W D HOYT WIRE TIGHTENER.
Patented Mar. 29, 1892.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM 1). HOY'I, or RUSH CENTRE, KANSAS.-
WIRE-TIGHTEN ER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 471,551, dated March 29, 1892. Application filed December 31, 1891 Serial No. 416,649. (No model) To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM D. HOYT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rush Centre, in the county of Bush and State of Kansas, haveinvented a new and useful Wire- Tightener, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to fences, and more especially to the wire-tighteners adapted to be used in connection therewith; and the object of the same is to produce an improved tool for this purpose.
To this end the invention consists in a tool whose construction and uses are hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and as illustrated on the accompanying sheet of drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is an elevation of a slack fencewire, showing the tool about to be applied. Fig. 2 is a plan View, the tool having been applied and partially turned. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view considerably enlarged and showing the way in which the wire loop is tied. Fig.
4 is a-longitudinal section of a portion of the tool to show how thecanting of the sliding jaw engages the shank.
Referring to the said drawings, the letter W designates the fence-wire.
H is the handle of my improved tool, into one end of which is inserted and secured an L-shaped bar forming the stationary jaw J, the shank S of this bar being square. M is the movable jaw, having an enlarged head E, provided with a hole, which slides on said shank. Both these 'jaws are practically D- shaped in cross-section, as best seen in Fig. 3, their flat faces being adjacent. On a'screw or pin P, insertedin the other end of the handle, is pivoted a hook H, as shown.
The operation of this device is as follows: The tool is passed over the-slack wire, as seen in Fig. 1, with the jaws pointing down, after which the tool is moved down, so that the jaw J passes in front and the jaw M to the rearof the wire. The other end of the handle is then drawn toward the operator and passed around a half-circle, the first part of this movement I The handle is preferably of wood and the other parts of metal and all of a size to give the tool the strength required. Before tightening the wire the movable jaw M is set on the shank by hand at a distance from the stationary jaw which is about one-half of the amount it is desired to take up in the fencewire, and as soon as pressure is brought to bear on the movable jaw its head E binds on the square shank and prevents its slipping toward the movable jaw.
What is claimed as new is'- 1. The herein-described tool, the same comprising a handle, an L-shaped member in one end forming a stationary jaw, an adjustable jaw adjacent thereto, and a hook mounted pivotally on a pin in the other end of the handle, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The herein-described tool, the same comprising a handle, an L-shaped member having a square shank mounted in one end of the handle, its foot forming a stationary jaw, and a movable jaw having an enlarged head with a square hole, mounted on said shank and adapted to bind thereon when canted, the jaws being D-shaped in cross-section, as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.
In testimony that I claim the-foregoing as my own 1 have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
WILLIAM D. HOYT.
