Abstract
A V-shaped spring steel frame having depending legs coacts with a manually gripped, T-shaped pelt-drawing member that is longitudinally movable along the frame legs for forcibly stretching a fur pelt attached to the drawing member downwardly over the frame. The drawing member provides variable spacing between the frame legs, releasable locks for securing the member and the frame against relative longitudinal movement, and a sizeable flat handle to which portions of the pelt are removably secured during pelt stretching and drying.
Claims5
In a pelt stretcher having laterally spaced legs upon which a pelt is mountable with an end thereof attached to drawing means slidable along said legs to effect longitudinal pelt stretching, the improved drawing means comprising:
- a slide member disposed transversly of said legs and receiving said legs therethrough for relative longitudinal movement;
- said slide member having laterally spaced bores therethrough and said legs being insertable through said bores to preset the spacing between said legs;
- locking members for said slide member insertable into said bores into compressive engagement with said legs;
- an elongate handle member projecting outwardly from said slide member in underlying juxtaposition with said pelt end;
- and,
- pointed members cooperable with said handle member for removably attaching said pelt thereto.
