STRING HOLDER FOR sAUsAGE cAsINGs v Filequune 2i, 1935 n 2 sheets-sheet 1 Patented Dec. 8, v1936 v UNITED STATES` s'rnmc HOLDER Hans J.; Jaworski, Milwaukee, wis. Application June 21, 1935, -Serial No. 27,686;
. 5 Claims. This' invention appertains to a novel device for facilitating the tying of the terminals of the casings of sausages, particularly sausages of the I ring or straight type, such as liver sausage, bologna, etc. v Y
In tying such sausages, it is customary to place a knot intermediate the ends of a group of relatively short lengths of cord or string. This bunch of string is then placed over a nail or hook at the knot portion at one side of the work bench. The ends of the string on one side of the knotl are used to tie the casing ends,l after which the string ends are severed adjacent to the knot.
The string ends on the other side of the knot are then used to tie other casing ends.
When these casing ends are tied, the strings are severed at the knot. 'I'he knot is then thrown away, resulting in a material waste of cord or string. Further, much time is consumed in forming the group of strings and tying the knot. The
knot hanging from the hook or nail does not u firmly hold the group of cords, and consequently each length of cord has to be firmly held during the tying offa casing end.
It is, therefore, one of the prime objectsy of my invention to provide novel means for holding a series of cords directly at the point of the tying of thecasing ends, and without the necessity of the cutting of the strings in lengths', and the tying of the knot' intermediate the ends of the group of strings. f I
Another important object of my invention is the provision of means for using a group of strings directly from a roll or reel, with means located directly on the table for firmly 'clamping the group of strings against slipping during the tying operation of the casing ends, the clamp allowingthe group of strings to be fed forward- 1y as needed, without waste.
IA further object of my invention is the provision of a clamp for releasably and tightly hold-A ing a length of string against movement, which includes a movable jaw, with means for urging the jaw into its gripping position, and means for raising the jaw to its elevated inoperative posi-v tion.
A further salient object of my invention is the provision of means carried by the clamp for initially holding and guiding a group of strings during the placing of the group of strings between the clamping jaws. v
A still further object of my invention is to provide an improvedstring clamping device for facilitating the tying of sausage casing ends of the above character, which will be durable and ef- (cl. 24-243) .L
cient' in use, one that will be simple and easy to manufacture, and one which can be placed upon the market at a reasonable cost.
With these and other objects in view, the inventionconsists in the novel constrictin', ar- 55 rangement, and formation of parts, as will be hereinafter more specifically described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings. in .which drawings: l
Figure-1 is a side elevation of my improved 1o device'.
vFigure 2 is a fragmentary longitudinal section through the improv d device, taken substantially on the line 2--2 of gure 3, looking in the direction of the arrows. 15 Figure 3 is a tom plan view" of theimproved device, with parts of\ the operating handle shown broken'away.
Figure l is a fragmentary, detail sectional view taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 3, looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 5 is a similar view taken substantially on the line 5-5 of Figure 3, looking in the dif rection of the arrows.
Figure 6 is a central transversesection taken 25 through the improved device substantially on the line 6 6 of Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 7 is a fragmentary longitudinal section through a 'modified form of the invention.
Figure 8 is a fragmentary transverse section taken on a reducedscale on the line 8-8 of .Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrows, illustrating the guide for the cord.
Referring to .the drawings in detail, wherein 35 similar reference characters designate vcorresponding parts throughout the several views, the letter A generally indicates myv improved device for facilitating the tying@ of sausage casing ends, and, as shown, the 4same includes a base block l0 0 having a stationary jaw II formed thereon. The active'face of the jaw Il is preferablygrooved, serrated, or otherwise treated so as to form an eiiicient gripping surface. The opposite ends of the block I0 can be provided with attaching feet 45 i or lugs l2, which can be clamped to or -secured y on the work table in any desired manner, such as by the use of screws I3. Formed on each side of the jaw are upstanding side walls I4, the upper edges of whichV have formed therein inclined 50 slots I5 terminating in bearing openings I6.
Removably mounted between the side walls or plates I4 is`a vertically slidable jaw Il. 'I'he lower face of this jaw is preferably provided with a centrally disposed, longitudinally extending rib I 8', which has its lower surface grooved, serrated,
i or otherwise treated to form a companion clamp- 20. The terminals o f the pivot shaft 20 are fit- -ted within the bearing openings I6 formed in the side walls I4 of the base.
