Description

W. F. CONNOLLY ET AL JAR LIFTER Filed June 18, 1954 Patented Feb. 4, 1936 PATENT OFFICE JAR LIFTER William F. Connolly,
Farley, and William F.
Yeoman, Monticello, Iowa Application June 18,
1 Claim.
The object of this invention is to provide a very simple, inexpensive, durable, and easily manipulated tool whereby hot jars may be readily lifted and carried either in upright position or in horizontal position. The stated object of the invention and other objects, which will appear incidentally in the course oi the following description, are attained in such a device as is illustrated in the accompanying drawing and which will be hereinafter fully described.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a. perspective view of our improved tool showing the same arranged tolift a jar by the neck of the same.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the tool.
Figure 3 is a front elevation, partly in section.
Figure 4 is a detail section on the line 44 of Figure 2.
The jar lifter, constructed in accordance with our invention, embodies two members which are interlocked so as to cross and have relative pivotal movement. These members are each constructed of a single strand of stout wire or light rod and each comprises a medial bowed portion I which forms one end of the member and is adapted to fit against the neck of a jar or battle, as shown in Figure 1. At each end of this bowed portion I there is a short straight section 2 which, when the tool is in use, projects laterally beyond the neck of the article and merges into a side member 3 which is bowed outwardly, as clearly shown, and thereby adapted to fit around the body of a jar or bottle when the device is disposed horizontally for use. The two side members are carried upwardly on converging lines so that they will cross each other, as shown at 4, and above the point of intersection they are extended a suitable distance and have their terminals engaged in the ends of wooden spools or handle members 5. One of the jaws or members of the tool has its side portions inset above the bowed portion 3, as shown at 6, so that it will project inwardly with respect to the co-acting member and it is then bent outwardly, as shown at 1, to pass around the outer side of a cooperating inset 8 formed in the other member of the tool. The tool member having the bend 'l is carried inwardly above said bends, as shown at 9, and these two inset portions 9 are connected by a metallic strap In which forms a brace to prevent spreading of the sides of the member and also to retain said bends at the inner sides of the plane 1934, Serial No. 731,180
of the cooperating member or jaw of the tool and thereby retain the two jaws or working members of the tool in interlocking rocking engagement through the kinks or bends I and 8 without the use of any nails, screws or similar fastenings. The member having the outturned bends I is prevented from spreading by the metallic strap and said member in turn prevents spreading of the other member so that accidental separation of the members will be avoided.
It will be readily noted that the parts can be very easily and quickly bent into the desired form and readily assembled and after being assembled will be maintained in operative relation. Most generally the tool will be operated, as shown in Figure 1, by engaging the bowed end portions l around the neck of a jar or bottle or other device which is to be lifted, but it frequently is more convenient and more eflioient to hold the article by its sides and for this purpose the bowed side portions 3 of the tool may be engaged around the body of the article. In either position of the tool, when the handle members 5 are pressed together, the article will be very firmly grasped and may be lifted from a vessel containing hot water and carried to any desired place of deposit. The tool is very simple and may be produced at a very low cost and is highly efficient for the purposes for which it is designed.
Having thus described the invention, we claim:
An implement of the character described comprising companion members each formed from a strand bent intermediate its length to form a bridge having arms extending from its ends, the arms being bent intermediate their ends to form jaws having shanks extending diagonally therefrom, a handle extending between and carried by each pair of shanks, said members being disposed in crossed relation to each other with one member extending between the arms of the other member, the arms of the inner member being each crimped inwardly to form a U-shaped portion at the junction of its jaw and shank forming portions and the arms of the outer member having their intermediate portions offset inwardly and at the junction of their jaw and shank forming portions being crimped outwardly to form U- shaped portions engaged through the U-shaped portions of the arms of the inner member to pivotally connect said members.
