HARNESS-LOOP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 468,932, dated February 16, 1892.
Application filed June 6, 1891. Serial No. 395,370. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HENRY H. BAKER, J12, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Harness-Loops, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates more particularly to the metal loops which are attached to the crown-piece of a bridle for the passage of the overdraw check-straps and whereby these straps are guided.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple fastening whereby the loops can be readily and firmly secured to the crown-piece without marring or disfiguring the layer thereof.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a crown-piece with two overdraw check-loops secured thereto. Fig. 2 is a similar section showing the manner of assembling the parts. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the parts in the position shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of a strap having two loops of a slightlymodified form. Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view thereof. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the loops shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. Fig. 7 is a fragmentary cross-section, on an enlarged scale, in line a: m, Fig. 2. Fig. 8 is a fragmentary perspective view of the lockingplate'whereby the loops are secured to the layer.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several figures.
A represents the metallic loops, which are preferably U-shaped in form and each composed of two legs a a and a connecting bow or cross-bar a One leg a of each loop is provided with a flat outwardly-extending foot or lug 1), arranged at right angles to the leg. The other leg a of each loop is provided near its lower end with a contracted neck 0, formed by notching the leg on opposite sides, as more clearly shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
D represents the crown-piece of the bridle, and e the strap or layer of leather, secured to the upper side of the crown-piece by rows of stitching or otherwise. This layer is preferably formed of patent-leather and is provided with openings for receiving the legs of the loops, the layer being formed with a pair of openings for the legs of each loop.
F represents the locking-plate, arranged between the crown-piece D and the layer 6 and whereby the loops are secured to the latter. This plate is provided near opposite ends with longitudinal slots f, each of which has an enlargement g at one end. These enlargements are of sufficient size to receive the legs a a of the loops; but theslots are made so narrow as to receive only the contracted necks of said legs.
In securing the loops to the crown-piece the foot b of one of the loops is passed through one of the openings in the layer e, so that the foot bears flat against the inner side of said layer, and the other leg 0. of the loop is then passed through the adjacent opening of the layer, so that its contracted neck projects on the inner side of the layer. The legs of the other loop are then passed through their openings in the layer in a similar manner. The enlargement of one of the slots of the lockingplate is next passed over the leg -01, of one of the loops until the slot is in line with the contracted neck of the leg, when upon moving the locking-plate lengthwise in the proper direction the contracted neck enters the slot and is confined therein. The enlargement of the opposite slot of the locking-plate is then passed over the leg a" of the other loop by bending or bulging the strap between the loops, as shown in Fig. 2, and the lockingplate is moved lengthwise, as above described, to cause the contracted neck of said leg to enter the slot, after which the layer is stretched to its flat position, as shown in Fig. 1. The legs of the loop having the contracted necks are thus locked in their openings in the layer by the locking-plate, while their other legs are held in the strap by the feet I). The slots in the locking-plate are arranged at such a distance apart or made of such a length that when the plate is normally interlocked with the legs of the two loops the legs with the contracted necks are located at the outer ends of the slots, as shown in the left-hand portion of Fig. 3, thereby holding the locking-plate against lengthwise displacement and pre- I oo Venting its accidental detachment from the loops. After both loops have been fastened to the layer the latter is placed with its inner side against the outer side of the crownpiece and secured thereto by a row of stitches or other means.
The locking-plate is preferably provided at its ends with spurs 71, which penetrate the crown-piece and aid in preventing displacement of the locking-plate after the parts are secured together.
If desired, the lugs or feet I) of the loop may be omitted and both legs of the loop provided with contracted necks, as represented in Figs. 4 and 5. In this case the slots of the locking-plate are made of sufficient length to receive the necks of both legs of each loop, and the locking-plate is interlocked with the loops by engaging one of the slots of the plate with the outer leg of one of the loops and then with the inner leg thereof and then interlocking the other slot of the plate successively with the legs of the other loop in the order just described.
My improved fastening is very simple in construction and requires no separate retaining devices for preventing displacement of the locking-plate, while permitting the loops to be readily attached to the crown-piece without cracking or disfiguring it.
I claim' l 1. The combination, with a pair of harnessloops, each having a leg adapted to pass through an opening in a strap or layer and provided with a contracted neck, of alockingplate adapted to rest against theinner side of the strap or layer and having longitudinal slots in which the contracted necks of the loops engage, and enlargements communicating with the slots which receive the ends of the legs, whereby the legs are held in the openings of the strap by the locking-plate, While the legs hold the locking-plate against lengthwise displacement, substantially as set orth.
2. The combination, with a harness-loop having a leg adapted to pass through an opening in a strap and provided with a contracted neck, of a locking plate adapted to rest against the inner side of the strap and provided with a longitudinal slot having an en largement and with spurs which penetrate the strap and hold the plate against displacement, substantially as set forth.
Witness my hand this 27th day of May, 1891.
