\ TRAC E-EYE GUARD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 28'l,079,'dated July 10, 1883.
Application filed January 19, 1883. (No model.) y
.To @ZZ whom itfmay concern: 'Be it known that I, DOMINICK KALTEN- BACHER, of Shelbyville, in the county of Shelby and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and Improved Trace-Eye Guard, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.
which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure l. is a side view of the back end of a trace with my invention applied. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on line a: x of Fig. l; and Fig. 3 is a cross-section on line y y of Fig. 1, showing the guard as inserted in the trace-eye preparatory to upsetting or clinching it overy on the back oi' the trace for securing it therein.
The trace A, constructed, as usual, with two or more layers oi' leather, c, strongly stitched or otherwise secured to each other ilatwise, is provided with the eye vB for the entrance of the whifletree end-irons, draft-hook, or other connection to a vehicle or agricultural implenient.
G represents the trace-eye guard, formed with the iiange c, projecting outward from one edge, which flange rests upon the face of the trace, partly around eye B, so that when thel edge c of the guard, which protrudes from the eye at the other side of the trace a suitable distance for the purpose, is upset, turned down, or clinched upon the opposite face of the trace,
` about the eye thereof, forming the under or opposite ilange, c2, of Fig. 2, the guard will be securely fastened in the eye B, at the endthereof inext the back end ci' the trace, so that when the draft-connecting whiffletree or hook is adjusted in the eye within the guard the latter will effectually prevent the splitting or tearing out of the trace behind the eye, which,
moreover, is contracted in form from the ends l of the guard O toward the front, so that when the guard is secured at the back of the eye the form of the latter shall prevent forward displacement of the guard, as will be understood from Fig. l; and for greater security of the guard in the eye, I form upon or attach to the guard the prong D, which is socketed in the material of the trace or between the stitched Y layers thereof, and the prong being at the bend of the eye, where the draft-strain is received, the guard is materially strengthened by the prong.
By making the guard in U form, as shown, I secure its easy application, and provide for moldingand casting it with its'attached prong of any suitable malleable metal, permitting the clnchl'ng of the iiange c over the trace, as above described.
My improved trace-eye guard may be applied to traces for light or heavy draft without marring their appearance, and will be found especially useful when hauling heavy loads on uneven roads, where the drai`t strain is such as to subject the traces to sudden shocks and strains.
` I am aware that it is not new to insert a cast bar having an eye with an outer horizontal `flange in the end of trace, or to attach a cast plate with an eye to the rear end of trace; but
That I do claim as new and of my invention isl The U shaped trace-eye guard C, having the prong D, and made of malleable metal, horizon tally iianged at c, and provided with an edge, c', adapted to be upset, as and for the purpose specified. i
