Specification of Lettrs'latent.
Patented Oct. 16, 1906.
7, Application filed February 19, 1906. Serial No. 301,869-
To all whom it may concern,-
Be it"known thatI, JOHN W. STEELE, a
citizen of the United States, residing at 1927 Kern street, Fresno, in the county of Fresno andxState ofCalifornia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tent- Slips, of which the following is a specification. I My invention relates to improvements in tent-slips; and the object is to providea device of simple construction which willhold the loop of a tent guy-rope in any adjusted position and will prevent the strands of the loop from slipping when arranged on the tent-pegs in the usualmanner, yet so-that it may be readily adjusted on the rope and automatically lock itself on the rope :when the With these objects'in view the invention resides in a new and improved article of manufacture, consisting ofa tent guy-rope key, clutch, or lock, made of a single piece of suitable wire formed with a spirally-wound thimble or sleeve with the extending strands of the wire -then twisted or laid together, and an integral ring formed in the wires at the terminations thereof. l
I have fully and clearly illustrated the improvements and the application thereof in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, wherein V Figure 1 is a perspective viewshowing the application of the key or look to a tent guyrope, both the rope and the loop being broken off to permit an enlarged illustration of the arts. Fig.2 isa detail perspective of the ey or look, illustrated in full size of one of. the manufactured articles.
To "produce the key or look, a piece of wire of suitable length and gage is used, and in the middle thereof is formed a spirally-laid thimble or sleeve 1, consisting of the desired number of layers of the wire, substantially as shown. The loose and extending strands are then disposed so that the thimble stands at right angles to the strands. The strands are then twisted together, as seen at 2, and. the loose end ofeach strand formed 'into a ring 3, made of such diameter aswill suit the size of the rope to be engaged by the key, as
The rings are then laid injuxtaposition and positioned. at right angles to the twisted position of the sleeve, as shown in the drawings.
To apply the device to a guy-rope the sleeve is slipped on; the rope and the free end of the rope then passed through the rings and a knot, as 4,-tied in the end, as shown, to prevent escape from the key. It will be observed that the loop thusformed may then be placed over a tent-pin and the proper tenby simply pulling the SlOIl accomplished knotted strand of the loop, which will straighten out the kink from the main line of the guy and permit the rope to slide through the sleeve or thimble until the guy is stretched, when by releasement the key will again and automatically clutch the main guy and hold taut, as indicated in Fig.- 1 of the drawings.
It will be. readily perceived that a guyrope key of the improved construction will hold the rope against slipping more securely than the keys of the usual make; that allthe engaging parts are smoothand will not mutilate the rope, and being made of non-corrodible and strong material it never rusts or breaks. It is also neat in appearance and effectual in results.
What I claim is- 1. As an improved article of manufacture,
a guy-rope key formed of a single piece of wire twisted together in such a manner as to form a sleeve at one end and at right angles to the twisted portion, and rings formed at the opposite ends of the twisted portion whereby thesleeve and ring portions lie at right angles to each other, substantially as described.
2. An improved article of manufacture consisting of a single piece of wire formed with a spiral sleeve, the extending strands of the wire being twisted together and the portion standing at'right angles to the sleeve, and rings formed at the ends of the twisted strands, and disposed at right angles tothe sleeve.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. I JOHN W. STEELE.

JOHN .F. TAGGART, EARL S. DOUGHERTY.
