Description

@einen gratis getint @Hire EPHRAIM B. BISHOP, OF NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA. LeftersvPatent-fo. 67,098, dated July 23, 1867.
IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON-TIES.
.'lO ALL WHOM IT MAY CON` CERN r Bc it known that I, EPHRAIM B. BISHOP, of the city of New Orleans, parish ofv Orleans, and State of Louisiana, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Cotton-Ties for fastening the ends of iron bands together when the same are used for banding cotton-bales; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,
clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a, part of this specification, in which- Figurc l is a top view of my invention, and
Figure 2 a sectional side view.
My invention consists of a wrought or malleable-iron plate, A, of about half the weight ofthe Wailey tie, in which there one opening, B, and two projecting lips C that look towards one another, and which, at the point of their connection with the plate, are cut to about halt the thickness of the plate, in order that when tension is applied to the hoop or band they will the more readily and quickly yield until their ends are brought into contact with the two ends of the band within the opening by their retraction under such tension, and the fastening or lock is thus securely established.
Referring to the drawings, it will be perceived that in the creation of the opening and the projection of the lips, 'no part of the metal is eut away, as is the case in Knowless patentedl device, and that hence if the lips be forced back into their original positions there will be no opening, and that it follows that when the two ends of a band or hoop are inserted into the opening and tension is brought to bear upon the band by the expansive force of the cotton conined inthe bale, no matter how severe that tension may be, the lips can never be drawn back to tl1eir original position, because of the interposition of the two ends of the band, but yet at the same time they will be drawn in that direction, and that, therefore, after the contact takes place they will impingc upon the band with a power precisely proportionate to the degree of tension that is applied to the band. By keeping in mind thatthe two ends of the band, after they are introduced into the opening, (which introduction is froin the reverse side of the plate from which the lips projcct,) are folded back so as to envelope the two lips, it will readilyr be understood that thc effect of tension on the band willbe to draw the lips-back toa point at which the distance between their extreme ends will'beequal to the thickness of the two ends ofthe bands. The interposition of said two ends of the band will prevent the further movement of the lips, and thatl hence at their point thoyboth begin to act in opposition to each other, on the principle 'of two wedges set over against one another, and as before stated, that the result will follow that the greater the tension the greater the lock or hold of the lips upon the band. ln order to insure the easy backward movement of the lips', the moment the strain begins uponthe band, arcut is made in them on their upper sides, just at their'point of union with the plate,'about halt' way through the plate, as is clearly shown at b in both figures upon the drawings.
Having thus described my invention, its advantages may be brieiiy vstated to be as follows, namely: Weighing only about half as much as ordinary buckle cotton-tics, it can be produced at about half the cost and it is the only cotton-tie which makes the tension upon the band (the expansive force within the bale also assists) the very means of locking it, andin such manner, too, that the tenacity of the fastening is increased by the ncrcascofstrain upon the band. j q.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent as a new article of manufacture, isl
The project-ing lips C C cut as described at their junction with the plate, the whole'being constructed as l Y described for the purpose set forth.
E. B. BISHOP.
