WILLIAM B. MARSHALL, OF PARIS, IOWA.
WIRE-FENCE STRETGHER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 24, 1907.
Application filed March 25, 1907- Serial No. 364,454.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM B. MAR- SHALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paris, in the county of Lynn, State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wire-Fence Stretchers; 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 be quickly and easily adjusted and operated to effect a stretch The nature of the invention may be fully ascertained from the contrivance portrayed in the annexed drawings, forming a part of this specification, in view of which the invention will first be described with respect to its construction and mode of operation,
and then be pointed out in the subjoined claims.
Of the said drawingsFigure 1 is a side elevation of the invention showing it as in use. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse section in the plane 3 3, Fig. 1, looking toward the standards. Fig.4 is a transverse section in the same plane looking in the opposite direction.
Similar numerals of reference designate the same parts or features, as the case may be, wherever they. occur.
In the drawings 10 designates a fence-post that may be supposed to be firmly set in the ground, and 11 is a section of a woven wire fence that it is proposed to stretch up and staple to the post.
12 designates two uprights of a frame that has a cross-bar 13 on the top and intermediate cross bars 14 between it and the bottom of the uprights.
15 designates a brace consisting, as herein shown, of a plank extending out from the post 10 to a suitable extent at the outer end of which the uprights 12 are-located.
17 are brace-bars extending from the top of the uprights to the sides of the inner ends of the plank-brace 15, secured in position at both ends.
18 is a reel-shaft carrying a suitable spool or reel, 19, vlhich shaft is suitably journaled in the uprights l2 and is provided at one end with a crank 20, whereby the reel-shaft and its connections may be turned.
21 is a ratchet wheel secured on the shaft l8 near one of the uprights 12, upon which latter there is pivoted a pawl, 22, that keeps the shaft and reel from turning back during the process of stretching a section of fence.
23 designates clamp-bars secured to the section 10 of the fence, to the end portions of which there is secured a length of strong wire, or it may be a rod, 24, that is caught at a central point over a hook 25, the shank of which is swiveled in a pulley 26.
27 designates a rope or cable, one end of which is connected to the barrel of the reel or spool 19, and is thence passed back around the pulley 26, and forward to and about pulley, 28, swiveled on the shank of a hook 29 engaged with the cross-bar 13, (though it might as well be one of the cross-bars 14), the rope thence extending back again to be connected with the block of pulley 26.
It will now become plain that when the rope 27 is connected with the clamp-bars and the reel, as shown and explained, by turning the crank 20 of the reel-shaft, 18, the rope will be gradually wound on the reel with the effect of drawing the section 11 of the fence forward most forcibly, and when the fence is stretched to the degree of tension desired it may be staked to the post 10, and the machine moved forward to another post or point for another like operation.
The cross-bars 14 are provided for connecting thereto the hook 29 when the fence to be operated upon is lower relatively, than that shown, so that the pull upon the fence may be in the plane of its longitudinal wires.
It is obvious that the clamp-bar may be connected with longitudinal wires barely, instead of a section of woven wire fence, and be stretched by the device, in the same manner as that described with respect to the fence.
The rope may be unreeled by disengaging the pawl 22 from the ratchet-wheel 21, when saidlrope may be pulled out to the extent deslrec The contrivance described has been found very eflicient in practice, and without substantial change has been found adaptable to Various draft and hoisting purposes.
What is claimed is:
1. A wire-fence stretcher comprising two uprights and their cross bars, a reel shaft j ournaled in the uprights and provided with a reel and crank to operate it, a rope attached at one end to the reel, a pulley and means upon which it is swiveled connected with the end of the fence to be stretched, a second pulley swiveled on a hook adapted to be engaged with one of said cross-bars, the said rope being passed about the first-mentioned pulley and then about the second, and carried back and connected with the fence-engaging means and means to sustain the uprights in position.
2. A wire-fence stretcher comprising two uprights and their cross bars, a plank brace extending between the lower ends of the up plank-brace, a reel-shaft journaled in the uprights and provided with a reel and crank to operate it, a rope attached at one end to the reel, a pulley and means upon which it is swiveled connected with the end of the fence to be stretched, a second pulley swiveled on a hook adapted to be engaged with one of said cross-bars, the said rope being passed about the first-mentioned pulley and then about the second, and carried back and connected with the fence-engaging means.
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM B. MARSHALL. Witnesses:
N. B. RICHARDSON, A. A. DEWOODY.
