IMPROVEMENT IN SADDLE- STIRRUPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 208,972, dated October 15, 1878;
August 17, 1878.
application filed To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN M. FREEMAN, of Parkersburg, in the county of Montgomery and State of Indiana, have invented a new and Improved Saddle-Stirrup, of which the following is a specification:
The invention will first be described in connection with the drawing and then pointed v a front view of my improved stirrup, and Fig.
2 is a vertical .section at the line :0 00.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
a is the stirrup, which may be of any desired form or style, and made of wood or metal.
I) is the stirrup-strap, that connects with the saddle, (not shown,) and c is the loop that conneets the strap 1) and stirrup a, as next described.
d is a plate that is pivoted in the upper part of stirrup a on a screw-bolt, c, that passes through the sides of the stirrup and transversely through plate (I. There is space enough between the lower end of plate (I and the bottom of the stirrup to'prevent displacement of plate (I under ordinary circumstances. The upper end of plate (I carries a bolt, j, that is held in a slot in d by a cross-pin, 9, that passes through an eye on the end of bolt f.
bolt f extends through a hole, 71 in loop 0 and into a recess, z, in head-piece k of the stirrup, and in that position the loop 0 is firmly held. The loop 0 extends vertically through a slot This provided in the cap-piece Z of the stirrup, and is held from being pushed in too far by its shoulders m.
a is the guard-piece that is pivoted between the sides of the stirrup by a bolt, 0, and is provided with a projection, 19, at the inner side, that extends above the eye of bolt f.
In case of accident whereby the rider is thrown and his foot caught in the stirrup a, the pressure upon the lower end of plate (I swings that end in the direction shown by dotted lines, and consequently throws the bolt f out of the recess 6 and hole h in loop a, and the stirrup a comes loose. This movement of plate cl also swings out the guard at, so that its projection 29 holds the bolt fin its proper position for relockin g the parts when the plate (I is turned back to its normal position. The extent of motion of plate (I and guard at is limited by a cross-pin, q, against which the upper end of guard at bears when the stirrup is unlocked.
By tightening the nut on screw-bolt 0 to cause more orless friction of the stirrup against head a, the parts will be held in position as tightly as desired.
I am aware that it is not new to connect a stirrup with the saddlestrap by a loop and hook, the latter attached to and unhooked by a toe-guard extending out in front of the stirrup but hat I claim as new and of my invention In a stirrup, the combination of the plate (I, pivoted at e, the eyebolt 9, pin f, and perforated saddle-strap link 0 with stirrup a, having the recess i on one side, and the opposite guard, at, having projection p, as shown and described.
JOHN MURRAY FREEMAN.
