HOG-SNOUT HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 722,434, dated March 10, 1903. Application filed September 15, 1900. Serial No. 30,175- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GABRIEL FINANDEZ SNI- DER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Abingdon, in the county of Jefierson and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful I-Iog-Snout Holder, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in hog-catchers; and the object is to provide an improved device for quickly and readily engaging the snout of a hog and securely holding the same for ringing or other purposes, which may be instantly disengaged from the animal, the device being exceedingly simple in construction and effective in operation.
With the above objects in view the invention consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter fully described, particularly pointed out in the claim, and clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of the invention, and Fig. 2 a side elevation with the head in section.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, A designates a rod having at one end a cross-handle B and at its opposite end a transversely-extending head 0, which is concaved upon its outer side, as illustrated at D. The head is formed at its respective ends with transversely extending slots E. Loosely secured in one of said slots is one end of a spring-Wire F, said end of the wire being formed with an eye G, through which a pin H passes, thereby retaining the wire in said slot and permitting the same to have a slight movement therein. Said spring wire is formed into a loop I, disposed on the outer side of said head. From said loop the wire is bent toward the handle and is positioned in the other slot of the head, in which it freely moves back and forth as the loop is contracted and returned to its normal position. Said wire passes through a guiding-eye J secured to the rod A, and at its extremity is formed with a hook K, engaging a hook L, formed on the end of a reciprocating operating-rod M. This rod reciprocates in guiding-eyes N, carried by the rod A, and its inner end is bent to form a handle portion 0.
The operation of my invention is as follows: The loop is normally of such size as to be readily placed over the snout of a hog, and it is contracted to securely hold the snout by drawing upon the handle portion of the operating-rod. By arranging the handle portion of the operating-rod in close proximity to the handle of the device the loop may be conveniently contracted by the same hand in which the device is held, thus requiring but one hand to manipulate the invention. The movement of the operating-rod in the opposite direction returns the loop to its normal size and releases the snout of the hog, the release being instantly effected.
By forming the wire loop of spring metal the same operates to much better advantage, as the resiliency of the metal assists in returning the loop to its normal size and also renders the device more durable, as the constant contracting and engaging of the loop has a tendency to cause the same to break or bend, which bending or breaking would more easily occur if non-resilient wire were used.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as, new, and desire to secure by Letters'Patent, is-
In a device of the kind described, a rod having a cross-bar handle at one end, a transversely-extending cross-head at the opposite end of the bar, havingits outer face concaved and slotted at the ends, guide-eyes arranged along one side of the rod, a resilient wire attached at one end to a pivot passed through one of the slots, curved outwardly across the concaved face of the cross-head, and passed through the other slot between a pivot-like rod, and the "cross head and through one guide-eye, astraight bar secured to one end of said wire, and extending rearwardly through the remaining guide-eyes, and then bent in the form of a loop to form a handle adjacent to the cross-bar handle of the rod.
