BUCKLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters I-atent No. 320,012, dated June 16, 1885.
Application filed March 14, 1885. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, HERMAN STAUss, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vhitewater, in the county of Walworth and State of Visconsin. have invented a new and useful Buckle, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in buckles, in which a wedge having a pin operates in conjunction with the frame of the buckle, a lever, and a clasp; and the objects of my improvements are, first, to provide a buckle that will hold a strap or tug by means of a pin and the pressure of a wedge, thus taking part of the strain off of the pin. so as to prevent tearing the strap or tug, and, second, to provide a buckle that can be easily adjusted. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a top view of the entire buckle. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the whole buckle on the dotted line m m. Fig. 3 is a side View of the entire buckle. Fig. 4 is a top and side view of the wedge and pin part of the buckle, and Fig. 5 is a vertical section of the buckle on the dotted line n n. i
Similar letters referto similar parts throughout the several views.
The frame of the buckle b consists of a flat piece of metal having one end curved so as to form nearly or quite aright angle, and through which end there is aslot, g, to receive the strap or tug d. The other end of the frame is also' slightly curved,and is provided with two lugs, e e, which operate upon and hold the clasp C.
The lever A has a hollow cylindrical roller, h, at one end,with a slit or opening, i, therein, by means of which it is hinged to the end of the frame h.
The wedge c is provided with a pin, f, of convenient size to fit closely into the buckleholes of a strap or tug upon which the buckle is used. rlhis buckle may be used for almost any purpose for which a common buckle is used, but is intended principally for a tugbuckle fora harness, in which case it is used as follows: The square end jj of the clasp O is attached to the rear end of the short or hamc tug of the harness. The main tug is then passed through the slot g in the buckle-frame b and on through the clasp C. The wedge c is then placedon the tug d,with the pinfprojecting through one of the holes in the tug. The lever A is then turned down onto the tug, and the end thereof, k, is secured beneath the clasp C.
When thebuckleis adjusted to atug or strap as above described, any strain on the same will draw the point of the wedge c down under the cylindrical end of the lever A, and thus press the tug firmly against the bottoni of the frame b and prevent the whole of the strain from falling on the pinf. When it is desired to open the buckle, the frame b is pushed slightly toward the clasp C. The clasp C may then be turned up sufticiently to re lieve the end ofthe lever A, which may then be raised up from the frame b. In raising the lever A the cylindrical end h acts as a roller on the wedge c and forces it back, so that it may be easily taken out and adjusted to any described.
