GODFRIED LAUBE, OF HURON, SOUTH DAKOTA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO A. VANDENBURG, OF SAME PLACE.
TRACE-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 572,487, dated December 1, 1896.
' Application filed September 9, 1896. Serial No. 605,246. (No model.)
T0 on whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GODFRIED LAUBE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Huron, in the county of Beadle and State of South Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Trace-Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The object of this invention is to produce an improved trace-holder which will prove a safe means forholding the trace in engagement with the singletree ends, providing means also whereby a disengagement of the retaining device may be readily accomplished. Furthermore, the object of the invention is to make the retaining device in a manner to prevent the rattling of the parts when rough roads are encountered.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and specifically claimed.
In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of the specification, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several views, in which- Figures 1, 2, and 3 are views in perspective showing my improved trace-retainer applied to a singletree, the several views illustrating varying forms of ends. Fig. 4 is a plan view of another form of spring by which the retaining-arm is held in engagement with the eye.
In the accompanying drawings, 1 indicates the singletree, 2 the ends thereof, and 3 the traces to be applied to the ends.
The. arm 3 is pivoted to a combined support for the pivotal pin and catch for the holding-arm. This device consists in a piece of resilient metal blanked to produce extensions 4, curved slightly, with the ends so beveled that they will engage and hold the arm when in the position illustrated in the drawings. The base portion is provided with apertures for the screws 5, by which it is attached to the singletree. The extensions converge at their lower edge and rest on the arm at each side of the center so that they will spread as the arm is elevated on its pivotal pin 6.
The outer end of the arm, as shown in Fig.
1, is bent to produce a finger-hold by the loop,
7 and the loop 8, this latter serving also to prevent the trace from slipping toward the center. The end of the arm is bent at right angles and enters the eye formed in the singletree.
In Fig. 2 the sin gletree is grooved to receive the trace, and the large loop 8 acts as a fingergrip, extends over the trace, and the exten sion or end enters the eye of the singletree, as before explained.
In Fig. 3 the arm is adapted for engagement with a metallic end for the singletree, and is similar in construction to that shown and described in connection with Fig. -1.
In Fig. 4c the arm is pivoted'as before, but instead of having two extensions one is here shown, consisting of an extension having a laterallycurved end 9, the lower edge of the enlarged portion engaging the arm, such exgagement being broken when the extension is moved laterally, by which it difiers from the former construction in that by the other forms the edges of the extension will not ride over the curved surface of the arms as they are elevated.
In view of these varying forms it Will be apparent that various changes might be made in the proportions and other details of construction without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having fully described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a device of the character described, a piece of sheet metal bent to form a housing, ears formed with said housing for attachment to a singletree, an arm pivoted to said housing, said arm being bent to form a loop and having its end bent at right angles to the body,curved extensions formed with the housin g, said extensions being beveled along their lower edges, as and for the purpose described.
2. A trace-holder consisting of a piece of sheet metal bent to form a housing, cars formed with said housing for attachment with In testimony whereof I affix my signature the singletree, an arm pivoted in said honsin presence of two Witnesses.
ing, said arm having its outer end bent at right angles to the body, an extension formed GODFRIED LAUBE. 5 with said housing, said extension having a WVitnesses:
curved end to engage said arm and hold it in ANNIE T. LAUBE,
a closed position, substantially as described. HATTIE ROSE LAUBE.
