WIRE-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 587,216, dated July 27, 1897. Application filed November 2, 1896. Serial No. 610,844. (No model.)

T 0 ctZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JosEPn B. LAWRENCE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Salem, in the county of Salem and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ire-Holders; 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 appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a novel construc tion in a wire-holder adapted more especially for use upon the cross-pieces of telegraph and telephone poles, the object being to provide a simple, inexpensive, and durable device of this kind.

The invention consists in the features of construction hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a cross-piece provided with a Wire-holder constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section ofythe same.

Referring now to said drawings, 1 indicates the cross-piece 2, the said holder; 3, the glass insulator, and a the wire. The said'holder 2 consists of an upright 5, having feet 6 at its lower end provided with openings through which screws pass to secure said holder to the cross-piece.

that this said holder is preferably made of metal and is provided at its upper end with arms 7 to receive the lower end of the glass insulator 3. This glass insulator is provided It will be understood, of course,

at its lower end with an exterior screw-thread or groove 8, by means of which it is fastened to the said arms 7, which are provided with ribs or screw-threads to engage the screwthreaded portion of the insulator; otherwise the said insulator is constructed in the usual manner, while the wire at is secured thereto as formerly.

It will be noticed that a wire-holder constructed in accordance with this invention will not only effectually hold the wire to the cross-piece,but that, further, it is durable and inexpensive and can be quickly applied and removed, while the danger of breakage is reduced to a minimum.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A wire-holder consisting of an upright standard having feet provided with openings, upwardly projecting arms having interior screw threads, and an exteriorly screwthreaded insulator.

2. A wire-holder consisting of an upright standard, upwardly-extending arms having interior screw-threads, and an insulator screwthreaded exteriorly at its lower end portion.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
