Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 4, 1913.
Application filed April 14, 1911. Serial No. 621,035.
To (ZZZ whom it may concern: I I
Be it known that I, MARTIN J. WOODWARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohanute, in the county of Neosho and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holdbacks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in vehicle attachments, and has particular reference to a. holdback.
One object of the present invention is to provide a holdback of such construction, that the same is simple and easily operated, and cheap to manufacture.
Another object is to provide a holdback which will effectively retain the ring of the holdback strap from accidental displacement.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description, but it will be understood that changes in the specific structure shown and described may be made within the scope of the claim without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of my device applied to a shaft, Fig. 2 is an end view of the same, Fig. 3 is a plan view of the ring on the holdback strap, Fig. 4: is a section on the line 4% of Fig. 3.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, 10 represents a shaft to which my holdback is secured, and 11 the holdback. The holdback comprises a horizontal base member 12, having a vertically extending flange 18 along one edge thereof. In this flange is formed a series of hooks 14, said hooks extending a distance above the said flange, to provide the slots 15. In the inner ends of these slots, which are open-ended, are formed the circular portions 16, which are of a diameter greater than the width of the slots. On the ends of the holdback straps are secured the cockeye rings 17, which may be circular, or D-shaped as shown. As clearly illustrated in Fig. 4, these rings are elongated in cross section, the smaller diobviated.
mension being slightly less than the width of the slots 15, and the greater dimension somewhat less than the diameters of the circular portions 16. By this construction, the rings 17 can only be passed along the slots 15, when said rings are disposed in a horizontal position. After entering the circular portions 16, the rings are free to turn, and in so doing present their greater dimensions to the inner ends of the slots from which they cannot then be passed.
From the foregoing it will thus be seen that with a device of the construction herein shown and described, the necessity of the use of springs, snap fasteners, or other like devices to retain the rings in engagement with the hooks of the holdback is clearly The rings, in applicants construction, have a full swinging movement in the hooks, but to disengage them therefrom, necessitates the turning of the ring completely over, before the same will pass along the slot.
What is claimed is:
As an article of manufacture, a holdback comprising an elongated plate bent at right angles along its longitudinal median line, one wing of said plate having openings for the reception of fastenings, the other wing of the plate having an open-ended longitudinally arranged slot at one end thereof, the inner end portion of the slot being circular and of a diameter slightly greater than the width of the slot, the free edge portion of the slotted wing being cut away midway of its length, the opposite end portion of the slotted wing being formed. with an open-ended slot in line with the first slot and letting into the cutaway portion, one end of the last-named slot having a circular end of a diameter slightly greater than the width of the slot.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
MARTIN J. WOODWARD.
