Description
.. NITED STATES WILLIAM A. OASWELL, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOB OF TWO-THIRDS HIS RIGHT TO EDWIN M. WALDRON BOWEN, OF SAME PLACE.
AND EDWIN V.
IMPROVEMENT lN HOSE-SUSPENDERS FOR FIREMEN.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 156,658, dated November 10, 1874 application filed Apr l 6, 1874.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. CASWELL, of the city and county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a Hose-Suev pender, of which the following is a specification:
My invention is intended for the use of liremen in handling and suspending the hose when engaged in extinguishing fires; and consists of a metallic handle or ring in an elliptical form, somewhat like the haft of a sword, and convenient for inserting the hand for the purpose of lifting a weight thereby. This handle is provided at each extremity with a pointed hook or claw, and on the under side with two eyes, for the insertion of the ends of a cord or small-sized rope, which is thus formed into a loop. At the bottom of this loop is attached a small hook.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents my invention, with the cord attached to a section of hose by means of the hook. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the handle, with one end turned toward the observer, showing a rib on the exterior part of the hook for the purpose of strengthening it. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the handle, showing the interior form of the eyes.
a is the haft or handle, with claws 0 c, the
latter being so formed as to be readily attached to the round of a ladder or baluster of a staircase or other similar object, and having pointed ends, which can be struck into the wood-work of a building, and thus fastened. 43 z" are the eyes, in which the ends of a rope, 1', are inserted, and held by a knot in each. The upper portion of the eye is countersunk to allow the knot to sink in out of the way of the hand of the fireman. his the hook at the bottom of the loop, with a ring in the end, through which the rope is passed.
This hose-suspender may be carried in the outside coat-pocket, and is thus always at hand, and is of great convenience in moving a line of hose filled with water, and suspending the same in almost any desired position on exterior or interior of a building. It is also WILLIAM A. GASWELL.
