PHILIP GANZHORN, OF WASHINGTON, ILLINOIS.
STIRRUP FOR RlDlNG-SADDLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 281,861, dated July 24,1883.
Application filed May 2,1883. (No model.)
To aZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it knownthat I, PHILIP GANZHORN, of Washington, in the county of Tazewell and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Stirrup, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention consists of a toeguard and tilting plate, contrived for insuring-certain and ready escape of the feet of therider from the stirrups when thrown from the horse, to prevent being caught therein and dragged along the ground; and my invention consists, also, of an improved spur attachment to the stirrup, all as hereinafter fully described.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming partof this specification, in
to the top I) of the yoke at c, which is the center of the back of said top of the yoke, and also connect said strip by its other end to the center of the cross-bar d, which extends from side to side 6 of the yoke at the-front of the bottom plate f, to form a toe-guard, along up which the toe of the foot will swing for escaping from the stirrup, when the foot rests on a foot-plate, h, which I pivot to the rear end of the bottom plate f at i, in connection with the aforesaid toe-guard, (I, thus providing a simple and efiicient means of insuring the escape of the feet of the rider in case of falling from the horse. In order that the foot may rest securely and comfortably on the bottom plate h, I pivot the plate nearly under the ankle-joint of the riders footthat is, about one-third the length of the plate from its rear end. At the same time I provide the bottom piece f for the forward part of plate It to rest on, and I hang the stirrup to its strap at a point centrally over the bottom piece f. This locates the pivot about one-third the length of the foot-plate to the rear of the vertical line of the stirrup-strap, thus causing the ball front of its pivot, where the plate is support; ed by the bottom piece. In advance of this toe-guard I arrange the usual mud-guard, j, pivoting it to the top of the yoke at is. Under the bottom plate f, or upon the inner side, 0, of the yoke, I propose to arrange a spur consisting of two pointed wires, an, attached to a short socket, 01, which is connected to a plate, 0, to be detachably connected to the bottom of the stirrup by sliding in grooved cleats p, and fastening with a set-screw, q, with which pointed rods there is a guard, 8, attached to the end of a sliding rod, 1, and sliding on the said pointed rods m, the sliding rod t having a spring, a, that pushes the guard s for ward to the points of the rods m, to prevent them from taking effect when not intended to, but yielding readily when the rider thrusts the stirrup against the body of the animal, and allowing the points to prick him more or less, according to the force of the thrust, the said points at and guard sproj ecting suificiently beyond the side of the stirrup to enable the points to have contact with the animals body unobstructed by the side e of the yoke of the stirrup. The spring a is arranged in a tubular case, 12, which is connected to the car 10 of plate 0, and extends into socket a, said case 7) having a slot along it, inwhich a bit, 00, at-
tached to the rod 15 slides to prevent the guard from escaping from the points on by contact with the ear w.
To connect this spur device to the side of the stirrup, as represented in Fig. 4-, which it may be preferred to do in some cases, I make a triangular base, y, for the support of the grooved cleats p, in which to slide the plate 0, on which the spur device is mounted, connecting said base y to the inside of the yoke of the stirrup with the point of said base forward, so
that the spur-points will project obliquely t0 ward the body of the horse, to be made to take effect by correspondingly inward and backward movements of the stirrup by the rider. The contrivance of the spur device itself may be the same for this location as for the other, except as to the base y as aforesaid, using the same binding-screw, q.
I propose, in practice, to make the yoke consisting of top 7), sides 0, the bottom plate, f, and the foot-plate h of wood, the mudguard j being preferably made of leather; and I will ioo connect the yoke to the strap z by the metallic I loop a, having the stud b, to which the yoke, re-enforeed at the top by the wooden saddle or back piece 0, is swiveled, so as to turn freely, as stirrups are commonly arranged.
Having thus described niyinvention, I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent 1. The combination, with astirrup having a frame consisting of a yoke and bottom suspended by a strap, of a foot-plate fulcrumed in the rear of its middle to the rear of said bottom, at a point to the rear of the line of suspension, and resting on the bottom forward of said line, as and for the purpose specified.
2. The combination, with astirrup having a frame consisting of a yoke and bottom suspended by a strap, and a foot-plate within the tially as described.
5. The spur-points m, yielding guard s 1, socket a, tube a, spring a, stop as, and the supportingear w, attached to plate 0, and the said plate attached to the stirrup by the cleats p and binding-screw q, substantially asdescribed.
PHILIP GANZHORN.
