PATENT DAVID M. STUART, OF TRAER, IOVA.

HALTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 383,836, dated May 29, 1888.

Application filed January 10. 1B88. Serial No. 260,298. (No model.)

5 ofIowa,have invented anew and useful Halter,

of which the following is a specification.

My invention has relation to improvements in halters of that class composed partially of rope and partially of leatherstraps.

Io The object of my invention is to provide a halter which is of the simplest construction, and which combines with its simplicity durability and convenience.

My invention consists in the novel construc- 15 tion and combination of the parts, and.V the novelty thereof I have hereinafter specifically pointed out in the claim, as required by law.

I have fullyillustrated my improved halter in the accompanying drawings, whereinzo Figure l is a View of the halter applied to a horses head. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the halter. Fig. 3 is a view ofthe clampingplate used as a means for securing the leather straps to the rope strands used as part of the 2 5 halter.

Reference being had to the drawings, A des ignates the headstrap, which is composed of two parts, 1 2, united to the rope section or part by means of the clampingplate 3.

3o B designates the rope part, which consists of a single strand of rope of sufficient strength to answer the purpose intended. This rope is formed into a loop or doubled, as at 4, with the hitching-ring arranged over the rope and in The strands are then passed through the ends ofthe head-strap, and thence through the ends of the nose-strap C, and carried in opposite direction through the hitching-ring G, and the ends brought back 4o and passed through the ends of the nose'strap,

where they are securely clamped, as hereinafter specified.

On that part of the halter-ropes comprising the throat-strap may be arranged a small 45 keeper or ring, 7, by which the spread of the ropes at that point may be regulated.

In Fig. 3 I have shown the clampingplate, which is used as a means for securing the ends of the head and nose straps to the rope part of the halter. a plate or cross-piece, 3, from which are projected two arms, 9. In the middle of the plate is a perforation, 10, through which the rivet is projected, which holds the plate to the strap and the lap of the strap together. This clampingplate is applied as follows: After adjusting the end oi' the strap around the rope a rivet, ll, is xed through the plate and strap, and these parts thus secured together. Then the arms or extensions ofthe plate are tightly coiled around the rope at each side ofthe straps, substantially as shown.

It will be observed that the space between the arms ofthe clamping-plate is Wide enough to admit the strap between them, so that when the arms are clamped about the ropes they rest against the edges of the strap and entirely on the rope, thus preventing the strap from slipping out of position.

The head-strap may consist ot" two parts adjustably connected by means of a buckle, as shown.

What I claim is The combination, with the headstrap A and the nose-strap G, ofthe rope B, formed into a loop, 4, and provided with a bitching-rope, G, the strands of said rope being carried th rough sleeves in the ends of the head and nose straps, and then passed, respectively, through the htchingring, with the ends in the sleeve of the nose-strap, and clamping-plates 3, secured in the ends of the head and nose straps and formed with arms 9, to embrace the rope on each side of the straps, substantially as described.

In witncss whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two attesting witn nesses.
