CHECK-HOOK FOR HARNESS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 403,351, dated May 14, 1889. A
Application filed April 4, 1888. Serial No. 269,607. (N0 model.)
To @ZZ whom, t may concern.-
Be it known that I, MARY lNGERsoLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Check-Hooks for Harness; 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 appert-ains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to check-hooks for harness; and it consists in certain improvements in the construction thereof, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing by a single igure, which is a side elevation thereof.
A is the check-hook.
Bis a roller or sheave journaled on an axle, b.
C is a safety lock or catch,whioh is pivoted at c at the base of the hook, and acts against an offset,-d, near the point of the hook, and D is a spring which acts upon the lock C.
The object of my invention is, rst, to provide a harness-check hook with a sheave or roller across its span to receive and bear the checkrein, and, second, to provide a harnesscheck hook with a safety-lock, so that the horse cannot, by throwing up his head, unhook the checkrein.
The roller or sheave in the hook, as shown in the drawing, serves to give the rein a pulley-bearing in the hook, so that the rein will move freelyand allow the horse to turn his head from side to side without resistance from the rein, and it prevents wear upon the rein at the point where it is in Contact with the checkhook. l
The safety-catch C is a bar pivoted at c and having its free end in contact with the point of the hook A, and it has a horn, c', to serve as a finger-pull to draw it back for the admission of the rein, as shown by dotted lines. It is immaterial how the spring is applied to the catch. I show in the drawing a flat tonguespring, D; but I do not wish to be confined to any form of spring or manner of applying it.
I am aware that check-hooks have been made heretofore with sheaves and also with safety-catches, as in Patents Nos. 325,613, 254,377, and 148,500, and I do not, therefore, broadly claim these features.
What I claim as new is In a check-hook, the combination of the hook A, sheave B, within said hook, safetybar C, pivoted at the base of said hook and reaching across its mouth, and a spring, D, acting upon said bar near its pivot.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
MARY INGERSOLL. Witnesses:
