PATENT XVILLIAM H. NICHOLS, OF EAST HAMPTON, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO THE BEVIN BROTHERS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
- CHIME ATTACHMENT FIOR HARNESS.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 284,885, dated September 11, 1883.
Application filed July 20, 1883.
T0 aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. NIcHoLs, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Hampton, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, have invented new and useful Improvements in Chime Attachments for Harness, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of chime attachments for harness in'which the bells of the chime are attached to a bow, which is in turn secured in a vertical position to the hames, collar, or saddle of a harness.
My said invention is especially designed as an improvement on the chime attachment for harness shown in Letters Patent of the United States of April 25, 1882, numbered 257,135; and my invention consists in a spring-bow for carrying a chime combined with socketplates adapted to be secured to the terrets or other part of a harness, and; to receive the ends of the bow, which are-held in engagement with the sockets by the spring force of the said bow.
The invention also consists in the novel con struction of the socket-plates and the spring bow, all of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a rear elevation of a harnesssaddle with my improvement attached, showing in dotted lines the-manner of springing the bow into place. Fig. 2 is a perspective detail view of one of the socket-plates.
Referring to the drawings, A indicates the bow, which is made of spring metal, so that it can be contracted by forcing the ends toward each other against its inherent spring. when this force is removed, the said inherent I spring force will serve to throw the said ends outward, and I control and utilize this latter force to firmly and securely lock the bow to the saddle.
C designates the saddle, and O the terrets, having shoulders c, which ordinarily bear against the upper surface of the saddle when the terrets are in place. In my invention I utilize this shoulder to bear upon a-socketplate, M, through a perforation in which the threaded shank of the terret operates, and
bells may be used as desired.
(No model.)
thus secure the said socket-plates removably to the saddle. The sockets m of these plates M project inwardly, and are adapted to receive the ends a of the bar, which ends pass into the sockets sufficiently far to give a firm bearing thereto.
The chime consists of the bells D and E, fitted upon the standard F, which is secured to the bow, and as many of these sets of The bells are arranged mouth to mouth, and are preferably of such different tones as will accord to give ,forth a musical chord, say one-fifth of an octave apart. The clappers G for these bells are connected by links or chains with the radiating arms H of a spider that is fitted upon the upper end of the standard F, and may operateoutside or inside of the bells, as may be preferred, some of the clappers being arranged to form contact with the upper bell and some with the lower one. A cap, I, is fitted upon the upper end of the stand ard F, and serves to hold the spider firmly in place.
The important feature of this invention, in that class of chimes in which the patent hereinbefore mentioned is included,lies in the fact that the utilization of the outward spring of the bow to lock the same in place is assisted by the gravity of the device, and that the invention utilizes the expansive force of the spring instead of its tension,the former being more direct and powerful.
I also attach importance to the fact that the terrets are utilized to hold the socketplates in position, and that said plates give an extended bearing to the ends a of the bow.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is a 1. The combination of a spring-bow carrying a chime with socket-plates adapted to be secured to a part of the harness,-and to receive the ends of the bow,which are confined therein by the spring action of the bow, substantially as described.
2. In a harnesschime, and in combination with the bow A, having outwardly-extending ends a, the socket -p1ates M, secured to the harness, and having sockets m, adapted to receive the said ends a of the bow and to my hand in the presence of two subscribing control lts expansive spring force and the Witnesses.
added ravity of the chimes said bow bein I locked in place by the outward expansive VILLIAM NICHOLS 5 spring force holding its ends in the socket- \Vitnesses:
plates, substantially as described. SARAH S. SMITH,
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set ABNER A. BEVIN.
