THOMAS A. HALDEMAN, OF OONCORDIA, KANSAS.
WlRE-STRETCHER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 30, 1906.
Application filed September 15,1905. Serial No. 278,637.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS A. HALDE- MAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Concordia, in the county of Cloud and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Wire-Stretcher, of which the following is a specification.
Th1s invention relates to wirestretchers', and has for an object to provide a device of the class embodying new and improved features of convenience, durability, simplicity, utility, and efliciency.
A further object of the invention is to provide a wire-stretcher embodying a lever having a wire-claw and a wire-grip, whereby different wires and wires under different cir- (oumstances may be conveniently and efficiently handled and stretched.
A further object of the invention is to provide a lever with an im roved form of pivoted handle for manipulating the grip and embodying a wire-cutter, a staple-hammer, and a ulling-claw.
With these and other objects in view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in theappended claim. I
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a View of the improved wire-stretcher in side elevation. Figs. 2 and 3 are perspective views of the parts disconnected.
Like'characters of reference indicate corresiponding parts in all of the figures of the rawmgs.
In its preferred embodiment the improved wire-stretcher forming the subject-matter of this application comprises a lever 10, having at one end a bifurcated claw-head 11. Adjacent to the claw corresponding recesses 12 12 are formed in the op osite sides of the lever and with their wal s adjacent to the claw serrated, as at 13 13, to form gripping surfaces I A handle member 14 is provided having a head bifurcated to form the similar members 15 15 and pivoted, as at 16, with the members within the recesses 12 12. The head members are provided with serrated surfaces 17 17, disposed in opposition to and for co- 0 eration with the gri ping-surfaces 13 13 of the recesses. At t eir extremities the head members 15 15 are provided with guards 18 18 to close the gripping-space and prevent a displacement of the wire from the grip. I
It will be noted that the guards 18 18 are arranged at the outer or longer ends of the serrated surfaces of the head members, and thus roject over a portion only of the stock of the lmplement adjacent to the grip-surface 13 13. Consequently the guards are withdrawn from osition over the spaces between the opposing serrated surfaces at an early stage of the opening movement of the lever 14, so that the presence of the guards does not interfere with the ready insertion and removal of the wire or the removal of the implement from the wire after the cramping and stretching action iscompleted, while at the same time providing ample protection to the wire to prevent its accidental displacement when in position between the gripping-jaws. The device is also provided with the wire-clipper, comprising the shear members 19 and 20, a hammer 21, carried by the handle member, and a pulling-claw 22 at the extremity of the handle.
It will be readily understood that in operating the wire may be engaged by the claw 1.1 or in the grip between the serrated faces 13 and 17. Whichever way the wire is engaged the lever is moved angularly about the post, thereby drawing the wire taut. The use and o eration of the ulling-claw, hammer, and.
c ipper will be ful y understood without a descri tion thereof.
aving thus described the invention, what is claimed is In a wire-stretcher, a lever having at one end a pair of curved gripping-surfaces, a handle pivoted to the lever and provided with oppositely-curved gri ping-surfaces and integral guards carried y the handle and projecting beyond the gripping-surfaces of the same at the outer portions thereof, and ada ted to overlap the gripping-surfaces of the ever only at the completion of the movement of the handle.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
