HARNESS-BRIDLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed July 28, 1911.
Patented Sept. as, 1 arts.
Serial No. 641,089;
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, Gnonon L. Forums, a citizen of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented new and useful Improvements in l'larness-Bridles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in harness bridles having over-checks, and to the crown piece thereof, and has for its important object the provision of novel means whereby the overcheck is connected to the crown piece in a manner which will permit the over-check to be conveniently removed and replaced, or changed.
Another of the important objects of the invention is to provide a harness bridle having an ovcrcheck, of inexpensive construc tion and finished appearance, and wherein the guide passages for the overcheck are substantially within the crown piece and are of such nature as to permit the ovcrcheck to be readily detached and removed and replaced.
To the ends stated the invention consists: first, in a crown piece for a harness bridle having channels for the limbs of an overcheck and a passage between said channels adapted to permit the over-check to be inserted or drawn through the crown piece, in detaching the overcheck from and connecting the overchcck to the same second, in a crown piece for a harness bridle having a passage adapted to permit the overcheck to be inserted or drawn through the crown piece and separated channels for the limbs of the overcheclt, arranged at the ends oi said passage, together with a throat latch which is formed and arranged to hold the limbs of the overchecl: from moving acci dentally from their respective channels and into said passage.
The invention further consists in novel features in the construction and arrangement of parts and in novel combinations of elements substantially as hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the subjoincd claims.
In the accompanying drawings, I have exemplified the invention in its most dosirable -torm. Details of the illustrated embodiment are very advantageous and for this reason claims have been made expressive of the detail en'ibodimcnt; but it is to be understood that the invention is not restricted to such detail embodiment and con tains matter of broad novelty which may be embodied in forms other than the one herein particularly illustrated, without depart- 111g from the spirit oi the invention or the scope of the subjoincd claims.
In the drawings, wherein like characters of reference denote like parts in the several views: liigure 1. is a side elevation of a harness bridle which includes the present improvements. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view thereof. Fig. l is a detail perspective view of the crown piece, a part of the limbs of the overcheclt and a part of the strap which prevents said limbs from moving accidentally from the channels provided therefor, showing parts broken away to disclose other parts which otherwise would be concealed thereby. liig. 5 is a detail representation of the crown piece showing the layers thereof in approximately the relative positions they assume at the center oi. the crown piece when an overchcck is being inserted or removed.
Referring now to the illustrated embodiment oi the invention and describing the same with particularity without intending thereby to restrict the invention to the dctails thereof: it) and 11. designate the check pieces, 12 the brow band, ll-5 and 1+1: the winkers, and 1:") the winkcr brace of a barness bridle. These parts may be of the usual, or of any suitable construction. The winker brace 15 herein shown is of the style patented to me Feb. 2), 1909, Nuulber )ll,)($(' and is connected to the brow band '12 by a loop 1(3, in the manner and for the purpose disclosed and claimed in my application for U. S. patent lilcd Feb. 10, 1910, Serial No. 543,175; these parts being prolerrcd for use with but are not essential to the parts which constitute the present invention, and which will now be described.
A designates the crown piece, ll the overcheck and C the throat latch. The crown piece is formed oi an under layer 17 and an upper layer 18 with intermediate fillers 1S) and 20 at the ends thereof. The ends of the upper and under layers and the interposed tillers are suitably secured together, preferably by lines of stitches 2t and 22 extending longitudinally thereof. The con- :tronting ends of the fillers '19 and 90 are spaced apart at the longitudinal center of the crown piece, suilicicntly to provide at of the crown piece are not stitched together,
or otherwise permanently secured together at said space. This space 23 is partly occupied by a spacer 26 which is secured to one of; said layers and which lies between the limbs 2i and 25 of the overcheck. The correlation of the ends of the spacer to the adjacent ends of the fillers and to the upper and under layers of the crown piece is such that channels 2'? and 28 (see Fig. 5) are provided at the ends of and communicating with the space 23. The limbs 24: and 25 eX- tend through these channels and are held properly spread apart by said spacer 26.
A strap 29 is arranged in a suitable holding relation to the limbs 24- and 25, to prevent said limbs from movement out of their respective channels. This strap is movable to free said limbs when it is desired to remove the overcheck. It is formed as a part of the throat latch C, the latter being made of suliicient length to extend under. the throat of the animal and over the limbs 2% and 25 of the overcheck. It passes through loops 30 at the ends of the brow band The crown piece has a loop 31 through which the strap 29 also extends. This loop 31 is formed integral with the spacer 26, the lat ter being a piece of leather of suitable length and width, doubled upon itself at or about its longitudinal center and having its ends superimposed and stitched or otherwise suitably secured to each other and to the underlayer 17 of thecrown piece. The upper layer 18 is so mounted on the underlayer 17 of the crown piece as to cover a part only of the width of the latter, and the strap 29 extends along the remaining portion of the crown piece, alongside the upper layer.
In the illustrated embodiment of the invention the underlayer 17 of the crown piece is broader than the upper layer 18 to provide space on the former for the strap 29, and said upper layer and the fillers 19 and 20 are integral with each other, being formed of a strap whose ends are bent back to provide underlying portions which form said fillers. The stitches 21 and 22 do not extend to the ends of the upper layer and hence loops 32 and 88 are provided at the ends of the upper layer adapted to receive rings 3 t'and 35, or other appropriate elements by which the crown piece may be attached to the check straps 10 and 11.
It will be apparent that, when the ends of the overcheck are properly attached to the bridle bit and harness saddle, with its limbs 24 and 25 arranged in the channels 27 and 28 of the crown piece, theovercheckis free to move through the crown piece a discheck, it being only necessary in removing the evercheck to detach one end of the latter (the end attached to the harness bridle, for example) open the throat latch and raise or remove the strap 29 from engagement with the limbs 24 and 25 and then pull. the overcheck until it is disengaged from the crown piece, the space 23 being, as already stated, 7
adapted to permit the end of the overcheck to pass therethrough. The same overcheck, or another one, may with equal facility be applied, by inserting its end through the space 23 in the crown piece. noted that the particular embodiment of the invention, herein disclosed, may be ineX- pensively produced, enables the manufacturer to use smaller pieces of stock than is practicable in the construction of brid'les now on the market, presents a finished ap pearance and eliminates the necessity of using any metal parts for securing the overcheck, either upon the exterior of the crown piece or between the layers thereof, and that the operation of securing the throat latch similarly binds the ov-ercheck against the crown piece. It will be understood that while reference has herein been made tothe factthat a. space 23 is formed between the surface of the spacer 26 and the upper layer 18, said upperlayer in the normal use of the bridle may, and in fact, preferably does, rest upon the spacer, as shown in Fig. 4;, in which case its flexibility, or the flexibility of the upper layer, or of both layers, permits a relative yielding of said layers to the pressure exerted thereon by the end of the overcheck in the operation of pushing or pulling said end through the crown piece.
It will be noted that the present invention enables one to change an overcheck bridle into a side check bridle without the services of a harness maker by simply looping swivels or gag runners into the ring or D 34: and 35.
It is believed that the purposes and advantages of the invention, both in'respect of its broad features. and of the particular detail embodiment herein illustrated, will be fully comprehended. from the foregoing.
Having now described the inventionwhat I believe to be new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
