IMPLEMENT FOR DRIVING AND CLINCHING STAPLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,346. dated May 3, 1887. Application filed November 523, 1886. Serial No. 219,670. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, WESLEY YOUNG and CHARLES M. WETZEL, both of Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Implements for Driving and Olinching Staples; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the figures and letters of reference marked thereon.
This invention relates to improvements in wire-cutting devices, adapted particularly for application to implements for drivingstaplessuch, for instance, as shown in Patent No. 317 ,480, granted May 5,1885,to \Vesley Young; and it consists in certain novelties of construetion, all of which will be hereinafter pointed staple-driver, showing the application of our invention thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the cutting devices, and Figs. 3 and 4 detail views of the same.
Similar letters of reference in the several figures indicate the same parts.
We have preferably shown the invention a plied to the patentedimplement referred to, and design it particularly for application thereto; but it is obvious that a device possessing its characteristics could be employed or a special construction of device provided, if desired.
A represents the stock of the implement; B, the base-piece secured thereon; G, the feedbar carried thereby,on which the staples to be driven are placed; D,the arm constituting the bearing for the operators leg when operating the driver; E, the driving-plunger, and F the weighted handle for the'same, all said parts being constructed as shown in the prior patent referred to, except in the particulars hereinafter mentioned.
The lower part of the stock is cut away or provided with the open-sided recess at A, so as to expose the side of the longitudinal slot G, in which the plunger E operates. The side of this recess is open, and it extends transversely across the slot in which the plunger operates, so as to permit access to it fronithe front, and a cutting-jaw, H, of steel or other suitable material, is secured to the stock in any preferred manner, as shown. The side of this cutting'jaw is arranged flush with the side of the plunger-slot, so as not to obstruct the free play of the plunger, and its cutting-edge I is arranged so as to co-operate with the end of the plunger to sever a wire or wires placed between them. To facilitate the entrance of the wire to the cutting-jaws formed by the plunger and plate or side of the recess, the jaw H is provided with an extension, K ,which projects over the recess and serves to direct and guidethe wire up to the recess or cutaway portion A, as will be readily understood. The face of the cutting-edge is preferably beveled slightly, and by filing it from time to time it maybe kept sharp. But one edge of the plunger end, of course, co-operates with the edge of the cutter H at a time, though the plunger can be withdrawn from the stock and turned over before being reinserted therein, so as to bring the other edge of its end into play; andwhen either or both become dull they can be readily resharpened.
To sever a wire introduced in the open-sided recess A, as described, it is only necessary to draw back the plunger and then force it sharply forward, the end crowding the wire against the side of the recess formed by the cutter and severing it, and so admirably do the cutters work that a large wire may be severed with the greatest ease. This cutting device applied to a stapledriver used extensively in making wire fences is found particularly advantageous, as it enables a workman to carry on the work of fencemaking, cutting the wires when necessary and driving staples with the greatest facility.
Of course we do not desire to be limited to driver, as any device possessing its characteristics might be employed without departing from the spirit of our invention.
What we claim as new is- 1. The combination, with the stock having the plunger-slot, of a transverse open-sided reing onboth sides of the same, the cutting-jaw arranged on one side said recess, and the cooperating plunger, whereby a piece of wire cess intersecting the plunger-slot and extendthe application of the invention to a staple- XCO may be inserted in the open side of the recess and by a stroke of the plunger severed, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with the stock having the plunger-slot, ofa transverse open-sided recess intersecting the plungerslot and extending on both sides of the same, the cutter ar ranged on one side of the recess, having the extension for facilitating the entrance of the wire, and the cooperating plunger adapted to reciprocate in the plunger-slot, substantially as described.
3. The combination, with a staple-driver consisting of a stock having a longitudinal slot and a driving-plunger operating therein, 15 of a transverse open-sided recess intersecting the plunger-slot and extending on both sides thereof, whereby a wire may be placed in the recess and severed by a reciprocation of the plunger, the end of the latter and the side of 20 the recess cooperating as cutters,substantiall y as described.
