page_text: LETTERS PATENT to William Henry Chase, of 199, Upper Thames Street, City
of London, Manufacturer, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MEANS
OF ATTACHING HOSE TO PIPES, UNIONS, OR NOZZLES, AND IN THE TOOLS FOR
THAT PURPOSE." A communication from abroad by John Ashton Green, of
New York, United States of America.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Henry Chase at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 5th April 1880.
WILLIAM HENRY CHASE, of 199, Upper Thames Street, City of London,
Manufacturer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MEANS OF ATTACHING HOSE TO PIPES,
UNIONS, OR NOZZLES, AND IN THE TOOLS FOR TILAT PURPOSE." [A communication
from abroad by John Ashton Green, of New York, United States of America.]
This Invention of improvements in the manner of attaching hose to pipes,
unions, or nozzles, and in the tools for that purpose, relates to the method of
attaching india rubber or other hose to the pipes, unions, or nozzle by a wire loop,
and in the expanding lever pincers for facilitating the fixing of such loop.
I make an oblong loop of brass wire, one end a little wider than the other, and of
sufficient length to pass round the india rubber hose or pipe after the union or pipe
to be attached has been inserted; the length of the loop is about half an inch
longer than the circumference of the india rubber hose, and the narrow end of the
loop is inserted through the wide end after encircling the hose; a pair of lever
pincors, the noses of which expand by pressure on the handle, are now inserted in
the loop, and the pressure of the hand being applied, the narrow end of the loop is
drawn tightly through the broad end, and when sufficiently tight the narrow end
is bent sharply over and the attachment made secure.
The lever pincers are made slightly narrower than the loop, and are inserted
when the noses are together. The pressure of the handle forcing the noses apart
draws the loop tight, the lever pincers being a double lever of the first order.
The oblong loops are made by bending them to the form and soldering the two
ends together.

by the said William Henry Chase in the Great Seal Patent Office on the
1st October 1880.
WILLIAM HENRY CHASE, of 199, Upper Thames Street, City of London,
Manufacturer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MEANS OF ATTACHING HOSE TO PIPES,
UNIONS, OR NOZZLES, AND IN THE TOOLS FOR THAT PURPOSE." A communication
from abroad by John Ashton Green, of New York, United States of America.
--This. Invention of improvements in the manner of attaching hose to pipes,
unions, or nozzles, and in the tools for that purpose, relates to the method of
attaching india rubber or other hose to the pipes, unions, or nozzles by a wire
loop, and in the expanding lever pincers or pliers for facilitating the fixing of
such loop.
I make an oblong loop of brass wire, one end a little wider than the other,
and of sufficient length to pass round the india rubber hose or pipe after the
union or pipe to be attached has been inserted; the length of the loop is about
lialf an inch longer than the circumference of the india rubber hose, and the
narrow end of the loop is inserted through the wide end after encircling the hose;
a pair of lever pliers, the noses of which expand by pressure on the handles, are
now inserted in the loop, and a pressure of the hand being applied, the narrow
end of the loop is drawn tightly through the broad end, and when sufficiently
tight the narrow end is bent sharply over and the attachment made secure.
The lever pliers are made slightly narrower than the loop, and are inserted
when the noses are together. The pressure of the handle forcing the noses apart
draws the loop tight, the lever pliers being a double lever of the first order.
The oblong loops are made by bending them to the form and soldering the two
ends together, or they may be made by twisting the ends together and dipping
them in solder.
Figure 1 is a view of the loop; Figure 2, view of the loop ready for the pincers
or pliers, and encircling a piece of pipe and nozzle projections; Figure 3, the loop
turned over encircling the hose and finished, and Figure +, view of the pliers.
Having now described and particularly set forth the nature of the said Invention
and the manner of carrying the same into effect, I would have it understood that
what I claim is,-
First. The means of attaching bose to pipes, unions, or nozzles by the wire loop,
substantially as described.
Second. The pair of pliers as described, for the purpose set forth.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Henry Chase, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty fifth day of September, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and eighty.
