LEATHER-HANGING FRAM E.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 457,014, dated August 4, 1891. Application filed June 19, 1890. Serial No; 356,027. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, BENEARD SCHNEPP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the county. of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Carrying and Hanging Leather; and I do declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the artto which it appertainsto 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.
My invention relates to devices for hanging sides of leather; and it consists in the novel construction of hanging-frame with adj ustable hooks for holding the sides in proper position for drying, substantially as hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the subjoined claim.
Hides of leather intended for sole, saddle, or harness purposes in the process of dressing are slit through the middle, making two sides with straight edges where they are slit, and after these sides are set by the finishers they are hung up to dry. The usual way of doing this now is to out three holes in the side along the straight edgeone at each end of the side and one about the middle. The operator has hooks to go through the holes, provided with handle-rings. To carry the hides from the setting-tables, he puts one hook through the hole at the tail end of the side and one through the hole in the middle, and then grasping the handle-rings carries the side to the hanging-frames. Then the hook V is withdrawn from the end hole and the hide is attached to the hanging-frame by catching the hole over a nail driven in the frame. The other end is then carried to an opposite point on the frame till in reach of a string, which is permanently tied there. This string is passed through the hole in that end of the side, and the side is stretched till it is straight by tightening the strings and the other hook is Withdrawn. The objection to this mode of carrying is that the side being soft and flexible, when it is lifted from the table by hooks at one end and in the middle the loose end will fold over and make a crease which is very difficult to smooth out after the side dries.
The hanging-frames consistof a single beam C, having hooks c inserted in its lower surface, supported on posts or suspended by hangers from a ceiling, and two beams B, op posite and parallel to it at a distance suitable to the length of the leather sides, supported in the same way and at the same height. The beams B are separated from each other by a distance roughly corresponding to the difference in length of the longest and shortest sides. Stretching across from one of these beams to the other are crosspieces B, notched intoratchetteeth on their.
uppes surfaces. Around each of these crosspieces is a loosely-fitting ring I), with hook attached, similar to the ring and hook a used with the carrying-pole.
In the drawing I have shown a hide in position in the frame, and on reference thereto it will be seen that rings a, are caught onto the hooks b and have depending hooks, which are shown as inserted through perforations in the hide. These rings a are originally supported on a pole of any suitable construction, which is used for carrying the hide from the setting-table to the leather-hanging frame.
WVheu my invention is used and the operator carries the side stretched on the pole from the setting-table to the hanging-frames, he catches the ring a on one end of the carrying-pole onto the hook c on the beam 0 and the ring on the other end of the pole onto the hook 6, dependent from the ring, passing round the ratcheted cross-pieces B on the beams B, at the same time withdrawing the carrying-pole, and then moves the hooked ring Z1 over the ratchet-teeth in B until the side is stretched tight. Besides the manner of carrying the hides by hooks with handrings passing through the holes out along the straight edge, as described, it has sometimes been the practice to bring a pole to the table onwhich the hide islying afterbeing stuffed and the straight edge of the hide is stretched along the pole and nailed to it, and the pole, with hide attached, is mounted on the hanging-frame.
The means above referred to (via, a carrying-pole having the removable rings and hooks) for carrying the hide from the setting-table to the frame is especially adapted for use in connection with my improved leather-hanging frame, and for this reason is preferably employed; but any suitable carrying means can be employed without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The herein-described frame for hanging a series of leather sides on, comprising a rectangular frame having a series of laterallyeXtending bars formed with ratchet-shaped upper faces, a ring adj ustably engaging each of said bars and formed with a dependent hook, and a separate beam having a series of dependent hooks, substantially as shown, and for the purposes specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
BENEARD SCHNEPP.
