BUCKLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 306,111, dated October 7. 1884.

Application filed February Q0, 1884. (No model.)

.T all whoml it 7mo-y concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. SoHENoIr, a resident of Marca, in the county of Macon and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buckles, of which the following is a specication.

In the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a plan or outline drawing of my device. Fig.' 2 is a side View of the same. Fig. 3 represents the buckle-tongue. Fig. iis the pintle. and Fig. 5 shows the buckle-frame in perspective.

a is the buckle-frame, provided with perforated lugs a.

b is ashieldfortlie end of thetongue, formed substantially as shown.

c is the pintle ou which the tongue pivots, and c c show a threaded end and a flattened head on the saine.

c represents a depression in fraincc directly under shield b.

d is the tongue of the buckle, provided with solid perforated head d.

In constructing my device the frame a, tongue d, and pintle c are each formed separately, and can therefore be readily attached after a loop :is completely formed. This arrangement enables a jobbcr to readily replace a broken buckle, and also makes it possible for the manufacturer to complete his harness, &c., minus the buckles, which can afterward be more readily and cheaply attached.

The function of shield b is to protect the' point of the buckle from contact with various substances-as, for instance, on a crupper, Where there is a constant tendency for the tail of the horse to become caught on the buckle. The depression e causes the buckle-tongue to maintain its position under shield b. Pintle c can also be riveted in frame@ when it is used for a purpose in which detachability would be of no. consequence, and head c may beforined as an ordinary screw-head.

By constructing the head of tongue d solid and passing the pintle through saine, greater stability is effected.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, in a buckle, of frame a, provided with perforated lugs a', tongue d, provided with perforated head d', and pintle o, adapted to be attached and detached, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of frame a, tongue d. depression e, and shieldb, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
