HORACE E. LEEMAN, OF LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOSEPH II. COCHEY AND JOHN D. DENNIS, BOTH OF SAME PLACE.
WHIP-SOCKET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 462,493, dated November 3, 1891.
Application filed January 15,1891. Serial No. 377,930. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HORACE E. LEEMAN, of Lynn, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in \Vhip-Sockets, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object to enable a whip-socket for use on acarriage to be made from sheet metal, including spring-fingers adapted to yieldingly grasp the butt or handle of a whip and an inclosing case outside of said fingers formed to support or be engaged with the attaching devices which secure the socket to the dasher or other part of the carriage, leaving the springs entirely free to act upon the whip.
The invention consists in the improvements which I will now proceed to describe and claim.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a whip-socket embodying one form of my invention. I Fig. 2 represents a plan View of the sheet-metal blank used in making the socket shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a longitudinal section of another form of whip-socket embodying my invention. Fig. at represents a plan view of the blank used in constructing the socket shown in .Fig. Fig.5 represents an end View of the socket shown in Fig.
The same letters and numerals of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.
In carrying out my invention I make from sheet metal, and preferably from a single piece of sheet metal, a whip-socket which comprises a series of elastic tongues or fingers Z) Z) and an inclosing case or guard or a, arranged outside of the acting ends of said fingers. the fingers being adapted to grasp the handle or butt of a whip and yieldingly hold the same, while the casing a is adapted to support the clips, straps, or other devices which may be used to attach the socket to the dasher of a carriage, said casing being arranged so that such attaching devices cannot bear upon or interfere with the action of the operative parts of the spring-fingers.
In the construct-ion shown in Fig. 1 a Hat sheet or blank of sheet metal of the form shown in Fig. 2 is employed, said blank comprising a solid or ilnperforate portion 2, which includes one end of the blank, the fingers which are cut from the body of the blank along two of their sides and at one end, leaving said fingers integral with the blank at their roots or inner ends, the parallel bars or strips 3 3, between which the tongues Z] are formed, the cross-bar 4, which connects the parallel bars 3 at one end of the blank, and
the tongues 5 5 5, which project from the other end of the blank.
In forming the socket the blank is bentinto cylindrical form and its edges secured together in anysuitable way to form a cylinder,
the tongues 5 5 are bent inwardly, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1, to form a bottom or support for the end of the whip-stock, and the tongues 12 l) are bent inwardly at their free ends to enable them to grasp the whip.
This inward bending of the tongues brings their operative or whip-grasping portions within the diameter of the cylinder formed by bending the blank, so that said tongues are practically inside of the casing a, which in this form consists of the imperforate end 2 of the blank, the parallel bars a a, and the connecting cross-bar at. It will be seen, therefore, that the straps, loops, or other connecting devices which are used to secure the socket to the dasher of acarriage bear entirely upon the casing a and do not affect the operation of the tongues Z), said tongues or the operative portions thereof being entirely within the portion of the socket which is grasped by the attaching devices.
In the socket shown in Fig. 3 the blank from which the same is made has an imperforate portion 6 much longer than the imperforate portion 2 of the blank first described,
said portion 6 being of sufficient length to 9o In forming the blank shown in Fig. 4 into Between the 5 a cylindrical form and its edges suitably Se cured together It will be seen that in this form, as Well as in that shown in Fig. l, the spring-fingers are inclosed in a casing which supports the attaching devices and leaves the fingers entirely free.
In both of the above-described forms of the' socket I prefer to form peripheral beads d d r on the exterior of the socket to bear against the straps orloops which secure the socket to the dasher. Said beads are preferably formed on the blanks before the latter are bent into shape. The casing or closed portion of the socket is preferably provided with an inwardly-proecting flange or lip 1, which projects inwardly over the free ends of the fingers b to a sufficient extent to prevent the whip from strikin; and injuring the free end of eitherof the fingers when it is being inserted in the socket. It will be seen that the described socket is adapted to be very economically manufactured and constitutes a durable and efficient device for holding a whip.
I claim- 7 The improved whip-socket composed of a single piece of sheet metal cut to form a series of elongated whip-grasping tongues and shorter butt-supporting tongues, said sheet being bent into cylindrical form and having its elongated tongues extended substantially lengthwise of the cylinder and curved inwardly at their free ends to yieldingly grasp the sides of the whip and its shorter tongues bent inwardly at right angles with the cylinder to support the butt-end of the Whip, the mouth of'the cylinder having an inwardlyprojecting flange or lip 1, integral with the cylinder and arranged to protect the free ends of the elongated springs, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 9th day of J anuary, A. D. 1801.
HORACE E. LEEMAN.
