ROBERT LEE WARREN, OF WARDELL, MISSOURI.
WIRE-FENCE TOOL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented April 2, 1907.
Application filed April 30, 1906. Serial No. 314,532.
To all whmn it may concern.
Be it known that 1, ROBERT LEE TVARREN, a citizen of the United States, residing at \Nardell, in the county of Peniscot, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ire-Fence Tools; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to wire-tools, and more particularly to that class which are designed for the purpose of kinking loose fencewires to tighten the same; and the invention has for its object to provide a simple tool of this character which may be manufactured from a bar of metal and which may be effectually used without danger of injury to the hands of the user, a disadvantage which is prevalent in practically all of the tools of this class now on the market.
To this end the invention resides in the provision of a tool of this character having its wire-engaging portion disposed at right angles to the handle of the tool, so that when the device is in use the said handle will lie between the line-wire being tightened and the adjacent line-wire of the fence.
A further object of the invention is to provide a kinking-j aw of such construction that it will not injure the wire being kinked.
W'ith the above and other objects in view the present invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the tool. Fig. 2 is an end view thereof. Fig. 3 is a detail transverse sectional view on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a front view of a slightlymodified form of tool, showing a construction in which toolhandles are employed; and Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of a still further modification of the invention. Fig. 6 is an elevation of the tool shown in Fig. 4.
Referring more specifically to the drawings, the tool, as shown, comprises a handle and a jaw member and is preferably formed from a bar of metal, which is bent adjacent one of its ends at right angles to form the jaw member of the device, and the said bent portion of the bar which forms the jaw member of the device is flattened, as shown, and is provided in one of its edges with a notch for the reception of the line-wire of the fence to be twisted.
The numeral 5 denotes the handle of the tool, and 6 the right-angularly-bent jaw member. As stated, this jaw member is flattened and has a portion extending laterally beyond the vertical plane occupied by the handle of the tool, the remaining portion of the jaw member being located in a common plane with the said handle. By this con struction it will be observed that when the tool is engaged with the line-wire of the fence the handle of the tool will lie in spaced relation to the said wire and the remaining wires of the fence, and thereby insure against injury to the hands of the operator should the fence be of barbed wire. Furthermore, it will be observed .that by reason of the fact that the j aw member of the tool lies in a plane at right angles to that occupied by the handle of the tool the said handle when the tool is engaged with a line-wire of a fence will lie between the said line-wire and one of the adj acent line-wires thereof and that hence the tool may be used with greater ease than if the jaw was otherwise positioned.
The notch previously mentioned is indicated by the numeral 7 and has its edges in parallel relation for the greater portion of their length and rounded, as at 8, to prevent injury to the wire while the same is being kinked. As stated, the edges of the notch are parallel for the greater portion of their length; but adjacent their outer ends the said edges diverge, as at 9, to permit ready engagement of the tool with the wires of the fence. It will be understood that by locating the edges of the notch in parallel relation with respect to each other the tool is eflectuall prevented from slipping from the wire and or this reason the side edges of the jaw are also in parallel relation.
In the form of my invention shown in Fig. 4 I have provided a jaw member 10 of precisely the same construction as the jaw member shown in the first three figures of the drawings, but have located the said jaw member upon a bar 11 and intermediate the ends of the said bar, so that one-half of the bar will lie upon each side of the said jaw member, the jaw member, as shown, being located in a plane at right angles to the plane occupied by the handle-bar 11. In order that the form of tool just described may be operated without danger of injury to the hands of the user, I provide at each. end of the said handle-bar a hand-grip 12, which extends at right angles from the bar, but in an op osite direction to'the jaw 10.
n the form of my invention shown in Fig. 5 the handle of the tool, which in this figure is indicated by the numeral 13, may be of any desired construction, such as a handle from a hatchet or hammer, and upon the handle is disposed a sleeve 14, which carries the jaw member of the device. The said sleeve is preferably of greater thickness intermediate its ends than at the said ends, and from the said thickened portion of the sleeve extends the said jaw member of the tool, the member being, as in the case of the other forms of the invention, located in a plane at right angles to the plane occupied by the said handle 13.
angles to the plane occupied by the handle,
the extreme outer portion of the edges of said bifurcation being diverged the remaining portion of the edges of the bifurcation being located in parallel planes.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ROBERT LEE WARREN.
