Description

Patented Mar. 29, 1927.
UNITED STATES MATHEW rrENnmKs, or oGEMA, SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA- SAFETY DEVICE FOR SADDLE STIRRUPS.
Application filed January 22, 1926, Serial No. 85,073, and in Canada April 29, 1925.
The purpose of my invention is to provide a means for releasing the foot of the rider when he falls, or is thrown from the saddle. I attain this objectby the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing7 in which Figure l is a vertical view of the stirrup with the invention in position.
Figure 2 is a vertical view ot that portion or' the stirrup detached through the operation of my safety device.
Figure 3 is a vertical view of that portion of the stirrup remaining after the operation ot the safety device.
Figure 4 is a horizontal view ot one of the cross bars stretching across the stirrup showing the points of attachment to the stirrup.
Figure 5 is a plan of the other cross bar.
Figure 6 is a section through the shank ot stirrup showing the actuating spring and the notched portion of shank to allow the lug 011 the cross bar to engage with the recess cut in a stirrup post.
Figure 7 is a section through stirrup post at head of same.
Figure 8 is a .small spring placed in the upper end of the tubular sides of the stirrup.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The invention consists of two tlat, arched metal bars AA placed one above the other extending across the stirrup and each attached by one end only to opposite sides of the stirrup at EE by hinges permitting the bars to turn in one direction only and each held in position by strong springs. At FF each bar has a lug fitting into a recess C cut in a stirrup post D, through an opening provided .at B. The other end ot' the bars AA have a portion cut out to allow the bars to lie horizontally between the two sides of the stirrup and at a sutilcient height above the foot plate of' the stirrup to permit easy entrance and withdrawal ot the toot from the stirrup. The two sides of the stirrup are tubular and the two stirrup posts DD attached to the foot plate K are adapted to telescope in said stirrup sides when inserted from below. In the upper end of the tubular sides ot the stirrup are insertedtwo small springs to assist in holding the stirrup posts DD firmly and securely when in position. These posts DD and the toot plate K are held in position by the lugs FF in the bars AA titting into recesses CC in the stirrup posts DD, When the stirrup is in proper position and pressure is applied backward on the bars AA they yield inward and because of the lug J on the lower bar, they yield simultaneously. In turning, the lugs at FF on each bar are released -from the recesses CC in the stirrup posts DD allowing the toot plate of the stirrup and the stirrup posts to drop out, although retain-ed by a chain attached to the toot plate K and to side of stirrup.
Freni the above description it will be seen that I have invented a device that will eectively safeguard a rider who has fallen or been thrown from his horse and is unable to extricate his foot from the stirrup from being dragged along by the horse and there by injured or killed.
When such an accident occurs the toe of the rider must necessarily press backward on the two cross bars AA This pressure would force back the cross bars and in so doing the foot plate K of the stirrup would be released and drop out and the foot of the rider would be freed with ease.
As many alterations can he made in the above construction without departing from the spirit or scope of the claim, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specifications and drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not iu a limiting sense.
I claim as my invention:
A safety stirrup comprising a yoke having tubular sides, a foot bar having upwardly projecting posts adapted to telescope in said sides, a pair of parallel bars, one end of each ot which is pivoted to an opposite side of the yoke, means for causing` the tree ends of th-e bars to retain the posts in operative posltion, and means on one of the said bars for causing both to move simultaneously to free said posts when pressure is applied to said first mentioned loar.
