- To all whomit mcyictncernf Be it known that I, ELIP'HA'LET I-IILLARDQa citizen of theUnited States, residing at Meri;
den, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented anew and use- .-ful Improvement in Lugs for Tie-Bands or Hoo s for Silos, &c.; and I do hereby declare the ollowing, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the lettersof reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, and which said drawings constitute-part of this specification, and re resent, in-- F1 ure 1 a p an view of a lug for tie bands for si 0s, 62c. constructed in accordance with my invention and shown as ap lied to a band. Fig. 2 a sectional view on t eline a.-l of Fig. 3 a plan view of my improved 4 aside view of the same. Fig. 5 a sectional View on the line c-(Z of Fig. 3.
This invention relates to an improvement in lugs for tie bands or hoops for silos, coal oclgets, water tanks and other structures ormed from wood which are bound together by encircling bands or hoops, the object {of the invention being a sim le construction of lug b 'which the ends of t e bands or hoops may he held and the draft so applied as .to
prevent bending; and the invention consists in the construction hereinafter described an '1 particularly recited in the claims.
- In the construction .of silos and other large strdc tures considerable strain is applied to the tie bands or hoops and owing to shrinkage these bands niust frequently be adjusted, and it is desirable that. the ends of the band should not project tangentially be- I yond the surface of the structure, or in other words, the ends of the band should maintain the curvature given thcnr'whcn applied. In some instances it is desirable to employ a spring between the lug and the nut on the ends of the bands to compensate for shrink-- age, and for such purpose one form of iny lug as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 oi the drawings,
' will consist of housings 2 and 3 arranged one hbove the other and provided respectively 1 with tail pieces 4 and 5 which are grooved,
-the under surface of the housing and tail pieces being curved substantially to thccireuinference of the structure to which they are to be a plied. While the inner surface of the lug 1s bowed .to correspond substans .tially to the curvature. of the structureto which it is applied, the inner surface of the lug is cut away so thatit bears against the structuronly at four points, as shown in 4 'of-the drawings, and so that water runnin down the side of the structure will escape eneath the lug and consequently not beheld thereby. This avoids rotting the structure beneath the lug and permits practically the entire surface beneath the lug'to be painted." .The housings also are arranged in a plane substantially parallel with. the.
plane of the structure to which they are to be applied and so that if the b'ands project for a considerable distance beyond the lugs they will not extend outward to any extent locyond the structure and hence will not bein position to injure cattle should they run against them." Within each housing isa shoulder 6v against which one end of the spirallspring 7 is seated, the outer end of which housing has an opening larger in diameter than the diameter of the spring 7 and having a frontwall 8 against which a nut 9 appliedto the threaded end 10 of the band 11 may bear, the angle of the frontwall being at right angles to the inclination of the band which is curved. to pass through the lug.
For convenience of casting the upperodge of the front wall of the housing is cutaway. If the spring is not required the housings 2 and 3 may be made considerably smaller, as shown in ,Figs. 8, 4 and 5 of the drawings;
but as in the construction, described the housing will have the front walls inclined at the same angle and will have the some grooved tail-pieces, ,being suhstuntially the have their ends straightened before they can he tightcncd being curv'cd in the nuts.
l. A lug for tic bands or hoops for silos, &,c., comprising two housings arranged sidc by side each housing having a rearward! y ex,
tending grooved tail, said housing and tail conforming to the curvature ot 'a'he structure to which they are to be applied and a portion of the inner surfaceof the edges of the housing and tail cut away whereby openings are provided between the lug and the structure,
correspondingto the curvature of the struc-v ture to which theyare to be applied, a por- J tion of the inner surface of the edges of the housing and tail piece cut away, whereby openings are formed between the lugs and structure, the said housings each formed with shoulders at ,the rear, and springs mounted in said housing and having bear ings againfl mid shoulders. substantiallv M described.
In testimony whereofl have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribe 20 mg witnesses.
