UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE.
S. HENRY POPE, OF PABKVILLE, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN RElN-HOLDERS.
kpecification forming part of Letters Patent No. 214,950, dated April 29, 1879; application filed March 19, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, S. HENRY POPE, of Parkville, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in Rein-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a rein-holder that may be readily attached to and removed from the rein, and be readily adjusted to any point on the same that may best suit the driver.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a. plan or top view of the holder detached from the rein. Fig. 2 is an edge or side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view, showing the holder attached to the rein.
A represents a metal frame, somewhat longer than it is wide, slightly bent or curved, as best shown in Fig. 2. On one of the side bars of the frame is provided a rigid hook or keeper, B, and the other bar is rounded at C, and pro-' vided with a collar or shoulder at D.
E is a sliding cross-bar, provided with an eye on its end, through which the rounded bar (3 passes. This forms a hinge-joint or attachment of the sliding cross-bar to the frame A, and the sliding cross-bar may be moved forward and backward along the bar. When the sliding cross-bar is pushed forward along the bar until its eye end rests against the shoulder D the other or free end passes under the keeper B, as shown in the several figures. When it is desired to disengage the sliding cross-bar E,iL is slipped back on the bar (3, and may then be turned back, as indicated by broken lines in Fig. 1. This leaves the open ing in the frame unobstructed.
F is an ordinary strap or loop secured to the rear end bar of the frame, to form a holdfast, to be grasped by the hand when driving.
The holder is readily attached to the rein G (see Fig. 3) by releasing and throwing back the sliding cross-bar E, laying the rein across the frame endwise, as shown, turning down the sliding cross-bar across it, and pushing the same forward until its free end engages the keeper B. The strain on the rein keeps the sliding cross-bar in place.
The sliding cross-bar may be provided with a knob or button on its free end, as shown; but this should not project beyond the bar of the frame when the sliding cross-bar is in place.
The holder is released by slackening the rein, slipping back the sliding cross-bar until its free end passes out of the keeper, and then turning it back.
I prefer to make the frame A of the form shown; but it may be of any convenient or suitable form.
I claim- 1. Arein-holder consisting of a solid frame, A, provided with a keeper, B, and a sliding cross-bar, E, arranged to slide and turn on the side bar of the frame, and its free end arranged to engage said keeper B, substantially as set forth.
2. ha rein-holder, the combination of the solid frame A, provided with the rounded side bar 0, the shoulder D, and keeper B, with the sliding cross-bar E, substantially as set forth.
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
S. HENRY POPE.
