WIRE-STRETCHER CLAMP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 736,453, dated August 18, 1903.
Application filed June 18, 1902. Serial No. 112,231. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern: I
Be it known that we, RAYMOND Socxs and FRANK P. SMITH, citizens of the United States, residing at Shelbyville, in the county of Shelby and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful \Vire Stretcher Clamp, of which the following is a specification.
This invention is an improvement in wire stretchers, and has for its object to improve the construction of wirestretcher clamps to provide a simple and inexpensive device by which the wire may be readily stretched to the required tension and which will hold the wire in convenient position for attachment to the post or other support.
Other novel features of the device will appear in the annexed description and be specified in the claim following.
In the drawings illustrating the invention, Figure 1 is a side elevation viewed from the front or wire-entering side, and Fig. 2 is a similar view from the rear side. Fig. 3 is a plan view.
The device consists in two opposing jaw members 10 11, the member 10 rigidly secured, as by rivets 10 10", to abase-plate 12, and the member 11 pivotally secured at 11 in the same base-plate, as shown. The baseplate 12 is wider at the point where the jaw member 10 is attached than at the point where the jaw member 11 is pivoted, and the narrow side of the base-plate is extended and bent over the jaw member 11 at 12 and adapted to support the outer end of the pivot 11, as shown. The opposing faces of the jaw members are reversely curved, as shown at 13 13, respectively, and are extended rearwardly and provided with links 14: 14, the links united by a ring 15.
Attached to the rear face of the base-plate 12 is a spring 16, extending rearwardly and engaging the pivoted jaw member 11 by an offset 16, as shown. The spring is preferably connected to the head 12 at 16 and supported by a pin 16, as shown in Fig. 2. The
spring exerts its force to maintain the jaws in constant engagement, so that when the wire is first inserted between the curved portions 13 13 it will be held with sufficient force to obviate the necessity for holding the jaws closed upon the wire by hand while adlapping portion 12, forming a support for the movable jaw member 11, is also an important feature of the invention and greatly strengthens and supports the connection, so that a much greater tension can be applied to the wire without danger of breaking the jaw members or straining the parts. This produces a very simple, cheap, easily-applied, and very strong device, which is readily applicable to all the various purposes for which similar devices are usually employed. The parts can be of any desired size to adapt them to different-sized wire.
Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim is- In a wire-stretcher, the combination with a base-plate having a laterally-extended finger folded backward upon itself to form an extended lateral recess, a movable jaw member pivoted at its forward end in the recess between the overlapping finger and base-plate, a fixed jaw member rigidly connectedat its front end to the base-plate, said jaw members being extended rearward from the base-plate in substantially parallel relation and having their active faces curved throughout their entire length in opposite directions, whereby they are adapted for clamping wires varying widely in size, a pair of links connected one with each of the jaw members at its rear end, an attaching member carried by the link, and a spring attached to the rear face of the base plate and extending rearwardly therefrom with its free end bearing upon the rear end of the movable jaw member and tending to normally hold the same in clamping position.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereto aiiixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
