Application `ileiky May 7,
The object of this invention is to provide a tool for use in connection with the `operationr of splicing poles,`such as telegraph and telephone poles when the upper pole section is to `be connected with`that portion embedded in the/ground. i y
n A further object is to provide a toolV adapted to secure the ends of the wire ,clamps employed in splicingthe pole sections, and a toolv adapted to secure a. tiey member ofwre which connects oppositely located portions of a clamp having loop form Vandfextending. around both pole sections. v
A further objectis to provide a device including an VVelement` having a .plurality of hook members for .engaging the pole clamp, and anfelement adjustable with reference to that first named and carrying an engaging Adevice adapted to operate upon a tie member extending transversely of the wireclainp.
Y A furtherobject is to bend one end of y saidtie member around one side portionofV the clamp, the otherend having been passed between the pole sections andhaving `been kconnected with the opposite `side of the' clamp, incident to themanufacture ofthe device. i f Vith the foregoing and other objects inl view, the invention consistsin the novel construction and arrangement'of elements described, illustrated and'` claimed, it .beingunderstood that modifications may be made withinthe scope of the claims without de parting from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings forming part of this ap- Figure 1 isa view showing the poleclamp in top plan, and the pole sections to bey spliced being illustrated lin horizontal section, the toolalso being in top plan.
F'gure 2 is a section longitudinally of sleeve '28 ofFigure 1, theY position of the tool being that assumed at the Vbeginning of the operation of connecting 'the tie lmember of Figure 1 with the clamp. i y e v Figure 3 is a view showingthe position t of the tool at the next stage of the operation,
the end of the tie wirehaving been bent at approximately a right anglewith reference to the main portion of the tie` member. f
Figure 4 is a view showing the `tool in the clampkafter the latter has `the pole section 11. i u t y n A transversetie member 17 is connected in any suitable manner with the wire clamp,

The sections ofthe pole to bespliced are designated 10 and 11 and the wire clamp is shown at 12, and is'adapted to extend around bothl sections 10k and 11, one end of the.wireclamphavingan eye member 14 formedthereon, and a spike 15 extending lironi the `eve member andadapted to enter at Vthepoint 18, this lconnection usuallybe- `ingkr made by bendingtheftie around the clamp when the latter is formed atkfthe faetory; l
'In `lorder to clinchthe end portion 19 of clamp12,yafter'the latterhas passed thru the eye member 14;, Ivernploy a tubular lever 20, the lcmgitudinalA bore of which vis desig-V shows `the application i `of the i 'miV nated "21,11 transversefbore being shown at `22. Either bore 21 ort22zmay be employed operations beingl provided for in order thatV the tubular leverllgmaybe.employed ug proves to be most convenient under any given circumstances.
he opposite end of lever 2O carries a special element or elements adapted for connectingtie lmember 1f(V withy the clamp 12, thev pointvshown irllllilgure 1. The end portion o fulever E opposite that provided with boreQQ is threaded asshown at '25, and
l a Vsleeve or vthe like designated 26 is movable longitudinally of the threadedv portion of lever 20, thevthreads .beine on opposite edge portions ais shown especially in Figures- 1 and 67- and `the remaining portions of this .part othe 'lever being flat as shown at 2.
' cutaway-portion in `'sleeve 26 accommo dates `an internally threaded sleeve or nut 28, thiseleinent -last named. surrounding the threaded portienfof Alever 20,' and. the ele'- ments just referred to operatingon the principleofa common form. of wrench.
Connected with the sleeve 26 are prongs .such as '30, lthe latter terminating in hoolr .portions `31 adapted' to surround the wire clampv 1201' partlyrsurround the latter in the ymanner illustrated in several of the views.
