H. A. ZEITLER DEVICE FOR LIFTING COMB FRAMES USED IN BEEHIVES Filed June 15, 1927 Patented May 15, 1928.
HUGO A. ZEITLER, F LUXEMBURG, WISCONSIN.
DEVICE FOR LIFTING COMB FRAMES USED IN IBEEHIVES.
AppHcation filed June 13, 1927. Serial No. 198,423.
My invention relates to a device for lifting comb frames used in beehives. The first frame to be lifted out of a bee-hive is usually hard to remove, inasmuch as the spaces be- 6 tween the frames are not sufficiently large to afford a hand hold. One object of my invention is to overcome that difliculty so as to enable the first frame to be removed without crowding the other frames to one side.
Another object is to afford a means of handling the frame with one hand so that the frame may be readily turned for viewing both sides thereof.
Another object is to provide a means 13 whereby the device will engage the frame when the hand is removed therefrom.
Another object is to provide such a device in a simple and inexpensive form, which. may be easily manufactured and marketed at a low cost.
With the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed, and more particularly illustrated in its preferred embodiment in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a side view of my invention.
Figure 2 is an end view thereof showin the device as used with a frame.
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view of Fi ure 1.
eferring now more particularly to the drawings, I provide a pair of sheet metal stampings 4 formed in the shape of a rectangular frame. One side of the frame is formed into a hand hold 5, and the other side is rovided with teeth 6. The ends 7 of the rame are formed in the shape of a reverse curve, and at the medial portion of the curve the said ends 7 have pivot apertures 8. Between the hand hold and the apertures 8 the ends 7 are formed with lugs 9. The said hand held 5 is formed with its medial portion wider than its ends, and rivet apertures 10 are provided medially the hand hold for a purpose hereinafter described.
In constructing my invention, I pass one frame 5 through the other as shown in Figure 1. and co-operatively and pivotally rivet the frames together as by rivets 11 passed through the pivot apertures 8. I then position a contractile spring 12 between the hand holds 5 as by rivets 13 passed through the rivet apertures 10.
In use, the spring 12 pulls the hand holds 5 together until the lugs 9 engage each other.
'forcing the teeth into the bee-hive frame,
and the spring 12 will retain the device in this position even though the hand of the operator be now removed.
I claim:
1. Ina device of the kind described, a pair of rectangular frames, one of said frames being passed through the other and co-operatively pivoted thereto, and a contractile spring co-operatively connecting said frames.
2. In a device of the kind described, a pair of rectangular frames, each end of each frame being formed in a reverse curve, one of said frames being passed through the other and pivoted thereto at the medial point of said curve, and a contractile spring cooperatively connecting said frames.
3. In a device of the kind described, a pair of rectangular frames, one side of each frame being formed with a hand hold, the other side being formed with a plurality of teeth, the ends of each of said frames being formed in a reverse curve, lugs formed on each end of each frame adjacent said hand hold, one of said frames being passed through the other and pivoted thereto atthe medial point of said curve, and a contractile spring cooperatively connecting said frames.
4. In a device of the kind described, a pair of rectangular frames, one side of each frame' being widened at its medial portion so as to form a hand hold, the other side being formed with a plurality of teeth, the ends of each of said frames being formed in a reverse curve, lugs formed on each end of each frame adjacent to said hand. hold, one of said frames being passed through the other and pivoted thereto at the medial point of said curve, and a contractile spring cooperatively connecting said frame.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
HUGO A. ZEITLER.
