ANGUS M. LANDER, OF PELZER, SOUTH CAROLINA.
BALE-TIE.
:BEECIFFICATXON forming part of Letters PatentNo. 718,133, dated January 13, 1903.
Application filed May 3, 1902. Serial No. 105,820." (No model.)
To all 'who-m, it muy concern:
Be it known that I, ANGUS M. LANDER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pelzer, in the county of Anderson and State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bale-Ties;A 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 yit appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to bale-ties, having reference to the construction of the band which surrounds the bale and the fastening device by means of which the extremities of the band are coupled and held together.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple, cheap, and effective means for fastening together the ends of a thin flat metallic band, the band being provided with terminal loops, which are formed at the ends of the band before applying the fastening device. The terminal loops are so formed that when tension is put upon the band the loops are rendered self-binding with respect to the fastening device, thereby rendering itimpossible for the loops to straighten out and release themselves from their engagement with the fastening device.
With the above and other objects in view, the nature of which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter fully described, illustrated, and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a perspective view showing the bale-tie applied to a bale. Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion of the band, showing the fastening device in engagement therewith. Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view through the permanent loops, showing the relationship existing between the loops and the arms or fingers of the fastening device.
Referring to the drawings, `l designates a band or strap of `thin flat metal, such as is commonly known to the trade as hoopiron. The band may be quite thin, approximately of the thickness of ycard or bristol board, and each end of the band is bent to form a dat elongated loop 2, one of the important features of which resides in continuing the formation of the loop far enough to provide two thicknesses at the inner portion of the loop or at the point 3, where the loop binds against the inner edge of one of the fingers of the fastener, the extreme end portion of the band being extended part Way toward the outer portion of the loop, so thatin reality the band completely encircles or passes around the inner edge of one of the lingers or arms of the fastening device twice.
The fastening device by means of which the ends of the band are coupled together consists of a dat plate 4, having a slot or notch 5, which serves to provide the plate or fastening device with two arms or lingers 6 of a size adapting them to be inserted in the loops of the band. After the band has been passed around the bundle or bale and the fingers of the fastening device have been inserted in the loops the outwardV pressure of the material of the bale and the tension produced thereby on the band will tend to draw apart the looped extremities of the band, thus forcing the same into firm engagement with the inner edges of the lingers 6. Owing to the fact that the material of the band passes twice around the inner edge of each linger of the fastening device, the loop is rendered self tightening or binding, the outer portion or thickness of the loop acting against the inner portion or thickness of the loop at the point 3 to compress the loop and bind the same closely upon and around the linger or arm 3, which is inserted through the loop. Slipping or displacement of the loop from the fastening device is thus rendered impossible, and
the ends of the band will be securely held until the band is taken olf.
The bale-tie hereinabove described is economical in construction both as regards the fastening device and the band, as but little material is consumed in the formation of the terminal loops, while the fastening device may be either cast or stamped out of sheetmetal without waste. The device also enables the bale to be compaetly held together and the original sizethereof maintained, as there can be no slipping of the band. The baletie may be applied with great rapidity, it only being necessary to pass the band around the bale and place the arms or lingers of the fastener through the terminal loops. The bands may all be of equal length, Ithus giving uniing-fastener consisting of a flat plate having formity in the size of the bales or bundles parallel fingers spaced apart and adapted to and equal tension on all the bands. I be removably inserted in the terminal loops Having thus described the invention, what of the band, substantially as described. l5 5 is claimed as new is- In testimony whereof I afx my signature In a bale-tie, the combination of a thin in presence of two witnesses.
