UNITED STATES PETER THOMAS OBRIEN, OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS.
STRETCHER AND DRIER FOR HIDES.
Application filed March 12, 1923. Seria1 No. 624,548.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PETER T. OBiunra', a citizen of the United States, residing at Salem, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a I new and useful Stretcher and Drier for Hides, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to apparatus for use in stretching and drying hides and leather, one of the objects of the invention being to provide racks of novel construction on which hides of different sizes can be mounted readily, there being novel means for detachably engaging the hides and the rack for holding said hides in proper position for drying.
Another object is to provide hide engaging clips which can be manipulated readily for stretching the engaged hides and afterwards placed in engagement with the racks so as to hold the hides against shrinkage.
A still further objects is to provide racks which can be compactly stored in a drying space where they can be conveniently moved into and out of position.
lVith the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combina tions of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the'claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
In the accompanying drawings the pre tterred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings,
Figure 1 is an elevation of a rack with a stretched hide thereon.
Figure 2 is an end elevation of the rack.
Figure 8 is a plan view of portions of two racks engaging their supporting means.
Figure 4 is an enlarged section through a portion of one of the racks showing one means for connecting the. parts.
Figure 5 is a similar view showing a modified connection.
' Figure 6 is an elevation of one of the clips in engagement with the rack and hide.
Figure 7 is a section through the clip on line 77 Figure 6.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 and 2 designate flat metal plates preferably substantially rectangular and connected by bolts 8 the end portions at of which can be screw threaded and extended through the plates close to the edges thereof, these end portions being engaged by nuts 5. Shoulders 6 can be formed on the bolts for holding the plates spaced apart. It preferred, and as shown in Figure 5, the ends of the bolts can be in the form of reduced studs 7 held in the plates by cotter pins 8 or similar fastening devices.
The two connected plates form a rack and each rack is supported on a rail 9 having an upwardly extending longitudinal portion 10 projecting between the plates of the rack so as to guide the rack while being pushed along the rail. An upstanding wall or frame 11 is arranged adjacent one end of the rail and has one or more clips 12 projecting therefrom for engagement with the upstanding edges at one end of the rack as shown in Figures 1 and 8. Thus the rack will be supported in an upstanding position. 7
Each plate of the rack has numerous openings therein as shown at 13, these openings extending over the greater portion of the area of the plate. Any one of the openings is adapted to receive a hook 14 formed at one end oil a stem 15 and connected to this stem close to the hook is a strap 16 of any suitable material terminating in a loop 17 The other end of the stem has a jaw 18 the active face of which has parallel ribs 19 projecting therefrom. These ribs can be of any desired contour and can be arranged at any desired angle to the stem. A lever 20 is pivotally mounted on the stem as shown at. 21 and has a handle 22 at one end while its other end is provided with a jaw 23. Ribs 24: extend from this jaw and are adapted to project between the ribs 19. A spring 25 can bear against the lever 20 so as to hold the jaws normally toward each other.
When it is desired to stretch and dry a hide H the same is laid out on one of the plates 1 and 2 and the clips formed by the stem 15 and lever 20 are placed in engagement with the hide at desired points along the edges thereof. The jaws 19 and 20 will grip the hide securely, the spring 25 causing them to bind tightly on the gripped hide which will be crimped between the ribs 19 and 24:. After the clips have all been positioned on the hide the hooks 14 are inserted in the nearby openings 13 and by pulling on the loops 17 the hide can be stretched and theflhooks placed in other openings 13 to hold the hide against shrinking. One or more hides can be stretched on each plate of the rack after which the rack, While set up on edge, can-be slid along the rail 9 until brought into engagement with the supporting clips 12. After the hide has dried it can be removed readily as Will be apparent.
What is claimed is:
The combination With an upstanding structure and spring clips secured thereto and extending therefrom, said clips being arranged in pairs,- of a rail extending from the bottom of the upstanding structure, an upstanding portion on the rail extending longitudinally thereof, vand arack slidably mounted on and supported by the rail and movable against the upstanding structure, said rack'incl'udi-ng spaced plates slidable along and guided by the upstanding portion on the rail said plates being movable into engagement by and adapted to be held in upstanding positions by the respective pairs of clips.
In testimony that Iclaim the foregoing as'my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature.
PETE-R THOMAS OBRIEN.
