Fig. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view showreversely bending and curving the end portions ing the preferred application of the devices of the legs 5, 5a, it will be seen that pressure embodying my invention. upon the legs, one toward the other, will cause a Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of separation of the gripping arms 6, 6a, (see dotted the device suspended from a bar D, and also lines in Fig. 2) and release of pressure will permit the arms to automatically grip the strip A. As the legs 5, 5a, are of substantially equal length and similarly bent at their terminating end portions, their free ends or gripping elements are normally disposed in the median plane between the legs.
As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the bent portions 7 are in different planes transversely of the median plane above referred to and the curved portions 8 are bent laterally to position their gripping elements in alignment. The bent portions are arranged to engage each other when moving relatively, so that in the operation of the arms 6, 6a, away from and toward each other, the gripping elements are guided and maintained in alinement. It will also be noted that the arms 6, 6, of the pairs of legs 5, 5, occupy the same relation to the arms 6a, 6a; that is, the former arms may be on the outside or the inside of the latter arms, the latter arrangement being shown. In either of these arrangements, both pairs of arms co-operate to prevent dis-alinement of each pair of gripping elements since corresponding legs cannot readily swing laterally relative to the other pair of legs.
The corresponding legs of the wire sections 3 are shaped and connected together in a manner which maintains the loops and gripping arms in spaced relation and insures movement of adjacent or corresponding legs together. For this purpose the legs 5, 50:, of each section 3 between the loops 4 and bent portions 7 are preferably offset inwardly toward the legs of the other section, as shown at 9, for engagement with and connection to similar offset portions of the latter legs. As shown, each offset 9 on one leg 5 or 5a is connected to the corresponding leg 5 or 5a of the other ection so that the pairs of legs 5, 50, move together. The offsets of adjacent legs are preferably connected by a clip 10 bent therearound, as shown. Each clip 10 is preferably provided with extensions 11, 12, these being enlarged to form press plates, which are engaged by ones fingers to facilitate operation of the gripping arms, in opposition to the resiliency of the wire sections. The plates 12 are preferably provided with wings 13, which are bent around adj acent portions or" the legs. Either or both plates may be omitted when desired.
The free ends of the gripping arms constituting each pair are provided with male and female elements 6.1, respectively (see Fig. '7), and these elements are surrounded by collars 6', which engage the opposite faces of the film. By providing for the guiding of the gripping arms or their free ends toward and from each other, wear and danger of the elements 6x, being damaged are eliminated.
The weight 2 preferably consists of a lead body (which may be cast) having an oval shape in cross-section. The body 2 is formed adjacent its ends with slots 14 extending from one end of the body 2 inwardly in the direction of its major axis, the bottoms of the slots diverging downwardly relatively to said axis to insure drainage. The slots 14 are of a size and spaced to receive the loops 4 of the device 1 and after the loops 4 are set into the slots, the end portions of the outer walls of the slots are bent laterally inwardly and thus connect the weight to the loops. As the bent over walls engage the end portions of the loops 4, the resiliency of the legs 5, 5a, is not affected. The weight 2 may 'be positioned with the slots 14 extending upwardly, as shown in Fig. l, or with the slots 14 extending downwardly, as shown in Fig. 3.
By making the weight of a rounded form, in cross-section, its exterior surfaces provide for shedding of liquid readily.
The loops 4 may be suspended from the support B or other device in any suitable manner, for example, by U-members C, which are shown removably mounted on the support, or carried by a bar D, which extends through the loops as shown in Fig. 2.
In my form of construction the loops 4 are spaced from each other and disposed in parallel relation and the pairs of gripping arms are spaced and disposed equal distances from the planes of the loops, with the result that the device may be suspended vertically from a support and the strip hung vertically from the device; also, when a weighted device is connected to the depending free end of a strip, as shown in Fig.
1, this arrangement and form or construction insure that the weight of the device and the weight carried thereby will tend to hold the free end of the strip down without distortional strains.
upon the strip. Also, it will be noted that the strip is engaged at each end, or either end, by two pairs of spaced gripping members or arms, so that danger of weakening, cutting or damaging the strip is minimized and walls, corners, 013- recesses that may tend to hold liquid or prevent free access of the drying or cooling atmosphere are materially reduced or entirely eliminated. It will also be noted that the device is made of two sections of resilient wire so arranged and,.-
constructed that the requirement for a separate spring coil, to effect operation of either or both pairs of clamping members, is avoided. Furthermore, the construction and arrangement provide for unobstructed flow of liquid and air through the wire sections. liquid can adhere to the services of the section, thus insuring economical use of the necessary chemicals and quick drying of the moisture remaining on the sections due to immersion.
It will also be noted that in my construction,
be readily re-bent, manually, to bring the portions 7, 7, and elements 6x, 6x, into operative relation, normally engaged, and ready for use.
To those skilled in the art to which my invention relates, many changes in construction.
and widely differing embodiments and applications of the invention will suggest themselves without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. My disclosures and the description herein are purely illustrative and are not intended to be in any sense limiting.
