Description

1 UNITED STATES `ALBERT c. Beurs', or TROY, New YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN TOOLS FOR HOLDINGAND DRIVING STAPLES FOR WIRE FENCES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.l 56,884, dated August '7, 18ti6.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT C. BE'rfrs, of Troy, in the county of Rensselaer and State of New York, haveinvented a new and useful Device for Holdin g Staples whileBei n g Driven 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal section of myinvention taken in the line :c fr, Fig. 2; Fig. 2, an inner-edge view of the same Fig. 3, a transverse section ofthe same taken in the line y y,
Fig. l.; Fig. 4, a side view ofa portion of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention relates to a new and useful device for holding staples, and is designed to facilitate the. driving of the same. It is more particularly applicable to the making of wire fences where the wires are secured to posts by means of staples.
A represents what may be termed the-,case of the device, which may be of any suitable length and of a form, in its transversesection, corresponding to the form of a staple, as shown clearly in Fig. This case is open at its inner edge, and within said case there is tted a slide, B, which corresponds in form to that of a transverse section of the case, as shown in Fig. 3, having lips aa atits outerend, which lap over the inner edge of the case, as is also shown in Fig. 3. This slide B is attached to one end of a rod, C, within the case A, said rod being tted within a spiral spring, D, in the'case. E is a rod secured -longitudinally within the case, and on which rod the slide B is tted and allowed to move freely. This rod E serves as a guide for the slide. I
The case A at one end is provided with a cap, F, attached to it by a hinge or joint, b.
The inner surface of this door has a dovetail' j, in an arm, g, attached to or projecting from between the head d of the bar G and the case A, and said lever yhas a spring, IIL, connected with it, which spring has a tendency to keep the end of the lever between the head d and the case A in contact with the latter.
The slide B also has a rod, I, attached to it, with a hole, 1i, made in it, near its outer end, to receive, when the slide B is drawn back, the hookj of a thumb-catch, J, fitted in the case A, as shown in Fig. 1.
is drawn back Within the case A until the catch J engages with the rod I and holds the slide B, as shown in red in Fig. l. The cap F is then shoved open, and the staples K iitted in the case, the latter, between slide B and the cap F, being iilled. The cap F is then closed and secured by a suitable fastening, k, the slide B liberated by actuating the catch J. The spring D has atendency to press the staples K apart. The cap F and the bar G being forced outward from the case by actuating the lever H, the outermost staple Will be in line with bar G and against the lip c thereof, as shown in red in Fig. 1. The device being then adjusted to the post so that the outermost staple, in line with the bar G, will be over the spot where it is to be driven, the operator strikes the headd of the bar G with a hammer and drives the outermost staple into the post. The bar G is then moved outward by pressing upon lever H with the thumb, and the spring D forces another staple, K, in contact with the is adjusted to the post where a succeeding staple is to be driven, and so on.
It will be seen that by this simple device the staples may be driven and a wire fence constructed in a rapid manner.
A spring'stop, ax, is inserted in the cap F to limit the outward movement of the sliding bar G. (See more particularly Fig. l.)
`Havin g thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patenty 1. A device for holding staples for the convenience of driving the same, composed of a casein which the staples arev placed, a slide and spring, and a sliding bar, which is actuated by a hammer for driving the staples, all being arranged substantiallyas shown, so that the case A. One end of this lever is fitted I The device is used as follows The slide B cap F and in line with bar G, and the device when one staple is driven by striking the bar, and the latter is moved back, a succeeding staple Will be adjusted or thrown in line with the bai` for the purpose of being driven, as set forth.
2. The placing of the sliding bar Gr in a hinged cap, F, arranged With the ease A, so that when said ycap F is opened the bar G will be out of the way and the end of theoasele't open for the ready insertion of the staples.
The above specification of my invention signed by lne this 27 th dayof September, 1865.
