JAMES J. PINKHAM, OF STILLWVATER, MONTANA TERRITORY.

COMBINED HOOK AND BUCKLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 353,462, dated November 30, 1886,

Application filed August 19, 1886.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J Anus J PINKHAM, of Stillwater, in the county of Yellowstone and Territory of Montana, have invented a new and Improved Combined Hook and Buckle,of which the following is a specification, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, in Which Figure 1 is a frontelevation of my improved combined hook and buckle. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, and Fig. 8 is a perspective view.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple, eheap,and inexpensivecoinbined hook and buckle for use in connection with saddles, harness, binding-chains, 850.

My invention consists of a hook formed of a wire bent into a loop,with its ends bent parallel with each other, then backward toward the loop, and provided at their extremities with eyes for receiving thepintleofthe tongue, and a tongue provided with an eye received on the pintle and arranged to rest on theloop.

The wire of which the main portion of the buckle is made is bent to form an oblong loop, A, with parallel arms aprojecting fIOlll one of the longer sides of the loop, and curved over toward the loop A, and provided at their eX- treinities with eyes I). The tongue B is formed of a wire pointed at one end and provided with an eye, 0, at the opposite end, and the eye 0 of the tongue is placed between the eyes bof the arms a, and the wire 03, forming the pin- Scrial No. 211,279. (No inodeh tle of the buckle, is inserted in the eyes I) and 5 c, and its ends are bent over upon the outer surfaces of'the eyes b,to retain all the parts of the buckle in proper relation with each other. The arms (6,1)(311l3ll'l the manner describedform a double hook for the reception of the link of 40 a chain, a ring, a wire loop or a wire rope, while the tongue B may be used in the same manner as other buckle-tongues for engagement with the strap, a ring, a link of a chain, or a loop in a wire cord or rope.

My improved buckle is useful for applieation to harness and saddles, and for the temporary repairing of straps,chains, and various kinds of rigging.

It is obvious that my improved buckle may 5 be made of cast metal, slightly altering the proportions.

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

A combined hook and buckle made of wire bent to form an oblong loop, A, with arms a pro jecting from one of the longer sidesthereof,bent over toward the loop and provided with eyes I), the'buckle tongue formed by a wire pointed 60 at one end and having an eye, 0, on the oppo; site end, and a wire, d, passing through the eyes b c and bent over upon the eyes I), substantially as shown and described. 7
