UNITED STATES WILLIAM S. BROWN, OF
PATENT @EETQE.
BAYNEVILLE, KANSAS.
WIRE-STRETCH ER.
$PECIF1GATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 548,603, dated October 22, 1895.
Application filed July ,1894. Serial No. 518,450. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. BROWN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Bayneville, in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wire- Stretchers and theMethod of Securing a Wire to a Post, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, and the figures of reference thereon, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved wire-stretcher. Fig. 2 represents a side view of a post, showing one method of securing the wire to the post and taking up the slack in said fence-wire. Fig. 3 is a top plan of the same. Fig. l is a detail sectional view showing the manner of securing the fulcrum to the pliers, and Fig. 5 is a perspective View showing the wire-stretcher as it would be in use.
This invention relates to certain improvements in wire-stretchers.
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents a pair of pliers. 2 is a roughened curved sur face on the under jaw of said pliers. 3 is a jaws are adapted to catch and securely hold t is one of the arms of the pliers 1, which carries the fulcrum 7.
6 is a hole through the arm 4 and is for the purpose of passing the wire through when the arm 5 is brought down, as shown in Fig. 4, which will shear the said wire ed.
7 represents the fulcrum, which is pointed for the purpose of sticking into the post, as shown in Fig. 5.
9 represents a fence-wire.
10 is a short piece of wire for drawing the fence-wire 9 snug around the post and taking up the slack in the fence-wire 9.
11 represents the two ends of the wire 10 twisted together.
12 is a beveled edge on the fulcrum. The said fulcrum can he slid back and forth on the arm 4. and is held on said arm by means of the wedge shape of said arm and the part 8 of said fulcrum, as shown in Fig. 4.
When in use the short wire is placed around the post on the opposite side of the fence-wire. The ends of said wire are carried around said post to the fence-wire, then under and around said wire, back to where the ends of the short wire will meet. They are then taken hold of by the pliers. The pointed end of the said fulcrum is then jabbed into the post and the ends of the short wire drawn out by pressing down on the arms of the pliers, which will in turn draw the fence-wire around the post, as shown in Fig. 3, which will take up the slack in the said fence-wire. The pliers are then turned around, so as to twist the short wire, as shown at 11 in Figs. 2 and 3.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:
The wire stretcher consisting of a pair of arms pivotally secured together, having wire gripping jaws with roughened surfaces, a fulcrum held to slide on one of said arms, and the hole 6 in one of the arms, substantially as shown and described.
