STRAINING WIRE.
Patented Dec. 25, 1906.
Application filed January 23,1906- Serial No. 297,628.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM NEPEAN- I'IUTOHISON, engineer, residing at 57 Peckham road, Camberwell, London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Straining Wire, and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descri tion of the invention, such as will enable OEIGIS skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The object of my invention is to provide a wire-straining device of such kind that upon its application to a slack wire the wire is tightened by simply rotating the device, which by reason of its formation, as herein after described, remains upon the wire so strained as a permanency, keeping the wire in a taut condition.
My invention, which possesses advantages over others now in use, comprises a straininglever and a block of metal, each of peculiar form and neither of which can be used alone.
The aforesaid block will hereinafter be termed the strainer, as that word has been commonly applied to articles previously in vented in the same class.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I will now proceed to describe same, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters indicate like parts.
Figure 1 is a side view of the strainer. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the strainer and the strainerbar, showing also the wire. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the strainer-bar removed from the strainer.
In the drawings, A is the base of the strainer. This is preferably of semicircular section, but may be rectangular or otherwise.
The base A has a pillar or drum B, by preference centrally disposed, and this pillar or drum B is bifurcated at its extremity, the two prongs B and B being a little spread at the side, and at the termination of each prong on opposite sides is formed an overhanging point B and B, respectively. These I are with the object of preventing the wire D slipping off the strainer.
The base A is provided with a hook C and l C on the left and right hand, respectively, the opening of the hook being the farthest from or opposite to the point of the stem- 1 prong to which it is nearest. The hooks C and are to prevent the wire unwinding after straining.
The straining-lever is marked E and may be made of a strip of flat iron or steel. It is bent to the shape shown and handle E formed so that the straining operation can be performed without the handles getting in the way of the wire strained.
Two clips E and E capable of renewal, are placed adjacent to the center and at such distance that the strainer can be slipped between them, as shown.
In order to strain, tighten, and hold taut any slack wire, the strainer is placed in positionbetween the handle-clips so that the wire passes between the strainer-prongs B and B By rotating the lever the wire becomes strained u on the drum.
I/Vhen t 1e wire is sul'liciently taut, the hooks C and C are allowed to engage with the wire,
may be mentioned also that unless a lever be used it is next to impossible to release the strainer when once in its position on the taut wire.
I claim In a wire-tightening device, the combination, with a strainer-bar provided with means for engaging the wire; of an operating-lever having cranked handles at its ends, and two removable clips secured to the middle part of the said lever and holding the said bar between them crosswise of the said lever.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
