Inasmuch as 5' method. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the the pressure for pinching or clamping the clip same, taken above the clip and showing the on the wires is applied transversely of the condition of the connection preparatory to wires the clip and the wire passing through pinching the clip against the wires. Fig. 3 its slots are not liable to slip or be shifted 45 is a similar view showing the condition of the bodily. The liability of short-bending the 9 wires or cutting their fibers on the surface and the consequent weakening of the fence is therefore avoided.
In order to obtain the best clamping effect of the bars E against the wire in the slotted wings, this wire is placed at one end of the slots. This permits the bars when bent or pinched to embrace this wire to a greater extent, thus increasing the hold thereon correspondingly. i
For the purpose of retaining the stay-wire at one end of the slotted wings each of the bars E is provided centrally with an inwardlyprojecting swell or enlargement h, which reduces the width of this part of the slot so that it is narrower in the middle than the staywire. By this means the stay-wire is prevented from sliding from one end of the slots to the other, thereby permitting of keeping all the clips of the same stay in alinement if they have been properly placed on the wire and insuring a uniform and neat appearance of the finished fence. Both ends of the slots in the clip are-preferably made large enough to receive the stay-wire. The erection of the fence is thereby facilitated, because the clip can be applied at either end to the wire, and the necessity for exercising care in assembling the parts is avoided.
After the bars E have been pinched against the stay-wire the central part of each bar has the form of a reentrant angle and is located inwardly out of line with its ends, which lat ter are both rigidly connected with and supported by the ends of the respective wing, as represented in Fig. 3. When the bars are thus bent or pinched, they form toggle-like braces which enable them tooifer a powerful resistance to any strains tending to bend them outwardly or away from the stay-Wire into an inoperative position, thereby effectually holding the clip in its locked or operative position.-
My improved method of applying the clips to the fence-wires can be practiced not only while assembling the parts on the field, but
also while weaving the fence complete in a loom.
I claim as my invention 1. The herein-described method of uniting the intersecting wires of a fence by means of a clip having longitudinal slots in its wings which are closed on all sides forming bars each connected at both ends to the wings, which method consists in first applying the clip to the wires so that one wire is arranged in the slots of both wings and the other wire between the first-mentioned wire and the bight of the clip, and then pinching or bending said bars toward said bight, substantially as set forth.
2. The herein-described method of connecting the intersecting main and stay wires of a fence by means of a clip having longitudinal slots in its wings which are closed on all sides forming a baron each wing which is connected to the wing at both ends, which method consists in first slipping the clip over the main wire and engaging its back with the same, then inserting the stay-wire in one end-of both slots, and then pinching the back and the bars of the clip for gripping the wires in the clip toward each other and pressing the same against each other, substantially as set forth.
3. The herein-described method of connecting the intersecting main and stay wires of a fence by means of a clip having longitudinal slots in its wings which are closed on all sides forming a bar on each wing which is connected to the wing at both ends, which method consists in first slipping the clip over the main wire and engaging its back with the same, then inserting the stay-wire in one end of both slots, and then pinching said bars midway of their ends in the form of a reentrant angle, substantially as set forth.
\Vitness my hand this 7th day of October,
