combine "barbs" with the binding member
the ends will be longer and pointed.
The free ends of the offsets 23 24 will be
provided with small transverse depressions
5 29 30, adapted to be placed upon opposite
sides of the staples by which wire fences are
secured to the posts for drawing the same,
the implement being thus a very efficient
staple-puller. Inclined recesses 31 32 are
io formed transversely in the outer faces of the
head portions to receive wires when they are
to be clipped or sheared, which may readily
be done when the neck portions 34 and 33,
respectively, are passed over the recesses, as
15 will be obvious. Thus the implement be-
comes also a very efficient wire-cutter.
The implement will preferably be con-
structed of hardened steel and may be manu-
factured at small expense and will be very
20 efficient and useful for the purposes described.
The side faces of the implement being pre-
cisely alike, it is a matter of no significance
which is first presented to the work by the
operator or in what position he applies it, so
25 that the central transverse recess be placed
over the body to be bound.
Having thus described the invention, what
is claimed is-
1. In an implement of the class described,
30 a central relatively stationary member pro-
vided with a supporting-handle and having a
transverse cavity formed therein for support-
ing a binding member, and coiling members
swinging from said central member at oppo-
35 site sides of said cavity and having means for
engaging the free ends of said binding mem-
ber and reversely coiling the same around
a body supported therein and within said
cavity.
40 2. In an implement of the class described,
a central relatively stationary member pro-
vided with a supporting-handle and having a
transverse cavity provided with channels in
its adjacent faces for holding a substantially
45 U-shaped binding member, and coiling mem-
bers swinging from said central member at
opposite sides of said cavity and provided
with channels for engaging the free ends of
said binding member and reversely coiling
50 them around a body held therein and within
said cavity.
3. In an implement of the class described,
a central relatively stationary member pro-
vided with a terminal handle and having a
55 transverse cavity provided with channels in
its adjacent faces disposed at an incline to
the transverse plane of the central member
for holding a substantially U-shaped binding
member, and coiling members swinging from
6c said central member at opposite sides of said
cavity and provided with channels for engag-
ing the free ends of said binding member and
reversely coiling them around a body held
therein and within said cavity.4. In an implement of th6 class described, 65
a central member having a transverse cavity
provided with channels in its adjacent faces
disposed at an incline to the transverse plane
of the central member for holding a U-shaped
binding member, and coiling members 70
swino-ing from opposite sides of said central
memer and from opposite sides of the cavity
therein and provided with holding-channels
operating in alinement with the channels in
said cavity. 75
5. In an implement of the class described,
a central member having a transverse cavity
with the portions of the central member dis-
posed at opposite sides of the center trans-
versely of the same and having means for 8o
supporting a U - shaped binding member
within said cavity, and coiling members
swinging from opposite sides of said central
member and at opposite sides of said cavity
and having means for engaging the free ends 85
of said binding member from opposite sides
and reversely coiling them around a body
held therein and within said cavity.
6. In an implement of the class described,
a central member having a transverse cavity 90
with the portions of the central member dis-
posed at opposite sides of the center trans-
versely of the same and having channels dis-
posed in the adjacent faces of said cavity
whereby means are provided for supporting 95
a U-shaped binding member inclined to the
transverse plane of the central member, and
coiling members swinging upon said central
member from opposite sides and at opposite
sides of said cavity and with channels operat- 1oo
ing in alinement with the holding-channels in
said cavity.
7. In an implement of the class described,
a central member having a transverse cavity
with the portions of the central member dis- 105
posed at opposite sides of the center trans-
versely of the same and having channels dis-
posed in the adjacent faces of said cavity
whereby means are provided for supporting a
U-shaped binding member inclined to the 1o
transverse plane of the central member, said
central member having shoulders reversely
inclined and in alinement respectively with
the channels in said cavity, and coiling mem-
bers swinging from opposite sides of said cen- 115
tral member and at opposite sides of said cav-
ity and having means for engaging the free
ends of said binding member from opposite
sides and reversely coiling them around a
body held therein and within said cavity andl 120
binding thereon by compression against said
shoulders.
8. In an implement of the class described,
a central relatively stationary member pro-
vided with a supporting-handle and having a 125
cavity formed therein for supporting a bind-
ing member, and coiling members swinging
from said central member at opposite sides of
