Abstract
Abstract A handtool for tightening a shackle upon an article or articles as, for example, the neck of a bag, for closing the latter, includes means for cutting off an excess end portion of a tightened shackle. The novelty resides in providing the tool with knife-spacing means causing the shackle to be so cut as to leave a tab of predetermined size remaining on the end of the tightened shackle, and also in the inclusion in the tool of means for deforming and/or embossing said tab; the latter means including actuating parts serving also in the tightening of the shackle upon an article or articles.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
In a shackle-tightening tool having a manually actuated mechanism for tightening a shackle upon a bag neck or the like; the improvement comprising a die assembly carried upon and as a part of said tool, said assembly comprising a pair of relatively movable die members, and motion-transmitting means, operatively coacting with said mechanism and with said pair of die members to relatively move the latter from open relationship to closed relationship; said mechanism including a shackle-pulling element and said motion-transmitting means comprising an integral, laterally extending arm of said pulling element, in engagement with a movable one of said die members to cause said one die member to move with said pulling element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
106 words
A handtool comprising a housing, a shackle-tightening, pulling element carried by said housing for back-and-forth endwise movement, and being provided with shackle-gripping means for gripping a shackle during shackle-tightening movement of said pulling element; a die assembly carried by said housing and comprising two dies movable toward each other for engaging therebetween a portion of a shackle for embossing said portion; an operating lever pivoted to said housing; and motion-transmitting means coacting with said lever, at an intermediate portion thereof, and with both said pulling element and said die assembly to impart shackle-pulling movement to said pulling element and closing, relative movement to said two dies.
Claim 4
