Description
H. H'. KNIGHT.
STIRRUPS. vNo.186,853. 4Patented Jan.30,1877.
UNITED STATES PATENT QEFICEo HENRY H. KNIGHT, OF SANDUSKY, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN STIRRUPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. [86.853, dated January 30, 1877; application tiled January 3, 1877.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, HENRY H. KNIGHT, of Sandusky, in the county of Erie and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stirrups 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specilication.
The object of my invention, which belongs to the class of wooden saddle-stirrups, is to strengthen the sides, where the ends of the bent piece of wood forming the stirrup are secured to the block around which the strap passes, and to prevent the strap from ehang the stirrup.
It consists, essentially, in the use of metalbolt plates, which are fastened to the outside of the stirrup-wood, for the purpose of holding the bolt that joins the ends of the stirrupwood in place, strengthening the wood, and preventing it from splitting; also, in the use of a metal sheave, provided with flanges, for the purpose of preventing the strap from chafing the stirrup, and at the same time allowing it to swing freely.
Figure l is a perspective view of my inlproved stirrup, and Fig. 2 isa vertical section through the sheave, bolt, and bolt-plates.
The ends of the stirrup-woodaare connected by a bolt, b, which carries a metal sheave, f. rEhe bolt-plates c are made with recesses d to receive the head and nut of the connectingbolt. The bolt-plate'extends downward from the eye, through which the bolt passes, and branches into two arms, c, which are screwed to the stirrup. The plate is curved so as to conform to the bulge of the stirrup. This construction of the bolt-plate distributes the strain over the side ofthe stirrup, and prevents the wood from splitting, as it is liable to do if only a washer is used. The sheave f turns freely on the bolt b, and isl made with flanges gon its ed ges. The stirru p-strap passes around the sheave, and the flanges prevent it from chang and wearing the Wood of the stirrup.
1 claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The combination ofthe bolt-plates c, constructed substantially as described, with the bolt b and stirrup a, substantially as and for the 'purposes set forth.
2. The combination of the sheave f, constructed with the flanges g, with the bolt b .and stirrupa,substantia1ly as and for the purposes set forth. l l
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
HENRY H. KNIGHT. Witnesses:
