UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HENRY IE. COREY, OF MARINE, IOWA.
GUARD FOR SWINGLETREES.
Application filed February 21, 1911.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 9,1912.
Serial No. 610,090.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY F. Corinna citizen of the United States, residing at Marne, in the county of Cass and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Guards for Swingletrees; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.
This invention relates to guards for preventing the reins from catching between the swingletrees and the doubletree of a pair horse vehicle; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of the doubletree and swingletrees provided with a guard according to this invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view on the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-section taken on the line 00-50 in Fig. 2.
A is a portion of a vehicle pole of any approved construction.
B is a doubletree which is pivoted to the pole by a pin or bolt 1).
C is a strap which is secured to the upper side of the pole, and which engages with the bolt 7) close under its head.
D D are two swingletrees having their middle portions pivoted to the end portions of the doubletree by pins or bolts (2 d.
In order to prevent the reins from catching under the adjacent end portions of the swingletrees, a guard F is provided. This guard is formed of a single thin rod or stout metallic wire. The middle portion of the rod has an eye f which engages with the pin 5 between the doubletree and the strap 0. The portions of the rod adjacent to the eye are bent double and are twisted together to form a short shank g which is inclined upwardly and rearwardly above the pin 6. The shank g overlaps the eye f and the strap G, and is arranged at an acute angle to the eye f. The rod has straight portions which extend horizontally in opposite directions from the top of the shank, and these straight portions have arms or cranks h at their ends which project downwardly and terminate with eyes 2' which engage with the pins d.
The eyes on the guard do not interfere with the pivotal movement of the swingletrees and the doubletree.
What I claim is:
The combination, with a vehicle pole, a doubletree pivoted thereto, and two swingletrees pivoted to the doubletree; of a guard formed wholly of a single piece of stout wire having an eye at its middle portion which engages with the pivot of the doubletree, the portions of the wire adj acent to the said eye being twisted together to form a shank which is arranged at an acute angle to the said eye and which projects above it, said wire having horizontal portions which extend in opposite directions from the top of the said shank and which terminate in cranked arms having eyes which engage with the pivots of the swingletrees.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
HENRY F. COREY.

HUGO A. OARBUHN, HENRY C. KOEHRSEN.
