- CHECK-REIN HOOK.
SPECIFICATION forming pere ef Letters Patent Ne. 294,310, dated February 2e, 1384.
Application filed December 12, 1883. (No model.)
o all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Tnos. A, CRABTEEE, of East Surry, in the State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Check- Rein Hooks; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
v My invention relates to an improvement lin hooks for holding the check-reins of harness. The obj ect of the invention is to furnish a Icheck-rein hookwhich shall not only hold the further, in a guard of horseshoe shape, forniing, in connection with the top of the hook, a
lcurved slot, which permits the entrance of the loop or bend of the strap directly from above.-
In the drawings accompanying this application, Figure lis a side elevation of my device. Eig. 2 is a top view. Y
A represents the base-plate, by which the device is secured to the harness.
B is a check rein hook, which inclines slightly backward, so as to hold the strap securely when drawn tightly forward.
G is a standard or arm extending backward from the check-hook, and then curving upward nearly to the to'p of the check-hook, its upwardly-exten din g partbeing inclined slightly forward.
D represents the guard, which is mounted upon the upper end of the standard C. This guard is composed of a curved piece of metal approximately of horseshoe shape, having two curved arms, which project forward beyond the body of the hook B. The rounded body of the vhook and the curved guard form a curved slot opening directly upward. The bend of the strap pinched closely together may be readily passed through the slot from above to the base of the hook. As the strap is relaxed, it spreads to such an extent that any upward movement is stopped by the guard. Of course, if the strap is pulled tightly against the inclined hook, the tension will prevent it from rising.
The hook may be formed from any suitable material, finished and ornamented in any suitable manner.
Having thus described my invention, I Claim,-
As an improved article of manufacture, a e
THOMAS A. CRABTREE.
