CHARLES M. WELCH, oF SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI.
DEVICE FOR DETACIHING HORSES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 509,010, dated November 21, 1893..
Application filed August 9, 1892. Serial No. 442,625. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES M. WELCH, a citizen ofthe United States,residing at Springfield, in the county of Greene and State `of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Releasing Horses from Vehicles; and I do hereby'declare the following to be a full, clear, and eX- act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in devices for detaching horses from vehicles, the object of which is to provide a cheap, simple, durable and convenient device for freeing horses from vehicles when they become f unmanageable.` These objects I attain by means of the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming a part of the specitication in whichk Figure l, is a view in elevation of the entire devices. Fig. 2, is a longitudinal vertical section of the tongue across the center of the whiftletree. Fig. 3, is a detail view of the catch that holds the plate to which the whifetrees are secured in place. Fig. 4, is a detail view showing one of the studs for holding the tug on the end of the single-tree.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre' sponding parts in the several figures.
A, is the tongue of any ordinary vehicle to'k which isA secured on its top side a plate B, by any suitable means preferably by means of bolts or screws L. Said yplate is provided with an opening B to secure the projection C in the plate C, which is hinged to the plate B, at its front end B2 or at the end farthest from the vehicle and the other end of the plate B is provided with any suitable catch H, which is secured to the plate B, so as to allow it to swing back and forth in order to allow the end of the plate C to fit down closely upon the plate B Then the swinging catch H- presses upon the top of plate C and is 'secured to it byA any suitable means; preferably by means of a knuckle joint, and also `clasp is provided with an opening Gr, to receive a boltK, which is made to pass down through the opening G, kthen' through the .doilble-whifleftree and intorthe opening C6,
in the lower part of the plate O. Plate C, is also provided with a notch C4, in its top 'side to receive the catch H, and a projection C5, to enter the opening H2, in the catch H.
D, is any ordinary double-whifde-tree and is made to pass under the clasp C2, and over the plate C, and is securedin place as shown. The singletree used is secured to the doubletree by means of a clasp passing over the single-tree and under the double-tree and by having a bolt pass down through the double-tree and single-tree and the inner end of the single-tree is preferably bound with a strap to pass over the inner end of the singletree and under the double-tree thus preventing the single-tree from getting at right-angles with the double-tree. Y
The stud M, used on the end of the singletree may be of any'suitable material and shape, preferably of iron and is preferably made so that as the tug, is hitched, the end Msof the stud M, will form al right angle with 4the single-tree and project a little above the top sideV of the single-tree. Said stud M is preferably provided with a part M2, which is attached to the shank of the stud and projects out forming the arc of a circle resem` bling an auger so that the outer end of the projection M2, will be even with the outer end of the part of the stud M3, and in front and above it so that as the tug is hitched, the tug passes over the stud M?, and inside of the front part projection M2, in frontof the singletree and outside of the part of the projection M2, which extends behind the 'single-tree, so that as the single-tree is thrown forward and describing one-fourth of the arc of a circle the projecting part of the Stud M3, will be turned `forward and the augershaped projec- IOO tion M2, will throw the tug off of the stud M3,
by means of the backend of the tug pressing against the outer surface of projection M2, thus throwing it off of the stud M3. Then the catch H, is tripped which permits the Whitfietree to ttl-rn'forWard/in plate C.
I claim- The combination with awhifttetree hook M, having projections M2, M3, for holding and freeing a tug; of an ordinary tug a pivoted plate C; a catch H; and an attached tripping
