Description
T. J'. MANSFIELD.
HARNESS TRACES.
Patented,Nov.14,1876.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
THOMAS J, MANSFIELD, OF WOODHULL, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN HARNESS-TRACES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 184,252, dated November 14, 1876; application filed February 24, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS J. MANSFIELD, of Woodhull, county of Henry, and State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements in Harness-Traces, of which the following is a specification:
My invention relates to improvements in harness-traces; and consists in making them of wood connected with other parts of the harness to support them, all as hereinafter fully described.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved trace. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a portion of a set of harness and of my improvement.
Referring to the parts by letters, letter A represents my improved trace, formed of a wooden bar, A, having a leather front end, B, and an eye, (J, on its rear end. The leather is pierced with holes a, by means of which it may be buckled to the hames-tug buckle b of an ordinary harness, and the eye 0 maybe engaged with the hook of an ordinary singletree.
In use the rear portion of the trace may be passed through the ordinary loop at on' the lower end of the hip-strap D, and a hook, a, may be placed on the under side of the trace,
to prevent the hip-strap slipping too far forward thereon.
This wooden trace A may be attached, as described, to any ordinary harness, and will be found useful in all such situations as elevating hay by a horsefork, or where the single-tree is attached to a rope or chain, and is liable, in turning or in backing, to fall against the draft-auimals legs.
It will be seen that the wooden trace will support the single-tree, and if two draft-animals are used, the four traces will support the single-trees and double trees.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A harness-trace constructed, as described,
with a wooden portion, A, a flexible end, B, and a rigid eye or hook, G, at its other end, and'with a hook, c, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have hereunto affixed my sig nature this 24th day of August, 1875.
THOMAS J. MANSFIELD.
Witnesses THOMAS MoKEE, LEWIS HURD.
