E. L. YELTON WIRE FENCE TOOL Filed April 26, 1925 Patented Apr. 20, 1926.
EDGAR L. YEL'ION, OF CLAUDE, TEXAS.
PATENT OFFICE.
WIRE-FENCE TOOL.
Application filed April 26, 1923., Serial No. 634,775.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDGAR L. YELTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Claude, in the county of Armstrong, State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wire-Fence Tools; 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 relates to new and useful improvements in wire stretching tools and particularly to fence wire stretching tools.
One object of the invention is to provide a tool of this character by means of which two wire ends may be tightly drawn toward each other and then properly twisted into interlocking relation.
Another object is to provide a tool of this character whereby the broken ends of a fence wire may be quickly and easily joined together at any point between posts, and wherein great leverage provided to efficiently stretch the wire ends.
Another object is to provide a tool of this character which is so formed that a quantity of one wire end may be reeled thereon and which serves to assist in the stretching of the wire and to provide sufficient excess wire for twist-ing to form the joint.
Other objects andadvantages will be ap-- parent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the tool.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the tool in operative position. c
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the wire ends after having been properly joined, and the tool removed.
The tool illustrated in the accompanying drawing is of the hatchet type having the eye portion 10, for the reception of the handle 11, the blade 12, and the hammer head 13. The hammer head 13 is preferably cylindrical in sha outer peripheral anges 14 and 15, whereby e, and has the inner and v the said head has the appearance of a spool. Formed on the eye portion of the hatchet, adjacent the inner flange 14, is a projection 16, which has its outer end bifurcated by means of a V-shaped cut 17, forming a pair of wedging jaws for holding the end 18 of the wire 19, as will be more clearly explained later herein. The length of the head 13, between the flanges 1 1 and 15, is sufficient to permit placing four or five turns of Wire thereon, as is shown in Figure 2.
In using the device, the end 20 of the broken wire is formed with the loop 21, the end of the wire 19 being passed upwardly through this loop and wound four or five times around the hammer head 13, after which the terminal 18 is engaged between the jaws of the bifurcation 17. The tool is placed in the position of Figure 2, with the hammer head 13 disposed transversely across the loop 21. The handle of the tool is then grasped by the operator and rocked on the hammer head as the fulcrum, and the handle moving in the direction of the wire 20, until the wire 19 is properly stretched. A pair of pincers are then applied to the loop 21 close to the wire 19, and then the tool is moved over and beyond the closed outer end' of the loop, and rotated around the wire 19, to cause the end 18 to be coiled about the said wire. As soon as the end 18 is coiled a few times around the wire 19, the tool may be released sufliciently to permit the wire on the hammer head being unwound therefrom and coiled around the'wire 19.
What is claimed is: As an article of manufacture, a wire splicing tool oomprisin a cylindricalbody having terminal peripheral flanges and a tubular eye extending at right angles to one end of the body, outwardly diverging jaws on the i peripheral face of one of the said flanges, the said jaws extending at right angles to the said body and beyond one end of said eye.
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature.
EDGAR L. YELTON.
