Abstract: 120,012. Hudson, H. June 27, 1918. Sockets and plugs for nails and the like.- Consists of horizontally wide sheet-metal sockets with flared mouths and with or without wooden cores. When a core is omitted, the sides are close enough together to hold a nail but are formed with indents to keep them apart till a nail is driven in. Wider sockets made to receive a plug subsequently have flaps turned up inside to preserve the interval. Such sockets are temporarily nailed to the concrete forms by the lips, and their inner ends may be tied up to prevent the concrete bending them when being poured. When the forms are removed they leave the nails projecting to be cut off. A cored socket may have shoulders to retain the core and the inner ends of a socket may be projections to improve its hold in the concrete. Figs. 1, 3, 5, 11 and 12 illustrate the features, the last being a transverse section. Fig. 18 shows a socket with front and side mouths, into which nails are driven to fix a door jamb 7 and the two facings 6.
