Description

May 16, 1939. J. A. DAVISSON WIRE S TRETCHER Filed Nov. 1, 1937 Jofiiz A 200235022,
INVENTOR m;am%
ATTO R N EYS Patented May 16, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to wire stretchers and has for an object to provide a wire stretcher which may be set up in minimum time, which may be operated by one man, and which is adapted to uniformly stretch a plurality of Wires simultaneously.
A further object is to provide a device of this character which will be formed of a few strong simple and durable parts, which will be inexpensive to manufacture, and which will not easily get out of order.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claim without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification:
Figure l is a plan view of a wire stretcher constructed in accordance with the invention in applied position.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the wire stretcher shown in Figure 1.
Referring now to the drawing in which like characters of reference designate similar parts in the various views, I designates a handle lever having one end provided with a toothed plate I I which is adapted to be placed in engagement with a fence post I2.
An eye bolt I3 is engaged through the handle and inter-engages with a clevis I4 which is connected to a bar I5 at substantially the center thereof and near one longitudinal edge thereof,
as best shown in Figure 2.
A plurality of wire clamps are secured to the bar, each preferably comprising a pair of crossed levers I6, best shown in Figure 1, which terminate in jaws I1, said jaws being connected together by a pivot pin Ill. The jaw of one lever is equipped with teeth I9 which oppose an anvil formed on the jaw of the mating lever. The fence wire 2| is tightly gripped between the teeth and the anvil whenthe jaws are closed.
The levers I6 of each wire clamp are provided with respective rings 22 which inter-engage with a common ring 23. The common ring is inter-- engaged with an eye bolt 24 which is swivelly mounted in a collar 25 having an eye 26 integral therewith. Said eye 26 is connected to the bar I5 by a clevis 21.
Preferably a plurality of wire clamps are attached to the bar I5, three of such clamps being shown, one near each end and one near the center of the clamp. Additional openings 28 are formed in the bar to receive additional wire clamps so that any number of strands of wire, or woven fence wire may be gripped for stretching.
In operation the strands 2| of wire or woven fence wire may be inserted between the heads or jaws of the wire clamps and thereupon the toothed fulcrum plate I I of the handle lever may be pressed against the side of the post, as best shown in Figure 1. When the lever is rocked on the post the wire strands will be stretched uniformly and evenly, the flexible joints between the wire clamps, bar, and handle lever permitting of the wire clamps assuming positions which will most efiectively stretch the wire uniformly without distortion.
From the above description it is thought that the construction and operation of the invention will be fully understood without further explanation.
What is claimed is:
A wire stretcher comprising a handle lever, a toothed plate at one end of the handle lever adapted to be placed in engagement with a fence post, an eye bolt engaged through the handle lever, a clevis in interengagement with the eye bolt, a bar carried by the clevis, said clevis being located at substantially the center of the bar near one longitudinal edge thereof, a second clevis carried by the bar disposed upon the other longitudinal edge of the bar opposite the first named clevis, an eye bolt, a collar swivelly mounting the last named eye bolt and having an eye connected to the second named clevis, and a wire clamp secured to the last named eye bolt.
