SADDLE RING.
Application filed May is, 1925. Serial No. 31,332.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN HnLM, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Meade, in the county of Meade and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Saddle Ring, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved saddle ring which has been designed to take the place of a three-quarter ring now com monly used upon marketed horse saddles.
More precisely, the invention has reference to an improved ring which is to be used in connection with saddle rigging, one feature of the ring being the strength that it embodies to withstand strenuous pulls, and stresses exerted thereon when in position on the animal.
Another feature is the ornamental configuration brought about by an arrangement of parts also serving torender the ring extremely sturdy, and such as to be used successfully with well dressed saddle trees, the same preventing bulging of straps and misplacement of the same.
Other features and advantages of the improved ring will be made apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure l is a side elevation of a horse saddle tree and rigging thereon, showing straps of the rigging connected with the improved ring.
Figure 2 is an enlarged faced view of the improved ring.
Figure 3 is a central vertical section taken approximately upon the plane of the line 8-3 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawings, and confining attention more particularly to Figure 1 it will be observed that the reference character 1 designates a conventional type of saddle tree including the usual cantle 2, and porn mel 3. The reference character 4 designates a rear rigging strap adapted to be fastened at its forward end to the improved ring. I also show a common tie strap 5 adapted to be associated with the ring, a girth 6 to which the tie strap is connected, and the custernary additional fore strap 7 employed in association with the pommel or horn 3. So far as I am aware, the ordinary ring employed in place of the one shown in Figure 1 is of a substantial three-quarter type, and
from experience it has been observed that owing to the peculiar arrangement of the various straps, the strains and stresses are unevenly distributed, resulting in distortion of the saddle tree covering, rigging straps, etc. I therefore propose a novel ring which is such as to accommodate the various straps shown and will operate to advantage in distributing strains in a uniform and practical manner. The ring may be designated generally by the reference character 8 and by directing attention more particularly to Figure 2 it will be seen that the improved ring comprises an annulus 9 provided with a central cross plate 10. At the bottom is an arcuate and relatively small slot 11 and on the left hand sideis a segmental member 12 defining a relatively large segmental opening 13. From Figure 3 it will be observed that the cross plate 10 is fiat on its inner face while the outer face has its marginal edges beveled as at 1 to, render it ornate. It will also be noted that the plate is comparatively wide and that it is joined with the annulus 9 in a manner to decidedly reinforce the latter. Thus, the improved ring is made very sturdy. Owing to the configuration of the reinforcing plate, rings must be made both left and right, thus allowing the flat sides of the plate to bear against the body of the animal, and to prevent ring sores from forming.
As shown in Figure 1, when the ring is in place upon the rigging, the pommel strap 7 is passed through the upper portion, and the rigging strap 4 is attached to the segmental member 12 through the opening 13. The small slot 11 serves to accommodate the tie strap 5, the same being stitched in place as of the ring should not be cylindrical in cross section, but should be beveled or of the cross section plainly shown in Figure 3. With this configuration, ring sores will be overcome and bulging out of the skirt and other covering for the saddle .will be prevented. Further, holes will not be rubbed through the skirt leather with a ring of this type. These and other advantages and features of the improved ring have doubtless been made apparent by the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying drawing. For this reason it is believed that a clear understanding of the invention is now at hand, and a more lengthy descrip tion is therefore unnecessary. 7
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown and described, it is to be understood that .minor changes coming within the field :of invention ,claimed may be resorted to if desired.
vided with a central integral cross plate flat upon its innerface, said annulus being provided at its bottom with an arcuate slot, and a segmental member integral with one side of'the annulus and spaced therefrom to pro- .vide asegmental opening forpassage of a predetermined saddle strap. 7
1n testimony whereof I affix my signature.
JOHN HELM. I
