UNiTnD STATES PATENT JOHN IVASHINGTON MITCHELL, OF MACON CITY, MISSOURI.
HARNESS-SADDLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part oi Letters Patent No. 380,451, dated April 3, 1888.
Application filed October 3, 1887. Serial No. 251.343. (N0 model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN WAsHrNeToN lVII'roHELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Macon City, in the county of Macon and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Harness-Saddles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in harness-saddles; and it consistsin the peculiar construction and combination of devices, that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a harness-saddle embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is partly afront elevation and partly a vertical sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional View taken on the line 00 a: of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a irnilgr sectional view taken on the line 3 3;,
A represents the pad-plate, which is bent to conform to the shape of a horses back and is preferably made of metal. To the outer side of this plate, at suitable distances from the ends thereof, are made transverse concave recesses B, at the ends of which are formed studs 0. Said studs are provided with semicircular recesses on their inner opposing sides.
1) represents anti-friction rollers, one of which is arranged in each recess 13 and has its ends journaled in the recesses on the inner sides of studs 0.
E represents a'pair of box-loops, which are made of metal and provided at opposite sides with depending flanges 1 which bear. upon the outer sides of the pad-plate and are re cessed, as at G, to receive the studs 0. These box-loops thus cover the studs and the antifriction rollers, and are secured to the padplate by means of screws H.
1 represents the terrets or rings through which the reins are passed, the said terrets being secured to the box-loops by having their inner ends threaded and engaging threaded openings in the box loops, as shown.
On the upper side of the pad-plate, at the center thereof, is secured a metallic casting or saddle, K, which is provided on its front end with a hook, L, for the attachmentof the checkrein. A longitudinal slot, M, is formed in the central portion of the saddle and extends transversely over the top of the pad-plate.
N represents an anti-friction roller which is arranged over the slot and has its ends journaled in openings formed at the ends of the slot.
0 represents the tug-strap, which passes over the roller N and has its ends passed through and guided in the box-loops E and passed over the rollers D. The usual loops are secured to the ends of the tug-strap to receive and support the shafts or thills. As the tugstrap bears upon the anti-friction rollers, it is free to move endwise over the same, thus permitting the shafts or thills to remain relatively stationary while the horse is in motion and preventing the lateral or swinging motion of the horses back from wabbling the shafts or thills from side to side, as will be very readily understood. As the tug-strap is thus adapted to play freely over the pad-plate, the saddle is not moved laterally on the horses back by the swaying motion of the shafts, and the saddle is thereby prevented from galling and chat ing the back of the animal.
Having thus described my invention, I c1aim- 1. Theharness-saddle herein described, provided with anti-friction rollers arranged transversely thereon in transverse slots in the padplate and mounted in studs integral with said plate, and guides or box-loops having depending flanges which bear upon the pad-plate and are recessed to receive the studs, substantially as described. 1
2. In a harness-saddle, the combination of the pad-plate having the transverse recesses B in its outer side and the studs 0 at the ends of the said recesses with the rollers D, journaled in the said studs, and the box-loops E, secured on the pad-plate and arranged over the studs C, substantially as described.
3. The combination of the pad plate, the saddle or casting K, secured thereon and provided with a longitudinal slot in its central portion, and the roller N, jourualed in the said slot of the saddle or casting K, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
4. The harness-saddle herein described, com
prisinga pad-plate provided near its ends with transverse concave slots and studs at their ends integral with the pad-plate, rollers journaled in bearings formed by the studs, borrloops arranged over the rollers and provided with depending flanges bearing upon the pad-plate having theterrets or rings for the reins, and the and recessed to receive the studs, the said boxtug-strap passing over the plate A and through loops carrying the loops-for the reins, the sadthe box-loops over the rollers, substantially as dle or casting secured upon the upper side of described. I5 5 the plate at the center thereof and provided In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my With a longitudinal slot, and a roller-journal own I have hereto affixed my signature in presin the saddle or casting, substantially as'deen'ce of two witnesses.
scribed. J OHN WASHINGTON MITCHELL.
