Description

BALE BAND BUCKLE ,Filed Sept. 1, 1943 J WBuckZe y IN V EN TOR.
Patented Nov. 7, 1944 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to buckles or ties designed for use in securing the endsof blade bands, used in baling cotton or similar materials.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a bale buckle which may be stamped from a length of sheet metal material, and formed in such a way that the edges of the buckle will not cut or damage the band used with the buckle, when excessive pressure is directed to the hand, during tensioning of the band, or during the creeping of the band, after the baling pressure has been relieved.
Another object of the invention is to provide a buckle which will be pressed against the bale preventing, to a degree, crawling of the tie.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein described, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention,
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is an elevational view of the buckle constructed in accordance with the invention, and illustrating the bale band as secured thereto.
Figure 2 is a plan view thereof.
Figure 3 is a sectional View taken on line 3--3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on line 44 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the buckle comprises a body portion 5 which is stamped from a length of sheet metal material of substantially rectangular formation.
In the formation of the body portion, a central elongated opening 6 is provided, as well as an inwardly extended" cutaway portion 1 extending to the central elongated opening. 6, the cutaway portion 1 being disposed substantially intermediate the ends of the body portion at one side thereof, providing an entrance opening to the elongated opening 6, to permit the band used with,
the buckle, to be slid into position in said cutaway portion.
Portions of the'body portion are extended upwardly at oblique angles with respect to the bottom of the buckle proper, as at 8, for purposes to be hereinafter more fully described.
In order that the body portion will be strengthened to withstand excessive pressure directed to the buckle, during the baling operation, the base of the body portion is bent or formed to provide reinforcing sections 9 adjacent to the ends of the body portion.
The reference character ll] designates a bale 9 band, which is connected with the buckle in such a way that the band will not slip over the buckle, after the bale has been formed.
It will be seen that because the longitudinal side edges of' the body portion are extended upwardly at oblique angles, the bale band which is secured to the buckle, will contact with the edges of the elongated opening 6, and upper edges of the upwardly extended portion 8 of the body, as shown by Fig. 3. This structure reduces the possibility of the sharp edges of the buckle cutting the band at the points of contact therewith, owing to the fact that the band is only bent slightly at the points of contact with the buckle, and not bent abruptly at the points of contact with the edges of the buckle, as is usual with buckles and bands now employed in baling, to the end that the possibilities of shearing or cutting the band, are remote.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
In a bale band buckle, a rectangular body constructed of sheet metal material, said body having an opening formed therein, the opening being elongated longitudinally of the body and arranged intermediate the side edges thereof, portions of the body along the longitudinal edges thereof being extended upwardly and outwardly in opposite directions, presenting sharp steel band engaging edges, and a substantially flat bale band engaging bottom, and said body being formed with a cutaway portion extending inwardly to the elongated opening from the edge of the body.
