ADOLPH E. RUDOLPH, OF JEFFERSQNVILLE, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN HARNESS ATTACHMENTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,563, dated May 16, 1876; application file April 6, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that-I, ADOLPH E. R DOLPH, of J eflersonville, in the county of Sullivan and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Trace-Plates for Hariness, Which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 represents the old form of harness attachment, which my invention is designed to supersede. Fig; 2-is a front view of my.
improved plate, showing-the manner of fast ening it to a trace. Fig. 3' is a rear view of the plate detached. Fig. 4 is a cross-section thereof. Y
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.
My invention consists in apeculiarly-formed plate, which is intended'to be permanently .fastened to each of the traces of a harness for thepurpose of facilitating the attachment to such traces of the following partsthat is to say, the saddle-strap, the girth, and the hreeching strap, the object of the plate being, also, to lessen the cost of the harness.
The plate is provided with laterally-projectit in g loops for the attachment or connection of the parts above enumeratethand provided with rivet-holes, whereby it is adapted to .be firmly and permanently fastened to a trace, being, moreover, provided with flanges on two opposite edges, by which the plate is very iiimly held in position after it has been fast= ened to a trace, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In the drawing, the letter A designates the base or body of my plate, and B G D are its laterally-projecting loops. The loop B serves to receive a saddle-strap, E, while to the loop 0, (which is situated directly opposite the loop B,) is attached the end of a girth, I
The loop D is intended to receive the end of a' .breeching-strap, G.
In the base or body of the plate are formed holes a, (see Fig. 3,) which permit of securing the plate to a trace, H, by means of rivets b, as seen in Fig. 2, by which rivets the plate is firmly and permanently connected to the trace.
The letters I I designate flanges, which are formed on two opposite edges of the plate. The inner edges of these flanges are made of the shape of the edges of the trace, to which .the plate is intended to be fastened, and in the present example are parallel with each other, the flanges being, moreover, placed at such a distance. apart as to be capable of reeeiving the trace between them. When the plate is secured to a trace the flanges I I are made to abut against the opposite longitudinal edges thereof, and hence the strain of the saddle-strap, as well as the girth, which would .otherwise fall on the rivets b, is borne by the flanges, and the plate is very firmly held in' position. I v
The plate may be cast in one piece with the loops B CD, as well as the flanges I Land the rivet-holes, without difficulty, and consequently its cost is small, while'by the use of the plate the cost of a harness is considerably reduced, compared with the cost of the old style of harness represented in Fig. 1 of the drawmg.
The old style of harness just referred to is too well known to here need description.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A trace-plate for harness, constructed with laterally-projectin g loops B O D,-rivet-holes a, and flanges I I, substantially as described. In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 30th day of March, 1876.
