PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bale Ties.
I, ERNEST AUGUST GEORGE SCHUTT, a citizen of the United States, residing
at 277 Flatbush Avenue, of Brooklyn, in the County of Kings, and State of New
York, Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to bale ties, and the object thereof, is to, provide an
improved fastening device or devices, for the ends of ties, by means of which said
ends are connected, while the bale is in the press; a further object being to
provide a simple and effective device of this class, and one which is comparatively
inexpensive.
In the practice of my invention I provide the separate ends of a tie, and for the
purpose of my invention, I provide fastening devices which consists of two separate
yoke shaped loops and which are composed of strong heavy steel wire, or similar
material, and each of which is provided with a head through which the ends of the
tie are passed said ends being bent backwardly aud secured in position in any
desired manner.
The sides of the loops or yokes are then preferably bent inwardly and the ends
of the separate sides of each loop or yoke are provided with hooks or loops which
are adapted to be inter-locked or connected and when thus connected the ends of
the tie will be securely held in position, and the dis-connection thereof, cannot
be accomplished without bending back the ends or straightening out the loops or
hooks L.
This device is simple in construction and operation and perfectly adapted to
accomplish the result for which it is intended while being also comparatively
inexpensive.
The wire from which the yokes or loops are forced may be made of any desired
strength, and stiffness.

Improvements in Bale Ties.
I, ERNEST AUGUST GEORGE SCHUTT, a citizen of the United States, residing
at 277 Flatbush Avenue, of Brooklyn, in the County of Kings, and State of
New York, Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to bale ties, and the object thereof, is to provide an
improved fastening device or devices, for the ends of ties, by means of which said
ends are connected, while the bale is in the press; a further object being to
provide a simple and effective device of this class, and one which is comparatively
inexpensive

page_text: The invention is fully disclosed in the following Specification, of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, in which :-
Fig. 1, is a plan view of the separate ends of a tie, and also of my improved
fastening device or devices; and,
Fig. 2, a side view thereof.
In the drawing forming part of this Specification, A, and B, represent separate
ends of a tie, and in the practice of my invention, I provide fastening devices,
which consist of two separate yoke shaped loops D, and G, which are composed of
strong heavy steel wire, or similar material, and each of which is provided with a
head H, through which the ends of the tie are passed, as shown at, a, and b, said
ends being bent backwardly and secured in position in any desired manner.
The sides of the loops or yokes D, and G, are then preferably bent inwardly as
shown at K, and the ends of the separate sides of each loop or yoke are provided
with hooks or loops L, which are adapted to be inter-locked or connected as shown
in Figs. 1 and 2, and when thus connected the ends of the tie will be securely held
in position, and the dis-connection thereof, cannot be accomplished without bending
back the ends a, or straightening out the loops or hooks L.
This device is simple in construction and operation, and perfectly adapted to
accomplish the result for which it is intended, while being also comparatively
inexpensive.
The wire from which the yokes or loops D, and G, are formed, may be made of
any desired strength, and stiffness, and my invention is not limited to the exact
form, of said loops or yokes, and I reserve the right to make all such changes
therein, and modifications thereof, as fairly come within the scope of the
invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. The herein described bale tie, which consists of two separate yokes or loops
which are adapted to be connected with the ends of the tie, each of said yokes or
loops being provided with a head through which the ends of the tie are passed and
the ends of the sides of each yoke or loop being also provided with hooks
or loops which are adapted to be inter-locked, substantially as shown and
described.
2. The herein described bale tie which consists of two separate yokes or loops
as D, and G, said loops or yokes beiug composed of strong steel or other wire, and
each being provided with a head or end loop through which one end of the tie is
adapted to be passed, and the ends of the sides of each yoke or loop being provided
with inter-locking hooks or loops, substantially as shown and described.
