHAIN T IGHTENER AND HOOK.
Application filed January 9, 1922. Serial No. 528068.
T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that we, JOHN E. Gnisnn and WILLIS A. ROBISON, citizens of the United States, residin V at Neodesha, county of Wilson, State of liansas, and York, county of York, and State of Pennsylvania, respectively, have invented new and useful Improvements in Chain Tighteners and Hooks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention comprehends the provision of a chain tightener adapted to be associated with one end of the chain, and designed to facilitate the association of the loose end of the chain therewith, and provided with means to engage the chain at an appropri ate point in its length to hold the latter taut.
One of the chief characteristics of the invention resides in the provision of a device of the above mentioned character which is formed from a single piece of material, the device being designed so that it cannot be casually separated from the chain, but conveniently detached therefrom when desired.
Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a device of this character which is simple in construction, and which can be manufactured and sold at a very nominal cost.
The nature and advantages of the inven-. tion will be better understood when the fol lowing detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.
In the drawing forming part of this application, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein Figure 1 is a side elevationof the device showing the manner of using the same.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device showing the device associated with one end of the chain, and also illustrating by dotted lines the position of the other end of the chain just prior to its association with the device.
Figure 3 is a sectional View taken on line 50 33 of Figure 1 illustrating the arrangement of the links prohibiting casual separation of the device from the chain when in use.
The device forming the subject matter of 55 the present invention is constructed from a single piece of suitable material and includes an elongated body portion 10 which is curved atone end to provide a hook-like eX- tremity 11, the latter being formed with an eye 12 which receives the link 13 constituting one end of the chain illustrated.
I The opposite end of the body portion 10 is bent at a right angle thereto as at let and thence upwardly as at 15 to define a hook arranged at a rightangle to the hook 11, the portion 15 terminating an appreciable distance beyond one edge of the body portion 10 for the purpose to be presently described. I
In practice, the chain is extended about the object with which it is adapted to be associated, and the final link 16 of the free end of the chain subsequently arranged in a position illustrated by dotted lines in Figure 2, immediately above the portion 15 of the hook at one end of the device. This link is then slipped down over the portion 15, and thence around the portion 1&1 onto the body portion 10, after which it ismoved longitudinally of the body portion 10 and positioned within the hook 11 at the opposite end of the device as shown in Figure 1. After the chain has been drawn taut, the particular link arranged adjacent the portion 14 is then slipped over this portion into the hook defined by the portions 14 and 15 respectively. In this position of the link 17, the chain is held perfectly taut, the link being arranged crosswise of the hook, and at a right angle to its adjacent connecting links 18, an arrangement which prohibits casual separation of the device from the chain. However, the chain can be loosened by simply moving the link 17 out of the hook-like extremity of the device as will be readily understood. The simplicity 95 of the device is such that it can be conveniently handled for the purpose intended, and also manufactured and sold at a very nominal cost.
l/Vhile it is believed that from the fore- 100 going description, the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, we desire to have it understood that we do not limit ourselves to what is herein shown and described, and that such changes 1 sa r95 longitudinal edge of the body portion and. adapted to receive a particular link of the chain as and for the purpose specified, the final link of the free end of the chain being slipped over said extended portion and the body of the device into the said hook-like terminal.
In testimony whereof We aflfix our signa- 20 tures.
JOHN E. GEISER. WILLIS A. ROBISON.
