No. 230,150. Patented July 20,1880;

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE W. ROBERTS, OF VVATERBURY, CONNECTICUT.
TRACE-FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 230,150, dated July 20, 1880, Application filed June 11, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom at may concern:
Be itknown that I, GEORGE W. ROBERTS, of Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Trace-Holders, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a top view of a whiffletree with my trace-holder attached. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of one end of a whiffletree with my trace-holder attached.
The object of my invention is to furnish a device attached to a whiffletree, over which the ends of the traces of a harness may be easily slipped and by which the traces may be held in their places in the whiffletree.
In the drawings, A is a whifiiletree,with slots H and I cut through it for the reception of the ends of the trace-holders, one on each end of the whiffletrce.
B is a trace-holder, attached to the whittletree A by the bolt D.
C is a trace-holder, attached to the other end of the whiffletree by the bolt E. This traceholder is a thin flat piece of metal, so bent as to form a V-shaped spring, with its ends so bent as to slide over one another in the slot in the whifliet-ree when the spring is compressed. This trace-holder may be made either of brass or steel. Of course there should be one of them on each end of the whiffletree.
When the end of the trace, by means of the Instead of the double spring, which is made a by the V-shaped spring in the drawings, one end may be shortened, so as to leave only one spring either in the upper or the under side of the whiffletree. The spring will then be partly V-shaped; but one end will be longer than the other.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. The V-shaped spring 13, attached to a whiffletree having a slot in it, substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination of whiffletree A, having slots H and I in it, V-shaped springs B and C, and bolts D and E, all substantially as shown and described.
GEORGE W. ROBERTS.
