FENCE WlRE COUPLENG.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 311A80, dated February 3, 1885.
Application filed April 28, 1884.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, NASON H. FULLER and HENRY S. HALLOOK, of Menlo, in the county of Guthrie and State of Iowa, have invented a Fence-W'ire Coupling, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to the manner of constructing a device for detachably connecting the ends of fence-wires between two posts, so that the panel can be opened at pleasure to produce apassageway through the fence for persons, animals, and Vehicles.
Heretofore a metal lever, having a double elbow at its central portion, a rack at one end, and a hook at its opposite end, has been pivoted to a fence-wire by means of a loop or link attached at its central bent portion for the purpose of coupling and regulating the tension of a fence-wire. To avoid the labor and cost of casting a lever of such form in a mold, or of shapingit by forging, wedispense with the rack at the end and the double elbow in the central portion, and form a device adapted for the purpose contemplated by simply bending a straight rod to produce a lever having an eye at one end and a hook at the other and a hook at its central portion, and combine it with two links and the two ends of a wire -fence rail, as hereinafter fully set forth.
Figure l of our accompanying drawings is an enlarged view of our device. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing it in practical use. Together these figures clearly illustrate the construction, application, operation, and utility of our complete invention.
A is a metal rod, preferablyof round iron, bent double at one end and welded together where it overlaps.
B is an eye formed at the double end, and G a hook at some distance from the eye.
D is a hook formed on the end opposite from the eye to extend laterally, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.
No. 1 is an elongated metal link fixed in the eye B and to the end of a wire. No. 2 is a corresponding link fixed to the other end of the wire-fence rail that is to be connected and disconnected at pleasure with the hook C of (No model.)
the lever A, as required, to speedily open and close a gateway in a wire fence.
To connect the two ends of a wire-fence rail that is severed between two posts to which it is fixed by means of our coupling device applied as shown and described, we simply lift both ends to the point of elevation at which they are fixed to the posts, and then turn the rod or lever A in the link No. 1 toward the link No. 2, and slip that link upon the hook G, and then turn the lever in a reverse way down upon the fence-wire, so that the links Nos. 1 and 2 will overlap each other and the lever lie fiat upon the wire, after the wire has been inserted in the hook D at its end, clearly shown in Fig. 2.
To disconnect the wires, we simply press the hooks D from the wires, and turn thelevers in the links No. 1 to relax the tension of the rails, and then slip the-links No. 2 from the hooks O.
The ilexible connection of the links with the ends of the wires and thelever greatly facilitates the operation of coupling and uncoupling.
By dispensing with the rack. on the end of the lever for regulating the tension of the wire and connecting the lever with the wires by means of interveninglinks,in place ofloops on the ends of the wires, there will be less strain and wear on the wire. The links that come in contact with the lever as it is operated are subjected to much of the friction and wear, are heavier than the wire, and capable of en'- during more wear and strain than the wire,as required to preserve the complete coupling and rail.
Vv e claim as our invention- The improved fence-wire coupling, consisting of a metal rod, A, bent double at one end to produce a hook, C, and an eye, B, in which a link is inelosed, and bent at its opposite end to produce a laterally-extending hook, D, substantially as shown and described.