Secured to the shaft 20 is the operating handle 2|, and the forward end of the operating handle has formed thereon the actuating cam 22. This cam 22 is adapted to forcibly urge the jaw |1 into its lowered gripping position when the handle 2| is swung to a lowered position, as shown in' Figures l and 2.
The opposite ends of the operating cam 22 have formed thereon cams 23, which are received in cam tracks or ways 24 formed in the inner faces of the side plates I8 of the movable jaw I1. When the handle 2| is swung to an elevated position, the operating cam 22 is moved away from the jaw I1, and the cams 23, working in the cam tracks 24, will lift up the side plates I8 and carry the jaw I1 to an elevated raised position.
As heretofore stated, the device A is secured to a work bench or table at the point where the sausage casing ends are to be tied, and the group of strings S is fed down from a reel and placed between the stationary and movable jaws. Obviously, when the handle 2| is swung to its lowered position, the group of strings S will be rmly held against slipping movement. The casing ends can then be quickly and Vconveniently tied, and after the desired number are tied, the strings S are severed, after which the movable jaw I1 is released, and the group of strings S is again pulled forwardly and clamped.
During the initial placing of the strings S in position, the removable jaw |1 can be removed from the block I0, and after the strings `are in place the jaw I1 can again be placed in position.
To facilitate the initial placing. of the strings in position, the block I0, in rear ofthe movable jaw I1, can carry a guide 25 for the string or cord. The guide 25 is pivotally connected to the block I0 by means of a pivot pin 25', and the guide can be swung open to facilitate the placing of the cords therein. A releasable bale lever 26 is hingedly carried by the block, and is adapted to be swung over the-front part of the guide to hold the same normally against opening movement. i
YIfdesired, the side walls I4 can have pivotally connected thereto bearing blocks 21, the lower faces of which at their forward terminals are recessed for the ends of the shaft 20. These bearing blocks 21 are adjustably held in proper position by means 'of screws 28, which .pass through the blocks 21. The lower ends of the screws are threaded into bosses or webs 29 formed on the outer faces of the walls I4. Thus the blocks 21 can be brought into more or less contact with the shaft terminals by turning the screws 28. u
My improved device forms an exceptionally simple and novel means for holding a plurality of cord ends against movement, and facilitates the tying of sausage casing ends. 'I'he device is so constructed as to operate efilcientlydunder all conditions, and will not vbecome clogged by pieces of meat and the like.
yWhere it is desired to hold a single length of 75 crd, the device can be simpliiied, and in Figure '2 I have shown one of my devices for holding a single cord. i
'I'his device is generally indicated by the reference character M, and includes a stationary block 30. The lblock 30 has formed thereon the side walls 3|, and a jaw face 32 is formed on the block intermediate the side Walls. Slidably received between the side Walls 3| is the movable clamping jaw 33, and this jaw carries upstanding side plates 3`4. l'
Extending through Ythe side plates 34I is the operating' shaft 35, the terminals of which are received within inclined slots 36 formed in the Walls 3|. This shaft carries the cam 31 for forcing the jaw 33 toward the block 3|). This cam has formed thereon or secured' thereto the operating handle 38. Small cams 39 are formed on the ends of the cam 31, and these cams 39 are received within cam tracks 40 formed in the inner faces of the side walls 3|. y
Inthis form of my invention, the block 30 can be provided with an end wall 42 disposed between the side Walls 3|, and this end wall is provided with a guide opening 43 for the string or cord C.
Changes in details may be. made Without departing from the spirit or the scope of my invention, but what I claim as new is:
1. A string-holder comprising a base having a jaw face and upstanding side walls, the side walls being provided with inclined slots terminating-in bearing openings, a movable jaw received between the side walls, a transversely extending shaft loosely carried by the movable jaw and received in the bearingl openings through said slots, a cam on said shaft', a handle carried by the cam for moving said cam into and out of engagement with the movable jaw, and means carried by the cam for forcibly raising the movable jaw when the handle is in its inoperative position.
2. A string-holding device comprising a base having -a jaw face and upstanding side walls, a movable jaw received between said side walls, side plates carried by the movable jaw having cam tracks on their inner faces, a transversely extending shaftrotatably carried by the side walls and loosely extending through the side plates, a cam on said shaft, an operating handle onthe cam for moving the cam into and out of contact with `the movable'jaw, and cams on the terminals of 4ceived between the side walls having a depending rib fitted in the groove, the lower face of the rib being provided with transversely extending "grooves, side plates carried by the movable jaw, a
