JACOB EBERLE, OF MADISON, INDIANA.
SIDE-SADDLE TREE.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 223,843, dated January 27, 1880.
Application filed November 13,1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J AGOB EBERLE, of Madison, in the county of Jefferson and Stateof Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Side-Saddle Trees, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to trees for ladies saddles, the object being to produce a light, strong, simpie, and durable tree. The tree belongs to that class in which the concave seat is built up of wood.
In the drawings, which serve to illustrate my invention, Figure lis a top View or plan of the tree. Fig. 2 is a side view of thesame. Fig. 3 is a transverse section takenin theplane of the line a; w in Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4 is a front View with the cantle and back portions left off to avoid obscuring the view. Fig. 5 is a detached and enlarged view of the perforated filling-piece, made preferably of metal.
A is the cantle, hollowed out to form a dishshaped seat for the rider. This can tle is flared all around and rests upon the bars B B. These bars extend beyond the cantle behind, as at a, to receive the jockey. The bars are secured at their front ends to the crooks G O by means of a tapered lap gained into the outer faces of the crooks, as at b b. This construction gives great strength with corresponding lightness. Thelong horn D is or may be made of bent wood, and it extends across from the top of one crook to the top of the other, forming a bridge, 0, to connect the crooks together. E is the short horn, secured to the crook as shown.
The above-named are the leading or prominent parts of the tree. At the point where the cantle joins the bar, on the right side of the tree, I provide a filling-piece, F, (see Figs. 1 and 5,) preferably of metal or other hard material. This piece has perforated flanges d e on the sides adjoining the cantle and bar, whereby it may be firmly secured to the same by'nails or screws. Its free edge f is also perforated to receive the stitches of the saddler in attaching the leather.
G is a fillet arranged under and behind the long horn, D, to fill up the spaces left at the junction of the bar, the crook, and the said horn. H is a corresponding fillet arranged behind the horn E to fill the angle formed by the junction of the said horn with the bar. Thesefillets add strength and give the proper contour to the tree.
It will be seen that the bars stand apart and leave an open space between them, and it has been customary to cut down the'edges of the bars at the seat, so that at this point the tops of the bars would be in a plane lower than the upper face of the cantle-that is, in cutting or hollowing the seat the bars as well as the cantle were cut down. I leave these edges of the bars standing, as shown at g g in Figs; 1, 2, and 3, which leaves the line of junction h, Figs. 1 and 3, the most depressed, thus fitting the seat to the person and giving the rider a firmer seat.
Heretofore it has been customary, in building up the saddle on a tree of this-character, to extenda broad piece of stifl leather from the long horn back to the cantle, tacking it to each. I provide the perforated piece F, to which the said leather is sewed in applying it. The edge of the leather may be fitted into the recessed upper surface of the said piece.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is- 1. The dished and flared wooden cantle A, provided with the perforated piece F, of metal or other hard material, for the purposes set forth. v
2. A saddle-tree having a dished or flared cantle, A, mounted on bars B B, asshown, so as to form ridges g g at the center and depressions' h h at the junction of the cantle with the bars, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
3. The combination, in a saddle-tree, of the bars B B, provided with tapering laps b, the crooks (J G, gained to receive the said laps, and the long horn D, arranged to connect and bridge over the space between the bars, substantially as herein set forth.
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JACOB EBERLE.
