UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
.TAMES OSBORN BERRY, OF BELLEVUE, TEXAS.
\ WIRE-FENCE TOOL.
srncrnxcn'rron forming part of Letters Patent No. 692,818, dated February 1 1,
1 Application filed July 8,1901. Serial No.67 ,564. (Nomad) To allwhom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMEs OSBORN BERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bellevue, in the county of Clay and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Wire-Fence Tool, of which the following is a specification.
- The invention relates to improvements in wire-fence tools. I
The object of the present invention is to provide a simple and comparatively inexpensive tool of great strength and durability designed for operating on fence-wires and adapted for mending the same and for taking up the slack of a fence-wire and capable in stretching the ends of a. broken or severed wire of drawing the said ends past each other before thesame are twisted together, whereby the ends of the wire may be more effectively connected. t I
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out inthe claim hereto appended. V
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a tool constructed in accordance with this invention, the jaws being separated pre-,
paratory to stretching a fence-wire. Fig. 2 is a side elevation illustrating the position of the jaws after the wire has been stretched and the ends thereof drawn past each other. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the jaws of. the bars or members,- illustrating the arrangement of the same.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawlngs.
1 and 2 designate two bars or members pivstretching a fence-wire, as hereinafter explained. The curved jaws, which are enlarged, are provided with V-shaped recesses 6 to form claws for engaging the ends of a in opposite directions on their pivot, and by swinging the jaws past each other in this manner the wire may be stretched to a greater de-' gree than is possible with jaws or members which are adapted to swing substantially to a closed position only, and the ends of the wire may be drawn past each other and over lapped'before they are twisted. Bythis con-' struction a more efiective knot is produced. The tool may be used in this manner for connecting the ends of a broken fence-wire,- or it may be employed as a mid-wire take-up, in which case the wire is preferably severed and then stretched to the desired tension. The laterally-extending handles 4 project outward a considerable distance and form a lever for enabling the wire to be easily twisted after the same has been stretched, as before described. These laterally-eXt-ending handles may be formed by bending the inner ends of the bars or members outward, or they may be constructed in any other suitable manner.
The bar or member 1 is provided beyond the pivot 3 with a wire-receiving notch 7, and the bars or members are adapted to be closed on the wire to sever the same, and an efficient wire-cutter is thus provided. The device is also adapted to be used as a gage for enabling the wires to be spaced at equal intervals, the device being adapted to be hung on a wire by means of the laterally-extending handles, and the bars or members by depending from such wire will serve as a gage. 1 ing the tool the bars or members may be made of different lengths, as will be readily understood.
It will be seen that the tool' is exceedingly simple and inexpensive in'construction, that it possesses great strength and durability, and that it is adapted for stretching and repairing fence-wires. It will also be apparent that the tool is adapted to stretch the ends of a In construct-- loo.
fence-wire past each other and that an effective knot or connection may be readily produced.
What I claim is A tool for stretching and repairing fencewires comprising two bars 1 and 2 pivoted together between their ends and having their outer ends enlarged and provided with laterally-oifset claws arranged to clear each other entirely and adapted to engage the ends of a broken fence-wire and capable of swinging entirely past each other, whereby the ends of the wire may be stretched to the desired tension prior to twisting them together, said
