,FUBRING AND FASTENIN G DEVICE,

Application filed December 26, 1923. Serial No. 682,835.

My invention relatesjto a device for p0- sitioning and securing plastering netting,

or the like, in spaced relation to thesheath- 7 ingor wall of a building. More particular-v ly, the device is of thetype patented byme on November 14, 1922, and comprisinga fur-.

ring member which is slidably and frictionally held on a fastening member and arranged to cooperate with a pI0]eCl310I1"0I1 the latter to grip the netting wire after the device has been driven into position. I

An object of the invention is to provide a fastener of the character described which will grip the netting with a resilient pressure.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described which is extremely simple and inexpensive to manufacture. g

The invention possesses other objects and features of advanta e, some of which, with the foregoing, .will e set forth in the following description of the preferred form of my invention which is illustrated .in the drawings accompanying and forming part of the specification. It is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the. showing made by the said drawings and'd'escription, as I may adopt variations of the preferred form within the scopevof my invention as set forth in the claims.

Referring to said drawings: H Figure 1 is a vertical section through a portion of a wall showing the devices positioned thereon before and after being driven into place. 7

Figure 2 is a side elevation of a wall fragment showing thenetting secured by one of the devices. i Figure 3 is a perspective view of the device. a

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the device showing a slightly modified form of the fastener. v

The device of my invention, as illustrated in Figures 1 to 3, comprises a fastening member 6 having a shank 7 provided with a point 9 at one'end and a wire'engaging offset portion 10ladjacent the other end. The offset portion 10 is provided at its end with a depending projection 12, the lower end of such projection being indicated by 19.

Slidably carried by and frictionally held on the shank is a wire spacing member 13 encircling the shank. In the present embodiment the fastener is in the form of a wire strands resting in the notch .22.

helical spring, the coils 14 ofwhich are normally spaced apart. The member 13 is pri-:

marily carriedvon the shank in close proximity to the point 9, but after the device isplaced on the wall and the fastener, driven home, the spacer will lie adjacent the head end of the shank with one or more strands of the wire netting 21 gripped between the spacing member and the offset portion 10..

The end of the spacing member'nearest the point of the shankv is provided with a transversely extending portion 7 161 which: is

adapted to bear against the wall 17 when the device is arranged on the wall. The

other end of the spacingmember'is pr ovided with a loop extension 18 in which the pointed extremity 19 of the depending projection 12 is adapted to engage when the fastener is driven into place. A notch 22 is preferably formed in the wire adjacent the base of the loop for the reception of the Wire strands.

To apply the device, it is primarily 'inserted through the wire netting sothat the spacer will lie between the sheathing 24.0r

paper 25 and the netting, with one or morefastener is then driven into the sheathing so that the offset portion 10 will be forced The against the wire whereby the latter will be seated and held in the crotch. With the members thus positioned, the extremity 19' will be inserted in the loop .18 and relative rotation of the spacing member with respect fo'rceis supplied to cause a permanentcom pression' of the spacer spring. In thismanjuring the netting. In actual practice the spring is usually compressed to the limit.

Thus it will be clear that not only will the to the fastening member is prevented. In V drivingthe fastener in position, a .suflicient netting be effectively held, but itwill be uniformly positioned in spaced. relation from the'sheathing. I

In the device as illustrated to 3 the projection ,12 of the fastener is pointed in its outer end and is made of such 1 length that itwill project into the sheathing in Figures 1 I when the fastener is driven in place. In the device as illustrated in Figure 4, the foregoing feature is dispensed with.

I claim: 1. In a'device of the character described,

a fastening member comprising a shank having an offset portion for engaging plastering netting, and a spacing member comprising a coil of wire frictionally and slidably held on said shank adapted to cooperate with said offset portion to hold said netting therebetween.

2. In a device of the character described, a fastening member comprising a shank having a point at one end and an offset portion at the other end adapted for engaging plastering netting, and a spacing member comprising a wire coiled about said shank and provided with an extension adapted'for cooperation with said offset portion to hold the plastering netting therebetween.

3. In a device of the character described, a fastening member comprising a shank having a point at one end and an offset portion adjacent the other end, said offset portion having a depending projection, and a spacing member adapted to cooperate with said ofi'set portion to hold plastering netting therebetween and con'iprising a wire coiled about said shank and slidabiy and friction ally held thereon, and a loop extension of said wire extending transversely of said shank adapted to receive said depending projection offset portion when the netting is engaged between said first extension and the spacing member.

4. In a device of the character described, a fastening member comprising a shank having apoint at one end and a wire engaging offset portion adjacent the other end, and a spacing member slidably and frictionally held on said shank adapted to cooperate with said offset portionto hold a wire therebetween and arranged to be compressed longitudinally on said shank.

5. In a device of the character described, a fastening member comprising a shank having a wire engaging offset portion adjacent an end thereof, and a spacing member slidably carried by said fastening member arranged to cooperate with said offset portion to hold a Wire therebetween and comprising a helical spring encircling said shank and normally having the coils spaced from each other.

6. In a device of the character described,

a fastening member comprising a shank having a wire engaging offset with a depending pro ection, and a spacing member comprising a coil of wire frictionally and slidably held on said shank, said spacing memher having an extension formed with a loop, the depending projection being provided with a part to enter the loop of the extension of the spacingmember, V

7. In a device of the character described, a fastening, member, comprising a I shank having a point at one end and a Wire engaging offset portion adjacent the other end,

and a spacing member slidably held on said shank and compressible in a direction parallel to said shank, said wire engaging offset portion'adapted to cooperate with said spacing member to hold a wire therebetween, and said spacing member adapted to be compressed upon driving said shank into a support and when so compressed exerting a pressure outwardly against said wire engaging offset portion.

8. In a device of the character described, a fastening member comprising a shank having a point at oneend and a wire engaging oiiset portion adjacent the other end,- and a'spacing member slidably held on said shank and compressible in a direction parallel to said shank, said wire engaging offset portion adapted to cooperate with said spacing member to hold ahwire therebetween, and said spacing member adapted to be compressed upon driving said shank into a support and when so compressed exerting a pressure outwardly against said wire engaging offset portion, said offset portion being provided with a depending projection adapted to assist in holding a wire on said spacing member adjacent said" shank of the fastening member.

9. In a device of the character a fastening member comprising a shank having a netting engaging offset portion thereon, and a spacing member formed of wire normally carried by said shank to resist removal therefrom, said spacing member described a being provided with a projection lying in spaced relation to said offset portion, said spacing member adapted to be moved on said shank to bring said projection into'cooperative relation with said offset portion to hold netting therebetween, said spacing member having a transversely extending projection at its lower end adapted to bear against a support when said shank is driven therein.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto" set my hand at Oakland, California, this 30th day of November, 1923.

JOHN L. SULLIVAN.
