WIRE-FENICE MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 723,262, dated March 24, 1903.`
Application {iled December 28, 1901. Serial No. 87,582. (No model.)
To all whom ,it Worry concern: l
Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. GAINES, a citizen of the United States, residingat Newcastle, in the county of Henry and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Wire-Fence Machine, of which the following `is a specification.
This invention is an improved Wire stretcher and carrier, and relates particularly to a device for use in constructing fences, and has for its object to provide a simple and economical arrangement for carrying a roll of wire in such position that the strands may be conveniently secured to the posts.
Another object of my invention is to provide an arrangement for collecting loose or down wire of a fence, so that the wire may be conveniently used in the reconstruction of a fence; and with `these obJ cts in view my invention consists incertain details of construction and novelties of combination and arrangement `of parts, as will be fully 'described in the following specification and pointed out in the claims, reference being had to the drawings, in which-` Figure l is a plan View of luy-improvement as arranged upon the front gear of a wagon.
Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, the near Wheel of the Wagon-gear being removed; and
Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the frame and reel detached.
My invention is arranged andconstructed particularly to be used in connection with the front running-gear-of a wagon, by which.
` `3 5 the device is supported and transported from` place to place and along the routeof the fence.
By referring to the drawings it will be seen that I employ the front running-gearAof a' Wagon, to which is connected a rearwardlyextending bar B, that may he the ordinary reach-bar orany suitable form of bar, upon which is mounted a frame C, consisting of the side members C', whose-forward ends are suitably connected to a perforated cross-bar C2, and an intermediate cross-bar C3, through which passes a Abolt C4, that pivotally connects the frame upon the bar, and by providing the front perforated bar the frame may be turned either Way for the purpose, as will appear later on.
-In the rear ends of the side members C is -mounted ashaft D, upon which is held a-reel carried by the frame through the medium of a link-bar L'. The said lever L also carries a pawl L2, that engages a ratchet-section of the frame for holding the bar tightly against the reel when it is braked.`
The bar Bis suitably braced to the running-gear A by means of a chain M', and in practice I also prefer to provide the said running-gear with a brake or chock bar N to limit or prevent any rearward movement of the running-gear during the construction of a fence. In practice the bar N is pivoted to the axle-frame of the running-gear and trails upon the ground; but should it be desired to elevate the bar and hold it iu such position so the device may be backed I provide the bar with a hook N', that engages a staple N2, arranged upon the axle-bar.
From the foregoiugitwill be seen that when the device isarranged as described the down wire may be easily and conveniently collected bysim'ply fastening one end to the reel and Adriving the device. over the ground upon which the Wire lies; but in the construction of a fence the chain I is removed, when by propelling the device the Wire is automatically unwound from the reel and secured to the posts ofthe fence, the movement of the reel beinglcontrolled by the brake-bar K, so that suitable tensionl may be applied to the wire, and by arranging the cross-bar C2 the reel may be positioned upon the bar lB at any angle to accommodate the distance therunning-gear, is traveling from the posts..-
It will thus be seen that my impro-vement is exceedingly simple andcan beyapjplied to the running-gear of a wagon at a very small cost, and, further, by providing the crankhandle F upon the reel-shaft the reel may be ICO operatedindependently of the connection of the wheel of the running-gear, as occasion may sometimes require.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a device of the kind described, the
combination with the running-gear of a vehicle, a bar extending rearwardly thereof, a substantially rectangular frame horizontally pivoted to the rear of said bar its front member consisting of a perforated cross-piece, a reel pivoted to the rear of said frame between its side members, and means for automatically actuating said reel. 2. In a device of the kind described, the combination with the runnin g-gear of a Wagon, of a bar extending rearwardly thereof, a frame pivoted to the rear of said bar, said frame comprising forward-converging side members, a cross-bar connected to the forward ends of the side members and having a plurality of apertures therein, a cross-bar connecting the side members intermediate their ends and having an aperture formed midway its length, brackets secured on said side members, a brake-bar held in said brackets, a reel mounted to the rear of the frame, means for actuating the brake-bar and means for rotating the reel.
3. The combination of a reel-supporting. frame, comprising the side members and the cross members, a shaft carrying a reel journaled upon the frame and having one end thereof provided with a crank-handle, guides secured upon the frame and having a bar operati-ng therein, a lever pivoted upon the frame, a link connecting the said bar and lever, a pawl arranged upon the lever andV a ratchet-section arranged upon the frame, substantially as shown and described.
4. In a device of the kind described, the combination of the runninggear of a wagon, abarextendingrearwardlytherefrom,aframe pivotally held upon'the outer end of the said bar, a reel journaled in the said frame, the shaft of said reel having a sprocket arranged upon one end thereof, a brake-bar carried by the frame, a lever pivotally held upon the frame, a link connecting the said bar and 1ever, a sprocket arranged upon the wagongear, a chain connecting the said sprocket of the reel-shaft and the sprocket of the wagongear, and means connecting the said frame and bar whereby the said frame may be adj ustably held to the bar, substantially as Shown and described.
5. In a device of the kind described, the combination of a wagon-gear having a bar extending rearwardly therefrom, a chain connecting the said bar and gear, a frame pivotally held upon the end of the said bar, said frame comprising side members and the front perforated cross-bar, and an intermediate bar, a shaft mounted upon the said side bars and having a reel mounted thereon, guides formed upon the said side members, a brakebar operating in the said guides, a lever pivot-- ally held to one of the said side members and carrying a link that is connected to the said bar, ratchet-teeth formed upon one of the side members adjacent the lever, a pawl carried by the lever and adapted for engagement with the ratchet-teeth, and a pin connecting the said cross-bar of the frame, with the rearwardly-extending bar of the Wagon-gear, and means for operating the said reel, substantially as shown and described.
6. In a device of the kind described, the combination of the wagon-gear having a bar extending rearwardly therefrom,a frame pivotally held upon the rear end of the bar, the said frame having a perforated cross bar formed integral therewith by which the said frame may be held at various angles to the longitudinal line of the said rearwardly-extending bar, a reel carried by the said frame,
a brake-bar carried by the frame and art ranged for engagement with the reel, and means for operating the said reel, and means for operating the said brakebar, and a chock carried by the said running-gear, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
