JOHN D. -JOHNSON AND JONATHAN B. AWILLISON, OF VAYNESBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
SAFETY-STI RRU P.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 459,291, dated September 8, 1891.
Application tiled May 6, 1891.
T0 all whom it may concern..-
Be it known that we, JOHN D. JOHNSON and JONATHAN B.'WILL1soN, citizens of the United States, residing at Vaynesburg,'in the county of Greene and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Safety- Stirrup, of which. the following is a speciication.
This invention relates to improvements in stirrups; and the objects in view are to provide a stirrup of cheap and simple construction adapted to readily swing to accommodate the positions of the riders feet, whether lateral or vertical, and also to be so constructed as to avoid danger of the feet of the rider becoming entangled with the stirrup should the rider be thrown or in any way dismounted.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the following description, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of a stirrup constructed in accordance with our invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the foot-plate removed. Fig. 3 is a detail of the foot plate or rest. Fig. 4 is a transverse section. Fig. 5 is a vertical longitudinal section. Y
Like numerals of reference indicate like parts in all the figures ofthe drawings.
In practicing our invention we provide a curved hanger 1, flared toward its lower end and provided upon its outer face at its opposite lower corners with a pair of lugs 2, laterally disposed. At its upper end the hanger is forwardly disposed and perforated, asat 3, and swiveled therein is a suspension-eye 4 to which the stirrup-straps are connected. From the hanger 1 at a point between and slightlyv above the lugs or stops 2 there extends a conical bearing-pin 5, the outer end of which is provided with a threaded opening 6.
7 designates a foot plate or rest, which is provided upon its under side at its ends with perforated bearing-lugs 8 and 9, the latter being larger than the former and the two mounted upon the bearing-pin 5. At each side of the perforated lug 9 are located depending stops 10, so that said foot plate or rest is free to oscillate upon the pin in a vertical manner until its movements are arrested Serial No. 391,786. (No model.)
by said stops 10 coming in contact with the stop-lugs 2 of the hanger. A washer 11 is located at the outer end of the pin and prevents the accidental removal of the foot-plate, said washer being held in position bya screw 12, passed therethrough and into the threaded perforation 6 of the bearing-pin.
In operation the foot being upon the stird rup is retained from lateral movement or slipping oif by means of the hanger 1 at one side and at the opposite side by a small vertical iiange 13, located at the outer end of the footplate. It will be obvious that by reason of the hanger being swiveled to the eye the. stirrup is free to turn laterally, so that the riders toes may be turned in lor out, and also by reason of the foot-rest being mounted loosely upon the bearing-pin it is adapted to rock with the rise and fall of the body of the rider and the consequent movements of his feet.
From the above it will be obvious that we have provided an exceedingly cheap and simple stirrup, capable of giving great satisfaction and comfort to the rider, and one so constructed that it is impossible for the foot to bec-ome entangled therewith and the rider thus dragged and injured after being thrown or'dismounted in any way.
Having described our invention, what we claim is- 1. The herein-described stirrup, the 'same consisting of a depending hanger terminating at its 'lower end in a lateral bearing and at opposite sides of said bearing provided with stops, and the footrest or plate provided upon its under side with bearing perforations for receiving the bearing of the hanger and Yadapted to abut against the stops, substantially as specified.
2. The herein-described stirrup, consisting of a curved hanger provided at its lower end and upon its inner side with a laterally-disposed bearing conical pin and at each side of and below the same with stop-lugs, said pin terminating in an internally-threaded bore, and the foot rest or plate provided upon its under side at its ends with depending bearings for receiving the pin of the hanger and at its outer end in a ange, the washer located at the outer end of the bearing-pin and the screw passed through the washer and IOG nt) the end of the pin, substantially as speci- 3. The herein-described stirrup, consist-ing of a curved hanger, the upper end of which 3' terminates in a vertical perforation, an eye for suspending J[he stirrup swveled therein and adapted to be connected to a stirrupstrap, a bearing-pin disposed transversely from and secured to the lower face of the Io hanger, and a foot plate or rest mounted for Vertical pivotal movement upon the pin, substantially as specified.
In testimony that We claim the foregoing as our own We have hereto affixed our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
