Description

PATENT (DEEIGE.
HENRY C. FABER, OF UTIGA, NEW YORK. 1
|MPRovE|v|ENT`|N 'rRuNK-CATcHEs.
bfpeci'cation forming part of Letters Patent No. 139,306, dated May 27, 1873; application iiled April 19, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY C. FABER, of Utica, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Trunk-Catch, of which the following is a specification: w
Figure 1 is a front view of my improved catch. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same taken through the line x a of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an inside view of the same. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the same taken through the line y y, Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is an edge view of l the upper side of the catch.
My invention has for its object to furnish an improved catch to take the place of straps usually employed for holding the cover or lid y down to the body of the trunk to relieve the lock from having to sustain the strain. The invention consists of an improved trunk-catch formed by the combination with each other of the top plate provided with a tongue having a slot formed in it, the' bottom plate having a wide transverse slot formed in it, the hinged locking-bar, the spring, the latch and its spring, as hereinafter fully described.
A is the upper part of the catch, which is designed to be attached to the forward part of the lid or cover of the trunk in such a position that the tongue a of said part may project below the edge of said lid or cover. The
tongue a has a transverse slot formed in it to receive the lug of the hinged bar of the lower part B of said catch, and its lower end is beveled off and curved inward to enable it to enterthe notch in the upper edge of the said lower part as the lid or cover of the trunk is swung shut. The lower part or plate B has a wide transverse slot formed in it, into which is iitted a bar, C, which is hinged at one end to said part B, and is provided with a spring, D, at said hinged end to throw itopen when unfastened. -Upon the inner side of the other or free end of the hinged bar O is formed a catch-hook, c1, to enter a notch in the latch E and fasten the said bar C when closed down.
The latch is bent to pass around the lower end i of `the tongue a', and its lower end is pivoted to the plate B. The latch E is held up by a spring, F, attached to the plate B, and which presses against the lower edge of thelower part of said latch E. e is a stem which passes through a slot in the side iiange of plate B, is attached to or formed upon the upper end of the latch E, and hasV a knob or other thumb piece formed upon or attached to its Vouter end for convenience in operating the latch E to release the bar C- UPOII lthe inner side of the` 4c1 c2, the spring D, the latch E, and springuF,
substantially as herein shown and described.
y HENRYO. FABER.
