PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Wire or Cord Clip.
We HUGO HIRST Electrical Engineer, and WILLIAM EVERETT GIBSON
Commercial Clerk, both of 71 Queen Victoria Street, in the City and County of
London do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
:-
The object of our said invention is to provide for the ready adjustment of the
length of flexible wires or cords, such for instance as the flexible conductors of a
suspended electric lamp, the driving cord for steam engine indicators, and in fact
any purpose where such adjustment may be required.
Reference may be had to the appended sheet of drawings, showing said clip as
applied to a cord or wire.
The clip A is a flat piece of china, porcelain, metal, wood, or any suitable
substance, and three tapering slots c c and d are formed in it.
The straight portion of the cord or wire a a' passes through the two slots c c¹,
and a loop is drawn through the slot d opening oppositely to c c¹. The loop
aforesaid may be lengthened or shortened at will, thereby enabling the length of a a¹
to be accurately adjusted, such position being maintained so long as tension is
maintained on a a¹.
The angularity and position of said slots relatively to each other may be varied
in different cases of adaptation.
Dated this 8th day of Sentember 1894.
