E.. A. HAYES WIRE STRETCHER AND SPLICER Filed May 7, 1923 3110mm: wily/Alia 66.
Patented July 29, 1924.
ELMER A. HAYES, OF DOVER, MINNESOTA.
WIRE STRETCHER AND SPLICER.
Application filed May 7,
Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful improvements in vVire Stretchers and Splicers; 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 relatesto improvementsin tools used for stretching and splicing wire and has for its primary object to provide a device of this kind whereby barbed wires, or any other kind of wire used for fences and the like may be readily and efiiciently stretched and spliced, and is so constructed that the wires to be spliced will be securely held in their proper positions until the splicing performance has been completed.
Another object is to provide a simple and cheap splicing tool, and one that may be easily handled.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claim hereto appended.
In the drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my inn proved splicing tool, with the wires to be spliced'in proper position, and,
Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken on line 22 of Fig. 1. A
Referring more particularly to the accompanying drawing, the invention consists essentially of a yoke, indicated generally at 10 and which is provided with the arms 11 connected by the bight portion 12.v
The forward ends of the arms ll are curved slightly inwardly as indicated at 13 and then forwardly as indicated at 14, with the result that the ends ofthe arms are parallel with and inclose proximity to each other. Formed in the ends of the arms 11 are the aligning transverse notches 15 and positioned between the arms and se-.
cured to the inner faces thereof, is a block 16, which completes the formation of a longitudinally extending channel between the 1923. Serial No. 637,339.
arms. The upper face of the block 16 is disposed slightly below the plane of the notches 15, for a purpose'to be explained hereinafter. 7
Near the bight portion 12, the arms 11 are provided with aligning openings 17,
which serve as bearings for the shaft 18, which is'provided, with an opening 19. The shaft 18 is further provided, exteriorly of the yoke, with a handle 20. Secured to the inner face of the bight portion 12, is a bar 21 having its free end formed with the hook shaped opening 22, which is to engage one of the wires to be spliced.
The operation of the device is accomplished as follows: The ends of the broken wire, which is to be spliced are designated by A and A. A loop B is made in the end of the wire A and this loop is then passed through the hook shaped opening 22, beneath the yoke and is then hooked in the notches 15. A loop is also formed in the end of the wire A and to this loop is secured one end of a piece of smooth wire C,
the free end of which is then passed through the'longitudinally extending channel beneath the loop B and engaged in the opening 19 in the handle.
The handle is then rotated until the proper tension. of the Wires has been accomplished, at which time, the hook 22 is disengaged from the wire A and the entire device is then swung upwardly and over, using the joint at the notches 15 as a pivot. The tool can then be easily slipped from the loop B and the smooth wire more securely fastened. The retaining lugs 23 are of special importance as they prevent the invention.
What is claimed is: I
In a: wire stretcher and splicer, the commeans carried by the arms adjacent the 10 bight portion.
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in the presence of two Witnesses.v
