Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN M. COCHRAN, OF RUSSELLVILLE, ALABAMA.
MACHINE FOR SPLICING FENCE-WIRES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 470,544, dated March 8, 1892.
Application filed August 1, 1891.' Serial No. 401.377. (N0 model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN M. COOHRAN, of Russellville, in the county of Franklin and State of Alabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Splicing Fence-Wires; and I do hereby 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 pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to animprovement in machines for splicing fence-wires; and it consists in certain novel features of construction and inthe combination and arrangement of parts, which will be fully described hereinafter, and more particularly referred to in the claim.
The object of my invention is to construct a mechanism which will draw together the adjacent ends of the wire which has been broken and hold them in this position while they are being joined or spliced.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved machine. Fig. 2 is a view of the clutch.
A represents the two sides of the frame and B the ends, which are provided with the horizontal slots 0. Mounted within the frame and journaled in the sides A are the parallel drums or rolls D, which are constructed with the engaging gear-wheels E. One end of one of these' rolls is extended through the frame, and to this extended end is secured the crank F for revolving the said drums. Secured attheir inner ends to each of the drums are the cords or ropes G, which extend outward through the slots 0, and to their outer ends are secured the clutches H. The clutch consists of the main body portion having an outwardly-extending arm I, to which is pivoted the cam-lever J. The inner side of the main portion is grooved, as shown at l1, and in this wire are secured to the clutches and the drums revolved in opposite directions by turning the crank. The ends of the wires are thus drawn together or made to lap. The drums are then locked stationary bymeans of the ratchet and dog and the wire spliced together in the ordinary manner.
Having thus described my invention, I claim In a splicing-machine, the frame provided with slotted end portions, drums mounted in the frame and provided with engaging gearwheels, a ratchet secured to one of the drums, a dog secured to the frame, engaging the said ratchet, cords secured to the drums,which extend through the slotted end portions. of the frame, and clutches 0n the free ends of the cords, the parts being combined to operate substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN M. COOHRAN. Witnesses: r
