Description
March 22, 1938. 'RA E I 2,111,895
RIGGING RING Filed Oct. 29, 1935 Q; GJ T'Emzassa Patented Mar. 22, 1938 Niren 1 Claim.
This invention relates to the construction of riding saddles and in particular, the construction of the rigging rings thereof.
The primary object of the invention is to pro- 5 vide a rigging ring so constructed that the rigging straps which are connected thereto will not slip from their proper positions on the rigging ring when excessive strain is brought to bear on the rigging rings when tightening the cinches or girths of the saddle.
An important object of the invention is to provide a rigging ring which will insure greater draft at the front of the saddle, or at a point directly under the pummel, and lessen the draft or strain at the rear or cantle of the saddle, thereby insuring against the saddle chafing or rubbing the animals back to bruise the back of the animal which usually results in the animals back becoming sore, commonly known as kidney sores.
Another object of the invention is to construct a rigging ring which will permit of a free forward and backward swing of the stirrup, strap, or leathers, and to connect the rigging straps in such a way as to eliminate wear on the straps, and prevent bulging of the straps at the points of connection between the straps and ring.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a view illustrating a rigging ring constructed in accordance with the invention, and showing the rigging straps of the saddle as connected thereto.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the rigging ring.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3--3 of Figure 2. a 7
Referring to the drawing in detail, the riggin ring forming the subject matter of the present invention includes an upper bar 5 which is of a length equal to the width of the front rigging strap 6 which is connected thereto. The rear end of the bar 5 extends downwardly and rearwardly as at I where it connects with the bar 8 which is of a length equal to the width of the rigging strap 9, to the end that the rigging straps connected with the ring, will be securely held against slipping or movement longitudinally of the bars.
Shoulders l3 and I4 are formed, due to the construction of the member I, and it will further be seen that due to this construction, bulging of the rigging strap at the rigging ring will be prevented.
The lower side of the rigging ring comprises a curved bar Ill that connects with the bar 8 at the lower end of the bar, 8. This lower side of'the rigging ring provides means on the saddle to which the cinchesor girths are attached, and due to the construction of the rigging rings, it will be seen that the greater strain or draft directed to the rigging rings when the cinches or girths are tightened, will be confined to the front rigging straps or leathers thereby lessening the pull or strain on the back rigging strap.
As clearly shown by Figure 3 of the drawing, the material of which the rigging ring is formed has its inner edge rounded at H. The side faces of the ring taper towards the outer edge I 2 of the ring, to the end that excessive wear of the rigging straps as well as crimping of the rigging straps will be eliminated.
Due to the specific construction of applicants rigging ring, it will also be seen that the cinch or girth connected with the ring will engage the animal quite close to the animals forelegs, thereby holding the saddle in proper position so that it will not slip forward or backward when roping animals.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
A rigging ring for use with the rigging straps of a saddle, comprising two straight, smooth, solid bars in converging angular relation to each other for receiving the front and rear rigging straps respectively, a short inwardly curved bar connecting the converging ends of said straight bars for keeping said front and rear rigging straps apart, and a long outwardly curved bar connecting the diverging ends of said straight bars for receiving the girth strap.
GEORGE F. KRAUSSE.
