  : 
  patented 
  September 
  25, 
  1883;

  or 
  coup- 
  

   ling 
  for 
  rods,

  Two 
  sections 
  of 
  tube 
  Lave 
  upon 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  each 
  a 
  screw-thread. 
  

   The 
  tube 
  section 
  is 
  fastened 
  upon 
  a 
  rod 
  joint, 
  and 
  one 
  being 
  smaller 
  

   will 
  pass 
  into 
  the 
  other, 
  the 
  screw-thread 
  upon 
  the 
  smaller 
  engaging 
  

   the 
  screw-thread 
  upon 
  the 
  larger 
  or 
  outer 
  tube. 
  The 
  screw-thread 
  

   formed 
  in 
  the 
  surface, 
  of 
  these 
  tube 
  sections 
  may 
  be 
  rolled 
  in 
  while 
  the 
  

   sections 
  are 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  rod, 
  or 
  the 
  sections 
  may 
  be 
  

   put 
  upon 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  rod 
  joints 
  and 
  the 
  screw-threads 
  rolled 
  into 
  

   their 
  surfaces, 
  thus 
  embedding 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  metal 
  into 
  the 
  wood 
  

   of 
  the 
  rod 
  and 
  holding 
  the 
  sections 
  in 
  place.

  With 
  a 
  sleeve 
  secured 
  to 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  a 
  rod-section 
  in 
  such 
  manner 
  that 
  

   it 
  projects 
  beyond 
  the 
  end 
  and 
  provided 
  with 
  an 
  annular 
  ridge 
  or 
  collar 
  

   and 
  two 
  studs 
  is 
  combined 
  another 
  sleeve 
  which 
  will 
  lit 
  closely 
  into 
  

   the 
  first, 
  provided 
  with 
  two 
  annular 
  ridges 
  and 
  secured 
  to 
  another 
  rod- 
  

   section 
  in 
  such 
  manner 
  that 
  it 
  will 
  bo 
  flush 
  with 
  the 
  end, 
  and 
  carrying 
  

   a 
  sliding 
  ring 
  provided 
  with 
  an 
  inward 
  projecting 
  flange, 
  and 
  with 
  two 
  

   L-shaped 
  slots 
  for 
  receiving 
  the 
  studs 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  sleeve. 
  To 
  unite 
  the 
  

   rod-sections 
  the 
  sleeve 
  E 
  is 
  passed 
  into 
  the 
  sleeve 
  A, 
  and 
  then 
  the 
  ring 
  

   II 
  is 
  pressed 
  down 
  on 
  the 
  ridge 
  or 
  collar 
  G 
  to 
  cause 
  the 
  studs 
  M 
  to 
  pass 
  

   into 
  the 
  longitudinal 
  parts 
  of 
  slot 
  K. 
  The 
  ring 
  II 
  is 
  then 
  turned

  of 
  

   the 
  ring 
  rests

  collar 
  G
