This invention relates to an improved tool or instrument which is adapted especially for splicing together the ends of a broken fence wire or the like.
Generally stated, the invention comprises a structure which serves to stretch the wire, and to then twist said wire, whereby to permit the broken ends of a fence wire to be spliced together by a supplemental connect ing wire.
My principal object is to generally improve upon tools of this class by providing one which is distinguished by an improved frame member, so made as to permit connection 35 of the wires thereto, stretching of the wires, and subsequent twisting of the connecting wire, in order to effect a dependable connection between the previously broken ends of the fence wire.
Another object is to provide a structure of this class which is unusually eflicient in operation, exceptionally positive and dependable in action, small and easy to handle and manipulate, practical in construction, economical to the manufacturer and the user and capable of fulfilling the requirements of an invention of this class in a highly satis factory manner.
Other and more specific structural features of the invention will become more readily apparent from the following description and drawings;
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of a tool constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is also a top plan view showing the frame structure swung over to approximately one-half of a circle to facilitate wrapping or twisting of the wire to form the panel connecting loop.
Figure 3is a side or edge elevational view of the structure seen in Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a cross section, taken approximately upon the plane of the line 44 of Figure 1. c
Figure 5 is a detail View showing a guide bar retaining latch.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the wire winding shaft.
Figure 7 is a detail view of the sectional operating lever.
Figure 8 is a side view of said lever.
Figure 9 is a view showing the manner in which the supplemental connecting wire is 5'5 looped and connected with the complemental loop of the main fence wire.
In the drawings, the reference character 10 designates generally the frame. This comprises a pair of side members secured together in spaced parallelism by a central cross piece 1-1, and short connecting rivets 12. The short piece 11 is disposed between the shaft carrying portion 13,
In this connection, it will be observedthat the outer ends of these portions 13 are formed with bearings in which the shaft 14 is mounted for rotation. Thisshaft is suitably maintained in place and is provided at its lower end with a turning eye 15. The operating lever 16 is releasably connected with this eye. The reference character 17 designates a transverse guide bar which is pivotally mounted at one end as at 18, and the opposite end is retained in position by a pivoted latch 19 as shown in Figure 5. Incidentally this bar 17 is in the position shown in Figure 1 during the wire stretching operation. However, the latch 19 is released and the bar 17 is swung down. and opened and the entire frame is swung over to an approximatehalf circle from the positionshown in Figure 1 to the position shown inFigure 2.
Incidentally, the closed and open positions of this member 17 are shown in Figure 4. The closely spaced end portions 20 of the frame are provided in their outer ends with v shaped notches 21 forming seats for re-. ception of the loop 22, which is formed on one end of the fence wire 23. In this connection, it will be observed that the remaining end of the fence wire is designated at 24E and this is also provided with a loop 25. These loops are of course formed with'pliers or the like.
It is appropriate to mention here that 26 designates the repair or connecting wire. At one end this is formed with a loop 27 connected with loop 25 by way of pliers or the like. The opposite end of this wire 26 is fastoned to and wound around the shaft 14, as at 28. The shaft is turned through the me-' dium of the lever 16. This lever is preferably constructed of complemental sections 29 and 30 pivoted together as at 31 and held in operating position by a removable retaining pin Thesection 30 is preferably formed with a hand piece 33.
With the frame 10 in the position shown in Figure 1, it is obvious that the loop 22 of the wire 23 is engaged in the notches 21, and that the free end portion of the connecting wire 26 is connected with and wound around the shaft 14. This wire 26 extends between the portions 20 of the frame and through the loop 22, where it intersects the bight portion of this loop. It also extends across the con necting pieces 11 and the hingedly mounted bar member 17. .In this position, the bar member 17 is latched in closed position. When, however, it is desired to make a return bend in this wire 26, around the bight portion of the loop 22, the latch isreleased and the bar member 17 is swung to open position.
This allows the entire frame to be swung over to the position shown in Figure 2. Now, the free end portion 28 can be twisted around the complemental body portion 26 to form the final connecting loop 34 as shown in Figure 9.
The device is quite small in actual size, being no longer than a mans hand. Hence it can be conveniently manipulated, and at the same time, the wire can be stretched taut to provide an effective connection between broken wire ends.
The construction, features and advantages.
and method of operation will be clear after reading the description in connection with the draw ngs. Therefore, a more lengthy description is regarded unnecessary.
crating crank therefor, and a bar extending transversely across said side members and pivotally at one end to the side member, a pivotal retaining latch for releasably conpivotally at one end to one side member, a releasable connection between the crank and the said shaft, said crank comprising pivotally connected sections adapted to be folded into compact association when the device is not in use.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
HENRY Gr. BARSCH.
