JULIUS VILLIAM OONRADT, OF MIDDLETOWN, CONNECTICUT;
HARNESS FOR HORSES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 313,850, dated li/arch 17, 1885.
A pplicaiiou filed December i8, 1854.
T o @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J ULIUs WILLIAM GoN- RADT, of Middletown, Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Harness for Horses, of which the following description and claim constitute the specilication, and which is illustrated by the accompanying sheet of drawings.
rlhis invention is au attachment of the saddle of a harness in the place ofthe check-hook, and its function is to enable the driver to uncheck the horse without leaving his scat in the carriage, and also to automatically cheek the horse at different elevations of the head after the purpose of unchecking has been accomplished.
Figure l of the drawings is a side view of my invention ready for attachment to a harness. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same with the side plate and the parts exterior thereto removed. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the invention as seen from a point on the right-haud side of Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a front elevation of a harness-saddle with the invention attached thereto. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the forward halt' of a horse properly harnessed with a harness containing my invention.
A is the case of the apparatus, consisting of a disk and a peripheral flange integral therewith. The flange is provided with the opening B, and is fastened to the standard C, which standard is attached to the saddle of a harness by the bolt D and the nut E. The arbor F is rigidly fixed in the axis of the case A, being attached to the disk by having its squared end fitted to a corresponding recess in the disk. rIhe side plate, G, is held rigidly against the edge of the flange of the case I by means of a hole in the center of the plate opposite to the axis of the arbor F, and by means of the screw I-I, which fastens the plate to the end of' the arbor.
The inner case, I, is a flanged disk ot'smaller diameter and narrower periphery than case A. Its flange also extends in the opposite direction from the other, and its disk has a round hole in its center for the reception of the ar bor F, upon which it revolves.
The coiled spring J is placed within the in- (No model ner case and around the arbor, and has its outer end fixed to the case and its inner end fixed to the arbor.
The strap K is coiled several tinies around the inner case, to the outside of the iiange of which it is fastened at its inner end, and its outer end projects from the opening B in the flange of the outer case, A, and is provided with a suitable hook or other device for convenient attachment. to the check-rein of a harness. The outer side of the inner case is provided with the shallow socket L, for the reception of the inner end of the dog M, which dog reciprocates through the tubular projection N of the plate G.
A spiral spring, O, encircles that part of the dog which is within the tubular projection, and is so adjusted as to gently carry the end of the dog into the socket L. The outer end of the dog is provided with the shank I?, extending backward therefrom, and the rear end of the shank is provided with the ring Q, which ring is substantially parallel with the bolt D when viewed as in Fig. I, but is carried far enough to the left of that bolt to be substantially on a linc with one of the reinrings of the saddle, as shown in Figs. 3, 4t, and 5.
The mode of operation of my invention is as follows: The coiled spring J draws the strap K into the Outer case, A, and around the inner case, I, and the spiral spring O holds the dog M into engagement with the socket L. Thus the hook or other termination of the strap K acts as a fixed check-hook upon the check-rein, which is attached thereto. Vhen the driver wishes to uncheck the horse, to allow it to drink by the wayside, or to lower its head while ascending a hill, he pulls `his lefthand rein gently to the left, and thus withdraws the dog M from the socket L. Then the horse will lower its head against the action of the coiled spring J. Afterward, when the head is raised, the spring J will draw in the strap K until it reaches its inmost limit, when the l driver, by moving the lefthand rein back to its normal position, allows the dog M to again engage with the socket L; or, by sooner releasing the ring Q from the pressure of his rein, the driver may sooner allow the dog to In a oheolrrein holder, the combination of ro engage with the socket, and thus may check the Case I, having the socket L, with the dog the horses head at aless elevation than before. M, the spring O, and the plate G, provided The dog,` M may be managed yloy a cord or with the projection N, all substantially as de- 5 strap of its own extending to the hand of the scribed.
