. UNITED STATES JOHN n. BEAM@ orrvAnHofE, NORTH CAROLINA. A
TENSION DEvIcE.
Application filed October 5, 1923. Serial No. 666,769.
To all 'whom it may concern:r
Beit known that I, JOHN D. BEATTY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ivanhoe, in the county of Bladen (R. F. D.) and Stateof North Carolina, have invented a new and usefuly Tension Device, of which the following is ay specification.
The device formingthe subject matter of this application is a connector of that general sortin which two relatively movable members are drawn together by the action of a resilient loop, and the invention aims to provide novel means ywhereby the loop may be renewed readily,'the device being capable of lnany uses, and adapted to be put on Suspenders and garments, to be used in place of dead-eyes and turnbucklesY in the setting-up of the standing rigging of vessels,
on agricultural implements, and, generally, wheresoever a quired. p Y
It is within the province ofthe disclosure to improve generally and to enhance Vthe utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains. n lVith the above andother objects in View, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what isclaimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown, can be made, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Figure 1 is an elevation showing a device constructed in accordance with the invention, parts being broken away, and parts appearing in section; Figure 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a fragmental perspective review showing one of the cover plates; Figure 4 is an elevation showing a modified form of the invention, parts being broken away, and parts appearing in section. f
Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, there are shown relatively movable members 1 which may be of semicircular outline, if desired,
although this detail is not insisted upon.v
The member 1 comprises a body 2 having an internal projection 3, there being grooves l in the bodies 2 about the projections 3. A resilient loop 5 is engaged about the projections 3 and may be in the formvof a 5 retractile helical spring. Covers 6 are tension device may .be re l secured to the bodies 2 of the members 1 by attaching elements 7, entering the projections 3, the covers 6 having iian'ges 8 located at the ends of the bodies 2 and forming abutments when the members 1 are brought together by ythe action of the resilient loop 5, the flanges 8 having openings or notches k9 through which theloop 5 passes. The
members 1 are supplied at their ends with connectors 20, which may be swiveled eyes or equivalent devices.
It will be obvious that when the members 1 are separated, the loop 5 will tend to draw them together. The covers 6 may be removed at any time to permit the loop 5 to be re-placed, should the loop lose its resiliency after a period of use.
In Figure 4 of the drawing, parts herein before described have been designated by numerals` previously used, with the suX a, j The'modification consists in elongating each of the movable members 1a over the showing of the corresponding part 1 in Figure '1. Further, the internal projection is in the form of a pulley l0 journaled at 20 on the body 2a of the movable member 1B.
I claim 1. A device of the class described, comprisingV relatively movable members, each of which has a pulley j ournaled therein, and a resilient loop engaged with the pulleys, each of said members comprising separable parts permitting the loop to be removed and renewed.v
2. `A device of the .class described, comprising relatively movable members, each of which comprises a body having an internal projection, a resilient loop engaged with the projections, covers, and means for connecting the covers movably to the bodies to permit the removal and the renewal of the loop.
3. A device of the class described constructed as set forth in claim 2, and further characterized by the fact that the covers have flanges overlapping the ends of said members and forming cooperating abutments, the flanges having openings for the passage of the loop.
4. A device of the class described constructed as set forth in claim 2, and further characterized by the fact that the projections are in form of pulleys journaled in said members.
5. A device of the class described, constructed asset forth in claim 2, and further characterized by the fact that the projeeiny own, I have hereto aixed my signature tions are in the form of pulleysjeurnaled. in in the presencef two Witnesses. said members, the covers heaving` flanges overlapping the ends of said members and l JGHN D BEA'IVFY 5 forming cooperating,abutnients, the flanges Witnesses:
having openings for thepassage' of'the'ioop; R1. J; H-Es'rnn,
In testimony that I elailn the foregoing as.y RALPH BORING.
