FURNITU RE-Cl-'AM P.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 706,705, dated August 12, 1902. Application filed October 7,1901. Serial No. 77,876. (No modell) To all whom t may concern:`
Be it known that I, WILLIAM L. TUELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Albany, in the county of Floyd and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Furniture-Clamps; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the s'ame.
The invention relates to furniture-clamps, and more particularly to clamps for connecting removably together two parts of a piece of furniture-such,for instance, as a wardrobewhereby the parts may be quickly separated for transportation or storage in a compact and convenient form.
The object of the invention is to provide a clamp of this character which shall be simple of construction,durable in use, comparatively inexpensive of production, efcient inaction, and by means of which the parts with which it is used may be easily and quickly connect' ed or disconnected.
Vith this and other objects inview the invention consists of certainnovel-features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended clai p y In the accompanyingdrawings, Figure l is a side elevation of a piece of furniture, shown in the present instance as an upper portion of a Wardrobe, illustrating the application of the invention; and Fig. 2 is an enlarged view in perspective of the clamp removed.
Referring to the drawings, 1 and 2 denote two parts of a piece of furniture which it is desired to secure together in a removable manner, whereby the parts may be separated at will for the purpose of transportation, storage, or otherwise.
3 denotesone plate of the clamp and 4 the other. plate of the clamp. The plate 3 is secured to one part of the piece of furniture by screws or other fastening means and has hooks or eyes 5, in whichis journaled the horizontal portion 6 of a bail 7, the lower ends of which are projected inwardly to form cranks 8. The plate it is fastened to the other part of the piece of furniture by screws or like fastening means and is provided with ears 9, in
which is pivoted the inwardly-projecting ends 110 of a bail or handle 11, the side pieces of which are provided with eyes 12, preferably by twisting the material, as shown.
The operation of the device is as follows: Assuming that it be desired to securely connect two parts of a piece of furniture together, the horizontal portion 6 of the bail 7 is engaged with the hooks or eyes 5 of the plate 3, which is secured to one part of the piece of furniture, and by pressing downwardly upon the handlel 1l the two parts of the piece of furniture will be securely clamped together, the side pieces of the bail 7 and handle Il being alined and being at a dead-center, the parts will be held in clamped position until the handle Il is swung outwardly and upwardly. It will thus be seen that I provide a simple, durable, and comparatively inexpensive clamp which may be easily and quickly operated eitherv in clamping the parts of a piece of furniture together or in unclamping them. After the parts have been unclamped and it is desired to separate the two parts of 'the furniture which have been clamped together the arm 7 maybe spread apart so as to disengage `its cranks 8'from the eyes 12 of the bail ll, thus permitting of the separa tion of the parts. Another way of disconnecting the two parts of the fastener is to compress the side pieces of the loopll inwardly, which will withdraw their eyes 12 from engagement with the cranks 'Saforesaid From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, and advantages of my invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.
Various changes in the form, proportion, 'and details of construction may be made within the scope of the invention Without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.
Having thus described myinvention, what I claim, and desire to secureA by Letters Patent, is*
The combinationwith two pieces of furniture, of a clamp`consisting of two plates, one secured to one piece of furniture and theother secured to the other piece of furniture, one
of said plates being provided with integral IOO hooks or eyes, and the other plate with integral perforated ears proj eotin g at right angles from the plate, a bail pivoted in the hooks or eyes and consisting of a horizontal portion 6, a vertical portion 7, and the inwardly-projecting crank-arms 8, and a second bail oonsisting of a horizontal portion ll having in wardly-projeoting ends formed with eyes l2 into which the crank-arms 8 project and terto minatin g at their upper ends in inwardly-projecting studs which are pvoted in the perforated ears, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WILLIAM L. TUELL.
