BPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 388,761, dated August 28, 1888.
Application filed April 16, 1888. Serial No, 270,741. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Beit known that I, THOMAS M. COBB, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bee-Hives; and I do doclare 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 drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in beehives; and it relates more particularly to the means of securing together the frames that are provided for holding the surplus-honey sections or cases; and the novelty resides in the peculiar combinations and in the novel construction, ar rangement, and adaptation of parts, all as more fully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and then particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a side view of thesurplus-honey chamber of a bee-hive, consisting of a series of detachable frames for holding the honey sections or cases. Fig. 2 is a section on line mm of Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of one of the keepers removed. Fig. i is a plan view of the surplus-honey chamber; and Fig. 5 is adetail perspective view upon an enlarged scale, showing the frames separated, but in their relative positions.
Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A A designate opposite sides of the surplus-honey chamber of a bee-hive, and a a represent the detachable frames intended for holding the surplus honey sections.
Each of the frames a is provided with a strip, B, on its outer face, said strip extending upon each side beyond the edge of the frame to which it is attached a sufficient distance to contact with the edge of the next adjacent strip B when the intermediate frames, a, shall have been inserted and the several frames have been drawn together into position for locking.
It will be observed that in arranging the frames the frames a and a alternate, and that each alternate frame a is provided upon its outer face with two staples or hooks, C, which are extended horizontally, one upon each side, beyond the edges of the frame a, and that they are received within suitable slots or recesses, g, formed within the flanged portion of the pieces B upon the adjacent frann-s. The flanged or overlapping portions of the pieces 13 are each formed upon their outer face with a channel, (1, slightly undercut, as shown, and in this channel is designed to rest the keeper D, formed preferably of wire, with a thumbpiece, 6, by which it is handled, and is also bent into the form shown, forming the camsurface f, which is designed to engage the hook or staple G, as shown in Fig. 1, to draw the frames together and serve to hold the same in position.
The slide A of the honey-chamber is provided with a recess, L, to receive the overlapping edge of the piece 13 of the adjacent frame, a, and is provided with asingle staple, O, which is adapted to fit within the slot 9 of the adjacent frame in locking said frame to theside of the chamber.
The side A of the chamber is provided with a flange or extension, A, adapted to overlap the adjacent frame, a, and the outer face of said flange is provided with a recess, g, to receive the staple upon said section, and the parts are secured together in the manner described for securing together the adjacent frames.
By the above construction the frames may be quickly and easily taken apart or put together when desired, the securing means be ing simple and inexpensive and not liable to get out of order.
WVhat I claim as new isl. The combination, with the end frame having a slot, as described, of the adjoining frame provided with a hook, as shown, and the keeper having a cam surface engaging said hook, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in 3.
