TOOL FOR HANDLING WIRE.

Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June I, IQ3I5.
Application filed January 10, 1912. Serial No. 670,394.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RALPH H. NORTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Tool for Handling Wire, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a tool which is designed and particularly adapted for use in binding together with wire box shocks or other packages of boards or strips of lumher, and it Will. therefore be described and explained with reference to such use, although it will be seen that the tool has considerable general utility for other purposes as well.
The object of the invention is the provision of a grasping handle which may be readily applied to a wire and which is equipped with convenient means for instantly gripping and releasing it, and which therefore may be quickly applied or shifted to grip the wire at any desired point and enables the user to manipulate it in binding up a shook with the greatest possible facility, and without discomfort to the hands.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a central longitudinal section (partly in elevation) on the line 11 of Fig. 3; Fig. 2 a similar view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3; Fig. 3 a transverse section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 a view showing the manner in which the tool is designed to be used.
The body or casing of the tool, preferably made of aluminum, to attain strength and lightness, comprises a central grasping or handle portion A, which, at what will be termed the lower end, is provided with a hard steel bushing 13 having a rounded orilice. Extending from the handle at the opposite, or upper end, are a pair of fiat.
end plates C C, between which are mounted the gripping elements of the tool, consisting of a hard steel roller D, and a hard steel sliding plate E having a serrated inner edge opposite such roller. The outer edge of said sliding plate is formed with a cam surface coacting with a hard steel roller F, and a compression spring, seated in a cylindrical chamber formed in the top of said plate and surrounding a pin projecting from a partition block G, tends to press said sliding plate downwardly and, through the action of the cam surface thereof on the roller F, toward the roller D. A pivoted release lever II, operated manually by the projecting tall piece thereof, and at its inner end engaging a notch in the sliding plate E,
serves to enable the user to slide the plate against the stress of its spring and away from the roller D. A partition block I serves to close the space between the plates C above the roller D and opposite the block G, the wire way lying between such block and the roller D on one side, and the sliding plate E on the other.
It is obvious that with the construction described, when the lever II is operated the wire may be readily inserted downwardly through the tool between the sliding plate E and roller D, and that when the lever is released any strain tending to pull the wire downwardly through the tool will only serve to jam the sliding plate more tightly between the roller F and the wire, and thus more securely hold the latter.
It may be briefly explained that in the work for which the tool is designed, a shook or set of boards is secured together by a pair of wires, each secured together at its ends by a flat malleable fastener which is transversely bent at right angles and provided with suitable notches or perforations upon each wing for securing the wire thereto. The tool having been threaded upon the wire (conveniently carried upon an elevated spool), the end is secured to one wing of a fastener located at an edge of the shook and then carried around the shook under as strong tension as can be exerted, and secured to the other wing of the fastener, and the wire clipped for a succeeding tie. By means of my device the grip on the wire may be readily shifted, the wire may be drawn strongly without cutting the hands, and the wire fastened by coiling it around the upstanding notched lug with which the ordinary form of fastener is provided with the greatest facility by a quick circular movement of the lower end of the tool around such lug, the lug being then hammered down and the wire severed.
I claim:
1. A tool of the character described comprising a casing exteriorly forming a handle and having a wire way extending longitudinally therethrough, a spring-pressed gripping plate formed with a cam surface mounted to slide in said casing adjacent said 7 vided with a cam surface, a roller mounted in said casing and arranged to coact with said cam surface onthe sliding plate to 3. A tool of the character described comprising a casing having a handle portion and a pair of end plates, a spring-pressed sliding gripping plate mounted between said end plates, said gripping plate being provided with serrations upon one edge and RALPH H. NORTON.
