CHRISTIAN O. SOHWVANER, OF \VINTERSET, IOIVA.
HALTER-SQUARE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 398,087, dated February 19, 1889.
' Application filed April 16, 1888.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN O. SOHWANER, of Winterset, county of Madison, State of Iowa, have invented or discovered a new and useful Improvement in Halter-Squares; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, concise, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in whichlike letters indicating like parts- Figure 1 shows a portion of a halter made up with my improved square. Fig. 2 shows the portion of the halter as made up With my improved square upon a larger scale, and Fig. 3' is a view of the improved halter-square separate and apart from the halter.
My invention relates to the improvement of that class of devices used in the manufacture of harness which. tend to hold the leather parts securely and snugly in place at the points attached without'permitting them to slide, rub, or chafe either upon the irons to which they are attached or upon other parts of the leather.
The object of my present invention is to furnish an improved halter-square; and it consists in the form of construction hereinafter pointed out and described.
I have tested this improvement by actual use, and find it highly beneficial, as it holds the different parts of the headstall firmly in position and prevents wearing and chafing of the leather, that has heretofore occurred. It is also necessary in the use of the common form of halter-square to stitch up very close to the square in order to hold the strap in place and to keep it from sliding over the corner and lopping down. Thus there is a continual strain on the stitching, causing it sooner or later to give way and letting the nose-band part slide down over the corners of the square. Previous to the use of squares rings were used at the same place, and then, in order to hold the nose-band in place, leather brace-pieces were used, extending diagonally across from the cheek-strap to the nose-band to support the latter.
WVith my improved halter-square it is not necessary either to stitch closely or place rivets close to the bars, as the nose=band will be Serial No. 270,823. (No model.)
held in place by the dividing-bar, as Well as tending to increase the strength of the device and adding to its appearance.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the headstall of a halter, and B the rectangular halter buckle or square, to which is attached the chin-strap a, the cheek-strap a, and the nose-band a In the ordinary haltersquare no division exists within the outer walls or bars forming the square; but in my improvement, as will appear more clearly by reference to Fig. 3, the space within the square is divided into rectangular openings 1), b, and b by means of the inner bars, 0 and 0', parallel with the respective sides of the square, the rectangular opening I) being double the size of the openings b 11 whereby it is adapted to receive the chinstrap a and a bridle-bit attachment on the lower bar of the frame B inclosed by the bar 0. It is apparent that the straps to, a, and a being attached properly, there can be little or no side shifting or slidingan end which will be appreciated by the practical harnessmaker.
In the manufacture of my halter-square I prefer that it should be formed or cast solid, the inner cross-bars, c and 0, being formed integral with the outer bars. The square may also be used to advantage in nose-band bridles, or in any other place Where it is desirable to prevent undue movement or play of the leather straps at the point where they are attached.
I am aware that halter-connections have heretofore been constructed in theform of a ring having a series of radial divisions extending from a common center to the rim of the ring, and forming spaces in which the ends of the respective straps maybe secured; I am also aware that a harness-buckle of rectangular form has been used, through which the lower strap is passed, and to which thesaid strap is riveted; but such construction is not my invention, and I therefore make no claim to the same; but
What I do claim is The halter-buckle herein described, consisting of the rectangular frame 13, having rectangular openings 2) Z) 11 formed by means of a cross-bar, a, connected to the side Walls In testimony whereof I have hereunto set of the frame, and a vertical bar, 0, connected my hand. to the lower Wall of said frame and to the cross-bar c, said opening I) being double the CHRISTIAN SCHWANILR' 5 size of the openings 1) b whereby it is adapted \Vitnesses:
to receive the chin-strap and a bridle-bit at- THOMAS F. MARETIS, tachmeni', substantially as specified. A. E. GOSHORN.
