TERRET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Iatent No. 410,812, dated September 10, 1889.

Application filed October 17, 1888- Serial No. 288,352. (No model.)

T0 at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN TOBIAS STOLL, of Sacramento, in the county of Sacramento and State of California, have invented a new and Improved Terret, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to terrets for harness, formed with an opening whereby the strap or line may be inserted edgewise through the opening; and my invention consists in making the terret of usual form in general outline and slotted, the adjacent ends of the members of the ring being in line with each other, as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.

Figure 1 is a front View of one style of my new and improved terret. Fig. 2 shows a modified form without a hasp.

The screw-shank a, plate 19, and post 0 may be of the usual or of any approved construc tion. The ring A is held in the post ain any approved manner, and is formed with an opening or slot d, through which a line or strap maybe passed edgewise. The adjacent ends of the ring may be finished in any suitable manner, but I may round them to facilitate the entrance of the line to the slot. In Fig. l the ends are furnished with the two opposite inner guards or balls 6 e and the two The said .hasp may be pivoted in In Fig. 2 the ring is of fancy design, having slot (1 without a hasp, and the adjacent ends of the ring are formed with enlargements h h, as shown, to act as guards to prevent the strap from casually passing through the slot.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The hereinbefore-described terret, consisting of the screw-shank a, the body portion A, said body portion formed of outwardly and upwardly extending side arms the ends of which extend inwardly toward each other,

the proximate, ends provided with ball-like enlargements, said proximate ends disposed to form a narrow vertical slot d, to admit of the driving-rein being passed edgewise there through, said body portion being of a height slightly greater than the width of the ordinary driving-rein, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. The hereinbefore-described terret, consisting of the screw-shank a, the ring A, having a slot d, the adjacent ends thereof formed with opposite inner guards e e and two outer opposite balls ff, the ball f provided with rib or notch 11, and a hasp or keeper pivoted at one end in the ball f, its opposite end adapted to extend over the ball f and engage the notch i, all arranged substantially as and for the purpose described.

JOHN TOBIAS STOLL.
