Description

UNITED" STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE D. LOCKWOOD, OF STONY CREEK, ASSIGNOR OF` ONEIIALF TO HENRY P. GLOVER, OF YPSILANTI, MICHIGAN. 1
IMPLEMENT FOR TlGHTENING FENCES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 522,164, datedA J' une 26, 1894.
Application led May 25, 1893.. Serial No. 475,446. (No model.)
plement for tightening fences, hereinafter fully described and claimed.
Figure 1 isa perspective of my apparatus. Fig. 2 is a front view of the apparatus in position to tighten a loose wire, and Fig. 3 is a front view of the apparatus and the tightened wIre. .Y
In the use of wire fences itis found that frequentlyr the Wires stretch or become loose in some way, and to tighten them requires removal of the fastenings and considerable labor. v f A and B represent two arms of a pair of tongs fulcrumed at C, one of them being provided with a set screw D to limit the stroke of the tool. The arm B carries a grooved or spoon-shaped jaw G, provided with a groove F to receive the wire, and the arm A carries a bifurcated jaw, the ends of which are provided with grooves E E to receive the wire.
I prefer to make the jawG spoon-shaped as this gives the wire an easy bend, but its shape may be changed, if desired.
When a wire becomes slack, the tool is applied to the wire in the position shown in Fig. 2, the grooves E and F engaging with the wire, and then by closing handles A and B together thus bringing the jaws together the wire is crimped in the manner shown in Fig. 3. The crimp may of course be made to the full extent of the operation of the tool or to any less extent, and several crimps may be'made if necessary in any one panel until the slack is entirely taken up.
" What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A wire crimping tool consisting of the handles A B, fulcrumed together, the handle A provided with a bifurcated jaw having grooves E, andthe handle B provided with an intermediate spoon-shaped jaw G having a groove F, substantially as and for the purposesset forth.Y
2. A wire crimping tool consisting of the handles A B fulcrumed together, the handle A provided with a bifurcated jaw having grooves E, and the handle B provided with yan intermediate spoon-shaped jaw G having a groove F, and set screw D,substantial1y as and for the purposes set forth.
v GEO. D. LOCKWOOD.
