STRAP-FASTENING- FOR BOXES OR OTHER ARTICLES.
iaaacaa Application filed November 11, 1915.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES H. ZnLNIcxEn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Mobile, in the county of Mobile and State of Alabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Strap- Fastenings for Boxes or other Articles, of which the following is a specification.
The principal object of my invention is to provide a strap for use in securing shipping boxes and other receptacles, in which the fastenings proper form a part of the strap, thus avoiding the inconvenience and expense of using separate or independent fastening devices such as nails or staples.
A further object of my invention is to provide a box strap of light, yet strong and durable construction, but capable of economical manufacture and use.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like reference characters indicate like parts, I have illustrated the preferred embodiment of my invention.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my strap applied to a shipping box. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a box strap embodying my invention.
My strap is composed of two wires A and B, of suitable thickness, which are tightly twisted together at intervals as shown at 1, the portions intervening the twists being straight and parallel. In order to hold the wires together more securely, the direction of the twists is alternately reversed, as clearly illustrated in the drawings.
Adjacent to a twist one of the wires is cut diagonally as shown at 2 and the severed portion is bent at right angles, to form a nail C. By cutting the wire diagonally a point is formed, which may be further sharpened if desired. The nail may be barbed as shown at 3 if desired. One of the parallel strands of wire is thus cut to form a nail as often as desired.
The strap is fastened in place by first driving one of its nail points into the box or other article, after which the strap is pulled tight. Each nail is driven in turn,
Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 60,901.
and as each nail after the first one is naturally inclined, or at an angle before being driven, it will when driven, pull the strap tighter, thus forming a self tightening strap. If it is desired to use an extra nail occasionally for additional protection, as in rounding a corner of the box, it may be driven between the parallel. strands, as shown in Fig. 1 preferably close to one of the twists.
It will thus be seen that I have formed a strap of inexpensive but substantial construction, in which the fastenings form a portion of the strap, and which also permits the use of extra, independent nails when desired.
The manner of twisting the wires as above described shows one embodiment of my invention but the wires may be twisted in any manner so as to leave between the twists a portion of wire to be cut and bent to form a nail or driving point.
I claim 1. A box strap or other fastening device formed of a plurality of wires which are twisted together reversely at intervals in their length, the strands between the twists being parallel, one of the said wires severed diagonally adjacent alternate twists, the said severed wire bent substantially at right angles to the strap, a driving point upon the outer end of the said bent portion, and barbs upon the said bent portion.
2. A box strap or other fastening device formed of wires twisted together at intervals in their length, the twists being alternately reversed and one of the wires between the twists being severed and bent to form a fastening, as described.
3. A box strap or other fastening device formed of a plurality of wires which are twisted together at intervals in their length, the strands between the twists being parallel, one of the said wires severed between the twists and bent to form a nail like fastening.
