HENRY H. CUMMINGS, OF NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR T ANDREWS-BURR PAPER COMPANY, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPORATION 0F MASSACHU- TOGGLE.
. lowing description, in vconnection with theI accompanying drawings, is a specification, like numerals on the drawings representing like parts.
This invention relates to toggles and the like, such t'or example, as are used in the leather industry in connection with lat-ings or cords t'or securing or stretching hides in franies employed Ain-tannimg Aor other processes and among other objects, said invention aims to provide novel and improved meansy for securing the vtoggle to its lacing or cord.
The character ot the invention may be 4 best understood by reference to the following description of an illustrative embodiment thereof shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a hide secured to a frame by illustrative togglesand lacinos embodying my invention; Fig. i is a fu l size view. of one ot' lthe toggles; Fig. f, on an enlarged scale, is a section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4t is a section taken on line 4 4- ot Fig. $5; Fig. 5, onan enlarged scale, shows'the mode ot. attaching the toggle to the hide illustrated in Fig. l; and Fig. .(5 is a section taken on line (lm-ti ot Fie'. 5.
Referring to I `ig. l ot the drawings, 7 rel'n'esents a hide which is stretched or held within a` usual frame t), the edges otlv the hide being connected to said frame by oblong sticks or toggles 11 (Fig. 2) of squared or rectangular section, secured midway between their ends to lacings or cords 12S. in connecting the hide to the trame said cords are inserted through slits 15 near the edge ol. the hide. To prevent the cords from tearing through said slits and to distribute the pull on the hide, it is customary to wind the portion of each cord adjoining its toggle several turns'about the latter (see Fig. 5) in a direction such that when the cordv is pulled, its tendency to unwind will cause the toggle to roll on the surface ot' the hide away from the edge thereo't` and in a direction opposite to the pull on said cord. An
Application filed December 4, 1909.
Patented Sept. 13, 1910. serial No. 531,319.
toggle and the cord is pulled, causing the toggle to roll and wrap said edge portion of the hide tightly about the same (see Fig. (3). It will be apparent that the greater the pull on the cord the greater will be the tendency ot' the toggle to roll and` consequently, thc greater will be the security with which the hide is held. After the toggles are secured to the hide as described the `t'ree ends ot the cords are tied or secured to pins or in apertures 17 spaced at intervals-in said trame. Herctotore, so tar as `l am,aware'thc eord or lacing '1i-l has been connected tothe toggle 11 either by tying the. cord about the toggle or by securing thc'cord thereto by a Staple. loth ot these modes ot attachment are objectionable tor a variety ot' reasons. Among others the cord 1s not held with sntlielent security to the toggle and when pulled, under the heavy strain to which the cord is subjected, it is liable to slip or become. detached from the toggle, and -furthermore, in being fastened about or to the exterior ot' the toggle it bulges out and interferes with the Ytree winding otl the cord about said tog fle.
h y invention contemplates novel and improved means, which l will now describe, for etl'ectively securing the cord to the toggle and without the objections above ret'erred to.
The toggle herein embodying my inven tion may be similar in outline to the toggle ll described. lte'terring to Figs. 2 and 4, this toggle at a pointl preferably midway between its ends may be provided with a hole it) which may be bored or otherwise formed transversely olf the length o't said toggle. This hole is adapted to receive an end portion ot' the cord 13 'which may be doubled on itselt to term a bight. Q3 comprising leg portions 2l and 2! ot sutlicient thickness Substantially to till said hole. The bight is tucked into one end ot' said holevand extends herein nearly to the opposite end ot' said hole. To secure said bight into said hole a =peg 25 may be driven or otherwise introduced into a hole-2'( punched or otherwise t'ormed transversev to and intersecting with the hole I9 referred to, said hole beingpreterably otl'set lfrom the longitudinal axis of said toggle to provide a substantial extent of material to resist the pull on Said peg as more t'ully hertarl'ter deserilnd. The peg 25 may be ot' any material or 'form desired, but in practice a wooden peg Ot' squared 01 subleg portions 21 and 22 of the bight23 Without injury or mutilation thereof, the peg may be formed with a Wedge end 29 which when forced into said hole 27, spreads said leg portions and is followed by the body of the peg which tightly pinches or compresses said leg portions against the Wall of the hole and prevents Withdrawal of said cord therefrom. In practice, it is found convenient to make the toggle of soft Wood although any material may be used as desired. When sott Wood is used it is found that the pressing of the portions of the bight by the peg as described, compresses lor forms indentat-ions 3l (Fig. et) in the adjacent portions of the wall of the hole, the portions of the cord crowded into said indentations increasing the resistance to the Withdrawal of the cord vfrom the toggle. A peg of-squared or rectangular forni is very effective for holding the cord since the vcorners of said peg cooperate With the wall of the hole 19 and resist any tendency of the cord to render around the peg. If the squared peg is driven into la circular hole the corners of said peg will be dulled-or rounded suiliciently to prevent cutting the cord or other injury thereto. If desired, glue or any adhesive may be used further to secure said toggle, a cord Inaving a portion contained biglit into said hole 19 or to further secure said peg 25 into its Ahole 27.
While I have illustrated the'toggle herein as used for connecting a hide to a frame, it will be understood that said toggle may be used for a variety of other purposes.
By my invention is provided a connection between the coid or lacing and the toggle which is extremely simple and compact ink construction, and being contained Within the toggle is neatl in appearance "and does not interterein any way ivith the winding. of the cord about the'toggle. Not only is the cord held to the toggle with greater security than by any means hitherto known to ine, but also the connection ymay be inade more expeditiously and with less cost than by previous methods.
llaving described one embodiment of my invention without limiting myself thereto, l
what ,l claim as new and c esii'c to secure by ,Letter-s' latcntis:
l. As an article of manufacture, -a toggle having intersecting holes therein, a cord having a biglit entered in one of said holes, and a'peg in the other of said holes between the legs of said bight .for holding said cord in said toggle.

K 3. An article of the class described, comprisingl a toggle 11, a cord 13 having a bi ht 23 Wit in a hole in said toggle and a Wed e. pointed peg 25 set in a hole in saidtoggtclre i i and between the legs of said bight.
4. An article of manufacture, comprisin Van elongated stick, a cord havingan en portion entered-in a transverse holeintersoj mediate the ends of said stick and a peg permanently secured in said stick and pinching said cord end portion against the wal'l of said hole to secure said cord to said stick. 1 5. In an article of the .class described, a.
toggle, a cord and vmeans for securing one to the other comprising a squared peg permanently driven into said toggle-across said cord for binding an end cord against the Wall of a ho ein said tog le.
6. In an article of the class 'describet a toggle, a cord and Wedge vmeans crossingan end portion of -said cord and permanently pinching the latter in a hole in said toggle.
7. In an article of the class described, a
Within a hole in said tog e and a peg and an adhesive for securing said cord Within said hole.
8. An article of thev class described, comprising a toggle, a cord having a bight of sufficient thicknesssubstantially to till a hole in said toggle'and a Wedge peg forspreading leg portions of said bight and pinching said portions against the 'Wall f said hole.
9. A device of the class described conivprsing a toggle, a cord having Ya bight tucked into a hole in said toggle, a peg for pinching the legs of said bight against the" wall et' said hole and an a'dliesive further to secure said biglit in said toggle.
In testimony whereof, I have' signed my` name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
