Description
May 19, 1959 L. A. SHIELD WOVEN WIRE spucmc: MEANS Filed Nov. 29, 1955 INVENTOR.
L4 WREECE A. 8111511) ATTORNEY I/Vz'zness.
Un t t s: Palm This invention relates to a means for joiningtwo lengths of wire together and more particularly to a clamp structure for securing two :ends of woven or mesh wire together. a a
The securing together of the ends of wires has always been a problem. The usual method is to twist the two adjacent ends of the wires together with a tool such as a pair of pliers. Often, however, this bending and twisting of the wire weakens or breaks it. While such a method is possible in single strands, it is almost impossible in the matter of Woven wire. The reason for this is that a multiplicity of strands are with their complementary strands and strands so joined does not take the exact same amount of overlap, certain of the joined strands will be longer or shorter than others, and a very distorted mesh wire length will result. Also the joining of so many difiicult task requiring both time and skill. Therefore, one of the principal objects of my invention is to provide a woven wire splicing means that accurately secures all the strands together in a uniform equal length manner.
if each pair of present and all must be joined and 11. After this strands is a most A further object of this invention is to provide a wire strand splicing device that secures the strands together without twisting or breaking.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a woven wire splicing means that is rapid and does not require the services of a skilled workman.
A still further object of this invention is to provide a woven or mesh wire splicing means that, when desired, may be removed as easily and quickly as it was to install in the first instance.
Still further objects of this invention are to provide a wire connecting means that is economical in manufacture, durable in use and refined in appearance.
These and other objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
My invention consists in the construction, arrangements, and combination, of the various parts of the device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained as hereinafter more fully set forth, specifically pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. l is a perspective view of my means for connecting fencing with a section removed for conserving space,
Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross sectional view of the device taken on line 2-2 of Fig. l, and more fully illustrates its construction, and
Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross sectional view of my invention, taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
In constructing my device I take two lengths of ordinary channel iron designated by the numerals 10 and 11, respectively. These channel irons are U-shaped in crosssection and are placed face to face as shown in Fig. 1. Between and inside the two channel irons 10 and 11, I have a bar 12 rectangular in cross section. The numeral 13 designates a plurality of bolt means extending through the members 10, 11 and 12 as shown in Fig. 2. Obviresult in the bending of the wire strands 2,887,333 P en e 119. 1 5
ously when these bolts are tightened, thetwo channel irons 10 and 11, will be drawn toward each otherwith the bar 12 imposed therein. The cross sectional area inside the two channel irons 10 and 11 is substantially greater than that of the cross sectional area of the rectangular bar 12. As herebefore indicated my device is for quickly joining together the two ends of a woven wire fence. I have used the numeral 14 to designate a woven or meshed fence having the usual single horizontal strands 15.
The practical operation of my device is as follows; With the parts separated, the two end portions of the fence are arranged in overlapping condition ;with;the member 10 at one side of the strands 15 that are over: lapping each-other. Next, the member 11 is. placed on the other side of the overlapping strands, facing the member 10, and with the bar 12 between the two members 10 arrangement of parts the bolt means 13 are placed through the members ,10, 11 and 12. Merely by tightening the bolt means, the two members 10 and 11 will be drawn toward each other. This action will within the members 10 and 11, i.e., the strands to pass through the members 10 and 1 1.will have to follow a tortuous'path around the bar 12 as shown in Fig. 3.. With such a bend in each strand, it cannot pull through my device. Also the strands will be clamp wedged between thebar and the adjacent inner side of a channel iron. If desired registering notches 16 may be formed in the flange edge portions of one or both of the angle irons for the passage of the strands 15 into and out of the clamp means as shownin Fig. 1. If desired, one adjacent strand may be placed to extend around the bar 12 in one direction, and the other adjacent strand arranged to extend around the bar 12in the other direction as shown in Fig. 3. a
With my device all the wire strands will be spliced or joined simultaneously merely by tightening the bolt means 13. The joining of the ends of two pieces of woven wire will be uniform and there will be no distortions in the fence at each side of my clamping means. Inasmuch as the strands are not twisted together, they will remain strong and unbroken. The assembly will be neat and attractive. To remove the device it is only necessary to detach the bolt means, or at least loosen them sufliciently for the strands 15 to be withdrawn from the unit.
Some changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of my woven wire splicing means without departing from the real spirit and purpose of my invention, and it is my intention to cover by my claims, any modified forms of structure or use of mechanical equivalents which may be reasonably included within their scope.
I claim:
