IMPROVEMENT IN HITCHING-POSTS.
I, EDWIN F. SHOENBERGER, of Germantown, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improved Hitching-Post, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to hitching-posts having internal weights, which maintain taut the hitching-strap connected to the same; and
My improvement consists of devices, described hereafter, whereby the weight may be readily raised and secured in its position when elevated.
To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construc tion and operation, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1- is a plan of the top of the post.
Figure 2, an elevation.
Figure 3 is a side view of the top of the post.
Figure 4 is a section through line A B.
Figure 5 is a section on line E F.
Figure 6 is an enlarged view of the top of the post.
Figure 7, a plan view of the slide.
Figure 8, a section on line 0 D.
Figure 9, a view ofthe slide.
-I construct my post of any suitable material and form, generally of cast-iron.
The 'part G, which stands out of the ground, is hollow; from top to bottom, as shown in fig. 4. I fi The part H, in the ground, is of the shape seen in The post G has a slot, g, running nearly from top ported. in the cross-groove h.
to bottom. At the top it is cut'at right angles, or thereabout, to form a slot or slots, h'.
Within the hollow of the post slides the threewinged block K, having a ring, K, at the top, to which the hitching-strap is tied.
A pin, m, is screwed into this block, and projects through the seat 5;.
An aperture, n, is shown in fig. 3, through which a chain or. strap, 1), may he passed and firmly fastened to the ring K.
The horse is secured in this way: Suppose the sliding block K to be at the bottom of the post, it is lifted either by the projecting pin in or the strap 1), and the hitching-strap is secured to ring K; This ring slides from top to bottom of the post, always taking up the slack of the strap or rein, thereby preventing the horse from chewing his rein or getting the bridlefast on the post.
When the horse is untied the pin m can be sup- The ring K then-1e mains at the top of the post ready-for use again.
Claim.
A post having a vertical slot, g, and lateral slot or slots 71, in combination with an internal weight or block, provided with pin, which projects into the slot in the post, for the purpose specified.
