SPECIFICATION forming part of Leifiers Patent No. 716,723, dated. December 23, 1902.
Application filed July 2 l 1902.
To all whomit may concern.-
Be it known that-L'MELVIN DJKILMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of'Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful ImprovementsinWire-Glamps; 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 thesame.
This inventionrelates to a newand useful improvement in clamps for fence-wires; and it consists in the construction hereinafter pointed out.
In the annexed drawings, Figure 1' represents a vertical section and face'view of the device applied to two crossing wires, the latter being straight. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section, face View, and top view of thedevice applied to the crossing wires, the-latter being bent where they cross and where the device is applied. Fig. 8 represents a face and side view of the device. Fig. 4 represents a modification, the device being made of sheet metal. Fig. 5 represents a portion of a fence-mesh, showing the device in place where the vertical and horizontal wires cross.
In the drawings, the letter A represents a clamp having the semitubular body a and the wings at. These wings are connected to the body portion by the necks a the wings and body portion extending beyond the necks, leaving notches or seats (L The wings on are turned outwardly, so as to be substantially in a plane which is parallel with the axisof the semitubular body portion a. A device thus constructed forms a clamp which is put in place about two wires, as at B and G, where they cross at the point at. This clamp A is put in place by putting the semitubular body portion a. around the vertical wire B, the wings ct passing beyond the wire B. The clamp is then slid downward over the horizontal wire 0, the latter resting in the two seats a as clearly shown in the drawings. Pressure is then applied to the clam p, forcing the extremi- Serial No. 116,424. o model.)
ties a of the wings (1 toward the body portion a and under the wire G. If desired, such pressure may be applied upon the clamp that the wires B and C may be given the bend b and c where they cross within the clamp A, as clearly indicated in Fig. 2.
The clamp thus described may be made of any material suitable for the purpose, the notches or seats a being formed by cutting away a part of the material.
In Fig. 4: a modification is shown wherein the clamp A is made of sheet metal and is formed by simply cutting slits in the metal, forming the tubular portion by bending the -metal and forming the wings by turning the edges of the plate at right angles and spreading them apart where the slits are made.
W'ith a clamp such as described the wires are very securelyheld where they cross. The two wingsand the semitubular body portion being spread apart transversely form a broad bearin g-s urface,which not only holds the wires firmly together, but also holds the clamp firmly upon the wires. Also the wings being turned substantially parallel to the body portion bear with their flat surfaces against the wire and are not only more easily,therefore,bent around the'wire which they clasp, but also held more firmly against displacement than if they only caught the wire with their edges.
This clamp can not only be used for fe oewires, as described, but for any and all kinds offfabrics where wires cross each other.
Having described my invention, what I claim is The fence-clamp, A, having the semitubular body portion, a, the necks, 01. the wings, 03, substantially parallel to the axis of the portion and the seats, a
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
