.HARNESS-SADDLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 401,134, dated April 9, 1889.
Application filed December 22, 1888. Serial No. 294,379- (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, J OHN \V. CLARK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jackson, in the county of Hinds and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness and Plow Saddles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in harness-saddles; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the same whereby the saddle can be adjusted to span the back of an animal, thus elevating a backband above the backbone of the horse, for which purpose this device is designed; but it can be used as an ordinary cart or wagon saddle, if so desired, all as will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claim.
The annexed drawings, to which reference is made, fully illustrate my invention, in which Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved saddle. Fig. 2 is a vertical crosssectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view, and Figs. 4 and 5 are detail views.
Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A A designate the saddle, consisting of twin sections a a, composed of the blocks 1) b, which are convened on their under side, as at c c, to each of which are secured two arms, (1 d, in the outer ends of which are formed eyes 6 e and an offset or shoulder, f f. These arms are pivoted together by a screw, g g, passing through the eyes, and are held in place by a nut, 72, on each pivoted arm. On the inner face of the arms (1 (1, about the eye therein, is a series of depressions, If, either of which is adapted to receive a pin, z", on the adjacent face on the opposite arm, (7, which, when the saddle is adjusted, prevents the two sections a. a from displacement.
lt will be observed that in adjusting the saddle to an animals back the nuts are first loosened and the arms are drawn slightly apart, thus separating them, and at the same time withdrawing the pins from the depressions, after which the sections are widened or narrowed, as the case may be, and the pins are again inserted in one of the depressions in each arm and the nuts screwed home. Thus it will be seen that the saddle can be firmly held at any desired position, causing it to fit any animals back, whether a large or small horse, thus raising the back-band of a plow-harness clear of the backbone, and causing the pressure to come on each side of the spinal cords and preventing injury thereto, and it is simple in operation, easily and quickly adjusted, and at the same time cheap to manufacture.
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a harness-saddle, the arms (Z (1', provided with the pads Z) I), and central perforations, c e, and depressions '1? on the inner face thereof, the arms (Z (1-, having a corresponding central opening and provided with the pin adapted to engage one of the depressions, whereby the twin sections are held in position, and the bolt 9 and nut 71 for securing the meeting ends of the arms together, as shown and described.
In testimony whercof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
