UNITED STATES PATENT ()FFICE.
CHARLES B. I-IOBRON, OF BOERNE, TEXAS.
NECK-YOKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 523,573, dated July 24, 1894.
Application filed March 29, 1894'.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be, it known that I, CHARLES E. HOBRON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boerne, in the county of Kendall and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Neck-Yokes, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a safety attachment for neck yokes which, if the neck yoke or the straps which connect it to the pole or to the collars break, will come into action andprevent the pole from dropping.
In the accompanying drawings illustrating my invention, Figure l is a perspective view of my improvements applied. Fig. 2 is a detail view showing a side elevation of the coupling which connects the safety straps to the pole. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3'-3 of Fig. 2.
The neck yoke or cross pole A, is connected to the vehicle pole B, in the usual way by the coupling 0, which is usually made of leather. Straps D, connect the end of the neck yoke A to the collar or hames in the usual way.
In the construction described, which is the usual constructiomif one or both of the straps D breaks, or the neck yoke A, breaks, the pole will fall and, besides disarranging the draft devices, will frighten the team. I pro- Vide means for preventing the neck yoke or pole from falling, should this part of the harness break. I employ a coupling E, which is applied to thepole B, preferably in rear of the neck yoke. It is made in two parts or sections, as shown in Fig. 3, the sections be- 7 ing flanged at e, and secured together by bolts e. The coupling sections are formed, on
their inner sides, to closely fit and embrace the pole, as indicated in Fig. 3, and'in order to more securely connect the coupling to the pole, and prevent endwise movement thereon, I employ screws F, which pass diagonally Elerial No. 505,631. (No model.)
through the coupling, and a short distance into the pole. The outer ends of the screws are provided with elongated openings or eyes,
f, to which. are connected straps G, which are secured to the collars, the coupling made in sections and applied to the pole near the neckyoke, screws passing through the coupling sections and into the pole'and provided with slotted outer ends which connect with the supplemental straps.
2. The combinationof thepole,theneck-yoke A, the coupling 0 connecting the neck-yoke to the pole, the collars, the straps D, connecting the ends of the neck-yokes to the collars, the coupling E made in two separable parts or sections, flanged at 6, bolts e extending throughthe flanges to removably connect the sections of a coupling, screws'F, extending diagonally through the coupling sections into the pole to secure the coupling thereto, said screws having elongated openingsor eyes f, and straps G, extending through the eyes f and connected with the collars, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
CHARLES E. HOBRONF
