BUNDLE-CARRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 672,857, dated April 23,1901. 7 Application filed September '11, 1899. Serial No. 730,149. (No model.) I

To all whom, it nuty concern: 7 v

' Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. MOORE, of Medford, in the State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and usefulImprove-' bundle-carriers, the object of the invention being to so contruct the device that it shall be cheap to manufacture, which shall be strong and durable, and which shall be effectual in all respects in the performance of its functions.

With this object in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, as hereinafter set forth,and pointed out in the claim. 1 r

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view illustrating an embodiment of myinvention. Fig. 2 isa sectional view. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 illustrate details.

A represents a handle, made, preferably, of comparatively soft Wood and provided at its ends with arms B B, of wire, each arm being bent at its free end to form a loop 1 for the reception of the cord with which a bundle is tied.

The important feature of my invention, whereby itis made cheap to manufacture and rendered durable in construction, lies in the manner in Which I attach the arms B to the ends of the Wooden handle. Each arm B is provided at its upper end with an eye 2, and through said eye a nail 3 is passed. The nail is then driven into the end ofthe Wooden handle until the head 40f the nail engaging the eye 2 embeds'it in the wood. At the same timea short section of the arm B is also em- A bundle-carrier comprisinga handle por-' tion having flattened ends, two arms, each having a perforated enlargement at one end and a hook at the other. end, the perforated enlargements and a portion of each arm permanently and immovably embedded in the respective flattened ends of the handle portionand a fastening device passing through each enlargement and entering, the material of the handle portion, the heads of said fastening devices engaging said perforated enlargements.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

WILLIAM H. MOORE.
