CORN-FODDER TIE Patented July 23, 1907.
Application tiled April 11, 1907. Serial No. 367,564.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK BULLINGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas, in the county of Seneca and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Corn-Fodder Tie, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to ties for use upon bundles of corn fodder and the like and is designed as a substitute for the twine which is ordinarily used for this purpose.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple and durable tie which can be manufactmed at comparatively slight cost and which has simple and efficient means for fastening it about a bundle.
A still further object is to provide novel means whereby the tie may be conveniently grasped for the purpose of tightening it upon a bundle.
With these and other objects in View the invention consists of certain novel featines of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims` In the accompanying drawings is shown the preferred form of the invention.
In said drawings: Figure l is a perspective View of the tie; and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the fastener. i
Referring to the figures by characters of reference, l is a wire link having each end portion bent to form a loop or eye 2, the terminal of each of said end portions being twisted around the wire as shown at 3 so as to prevent the loop from pulling open when subjected to strains. Any desired number of these links are employed` and the loops of the adjoining links loosely engage each other so that a continuous chain is produced, the engaging loops forming knots for the purpose hereinafter described. The loop 2 at one end of the chain loosely engages an eye 4 extending from the center of a grip 5 which is preferably formed of a length of stiff wire looped at its center to form the eye 4, The loop 2 at the other end of the chain engages the coiled ends G of a wire loop '7 on which is mounted a fastener of novel form. This fastener consists of a inet-al strip 8 constituting the body of the fastener and having one end bent inward to form a sleeve 9 through which the loop 7 extends. The other end of the strip 8 is curved inwardly as shown at l0 and provided with a longitudinal slot ll whereby jaws are produced between which any one of the links l is designed to be placed. The loops or eyes 2 of the links are so proportioned that they can not be pulled through the slot ll. A thumb plate l2 is riveted or otherwise secured upon the strip 8 and has its free end curved outwardly to form an Vabutment for the thumb of the operator While the tie is being tightened upon the bundle.
In the drawings a bundle of fodder has been indicated by dotted lines at A. When it is desired to secure a tie about the bundle the chain made up of the links l is placed therearo und and the fastener is grasped in one hand with the end of the thumb resting against the thumb plate l2 as shown by dotted lines in Fig. l. The grip 5 is grasped in the other hand and the fastener and grip pulled toward each other until one of the links l can be inserted into slot ll. The eye or loop 2 of the inserted link will prevent the chain from slipping out of engagement with the slotted portion of the strip 8, and the fodder will therefore be securely tied. It will be obvious that to untie the fodder it is merely necessary to pull the link l out of the slot ll.
It will be seen that as the tie is formed entirely of metalthe same can be used over and over. again. Because of the peculiar construction of the chain the entire device can be made into a small compact bundle which can be readily carried in the pocket.
What is claimed is:
1. In a tie the combination with a flexible element having a plurality of knots; of a fastener connected thereto and comprising a chain-engaging strip, and a thumb piece upon the strip.
2. In a tie the combination with a chain; of a fastener connected thereto and comprising a chain engaging strip, and a thumb plate secured upon said strip.
3. A tie comprising a chain and a fastener secured to said chain, said fastener comprising a strip having a curved and slotted chain engaging portion, and a thumb plate upon said strip.
l. In a tie the combination with a chain and a grip at one end thereof; of a fastener connected to the chain and comprising a chain engaging strip, and a thumb plate upon said strip.
5. In a tie the combination with a chain and a grip connected thereto; of a fastener' comprisingr a body strip having a curved and slotted chain engaging portion, and a thumb plate upon and outstanding from the body strip.
6. In a tie the combination with a chain and a grip connected thereto; ot' a fastener comprising a body strip having an outwardly extending, slotted, chain engaging portion, an outwardly curved thumb plate upon the body strip, and a loop connection between the body strip and the chain.
in testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
FRANK BULLINGER.
