WIRE STRETCHER AND FASTENER- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 784,452, dated March 7, 1905.
Application filed September 1, 1904. Serial No. 223,053.
To MZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that 1. FELIX VERnoEvnN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Forestgrovc, in the county of \Vashington and State of Oregon, have invented a new and useful lVire Stretcher and Fastener, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the drawings which form a'part thereof.
h'ly invention relates to improvements in wire stretchers and fasteners in which the wire is stretched or drawn taut and then fastened.
The objects of my invention and improve ments are, first, to provide a simple, inexpensive, and strong device by which a wire of any reasonable length and dimension or tensile strength may be easily, economically, and speedily stretched or drawn taut; second, to securely and quickly fasten such a wire after it is so stretched or drawn taut and to prevent it from slacking. These objects. as will hereinafter be seen, are accomplished by the device I have discovered, which is novel and useful, and its easy adjustment to position, its simple construction and efl'ective, speedy, and convenient operation distinguish my device practically from all others known to me, and it overcomes the objections incident to many similar devices heretofore designed for the same general purpose. I attain these objects and other advantages by the mechanism, construction, combination, and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a side elevation on the side where the crankhandle is placed. Fig. 3 isa perspective view of my device upon a fence-post.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the drawings and several views.
The device shown is adapted to be secured to a pole, post, or other object where wire is strung, as for fences or in hop-yards, &c., by lirst securing the bearings A A to the post B or to a cross-piece thereon by means of screws or nails driven in at the openings (1 (1' a a. The reel O is shown in all figures as adapted to lit into the said post-bearings at each shaft end thereof. In the center of the reel-shaft is an opening 7), passing through it, for the reception of the end of the wire to be operated upon. At each end of the reel-shaft are the openingscc, adapted to receive and permit the free vertical movement in each of the locking-pins D1,), respectively, both of which are formed with round heads 9 g 5 g at each end to prevent them from being withdrawn or falling out of said openings. The openings 0 0 may also beat right angles to each other, and thus permit a following movement of the locking-pins. Upon the reel U at the sides of the openings 0 c are the rims (a a of a size adapted to prevent the wire from coming into contact with the locking-pins D 1). Upon the reel at the opposite sides of the locking-pins l) D are two other rims f f, of a size adapted to bear against the post-bearings. to prevent the reel from moving to left or right. One end E of the reel-shaft is square and adapted to receive the removable crank-handle F. The wire /t is shown passing through an opening bored through the post B opposite the opening 7) in center of reel-shaft or which opening may be at one side of the shaft.
The post-hearings A A having been secured to the well-braced post B upon its side, it will be seen that in stretching or tightening a fence or hop-yard wire that the wire is passed through the post by an opening at a place opposite the reel-shaft. The end of the wire is then secured in the end of the opening for the purpose of winding the wire A. it will thus be seen that the draft of the wire will then retain the reel lll'l11l VUl.)()l]ltS post-bearings. The crank-handle being carried along by a man is placed upon the square shaft end 1*) of the reel, and by turning, as desired, the wire is drawn first to'the under side of the reel, whereupon the locking-pins l) l) are turned so they again reach a vertical position and maybe permitted to drop by gravity through the openings 0 c. if the lockingpins are set at right angles, they will each perform the same function, locking the reel in turn. By thus revolving the reel until the wire is drawn as tightly as desired it will be seen that the locking-pins l) I) after drop-- ping through the openings 0 0 come in contact at their lower ends with the post B, and
thus fasten the reel, preventing it from revolving and preventing the Wire from unwinding or slacking. The crank-handle is then removed for use upon thenext reel. It Will also be seen that the Wire Will not run over or upon the pins, as it is prevented from so doing by the rims e 6, nor will the reel slip or slide sidewise, because of the rims ff in contact With the post-bearings A A.
I prefer to make my Wire stretcher and fastener as described in Figs. 1, 2, and 3; but it may be made with or Without one or more of the rims, with or Without the fastener-opening 6 or a hook or other catch substituted therefor, or different post-bearings maybe substituted, and other modifications in form, construction, and arrangement thereof may be made by the skilled mechanic Without variance from my invention.
I claim- In a Wire-stretcher, the reel 0 having the rims e and ff, the square shaft end E and the openings Z1 and 0 c.
