Description

, UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GUSTAV A. MITTENDORF, OF NEW BRAUNFELS, TEXAS.
SADDLE-TREE FORK.
SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent No. 224,709, dated February 17, 18530.
Application filed November 6, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GUSTAV ADOLPH MIT- TENDORF, of New Braunfels, in thecounty of Gomal and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Saddle-Forks, of which the following is a specification.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved saddle-fork. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation taken through the line as m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view taken through the line 3 y, Fig. 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts. The object of the invention is to strengthen the iron fork by means of a bent wooden part, as hereinafter described- A represents the side bars of the saddle-tree, about the construction of which there is nothing new.
Bis the iron part of the fork, the arms of which are made narrow and the neck hollow.
Upon the forward edge. of the inner surface of the arms of the fork B is formed a rib, O, which extends from the ends ofvthe arms to the arch of the fork.
1 Upon the middle part of the inner surface of the arms of the forkB is formed a second rib, D, which extends from the ends of the arms to and through. the cavity of the neck of the fork B. I y
The ribs 0 D strengthen the fork and allow it to be made lighter than would otherwise be practicable. The extension of the rib D into and through the cavity of the neck strengthens the neck against the strain when a lasso is used.
E is the forward part of the saddle-fork, which part is made of hard strong wood bent into U form and worked out into proper shape. The wooden part E is secured to the side bars, A, by screws or rivet and greatly strengthens the fork without materially increasing its weight.
Another advantage of the wooden part E is that it may be readily made narrower or wider, as may be desired.
F is the pornmel, which is made of wood and of any desired shape, and is secured. to the neck of the fork B by screws orrivets.
' I am aware that the arms of forks have been provided with flanges or ribs extending their entire length; but
What I claim is In saddle-tree forks, the combination, with the iron fork B, of the bent wooden part E, substantially as herein shown and described, to give the fork B additional strength, as set forth.
