TIE
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 10, 1907.
Application tiled November 5,1906. Serial N0 342,078.
To all 'whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM R. BALL, a citizen ot' the United States, residing at Richmond, in the county ol' Henrico and State et' Virginia, have invented a certain new and useful Tie, ol' which the lollowing is a specilication, rei'erence being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to ties or tie straps t'or securing the ends ot' driving belts and the like together and lor tying and securing boxes and other packages lor transportation.
The object. ol the invention is to provide a metallic tie sir-ap which may be readily inserted through slits in the extremities ot' a driving belt or passed around an ordinary box or package, the said tie having novel means whereby the ends thereol' may be quickly iastened together and drawn tight, said fastening means being so arranged that both extremities ot' the tie may be concealed and covered, leaving no projecting edges to catch the hands or clothingl or other contiguous objetts.
With tlLe above and other objects in view, the nature ot' which will more l'ully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement ol parts herein t'ully described, illustrated and claimed In the accompanying drawingszligure lV is a plan view ol the end portions ol' a driving belt.. showing the sa le connected by means oi a pair of the ties ol this invention, Fig. 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section through the same, showing by dotted lines the manner ol' bending in the tabs or wings. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing how one end oi the tie may be bent outward over and upon the inturned tabs or wings. Fig, lt is a 'plan view showing a pair ol ties applied to a box. the ties therein shown being especially adapted l'or use upon boxes. packages and the like. Fig. 5 is a plan view ot' one of the blanks before being bent up,
The tie consists ot' a strip ot .metal ot' airy suitable gage and width and any desired or required length. and when designed lor irse as a connection for the ends ol a lelt, the greater part of the strip is lelt plain or without the tabs 4or wings hereinafter more particularly described. The ends ol the belt are apeitured or provided with slits l. and the body 2 ol' the strip is inserted through said slits as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 and overlapped on one side ol the belt, prei'erably the outer side. or that side which does not come in contact with the wheels around which the belt passes.
At a suitable distance from the end of the tie, the latter is provided with oppositely projecting tabs or wings 4 formed integrally with the body of the strip,
and said tabs are bent inward and downward upon the overlapped portions ol the tie. as shown, alter which the tie is drawn tautV and the outer end portion thereof then bent outward and over upon the inbent tabs, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and S, said end portion being then carried along the outer ply ot the overlapped parts ot' the strip.
Another set ot oppositely arranged tabs 5, located nearer the extremity ol the tie are then bent inward over the end ot' the tie, as shownv in Fig. 2, so as to hold said end down and also cover and conceal the outer extremity ol the tie, thus doing away with any projecting edge which might catch in adjacent objects. In order, however, to make the fastening extra secure, the outer' end of the tie may be made somewhat longer as shown in Fig. 3. so as to project beyond the end tabs in which ease the extreme end portion el the tie may be bent outward over and down upon the inbent terminal tabs 5, thus giving a double hook or gri p where extra strength is required.
In the manufacture of the tie for boxes and other packages. extra long strips will be made, and said strips will be provided at frequent intervals with two sets ol oppositely rrojecting tabs t and 5, as shown in Fig. 4. Such strips may be cut in two at the point necessary to provide the requisite length oi tie, and the ties may then be passed around the box as shown in Fig. 4. the ends or' the ties being overlapped and secured together by means oi the tabs or wings 4 land in the same manner as above described in connection with the belt ends.
lt will be apparent that the tie may be put to a number' oi' uses similar to those above referred to; further that the proportions ol the tie and the l'requency ot' the sets ot tabs or wings may be varied to suit requirements. 'lhe tie may also be removed with ease and used repeatedly without irnpairing its utility.
Instead ot' cutting ott the strips to the proper length bel'ore passing the same around a box or package, the strips may be placed around such box or package` drawn tight and fastened. and then cut off, such method permitting the strip to be handled with greater facility and drawn round the box or package more tightly.
I claime- A tie for the purpose specified consisting,l of a metal strip of uniform width and suitable length provided at intervals in the length thereof with a plurality of sets ol oppositelv arranged tabs, each set comprising two pairs ot tabs arranged at a distance apart and adapted to be folded inward to engage one end portion of the body 01 the strip and tasten the two ends of the strip together when overlapped and bent, substantially as described.
In testimony whereot I aiiix my signature in presence ol two witnesses.
