HARNESS-LOOP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Application filed July 27, 1885.
hereby declare that the following is a full,
clear, and exact description thereof, which, in connection with the drawings, making a part of this specification, will enable others skilled in the art to which my invention belongs to make and use the same.
My invention relates to a metal loop or attaching device for harnesses. It is designed especially to be used for connecting the breastpiece of a harness with the shoulder-piece, also the breeching of a harness with the hippiece; and it consists in certain novel features of construction of the loop or attaching device, as will be hereinafter fully described, and the nature thereof indicated by the claim.
Referring to the drawings, Figure l is a top or plan view of my improved loop or attaching device. Fig. 2 is a side view looking in the direction of arrow, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 represents the attaching device applied to part of a harness, as will be hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawings, A is the loop or attaching device, cast or made out of metal in one piece, in substantially the form shown, having the two parallel sides a a and the lipb extending along and projecting up from one end, the other end, c,being bent up, as shown, having the two set-offs, d 01, thus forming the loop 6, extending outwardly and upwardly from the main part of the attaching device to allow of a strap passing freely through said loop 6, and supporting the attaching deviceA, as shown in Fig. 3. The top part of the end 0, or the loop 6, is on substantially the same plane with the top of the lip 12. The parts marked B and 0 represent two thicknesses of leather stitched together, forming a part of the breast-piece of a harness, D being the box or shield for receiving the end of the trace or tug, which is not shown in the drawings. E is the lower part. of the shoulder-piece of a harness, attached to the loop A and supporting the breast-piece.
The manner of using my improved harnessloop or attaching device will be readily understood from the above description, in con- Patent No. 329,038, dated October 27; 1885.
Serial No. 172,704. (No model.)
nection with Fig. 3 of the drawings, and is as follows;
The loop A is placed between the two thicknesses of leather B and O, of which a breastpiece of a harness is generally made, the under piece, 0, being shown in the drawings somewhat wider than the length of the loop A. The upper piece, B, is just wide enough to fill the space between the lip b and the setoffs d d, the lower edge resting upon or pressing against the lip Z), which is made of substantially the same height as the thickness of the leather B, and so as not to project above the upper surface or top thereof. The pieces or layers B and G are then stitched together, as shown, thus holding the loop A securely in place, and leaving the part or loop 6 projecting out and extending up from the lower piece or layer of leather,(), so as to permit of the strap or piece of leather E being freely passed between said layer 0 and up through the loop 6, for the purpose of supporting the loop or attaching device A, and the breastpiece or portion of the harness attached thereto, all as shown in Fig. 3.
The value of my improved loop or attach ing device will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art, for by making it in the form shown, having a lip projecting out from its lower end, against which rests the lower edge of the upper layer or thickness of leather, all the strain. and pulling will come against this lip and be removed from the stitches or thread, which simply serve to keep the loop A in place, and for this reason the loop or attaching device cannot be pulled out or become unfastened, even though a number of the threads between the parallel sides a a were broken, as long as there are sufficient threads remaining intact to prevent the two thicknesses of leather from spreading apart sufficiently to allow of the lip or projection 19 being drawn up between them.
I have shown in the drawings a continuous lip or projection, Z); but I do not wish to limit myself to a continuous lip on the lower end of the loop A, as said lower end may be provided with two or more separate lips. or pro jections extending out from one side thereof without departing from the principle of my invention.
I have also shown in the drawings the upper end, a, of the loop A bent up and pro vided with the set-ofls d d, as above described.
I prefer to make my attaching device in this manner, so as to permit of the loop end e being attached in a neater and better way to the supporting strap or piece; but I do not wish to limit myself to having the loop end 6 bent up, as it may be made straight and work very satisfactorily.
My loop or attaching device may be used upon any part of a harness where it is desirable to use it.'
I am aware that it is not broadly new to provide a stay-loop with raised end bars or flanges arranged and used similarly to the bars I) c, hereinbefore described. This,'therefore, I do not broadly claim.
' What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A harness-loop consisting of an open rectzo angular frame having the front and rear bars raised above the level of the side bars, in order that a strap may be received in the space between-the former and above the latter, and sewed through the opening within the frame 25 to another strap below the latter, substantially as set forth.
