REIN-GUARD.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 27, 1915.
Application filed December 18, 1913. Serial N 0. 807,548.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DAVID ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Christine, in the county of Richland and State of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rein-Guards, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in rein guards and its object is to produce a simple and efficient adjustable device of this class than can be attached to any type of horse-drawn vehicle; means for locking the adjustable parts in adjusted position are also provided.
With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described in the following specification, pointed out in the claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of said specification and in which Figure 1 is a plan of my improved rein guard secured to the doubletree of a vehicle. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail of the lock employed on the adjustable sections of the device. Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.
Like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
1 is the doubletree to which the singletrees 2, 2 are secured in the usual manner. To one end of the doubletree an adjustable retaining block is secured which comprises the transverse underplate 3 provided near one end with an elongated slot in which the bolt 4 works which bolt also passes through the slotted portion 5 of the top plate or bracket 6 disposed upon the side of the doubletree, opposite to the plate 3. The plates 3 and 6 extend transversely across and beyond the doubletree and are further bolted together as at 7.
The lateral edges of the top plate 6 are upturned forming sides 8 and 9, the former being of less depth than the latter and both sides being apertured in alinement with each other to permit passage of the bolt 10 about which the spring 11 is coiled. Upon the upper edge of the side 9 of the top plate a lip 12 is formed which is projected toward the side 8 and which is niched as at 13.
My rein guard proper comprises two sections 14 and 15 connected by a tubular member 14 provided with a set screw 14 adapted to engage rod 14. The rod 14 is terminally secured to the bolt 10 and pressed against the side 9 of the top plate by the spring 11; the rod 15 is terminally secured to a staple 16 which is carried by the doubletree. Upon the tubular member 14 of the rein guard, which is apertured as at 17, lateral cars 18 are formed between which a cam lock 19 is pivoted that in operative position frictionally locks the rod section 15 in an adjusted position within the tube.
In Fig. 1 my rein guard is shown in operative position; to move the same to inoperative position it is manually moved into a vertical position when the rod 14 will en gage the notched portion of the lip 12 which will retain it in this position out of the way. The plates are slotted to permit their application to doubletrees of various sizes.
While one particular embodiment of my invention has been particularly illustrated and described, there are possible changes and modifications in the construction thereof that will occur to those skilled in the art, wherefore the right is reserved to all such changes and modifications as do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
What is claimed is 1. In a rein guard the combination with a doubletree; of guard sections, a tubular member adjustably connecting said sections and a lock for said sections when in inoperative position.
2. In a rein guard the combination with a doubletree, of an adjustable retaining block, a notched lip carried by said retaining block, a spring-pressed guard section pivotally carried' by said retaining block capable of releasable locking engagement with the notched portion of said lip and another guard section pivotally secured to said doubletree operatively associated with said first named guard section.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
DAVID ANDERSON.
