HARNESSUROSETTE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letter To all whom t 11i/ity concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE ZAHN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State oi' New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness-Rosettes; and I do hereby declare the following to he a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to 'maire and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specication.

The object of thisinvention is to reduce the cost of construction and to provide a rosette of increased strength, and one better adapted to resist indentation.

rlhe invention consists in the improved harness-rosette constructed and the parts thereof arranged and combined substantially as will he hereinafter set forth, and finally be embodied in the clauses of the claim.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like ietters indicate corresponding parts in each of the several figures, Figures l and 2 are front or face plans of the im proved device. Fig. 3 is a plan of the back thereof. 4 is a sectional view taken through line it, Fig. l. Eig. 5 isa view showing the loop and a body-plate in detail, andA Fig. 6 illustrates a. modification.

In said drawings, a indicates a body-plate of heavy and cheap sheet inetal-such as iron-in which indentations producing the desired design are struck by suitable dies.

b is an outer coveringplate of a better or more ornamental metal or materialsuch as brass-and one thinner than the body-plate, to more perfectly partake of the desired de sign. This is struck up in the same dies as the body-plate, so that when the two are placed together the indent-ations and projections of the two plates coincide, and the outer plate has a close bearingover its whole surface on the inner and stronger plate, whereby the outer plate, though of very thin metal, and though it has raised ornaments on its surface, cannot easily be indented or bent, and thus injured.

s Patent No. 339,510, dated April 6, 1886.

Application [iled December 30, 1SE5. Serial No. 157,121. (No model.)

The outer plate is made of larger diameter than the body-plate, so that the edges of the former may be bent or turned under the edges of said body-plate, so that the two plates are held rinly together.

To the body-plate is attached the loop c, and to prevent the same from working loose and from separating the two plates, so that they do not have the close relation described, I form in the body-plates rivet-holes e e, which are reamed out, as shown, and on the ends of the loop shoulders d d, which limit the insertion of said ends in said holes. Said ends being inserted in the holes, the same are riveted, the laterally'projecting metal of the extremities then entering the reaxned-out portions of the holes, as will be understood. Then riveted,the parts a c are held firmly together, and the effect of the riveting is not apparent from the outside.

I am aware that a button has been shown and described in Patent No. 262,347, of August 8, 1882, having its face surface ornaniented with concaved ligurescontainingalining of metallic leaf held ltherein by atmospheric pressure, but said construction differs materially from my improvement, in that the latter is of heavier metal, which covers the under plate, entirely concealing it from view, and h as its edges turned under, so that the edges of the untinished under plate are hidden, and the two plates are securely fastened together.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is l. The improved bridle-rosette consisting, essentially, of two metallic plates correspondingly indented or impressed with the design or ornament, the inner plate having a loop secured thereto and lying against the outer plate to re-enforce the same, and the outer plate having its edges turned over those of the inner plate to conceal the latter and bind the parts together.

2. The improved harness-rosette herein described, combining therein an inner metallic body-plate having perfor-ations therein to receive the loop,- and having said loop secured therein, the ends of said loop lying flush with or not projecting beyond the front face of said IOC) body-plate,to allow said plate to lie face bo ln testimony that I claim the foregoing I` fece with a covering-plate, and said covering have hereunto set my hand this 23d day of of thinner metal having its edges turned over December, 1885. those of the body-plate, the two plates being 5 correspondingly indented, all seid parts being Vitnesses:

arranged and combined substantially as and CHARLES H. PELL, for the purposes set forth. FREDK. F. CAMPBELL.

GEORGE ZAHN.
