BOX-STRAP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,495, dated September 21, 1886. Application filed February 10, 1886. Serial hlo. 191,420. (No model.)
Figure 1 represents a plan view of a portion of a box-strap embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 represents a side or edge view of said box-strap and Fig. 3 represents upon a smaller scale than the two previous figures a perspective view of a box strapped with my improved band or strap.
My invention relates to straps or bands made from wire for fastening boxes, cases, and
other merchandise packages to prevent their breaking open in transportation; and it consists of two strong main wires twisted together, with a third and preferably smaller wire woven back and forth in serpentine shape between the twists of the main wires aforesaid, and thereby furnishing open spaces or loops upon first one side and then the other, consecutively, through which to drive the nails or other fastenin gs in securing said strap or band to a box, as hereinafter described.
To enable those skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe it more in detail.
In the drawings, a a represent the main wires, which are twisted together longitudinally, and b the third wire of my improved strap or band A, which wire I) is woven crosswise back and forth between the twists of the main wires, as before stated, and best shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. As the wire bsimply serves as a means of fastening for the strap or band, it may be made smaller than the two main wires which receive the tensional strain, and thus cheapen the cost of said strap to a considerable extent. The wire I) is so woven between the other wires as to form lateral loops 1) upon two opposite sides of the main wires, through which to pass the nails 0 or other fastenings employed in securing the strap around a box, B, as shown in Fig. 3. Said weaving operation may be performed by means of a suitable machine provided for the purpose, whereby the hWlSbS in the main wires may be made and the wire b woven back and forth, as above described, by a continuous and automatic operation. In thus forming the strap the wires a a may have one or more twists between the loops of the cross-wire b, as desired. In practice I prefer to form two twists between said points, as the loops 1) are thus brought about the right distance apart for convenience in fastening, and afirm-strong strap is thus produced.
It will be observed by Fig. 2 that the wires a a are twisted tight over and against the wire '1), where it passes through between said wires a a, as well as being closely twisted between said points hereinbefore described. Consequently but little if any stretching of the strap is admitted of when applied to use, even though the box or other merchandise package fastened by the same is submitted to very.
rough handling in transportation.
The loops 1) it will be understood are in practice made of the proper size to receive the shanks of the nails desired to be used for fast- V ening the strap in position, but not sufficiently large to allow the heads of said nails to pass through.
It is obvious from the foregoing description that my improved box-strap may be easily made, being therefore inexpensive. It possesses the advantages of strength and durability, while at the same time being flexible, may be easily bent around the box, and fastened in a convenient and expeditious manner,
I am aware it is not new to make box-straps of wire, and therefore do not claim the same, broadly, but limit my invention to the strap made in accordance with the foregoing specification.
Having described my said box-strap, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. Awire band for strapping boxes and similar merchandise packages, comprising, in combination, two main wires twisted together and having another and preferably a smaller wire woven back and forth in serpentine shape between the twists of saidmain wires, said third wire passing through the twisted strand thus main wires, said third wire passing throughthe twisted strand thus made from first one side and then the other at short intervals along its length, to form fastening-loops upon two opposite sides thereof, the strap "or band being secured in position by means ofnails or other suitable fastenings passed through said side loops, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
