UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SA.MUEL LOGAN, OF-GLINTON, ILLINOIS.
METALLIC LOOP FOR HALTERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 261,242, dated July 18, 1882.
Application filed April 17, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL LOGAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Clinton, in the county of De Wittand State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Loops for Halters, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to metallic loops for halters.
It consists in a rectangular frame having a single vertical standard or cross-bar connecting the two horizontal pieces and forming a narrow slot near the forward end, and also having a recess in its rear lower side produced byarectan gular depression at that point, all of which will be more fully hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.
The object of my invention is to firmly se-- cure the nose-band and prevent the same from falling down or drooping, which is the case where a ring or square is used. By the use of my device the nosebandis caused to occupy a fixed right-angled position from the cheek-strap without the aid of stays. This relative position is maintained by reason of the vertical cross bar, which fits squarely against the back of the nbse-band, that passes through the opening between the forward end of the loop and said cross bar. The noseband at this point passes around the end piece and is lapped over and stitched. The chinstrap passes around the back piece of the loop, the lower side of the strap fitting in the recess. The strap by this means is also firmly secured and caused to occupy a fixed relative position.
-By having the recess I am enabled to make the loop at least one-quarterof an inch shorter. It will be seen that the recess permits the chinstrap to pass under the lower end of the cheekstrap. If it were not for said recess, the chinstrap would press against the side of the cheekstrap, causing friction and wear.
In addition to the foregoing advantages, a
shorter lap can be made by the use of my device than can be accomplished by the employment of a metallic ring in the same connection, and consequently both leather and time are saved. It must also be apparent that so long as there is a stitch left in either thenoseband or chin-strap neither can droop. They will be held in position, as before stated, by means of the vertical cross-bar and recess, respectively.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a halter, showing the position of my loop. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the loop with fragments of the nose-band and cheek and chin straps attached thereto. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the loop without the straps and band.
The letter A represents the front piece of the loop. B is the vertical cross-bar. Between the bars A and B and the front ends of the top and bottom-pieces is a space constituting a narrow vertical slot. G is the back piece; D, the horizontal top piece; E, the bottom piece, on the rear end of which is the recess F. G indicates the nose-band; H, the cheekstrap, and I the chin-strap.
Having thus described my invention and set forth its advantages, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Paten An improved metallic loop for halters, consisting of a rectangular frame having a narrow vertical slotat one end adapted to receive and closely hold a strap, and a vertical recess at the opposite end formed by depressing the end of the lower bar of the frame, the end bar of the frame forming the outer wall of such recess, substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
SAMUEL LOGAN.
