CLAUD C. WHEELER, OF FAIRMONT, WEST`VIRGINIA.
4HORSE CHECKING OR UNCHECKING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 528,577, dated November 6, 1894. Application led September 1,1894. Serial No. 521,887. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLAUD C. WHEELER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fairmont, in the county of Marion, State of West Virginia, havevinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Checking or Unchecking Devices, of which the following is a speciication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The objects of this invention are to furnish simple devices by which a horse may be reined up or unreined without the necessity of his driver getting out of the vehicle; and the in- Vention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents in side view the upper portion of a horse partly harnessed and provided with a check rein connected with his saddle in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a pervices detached from the saddle and from the check rein. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal Vertical section of the main portion of said devices.
In said drawings, A represents a harness saddle of any suitable form to which is attached the crupper strap a. The driving reins B pass through the terrets of the saddle as usual. v
When my checking and unchecking device is to be used while the horse is driven, the check rein C is not placed within the loop of the check-hook D, but is placed in engagement with one end of a small strap E, prefersnap hook F, Fig. 2, or within the hookedend of a plain hook F2, Fig. 3, secured to said end of the strap E, but the lower or inner end d of the hook D is used to latch the strap E to the saddle while the horse is traveling. For this purpose the checking lever or hook D is placed between two lugs g projecting upward from the front end of a substantially rectangular hollow frame G and is pivoted to said lugs at g2. Within the frame G there is a strap E, the latter resting upon the bottom or licor of said opening. Projecting from the central portion of the bottom of the frame G there is a bolt h by means of which and of the nut h2 upon said bolt, the frame G is secured to the frame of the saddle A.
To keep the lower end d of the hook D normally pressed upon the strap F, although the weight of its upper rear end will generally accomplish the object, one end of a flat spring" k is made to bear upon the top of said end d. The opposite end of said spring is secured at 6o k2 to the top or ceiling of the opening gsin the frame G. To keep the lower end d of the hook D normally in engagement with the strap E, the latter has secured upon its top by means of rivets m2 a small plate mhaving across its 65 top a vertical shoulder for engagement with the end CZ of the hook.
To permit the driver of the vehicle to uncheck the horse when he reaches a water trough or a pasture, by means of his whip, that 7o generally has an enlargement or a knot at the point where the lash is attached to the end of the whip stock, the back point of the hook D is slotted at cl2 and has two branches d3 bent forward and outwardly to form slots d4 in 7 5` which the driver can easily insert the end of his whip, and when in engagement therein, lift said back points of the hook D and release the end d from engagement with the shoulder on the plate m of the strap E. The 8o horse promptlyfeeling the release of his check rein, will extend his neck forward andv downward, and draw the strap E through the opening gs of the frame G until the front end of a plate N secured on top of the rear portion of 8 5 said strap E arrests it. To the rear end of the plate N is secureda hook 'n that/projects upward and forward to receive and enter into engagement with the whip of the driver when the latter inserts it Within said hook to draw 9o the strap E backward again to latch the check rein at the same time'that he pulls steadily upon the driving reins B to elevate, the head of the horse. The plate N not only forms at one end a stop against the point d of the hook D and at the opposite end retains the hook fn., but it causes the strap E to be rigid; and when it has entered the opening g3 it always presents the hook n in an upward Vposition for the easy reception of the end of the whip of roo the driver.
When the horse is checked the rear end of the strap E can be left hanging down upon the back of the horse as shown in full lines in Fig. 1, but said' end of the strap is provided on the under side with a keeper that may be of wire as shown at e to receive loosely the crupper strap a and occupy a position as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1.
It is evident that the hook D can be slightly modified in appearance and ornamented on top without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having now fully described my invention, I claim- 1. In a checking and nnchecking device the combination of a harness saddle, a chambered frame G secured thereto, and a lever D pivoted to its front end and having its lower end within said frame and its upper endprovided with a branch cl3 on one side thereof, with a strap E having a shouldered plate m secured tothe top of its front portion substantially as described.
2. In a checking and uncheckin g device the combination yof a harness saddle, a chambered frame G secured thereto, a leverD pivoted to itsfrontend and having its lower end withinjsaid frame, and a spring 7c having one end secured to said frame and the opposite endpressing upon said lower end of the lever D, with a strap E having a shouldered plate m secured to the top of its front portion substantially as described.
3. In a checking and unchecking device the combination of a harness saddle, a chambered frame G secured thereto, a lever D pivoted to its front endand having its lower end cl within said frame,with a strap E having a shouldered plate m secured to the top of its front portion, and a plate N having a hook n and secured to the top of the rear portion of said strap substantially as described.
4. In a checking andunchecking device the combination of a harness saddle, a chambered frame secured thereto, a lever D pivoted to its front end and having its lower end cl within said frame,witha strap E havinga shouldered plate mseeured to the top of its front portion, a plate N having "a hook n and securedto the topof the rear portion of saidstiap and a loop "e secured to said strap in therear of the plate N` substantially as described. i
