WIRE HOLDER FOR INSULATORS.

EDIVIN L. LLOYD, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
WIRE-HOLDER FOR INSULATORS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 394,380, dated December l1, 1888. Application tiled February 13, 1888. Serial No. 263,777. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it knownl that I, EDWIN L. LLOYD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, h( ve invented certain Improvements in IVire-I'Iolders for Insulators, of which t-he following is a speeitiea-tion.
The object of Iny invention is to so construct a wire-holder for insulators that the stringing of the wire and the tightening of the same from pole to pole can be readily effected, and so that the wire will be firmly retained after its application to the insulator. This obj ect I attain in the manner hereinafter set forth, reference being had to the aecompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of an insulator with a wire-holder constructed in acl cordance with my invention. Fig. '2 is a sectional plan view of the same, with the wire and its holder shown in outside view 5 and Fig'. 3 is a similar view showing another form of the holder.
A represents the glass insulator, of the usual forni, having near the top a groove, a, which ordinarily receives the tying-wire, whereby the wire is conlined to the insulator. loop, B, having at each end an open eye, b, for the reception of the wire In stringing the latter it Inay simply be passed behind the eyes and drawn tight from pole to pole, the wire being then drawn forward infront of each eye and slipped over the projecting' hook d', in which the eye terminates, so that the wire will enter the opposite eyes, and will be retained thereby against displacement in any direction. By the terin open eye, therefore, I Inean one into which the wire can be readily slipped without having to be passed through the saine endwise, and yetwhich conines the wire on all sides-that is to say, on top, bottom, front, and rear-so that while the ready application of the wire is permitted, the latter, after having been once applied to the holder, cannot be accidentally dislodged therefrom. My improved holder in this respect, therefore, diifers essentially from one which has been proposed, and which consists simply of a loop with its ends turned back to hold the wire, as t-he hooks formed by such turning back of the ends of the loop fail to properly retain the wire after it has been applied thereto.
In some cases the loop niay have an open eye at one end only, the other end being straight, as in Fig. S, so that, as shown byfull lines in said figure, the holder supports the ire while it is being' stretched, after which tension is imparted to the straight end of the loop, and said end is coiled around the wire so as to bring the parts to the eondit ion shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3, thus securely vonining the wire to the insulator.
I therefore elaiin as nIy inventionl. The witliin-described wire-holder for insulators, the saine eonsistingot' a looirihaving a wire-receiving eye open for theinsert'ion ot' the wire, but having portions extending below, in front of, above, and in rear ot' a wire passing through the eye, all substantially as specified.
2. The combination of the insulator having a groovebelow the top with the wire and a holder therefor, consisting of a loop eon- In place of this tying-wire I use a wire tained in the groove of the insulator and having at its ends eyes for retaining the wire, one of said eyes being open for the insertion of the wire, but extending below, in front ot', above, and in rear of the wire to eontine the saine, all substantially asspecitied.
3. The Combination of the insulator having a groove below the top, the wire, and the holder therefor, consisting' of a loop contain ed in the groove and having' at each end an eye to retain the wire, said eye bein open t'or the insertion of the wire, but extending below, in front of, above, and in rear ot' the wire, all substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed nly naine to this specification in the presence o l two subscribing witnesses.
EDIYIN L. LLOYD.
