WIRE NAIL.
EiPE-UIFICATION fanning part of Letters Patent No. 340.692, dated April 27, 1886.
Application filed Januaryi, 1856. Serial No. 187.627. (No model.)
To all whom it may. concern: I
Be it known that 1, CHARLES E. BAILEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in \Vire Nails; and l I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such g as will enable others skilled in the art to which i it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention relates, prima rily, to the production of an improved wire nail, escutcheonpin, and other similiar articles; and it consists in forming a nail or pin having a shank provided with an alternate series of longitudinal ridges and channels its entire length from head to point; also forming a head upon said shank, partaking substantially of the form or configuration of the shank, substantially as hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
Figures]. and 3 are perspective views of my improved nail. Figs. 2 and trepreseut crosssections of the same. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of my improved nail provided with a rounded head.
In carrying out my invention the nail A is made from wire, consisting of the head I) and shank a, the latter being formed with an al- 5 ternate series of longitudinal ridges, c, and channels '0 its entire length, from head to point, as fully shown in the drawings.
The ridges and channels are formed on the shank by proper machinery, and may be formed of a variety of shapes, Fig. 1 showing concave channels and convex ridges, and Fig. i 3 angular forms, these two shapes being pre- 1 ferred by reason of the simplicity of construction. l
The shank a may be provided with the ridges c and channels 6 previous to heading, in which case the edge d of the head will approximate substantially the form or configura tion of the shank, thus producing various ornamental effect without additional cost.
The shank a may be headed in the usual manner of escutcheoupins, as shown in Fig. 5. By means of my improvementI am enabled ito produce a nail which will remain in the material into which ,it is secured without I danger of turning laterally, this being an es pecial advantage in furniture-nails where itis desirable to have all the heads remain in a like position as at first driven in. The nail is also stronger with less weight of .metal, as the ridges serve to strengthen or brace the shank against a lateral strain in driving,which is a great advantage over the plain shank nails now in use. The shank is pointed to readily enter material. The variety of forms of ridges and channels which may be employed render the formation of any particular shape of head easily accomplished with less cutting and trimming than at present, and astrong and durable article is thus furnished at a small cost.
I claim- 1. A nail made from wire and provided with longitudinal ridges and channels, said nail being provided with an integral head of substantially the same configuration as the shank, substantially as herein set forth.
2. The nail A, consisting of the shank (1, provided with the longitudinal ridges c and channels e, and provided with the head b, having corresponding ridges and channels, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I atfix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES E. BAILEY.
