WIRE-STRETCHER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 418,794, dated January 7, 1890.
Application filed September 19, 1889. Serial No. 324,407. (No model.)
Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVire-Stretchers; 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.
My invention relates to Wire-stretchers, and the novelty will be fully understood from the following description and claims, when taken in connection with the annexed drawings, in which- I Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improved wire-stretcher applied to a fence-post, the wire being shown in place within the mouth of the stretcher, and the lever-handle being drawn upon to cause the wire to be clamped or held in the mouth or between the jaws of the stretcher. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the stretcher, showing the shouldered dog and the operating lever or handle in alignment. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view showing the dog, the operating-lever handle, and
the curved connecting strap or brace; and
Fig. 4 is a detail perspective View of the shouldered dog detached from the lever-handle.
Referring by letter to the said drawings,
A designatesthe shouldered dog which com prises the body portion B, which is provided with an inclined shoulder or jaw D on the upper face or side at the inner end, and an integral forwardly-proj ectin g arm 0, having a claw or toe F at its end, which claw or toe F projects in the direction of the incline of the shoulder or jaw D. Near its other end the shouldered dog A is provided with an inclined edge H, which lies parallel with the incline of the shoulder or jaw D, and extends 0 projects. Thedog A is pivoted to the lower face of the inner end of the lever-handle and slightly to the right of the longitudinal middle line of thewidened portion K of said lever-handle.
The same pivot-bolt L that connects the shouldered dog to the lever-handle serves also to fix in place the outer or front end of the curved metal stop-strap M, the inner or rear end of said stop-strap being secured to the widened portion of the lever-handle by a bolt or rivet N.
In operation the toe of the shouldered dog is placed against the fence-post or other object, and the wire to be stretched is placed in the recess between the shoulder of the dog and the inclined end of the handle-lever, and when said handle-lever is drawn upon its inner inclined end will close upon the wire and bite or clamp it firmly, so that by continuing to pull on the lever-handle the wire will be stretched or made taut to the extent that may be necessary or desired.
Having described my invention, what I desire toclaim and secure by Letters Patent As an improved article of manufacture, the wire-stretcher described, consisting, essentially, of a dog having the inclined shoulder D, the integral arm ,0, projecting forwardly therefrom and provided with a toe F, the 1nclined edge H and rearwardly -extending presence of two witnesses.
