Description
y 30, 1933- F. A. JENKINS El AL 1,911,194
Patented May 3Q, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FLOYD A. JENKINS AND LEONARD W. PHILBBIGK, OF RANGER, TEXAS LOAD Brianna Application filed January 24, 1930. Seria1 No. 423,054.
This invention relates to load binding and handling apparatus and it has particular reference to a load binc er particularly adapted for use in binding pipe, well casing, logs and like commodities and the principal object of the invention resides in the provision of certain improvements in appa ratus of the character designated, rendering them more proficient for the purpose for which they are intended and with the added provision of greater strength and durability.
Another object of the invention resides in the provision of elements capable of securement to opposite ends of a chain or other flexible means surrounding the load, and which are further capable of assuming a universal position on the load, thereby to materially increase the contraction of the flexible means to securely bind the load.
A further object of the invention is manifest in the provision of a solid handle or lever so connecting the chain engaging elements that oscillating movement thereof will act to release or bind the load with little efiort, yet with maximum results.
WVith the foregoing objects as paramount, the invention has further and particular reference to its salient features of construc tion and operation of parts, to become manifest as the description proceeds, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved load binder embodying the features of the present invention.
Figure 2 is a further perspective view of the load binder, slightly enlarged, showing the contracted position of the load binder when operatively applied to bind the load, and V Figure 3 is a perspective view, showing the invention operatively applied in binding a series of pipe sections for ease in haulmg.
Continuing now more in detail with the drawing, 1 designates a handle, operating as a lever by which the structure is expanded or contracted about a load. It will be par- 0 ticularly noted that the handle is solid and requires no slats or grooves which might illustrate the invention in reversed position,
affect its strength and cause it to break under the severe strain to which it is some times subjected.
Pivoted at a to the nose of the handle 1, which latter is shown to be somewhat curved, is a bifurcated element 2, and pivoted in turn to this element at b is a clevis 3. A swivel ring e is mounted in theclevis 3 and has connected therewith a link 5, to which latter is connected a conventional hook 6.
It is of particular importance that all possible flexibility be obtained in the construction of a tool of this character for at least two reasons. First, that the tool cannot be fractured by severe strain due to its own rigidity, and further, that it may better conform to the surface over which it lies and thereby more securely bind the load. To fulfill this requirement with the most desirable and effective results, the elements composed of the bifurcated piece 2, clevis 3, swivel 4, link 5 and hook 6 are so joined together that maximum flexibility is obtained. This is equally true of the opposing chain engaging element, which latter is comprised of two arms 7, pivotally joined to the head of the handle 1 at a and at the opposite ends there is provided an interposing block 8 into which extends the swivel ring 9, to which is connected the link 10, and in turn, the hook 11.
It is understood that the Figures 1 and 2 and Figure 2 shows the tool in somewhat larger proportions than it appears in Figure 1. In the latter figure, the tool is shown as being extended, while in Figure 2, the tool is contracted, as also shown in Figure 3, operatively applied.
In operation, the chain or other flexible element 12 is placed about the load, which in the present case, for purposes of illustration, consists of a series of pipe sections. Whereupon the hooks 6 and 11 are engaged with the opposite ends of the chain 12. When so connected, the handle lever 1 reposes in the position shown in Figure 1, butis thrown to the opposite position, as in Figure 2, 100 bringing the bifurcated element 2 under the head of the handle 1, in which position the pivot point 0 of the arms 7 repose in the recess (Z of said bifurcated element 2, thereby locking the handle over dead center. W'hen so locked, no pull on the device will be normally sufiicient to throw the handle out of locked position.
It is obvious from the foregoing that the tool, due to its maximum flexibility and the solid feature of the handle 1, will afford very effective results in binding a load, more especially a load of pipe, due to the extraordinary weightand bulkiness of such a load, such flexibility allowing the tool to overreach the surface of the load, regardless of its irregularities without undue strain.
Manifestly, the construction shown is capable of considerable modification and such modification as is considered within the scope and meaning of the appended claim is also considered within the spirit and intent of the invention.
WVhat we claim is:
V In a device for holding objects in assembled relationship, the combination of a lever having one end curved upwardly and downwardly relative to the longitudinal area of said lever, the end of the curve terminating on a plane with the longitudinal axis of said lever, a curved, bifurcated link having pivotal connection to the extreme end of the curve of said lover, a clevis pivotally engaging the opposite end of said bifurcated link, a swivel carried by said clevis and having a hook flexibly connected thereto, a second clevis comprised of a pair of links having their ends pivoted on opposite sides of said lever at the approximatemiddle of the arc of the curved end of said lever, a block interposed between the opposite ends of said pair of links and having pivotal connection therewith, a swivel con- 7 nected to said block and having a hook flexibly connected thereto.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures.
