GEORGE W. DAVIES, OF DOBYVILLE, ARKANSAS.'

HAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 301,217, dated July l, 1884.

Application filed April 26, 1884.

T0 all whom, it may con/cern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. Davins, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dobyville, in the county of Clark and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Haines and Fastenin gs Thereto; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertainsto make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters and figures of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

My invention has relation to haines and hame-fastenings; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts.

Figure I is a front View of my hames with my fasteners attached. Figs. 2, 3, 4l, and 5 are detailed views of the same.

My haines a, a are made of wood, and bound with iron binding commencing at points l and running over the top of the llame, round over the outside, thence over the lower end to points 2. The lower ends of my hames are straight from points 3 to 4L 4, thus allowing the fasteners to work far enough below the collar not to rub it. They are also straight at their upper ends from points 3 3 to 4 4, and have two or more holes, b, so that the upper fastenings may be put in either, thus adapting the hames to a long or short collar. The upper ends of my hames are secured together by These hooks have their loop ends c adapted to work in loop d, and are counter sunk in the lower side ofthe loop, so that the lower face of both the hooks and loop will be even. fit the upper end of the collar,.is about two inches wide, two or three inches long, and has a hole, d, in either end for the hooks c c to work in. These hooks have each a threaded rod, c, which passes through hole b of the hames a, and each have thumb-nuts e working on their threaded ends on the outer face of (See Fig. 2.) The loop d is curved toV (No model.)

the haines. The lower ends of'my haines also have rods f f, with threaded ends f2 passing through holes g g in the haines. solid square link, h, in its inner end,working loosely. It also has thumb-nuts t' i on its threaded end-one against either edge of the hame-to iix the rod in the hame at any point desired. Rod f also has thumb-nutsjj working on its threaded end-one against the inner and the other against the outer edge of the hanne. This rod has on its inner end a hook, 7c, adapted to t inthe square link h. Italso has a snap, Z, to prevent the link from working out.

I do not, claim anything` for the snap, as I may or may not use it; so with the inner dotted nut. The advantage of the square link working loosely, is to allor the llames to give to the movement ofthe shoulders of the horse 4caused by stepping. I

-By these arrangements in the various parts of my invention, I can make my hannes long` or short, wide or narrow, thus fitting them to any collar, and securing them without wear to the collar, and beyond the possibility of coming loose without some ofthe parts being broken.

Having thus described my invention, `what I ltodf has a claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of hooks c c,passing through holes b, with thumb-nuts e, working on the threaded ends c2 of the same, the loop ends c, countersunk into and iitting holes d of curved loop d, hames a'a, rod f, passing through hole g, thumb-nuts i z, square link h, rod f', having hook k, and thumb-nut j, all substantially as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth. 4

In testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
