UNITED SI'rrifJuEIs JESSE R. HORTON, OFST. LOUIS, MISSGURI, AND HENRY RrHORTON, OF
MGKINN EY, TEXAS.
` IMPRQVEMENT IN BALE-Tnss.
Specification lormirg part of Letters Patent No. 174,247, dated February 29, 1876; application led December 4, 1875.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that we, JESSE R. HORTON, of
the city and county of St. Louis, Missouri, and
the band in the requisite position for being locked together., Fig. 4 is a similar section,
- representing the ends ot' the band locked.
Our invention is an improvement upon the patented bale-tie illustrated (in longitudinal section) in Fig. 5, in which two n arrow elongated lugs are secured in one end ofthe band, at a short dista-nce apart, and lthe other end ofthe band provided with corresponding narrow and square slots, through which said lugs are passed to form the lock,7 as shown.
The small lug a is curved on one side, in order to prevent the end cot' the band from slipping oli', and the larger lug b is undercut, .to enable the end c to be passedover said lug a.. llhe larger lug sustains a part ot the strai-n to which the bandis subjected; but having three of its sides straight, it does not aid in holding the end'd ofthe band in contact with the other. The consequence is, the lugs are 'liable tobe pressed upward out ot' their slots bythe swelling of the bale, and the ends of the band to A thus become loose or detached.- We avoid these and other objections incident to the construction of said patented tie by making the small lug B (see Figs. 1,2, and 3) with straight sides, and providing the larger lug A with lateral flanges, and the band with a bottleshaped` slot, D, and a round hole, E, to receive the respective lugs. band are brought together, as shown in Fig. 3, and the lug A enters the Wider portion of slot D,-the tension on the band causes said lug to be drawn into the narrow part of the slot, and its lateral flanges pass over the edges of the band, forming the sides ot' such narrow portion, Figs. l, and 4., while the stud Bsimultaneously enters the-hole E, and thus the lock is completed. It will be seen that, in this case, the end C of the band is held in close contact with the other end,F, by means of the lug` A, and the swelling of the bale can never affect the security of the fastening, since the flanges of said lug do not Vpermit it to be pressed out of the slot. Besides this, the smaller lug B'does not project froln'the sul'- face of the band, and the larger one, A, projects hut little, so that they do not catch in the cotton or wrapping ofthe bale,either in the act ot locking or unlocking.V
What we claim is- .p
The bale-band provided with the lug A, having opposite lateral lianges, the stud B, with vertical sides, and the lcorresponding slot D andhole E, having the form shown, as and for the purpose specified.
