TOY BELT SADDLE Original Filed Oct. 22, 1956 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Aiiol neys Patented July 5, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application October 22, 1936, Serial No. 107,083 Renewed January 3, 1938 4 Claims.

This invention relates to a toy belt saddle for the use and enjoyment of juveniles, especially boys, in exercising or play action.

The object of the invention is to provide a childs play device especially designed for playing cowboys and which is in the form of a bronco saddle rig or harness to be saddled to the body and worn either with or without chaps in simulation of a mounted cowman.

With the above objects in view, the invention consists of the novel arrangement, construction, and association of parts hereinafter more fully pointed out and described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

16 Figure 1 is a front elevation of the saddle rig or harness. v

Figure 2 is a side view thereof.

Figure 3 is a top plan view.

Figure 4 is a detail view of the cantle of the saddle.

Figure 5 is a vertical cross section of the cantle, and

Figure 6 is a detail view of an auxiliary member or chap belt.

The bronco saddle rig or harness consists of a front member or saddle bow with horn 2 simulating the arched front of a typical western saddle and a cantle 3 corresponding to the protuberant part of the back of a saddle. Connecting the saddle bow and the cantle is a body belt composed of a pair of long straps 4-4' and a short strap 5; each of the long straps being fastened by screws at one end within an opening in the saddle bow and buckled at its other end to 5 the corresponding end of the short strap 5, the latter being threaded through loops 6 on the back face of the cantle and above the shoulder or ledge 1, as illustrated in Figure 4. The horn and the saddle bow may be made of one piece of 40 metal or the saddle bow may be made of wood with a metal horse attached thereto. In either event, the saddle bow is covered with leather, imitation leather, or fabrics. The cantle may be made either of wood or metal or both and 45 covered with leather or fabric.

Connected with strap 4 and suspended therefrom by means of the strap loops 8 is a shieldshaped member or skirt-chap 9 to which the outer or front side ID of a leather gun holster 50 is shown. A similarly shaped skirt-chap H is likewise suspended from strap 4, and is provided with a pocket I2. Each skirt-chap is provided on the inner side and adjacent its lower or pointed end with strap loops l3 through which 55 is threaded a hold-down strap [4 to be buckled around the leg of the wearer and to prevent the skirt-chap from curling up or flaring out at its lower end.

The device thus constituted provides a saddle rig or harness which can be easily adjusted to 5 the body of the wearer and which can be used, either by itself, or in connection with cowboy chaps. When used with chaps, however, the skirt-chap may be discarded as unnecessary and a chap belt 15, such as shown in Figure 6, may 10 be substituted for straps 4-4 and 5. The chap belt consists of a perforated tongue portion a and a buckle carrying portion b having eyelets I! at their respective inner ends through which a lace I 8 is threaded for separably connecting the 15 portions of the belt. The chap belt is of a length to extend from the saddle bow I completely around the seat back or cantle 3 and to apply the same to the saddle rig or harness, the straps 4-4 and the strap 5, together with the skirt chaps 9 and II are disconnected from the saddle bow and cantle. The chap belt I5 is then unlaced and the separated portions connected to opposite sides of the saddle bow, the eyelet ends of the belt portions a and b being inserted into 25 the openings in the sides of the saddle bow and being held fast by the screws which formerly secured the straps 4-4' to the saddle bow.

Belts portions a and b, after being passed through the belt loops on the chaps (not shown) 30 and with the tongue portion at extending through the belt loop 6 of the cantle, are adapted to be buckled one to the other, around the body of the wearer.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. A toy comprising a body harness including a saddle bow and a cantle connected by a body belt.

2. A toy comprising a body harness including a saddle bow and a cantle connected by a body belt, and chap members suspended from the body belt.

3. A toy comprising a body harness including a body belt, a member at the front of the body belt simulating the arched front of a saddle, and a member at the back of the belt corresponding to the protuberance part of the back of a saddle.

4. A toy saddle rig or harness comprising a body belt, a saddle bow at the front of the belt, a cantle at the back of the belt and depending shield-shaped skirt-chaps at the sides of the belt and having leg engaging straps at their respective lower ends.
