OF JEANERETTE, LOUISIANA.
ADJUSTABLE RACK-SADDLE BRIDGE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 556,668, dated March 1'7, 1896.
Application filed October 12, 1895. filerial No. 565,494. (No model.)
To 60% whom it may concern:
Be it known that LGABRIEL FRANQOIS Fon- TIER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jeanerette, in the parish of Iberia and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Pack- Saddle Bridges; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact 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 pack-saddles for carts; and it consists of certain novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is had to the accompanying drawlugs, in which the same parts are indicated by the same letters throughout the several views.
Figure 1 represents a rear view of my improved pack-saddle with the girth or belly band attached. Fig. 2 represents a plan view of the pack-sadd1e. Fig. 3 represents a vertical section made by the plane 3 3' of Fig. 2. Fig. at represents a side elevation of the metal socket-plate which is secured to the saddletree. Fig. 5 represents a central vertical section through the device shown in Fig. 4, and
} Fig. (5 represents a plan view of the device shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
A represents a curved metal plate or oastin g having the base a with side ribs a, over which the chain from the shaft passes. This plate A may be either rolled or cast, as preferred. The said plate is provided with legs a terminating in rounded feet perforated, as at a to receive the pin B.
G represents the wooden saddletree, which is rounded, as at c, on the lower edge thereof and sloped upward, as at c, to approximately fit the back of the cart-horse. This tree is provided on its back with a socket-plate D, having rivet-holes d by means of which it may be secured to the back of the tree, as shown most clearly in Fig. 3. The sides (Z of this socketplate are in the form of vertical webs or flanges, as shown, while spanning these webs are the ribs cl, separated from each other by the curved recesses (1 adapted to receive the foot of the legs a Concentric with these recesses are the bolt-holes d forthe pin or bolt B. There are two or more of these recesses d to enable the saddletrees to be raised or lowered and thus to be adjusted to fit the backs of different animals. The bolt-holes in one side of the socket-plate D are preferably made square, as shown at (1 to receive the squared head of the bolt B, whereby the said bolt is kept from turning, while the opposite hole (i is made round. (Sec Figs. L and The saddletree' C may be either padded, or the pads may be thrown on the back of the horse separate from the trees.
F represents the girth or belly-band, which extends under the belly of the animal and is fastened to the short strap F on the opposite side in any convenient way, as by means of the buckle f.
It will be seen that I have provided an exceedingly cheap, simple, and durable packsaddle, which may be readily adjusted to the back of almost any horse or other animal.'
It will be obvious that various modifications of the hereirrdescribed saddle might be made which could be used without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
A cart-saddle comprising a curved channeled plate A, having vertical sides a, and rounded base a, with legs a? rounded and perforated near the base thereof, of socket-plates D, provided with a plurality of curved socket-s (1 to receive the rounded ends of the legs (1?, with side webs d, perforated concentric with said sockets, pins passing through said perforations and holding said legs in said recesses, and curved saddletrees rigidly attached to the base of said socket-plates, and approximately fitting the back of the cart-horse, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GABRIEL FRANCOIS FORTIER.
