1 Claim.
This invention consists of a hand iid having for an object to greatly expedite rope splicing operation, at the same time facilitating training or threading of the d and its strand through the rope body in a single continuous operation.
It is also within the contemplation of this invention to provide a hand iid especially adapted for rapid and positive repair operations, as required on board ship, since the splice carrying d is completely movable through the rope without interruption or the necessity of retracting the iid once the operation has been initiated.
The iid is of simple inexpensive construction capable of eiective use even by a person unskilled in the art, the threading strand being positively held from displacement while urged between juxtaposed strands of the rope, disengagement of the iid from its strand being automatically effected as soon as the iid clears the said juxtaposed strands.
Other objects of the invention will be manifest from the following description of the present preferred form of the invention, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a hand d constructed in accordance with the present invention, illustrating its application;
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the iid, per se;
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the iid taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2 showing a fragment of a rope strand in the d recess;
- Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the iid with its lid removed; and
Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view of the d` taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3 showing a strand of rope mounted therein.
The device of the present invention consists of a body 5 which may be made of wood or other suitable material. The body is of generally cylindrical configuration, one end 6 thereof being pointed. The opposite end is provided with an axial recess 1 extending from the butt terminal of the body to a point approximately midway the ends of the latter. The recess is of suicient depth to accommodate a strand 8 of rope. In order to prevent displacement of the strand, I employ a suitable cover or lid 9 for the recess which serves as a clamp to urge the strand 8 against the Wall of the recess 1 before and during the threading operation of thestrand. The cover 9 may be made of metal or other suitable material, the inner end thereof being hinged, as indicated at I0, permitting the free end of the lid to be swung away from the body preparatory to inserting the strand 8 in the recess l. The inner wall of the recess 'I is dipped to provide a finger engaging depression Il to facilitate sliding axial `movement of the body, as well as lateral'rocking movement While forcing the d through the rope.
In use of this invention, a strand 8 which is adapted to be threaded through adjacent strands of a rope, is deposited in the recess l, and the lid 9 closed thereover in an obvious manner. The pointed end 6 of the d body is then urged between adjacent strands I2 of a rope. The ngers of the operator are held in engagement with the lid 9 until the latter reaches the zone of the strands l2. The thumb or thumbs (depending on the amount of pressure to be applied) of the operator, is or are engaged with the butt end of the body to urgethe latter through the strands I2. As soon as the butt end of the body has cleared the rope strands, pressure on the lid 9, is released, correspondingly releasing the threading strand 8. Of course, at the completion of this cycle of operation, the threading strand 8 has been drawn through the adjacent strands I2 of the rope sufciently for the free end of the threading strand to be grasped by the operator and urged through the rope strands to any desired point.
Although I have herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of this invention, it is of course to be understood that various changes may be made therein, within the scope of the claim hereto appended.
What is claimed is:
A hand iid for rope splicing including a body, one end of which is pointed to facilitate its engagement between adjacent rope strands, the opposite end of the rld being recessed to receive a y strand to be threaded, the inner terminal wall of VENANCIO ADRIAS, II,
