HARNESS ATTACHMENT.
. Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. t9, with?.
Application filed May 18, 1915. Serial No. 28,867.
To all itc/0m t may concern.'
Be it known that I, CURTIS JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Prescott, in thefcounty of Adams and State of lo Ya, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness Attachments, of which the following is a specitication.
My invention relates to an improvement in harness attachments, and more particularly to the layers used in connecting the breeching to the breeching-stay or hip-straps- These have hitherto been made ot leather, and one edge of this leather has been stitched by machinery to the wear leather or sate, and then the other edge required stitching by hand. Y
The purpose of my present invention is to do away with all this and produce a much cheaper, stronger, and more durable layer composed of sheet-1netal that can be made up in less time, and can be riveted to the wear leather or safe instead of being stitched thereto.
ln the accompanying drawings :--Figure l is a view showing the attachment applied to the usual. breeching; Fig. 2 is a blank from which the layer is made; Fig. 8 shows it partly cfmpleted, with the ends andspurs at the edge partly bent; and Fig. .l is section through the entire device after having been riveted to the wear leather or safe. Fig. 5 is a transverse section on an enlaii'ged scale.
The strip or blank A. is made ot sheetmetal of any length or width to suit requirements. lt is provided with a slot l at or near one end, and rivet holes 2, 2 at intervals throughout its length, and is cut at the edge to form the spurs 3, 3. The slot l is adapted to receive the tongue ot' the buckle 4, and the buckle is held in place by the end of the strip or blank A being bent around until the rivet-holes at opposite ends of the slot are in registry. The opposite end is bent around in similar fashion to embrace the ring or loop 6 attached to the breechingstrap 7. The strap loops 8, S, are bent around the edge of the metal, and are fas- Copies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the Commissioner tened by forcing the spurs 3, 3, at the edge ot' the metal layer therethrough. The spaces between these loops on the lower side of the metal layer may be i'illed with pieces Oli' leather 9, 9. The wear leather or sate l0 is of the usual form and design, and is fastened rigidly and permanently to the layer by means of rivets l1, 1l, extending through the several holes 2, 2, in the metal layer, and the holes 12, l2, in the wear leather or safe. In this way, a very simple, strong, and durable layer is formed, which will wear as long as the most durable part of the harness. Necessarily it can be made much cheaper than the present form. of layer-'which has to be stitched, and then under circumstances of unusual difficulty, and when japanned and finished, it does not look ditl'lerent from the present leather layer, and a casual observer would scarcely detect the difference.
I claim:
A sheet metal layer for harness having rivet holes located at predetermined distances apart along its longitudinal center, provided with an elongated slot between two of the rivet holes and constructed with spurs at the edges at points between the rivet holes, in connec tion with a buckle the tongue of which extends through the slot, the slotted end of the layer inclosing the pintle ot' the buckle aud with the rivet holes at the opposite ends of the slot in registry, the opposite end ot said layer inclosing a loop bar, the two rivet holes nearest that end being in registry, strap loops embracing the edges oit the layer and fastened thereto by the said spurs, and a. wear leather or sate secured to the layer by means of rivets extending through and upset in the several rivet holes hereinbet'ore specitied.
In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature, in the presence ot' two witnesses.
CURTIS JOHNSON.
