IMPROVEMENT- IN HALTER-FASTENINGS.
Speciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 170,207, dated November 23, 1875; application filed May 24, 1875.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is' a side elevation of my improved fastening. Figs. 2' and 3 are sections in lines x fr and y y, Fig. l, respectively.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts in each of the figures.
A represents the lower part of the cheekpiece of a halter, and B a portion of the chinstrap, the two parts meeting at right angles to each other, or nearly so, and the former overlapping the latter in the usual manner. Gis my improved fastening, consisting of a plate or body having three arms, c c c, tWo of which are arranged in line, andthe third at right angles thereto, as shown in the drawing, or in a direction to correspond with the arrangement of the straps to be secured together. c represents a loop of oval or other suitable shape, formed at the end of each arm c, to permit the passage of the respective strap through the same., The body of the fastening is preferably recessed on its under sidefor theV reception of the overlapping part on the cheekpiece A, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. d is the rivet by which the two straps A and B are secured to the fastening C. The loops c', being arranged at a distance from the rivet or point of attachment of thestraps to the fastening, serve to retain the straps in their proper relative position, and prevent the halter from becoming unsightly by the straps being pulled d ,out of shape, and, being bent out of line with the arms c a distance equal to aboirt the thiol;- ness of the straps, permit the straps to lie in an even plane. The loops also serve to partially relieve the rivets from the strains which result from the horse pulling on the halter, thereby preventing the tearing out of the rivetholes in the straps. The straps composing the halter are readily `secured together With my improved fastening without requiring any fitting, except cutting off such portions of the cheek-pieces as may project beyond the lower edge of the chin-straps. My improved fastening is readily cast of iron `or other suitable metal, and forms a light, cheap, and neat harness-trimming. It is obvious that my form of fastening is also adapted for securing straps of other articles than halters Where asimilar mode of fastening and support is required.
l am aware that straps have heretofore been secured together by metallic frames and rivets, and such I do not broadly claim; but
What claim as my invention is- The halter -fastening C, constructed with solid supporting-arms c c c and loops c c c', bent out ofthe plane of the arms, and adapted to be secured to the straps by rivet d, all substantially as and for the purposes herein described.
JAMES THORNTON.
