W. P. GELABERT, I HOOK FOR HAME TUGS. No. 580,212.
Patented Apr. 6, 1897.
wi/mo/am UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
\VILLIAM PETER GELABERT, OF SWEET SPRINGS, MISSOURI, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-FOURTH TO THOMAS CAMERON CRENSHATV, OF LEXINGTON, MIS- SOURI.
HOOK FOR HAME-TUGS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 580,212, dated April 6, 1897.
Application filed September 17, 1896. Serial No. 606,077. (No model.)
T0 all whom, it ntay concern:
Be it known that I, W'ILLIAM PETER GELA- BERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sweet Springs, in the county of Saline and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hooks for Hame- Tugs; and I do 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to hame-tugs-more particularly to hooks constructed to be attached to hame-tugs, whereby the latter may be connected with the hames of a set of harness.
The object of my invention is the production of a compound hook that will distribute the wear evenly upon the hame staples or rings and not abrade them in one place, a fault common to most of the hame-clips now in use. Nearly all the hooks employed at present with which I am familiar cause the entire strain of drawing the vehicle to fall upon one point of the hame-staple, which is thus exposed to extraordinary wear and soon unfitted for further service.
By the use of my invention the life of the staple is greatly increased,with the additional advantages in favor of my compound hook that it is cheaper, more durable, reliable, and easier to attach and detach or replace than the ordinary hooks found upon harness for horses at this time.
Each constituent element of my invention is described in detail, and its office, together with the mode of operation of the whole, fully explained hereinafter.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein like letters are used to designate like parts throughout both views, Figure l represents a breadthwise view of my invention attached to a hame tug or trace and connected with a hame by a suitable link. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of the invention detached and alone.
Considering Fig. 2, A designates the flat straight shank portion of my compound hook, having rivet-holes a a. As ordinarily arranged the portion A is inserted between the upper and lower leather leaves of the tug or trace in order that no hard-metal surface shall be exposed and injure the horse-collar by rubbing against it. Passing from the shankportion A toward the hook end of my invention, B marks an upwardly-turned portion, and O a downwardly-turned portion,'of the continued shank. Fashioned transversely at the lower end of portion O is the crosspiece D, having its axis lying,-practically, in the same plane with the broad sides of portion 0. The ends 01 of cross-piece D are bent upwardly, as shown, perpendicular to its length. the drawings adequately set forth every peculiarity of construction.
In attaching my invention to a hame staple or ring either staple or hook is turned sidewise, one wing or leg of the hook introduced until the staple strikes portion O, when the remaining leg of the compound hook may be introduced and the whole again turned into the normal position delineated in the first figure. It will be observed that the link is now in contact with the under surface of portion O broadly, as well as with the cross-piece D at two points. Thus the surfaces in actual contact and upon which the whole draft strain is taken up are multiplied as far as possible in devices of this character. The office of the bent ends (Z will now be clearly apparent. They operate to prevent accidental detachment of hook and link at times when the traces are relieved from strain, guiding the hook into its regular place, when the pull again takes up and straightens the traces.
I am aware that numerous hooks are employed as parts of tackle for use in many different ways having a flat or rounded shank, straight-or curved, and a terminal cross-piece, and I do not claim that construction broadly.
It is believed that the two figures of W'hat I do claim, and desire to protect by the cross-piece which is joined to said shank Letters Patent of the United States, isportion 0-, substantially as described. [0
