MORRIS DAVENPORT AND MARCUS H. HICKS, OF GROTON, NEW YORK; SAID HICKS ASSIGN OR TO WILLIAM W. HARE, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN 'WIRE-STRETCHERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 189,846, dated April 24, 1877; application filed February 29, 1876.
v tion. v
Our invention relates to an improvement in wire-stretchers.
In the drawings is shown a view, in side elevation, of a device embodying our invention, which consists in the followingparts and coinbinations, as hereinafter specified and claimed, whereini A is a lever, to one end of which is attached a revolving block, B, provided with spurs or points b b. At any suitable point along the arm of the lever A (preferably about onethird of the distance from, the block B to the other end of the lever A) is provided the plate C, made of metal or any suitable material. Just beyond the plate C is pivoted the eccentric clamp D, provided with a roughened or serrated periphery, and with a handle, d, for
operating it, in its function of grasping and retaining a wire between the eccentric clamp D and the plate C, as will hereinafter more fully appear.
In operating our device, place the revolving block B against the fence or telegraphpost, or to whatever the wire is to be secured. While in this position the spurs b h will enter the post, and prevent any slipping or displacement. Now carry the lever A forward, and place the wire to be stretched between the plate C and eccentric D, and clamp it there by a turn ofthe arm or handle d. It will now obviously appear that by a return :movement of the lever A the Wire, firmly heid as it is between the plate C and eccentric D, Will be stretched to the desired tension, when it may be secured in any suitable way.
1. In a portable wire-stretcher, the combination, with a revolving self-adjustable fnlcruin-block, B, provided with spurs b b, of a lever, A, provided with a wire-clamping device, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. A portable Wire-stretcher, consisting of the lever A, selfadjustable fulcrum-block B, provided with spurs b b, plate C, and eccentric clamp D, substantially as and for the purpose specied.
In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
` MORRIS DAVENPORT.
MARCUS H. HICKS. Witnesses:
WILLIAM W. HARE, HERMAN S. HOPKINS.
