UNITE STATES PATENT Trionfo JOHN W. NADELHOFFER, OF JOLIET, ILLINOIS.
STRETCHER FOR WIRE FENCES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 303,312, dated August l2, 1884.
Application filed January 29, 1384. (No model.)
.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN W. NADELHOFFER,
a citizen ofthe United States of America, re-
siding at Joliet, in the county of Will and 5 State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Stretcher for Wire Fences, of which the following is a specication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
Figure l is a perspective view; Fig. 2, a front view of the link C and dog B, and Fig. 3 a plan view on the top of said link and dog detached from the lever P.
This invention relates to certain improve ments in wire-stretehers forwire fences, which improvements I will proceed to explain.
Referring to the drawings, P represents a lever having a curved point or end, P', to hook around a fence-post, A. A link, C, is pivoted tothe lever P, as shown in Fig. l. To the outer end of link C, at one side, is eccentrically pivot-ed a dog, B, at C. The'pivoted end of dog B is provided on either side with ,serra tions to stand opposite similar serration's on the side of link C, between which scrrations the fence-wire W is held by compression between the eccentrically-arranged end of dog VB and link C. After the fence-wire WV is thus secured,.the curved end P of lever P is passed behind the fence-post A for aleverage to pull on the wire W to stretch it, so that it can be nailed to the posts. The hook P will slide around behind the post, and the joint formed by pivoting or hinging the link C to the lever P, as shown, will permit the fence-wire to be brought up and in contact with the face of the post, so that it can be readily secured by a nail, staple, or otherwise, without crimping or bending the wire at the place where it is held by the dog, which would have a tendency to break the wire at that place; also, by hav ing the link O joint-ed or pivoted to the lever, as shown, the device may be used on an old fence at any intermediate post between the 4 5 ends, and the wire maybe grasped and pulled forward in a straight line without bending or crimping it to injure it. The overhanging lips Bprevent the wire from falling out from between the dog and the link. Wfhile the hook P is being passed around the post, the wire W is held aloof from the posts until the 'slack is taken up in the wire, so as not to break or displace the barbs; also, in stretching the wireY no vertical motion is given the wire; but it is stretched in a horizontal direction, so that when it is fully stretched it can be at once nailed or fastened to the post at which the stretcher is applied.
rI hc dog and link are provided with the double serrations for holding the Wire, so that the stretcher can be used on either side ofthe post, as such arrangement makes it handy to insert the wire on the upper side ofthe lever, as shown on either side of the post.
The great object of having the lever P terminate in the hook P and pivoting the link C back a distance from the heel of said hook is to prevent the lever from sliding on the post and letting the link C come up in cone tact with the post until the wire has beenv stretched, which prevents the wire from being crimped and broken where it is grasped by the dog B, as before stated. If the lever were straight at the place where it is curved, this object could not be accomplished.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new,Y and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows, to wit:
A wire-stretcher formed of the lever P, having the curved or hooked end P, link C, pivoted to said lever P a little distance from the heel of said hook, and dog B, having the lips JOHN W'. NADELHOFFER. Y
