BALE TIE.

UNITED STATES PATENT @rEicE.
MELVIN D. KILMER, OF SCHENEGTADY, NE? YORK, ASSIGNOE TO THE KILMER MANUFACTURING 00., OF SAME PLACE.
BALE-TIE.
SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No, 372,376, dated November 1, 1887.
Application filed June 512, 1887. Serial No. 242,161 (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, llIEININ D. KILMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at S0116 nectady, in the county of Schenectady and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bale-Ties; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The figure represents a perspective view of the device as it is when in use.
This invention relates to animprovement in the device contained in United States Patent No. 186,579, wherein is an arrow-head pivoted to one end of the wire of the band and caught in the loop of the other end. In this device the rear of the arrow-head is notched, so as to have two rearwardly-projecting points; also, the hole in the head for the wire isjust large enough to allow one strand to pass through.
In the annexed drawing, the letter A indicates a wire band having the head B. This is triangular, as shown, having the rounded corners b b If and the straight edges 0 c c. It will be seen that the rear edge, e", isnot notched, as in the patent referred to, but is straight across from corner I) to corner If,- also, the hole (Z in this head is madelarge enough to hold two or more strands of wire, as shown in the drawing, where C is a second wire.
The head B is connected to the main wire A by passing an end, a, of the wire through the hole (1 and forming a loop, (1. This loop is made so that its length is much less than onehalf of the length of the edge 0 of the head 13. By this construction the head hasavery slight movement on the wire A sufficient to allow the head to be inserted through the loop a, but not to pivot so as to turn or slip when the band is in place on a bale.
I am aware that a bale-tie having a head with rounded corners is old, and also one where the retaining-loop hasa length less than one-halfof that of the rear edge of the head, and I lay no claim to these features per 30. However, when applied to such a head as mine they possess peculiar advantages. In the old devices there is a tendency for the head to pivot, turn, or slip when the band is in place. In such old device the strain on the band when around a bale constantly tends to turn the head. My construction prevents this, and the rounded corners do not catch into the covering of the bale.
Vhat I claim is 1. The head B, having the three rounded corners b Z) I) and hole (1, in combination with the wire A, connected to the head B by its loop (1, and having the catching-loop a, as set forth 2. The head B, having the three straight edges 0 c c and hole (Z, in combination with the wire A, having the loop (1, by which the head is held to the wire, the length of such loop being less than one-half of that of the edge e", as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
MELVIN D. KILMER.
