J. P. HISLEY BUCKLE AND STRAP ATTACHMENT.-

Patented Dec. 9, 1884.

JOHN P. HISLEY, OF SYRACUSE, NEW YORK.

BUCKLE AND STRAP ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 309,051, dated December 9,1884.

Application filed May 12, 1884.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN P. HISLEY, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Buckle and Strap Attachments, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention consists in a novel construction of a combined strap attachment and buckle designed for use on holdback-straps of harnesses, and adapted to have connected to it a snap hook or ring.

The invention is fully illustrated in the annexed drawings, wherein Figure l is a perspective view of the frame of the combined strap attachment and buckle. Fig. 2 1s alongitudinal section of the aforesaid frame, illustrating its connection with the strap and snaphook; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of a modification of the device.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

13 represents a buckle of the common style, having a loose tongue, 25. The frame of said buckle is formed with a rearward extension, 0, having a crossbar, a, near thebuckle,with a stud-pin, Z), projecting upward from said cross-bar. Back of the cross-bar a the extension 0 is formed with the raised strap tip-loop c, and back of the saidtip-loop is across-bar, d, and back of the latter the frame-extension is formed with a depressed crossbar, e, and terminates in an upwardly-curved wcar-iron,f, at the rear of the crossbar e. I

The described device is applied to a strap in the following manner: The end of the strap which is to carry the buckle is pierced and passed from the rear of the extension 0 forward through the opening between the two cross-bars d and e, thence over the forward cross-bar, a, and finally under the tonguecarrying bar of the buckle B. In the latter operation the stud-pin b is entered into the pierced part of the strap. The opposite end of the strap is extended over the top of the weariron f, around to the under side thereof, and thence .over the depressed rear end cross-bar, e, and forward underneath the succeeding crossbar,

cl, as represented by dotted lines in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The tip or free end of the strap after passing through'the usual loop on the thill is connected to the buckle B in the usual manner.

The strap and its attachment may be c011- nected to the usual ring on the breeching of the harness, either directly by hooking the wear-iron f into the said ring, and drawing the strap through the same before passing the strap over the cross-bar e, or by the medium of a snap-hook hung on the wear-iron f, as illustrated in Fig. 2 of thedrawings. In cases where the wear-iron f is deemed unnecessary, the extension 0 of the buckleframe can be terminated at the rear cross-bar, e, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, and sufficient length of strap left back of the frame to form a loop for connecting it either to the thill or harness.

Having described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The buckleframe B, formed with the rearward extension, 0, cross-bar a near the buckle, and provided with the stud I), raised strap tip-loop 0 back of crossbar a, cross-bar (1 back of loop 0, and the depressed cross-bar eback of cross-bar cl, all formed in one piece, substantially as set forth.

2. The buckle-frame B, formed with the rearward extension, 0, crossbar a near the buckle, the stud-pin b, projecting from said cross-bar, the raised strap tip-loop 0 back of the crossbar a, the cross-bar (Z back of the tip-loop, the depressed cross-bar eback of the cross-bar d, and the upwardly-curved wearironf on the end of the extension, all combined and constructed substantiallyas shown and set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name and affixed my seal, in the presence of two attesting witnesses, at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, this 28th day of April, 1884.
