OLIVER W. GRIFFITHS, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
PACKAGE-CARRIER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 317,640, dated May 12, 1885.
Application filed September 27, 1884.
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, OLIVER W. GRIFFITHS, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in PackageCarriers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
The object of this invention is to improve and cheapen package-carriers in their construction, and at the same time have them strong and durable, as well as being light, easily attached to or detached from a bound package; and it consists in the construction of the carrier, as will be fully hereinafter described. H In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a top view of the carrier. Fig. 2 represents an upright sectional view of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents an end view of same, and Fig. 4 represents a modification in the construction.
A represents the handle or hand-hold, which may be of any kind of wood or other suitable material, and made in such form as to be easy in the hand when the carrier is attached to a bound package or bundle.
B B are metal bent wires, having pointed shanks b driven into the ends of the handhold A, as seen in Fig. 2. Holes for receiv ing the shanks b may be bored a part of their length, when desired; but they must be permanently fixed in the hand-hold A. These bent wires drop down at or nearly at right angles to the axis of the hand-hold to any desired distance, some lower than others, as circumstances may demand, to give room for the fingers, and then bent to form hooks O, as seen in Figs. 2 and 3, while the hooks C are turned or bent to one side, as seen in Fig. 1, in order to facilitate the insertion of the ends of the hooks at 0 under the cord. or cords that bind the package, and especially where the binding-cord goes around the package longitudinally and in the middle of the width of (No model.)
the package, and then by inserting the hook at one end under the binding-cord, and then giving the carrier a half-turn before hooking the opposite hook under the binding-cord, will make the attachment more secure against slipping or becoming detached from the hind ing-cord. In some instances the hooks 0 may turn completely around the straight upright part of B, as seen in Fig. 2 in dotted lines, and leaving space enough between the bend in the hook and the straight part to freely admit the binding-cord to pass into the hook O. \Vhen this is so turned, it will not be necessary to turn the carrier half round, as the form of this bend will prevent the bindingcord from getting out of the hook (U.
The bent wire 13 in some instances may go entirely through the entire length of the handhold A, and the hooks 0 formed thereon, after the wire is inserted in the longitudinal hole in the handle, as seen in Fig. 4; but I prefer having the hooks separate, or one for each end of the hand-hold, and whichever con struction is adopted the hooks must be bent to one side or horizontally, as seen in Fig. 1.
I am aware of Patent No. 267,303, and I disclaim the construction therein shown and claimed, as I do not use a screw-threaded shank to screw into the handle, nor a spring at the end of the hook; but,
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A package-carrier composed of the combination of the handle or hand-hold A. with the bent wire or wires B, having hooks O, that are bent or turned to one side at their outer ends, as and for the purpose described.
In testimonywhereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
