Description
July 22, 1930. w. A. RAMSAY SUGAR CANE SLING Filed June 11, 1929 ATTORNEY Patented July 22, 1930 UNITED STATES,
PATENT OFFICE WILLIAM A. RAMSAY, 0F HONOLULU, TERRITORY OF HAWAII, ASSIGNOR TO WILLIAM A. RAMSAY, LIMITED, OF HON'OLULU, TERRITORY OF HAWAII, A CORPORATION OF HAWAII SUGAR-CANE SLING Application filed June 11, 1929. Serial No. 369,958.
The present invention relates to improvements in sugar cane slings, one ob ect of the invention being the provision of a sling, the
terminals of which are provided with a novel combined hook and eye member whereby the sling can be quickly and easily engaged by one hook to form a loop, while the eye of the other end is connected to a hoisting hook.
Another object of this invention is the pro vision of a simple, durable and inexpensive terminal connector for a sugar cane sling, that is thoroughly efiicient and practical in use.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invent-ion resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the I details of construction hereinafter described per se;
Figure 3 is a view of one terminal looking toward the hook side thereof;
Figure 4 is an end View of one of the terminals per se.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 5 designates the cable of the sling, to the ends of which are attached the terminals or connector members 6. The members 6 are similar in construction so that a description of one will suffice for both.
The member 6'is made of a single piece of metal, preferably cast, to provide a tubular portion 7 having a longitudinal bore 8, so that the end of the cable can be placed therein and anchored as at 9.
An eye 10 is formed upon one end of the member'6 to receive a hoisting hook 11 and a pair of opposed hooks 12 and 13 are formed my hand.
on one side of the tubular portion 7 of said member. The hook 12' diverges outwardly from the tubularmember 7 toward its free end, and the free end of the hook 13 is spaced a greater distance from the tubular portion 7 of the member 6 than the free end of the hook 12. The hooks 12 and 13 thus form a throat of substantially J -shape into which the cable 5 may be introduced and wherein it may be held or from which it may be released, as occasion may require.
It will thus be seen that, by providing a combined hook-and-eye, at each end of the sling, either end can be used to engage the hoisting hook or the cable, thus making it unnecessary to mount a hook on one end and an eye on the other end of the sling cable, as is the present practice. It is also apparent that, by making the combined hook-and-eye as herein shown and described, a device is provided which not only will last longer than, but will also be less destructive to the sling cables than the hooks commonly in use.
What is claimed as new is: a
1. A sugar cane sling, including a cable, and two terminal members attached one to each end thereof, each of said members con1- prising a single cast-ing including a tubular cable-receiving portion having an eye at one end and a pair of co-acting off-set books at one side thereof.
2. A terminal connector for sugar cane slings, made of an integral piece of metal to provide a tubular cable receiving portion, an eye on one end thereof and into which the bore of the tubular portion leads, and two co-acting hooks extending from one side of and substantially the full length of the tubular por tion. I
3. A terminal connector for sugar cane slings according to claim 2, in which the two hooks form a substantially J-shaped throat.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set WILLIAM A. RAMSAY.
