PATENT.' OFFICE.
CAR-SEAL.
SPECIFICATION forming'part of Letters Patent No. 742,085, dated October 20, 1903.
Application iiled Tune 27, 1902. Serial No. 113,488. l(No model.)
To all whom/ it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY THOMPSON, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Toronto, in the county ofV York, Province of Ontario,0anada,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metal Seals, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in car-seals; and the object of the invention is to devise a car-seal somewhat similar to those now in use and, yet differing materially in that the insertion of a Wire in the seal will be rendered simpler and the securing of the same in its place more effective; and it consists, essentially, of a disk or liat. piece of lead having a circular orice in the center thereof, a length of Wire permanently secured in the Alead at one end, and an eyelet designed to be fastened through the orifice in the lead to hold the loose end of the wire after being inserted therethrough, the various parts being constructed in detail as hereinafter more particularly described.
Figure l is a perspective View of my carseal attached to the staple of a car-latch. Fig.. 2 is a perspective View of the lead seal as it appears before use. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the eyelet. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the seal with an eyelet clamped over the Wire.
Like letters of reference. indicate corresponding parts in each ligure.
a is the leadseal, and b the orifice Vin the center thereof.
c is a length of wire inserted through the lead seal at d and firmly held therein in the usual manner as is novir customary in such seals. y
e is an eyelet designed to be made of suitable size to lit into the oriice b, so that the turned-over endl may spread and sink into the lead surrounding the'orifice.
In the operation of this device the seal is used in very much the same Way as the ordinary lead seal now commonly used on railwaycars; but 'the material difference in this device is that instead of inserting the loose or free end of the Wire vc through a hole substantially the same as orifice cl the said loose end is merely insertedA through the orifice b in the center of the seal and preferably carried around through the hole and the outer periphery of the seal, as indicated. This is of course done after the Wire has been placed in the staple or latch f. Subsequent to inserting the Wire through the orifice b and twisting it around, as described and shown, the eyelet e is inserted through the orifice, and by means of a punch or c lamper oommonly used in fastening eyelets the straight end of the eyelet e is turned over and spread on and into the lead surrounding the orifice b, and consequently over the Wire c. The Wire c is thus pressed into the lead .to a moderate extent, but quite sufcientto render it an impossibility to do anything whatever t0- ward-removing it. f
The eyelet e is designed to be of a metal stiff enough to prevent tampering, such' as aluminium or brass; but it willbe understood that many otheiI metals may be used.
What I claim as my invention is- A metal seal comprising a circular disk of metal having a circular opening therethrough, an orifice through the outer periphery in the direction of theaforesaidopening, and a pliable Wire designed to extend inwardly in said orifice and be fastened, and at its other end designed to be inserted directly into said opening, and a metal eyelet designed to clench the ends of the Wire, as and for the purpose specified.
Signed at Montreal, in the district of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, Canada, this 31st day of May, 1902.
HENRY THOMPSON.
