HORSE-DETACHING DEVICE.
srEcIFIcATroN forming part of Letters Patent No. 609,921, dated August so, 189s. Appncaan and April 2z, 1897. serai N5. 633,239. or@ moda.)
T0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES E. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ocala, in the county of Marion, State of Flor-Y ida, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Horse-Detachiig Devices, which improvement is fully set'forth in the following speciiication and accompanying drawings.
My invention, as hereinafter described and claimed, consists of an improved construction of a horse-detaching device by means of which lugs or traces, usually employed, are dispensed with and the driver is enabled in case of a runaway to instantly detach the horse or the harness carried thereby from the shaft.
It also consists of means for allowing a certain play in the harness, thus preventing chafing.
Figure l represents a perspective view of a horse-detaching device embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a section on line :t 0c, Fig. l. Fig. 3 represents a section on line g/ y, Fig. 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Referring to the drawings, A designates a portion of a harness, the same consisting of the suitable casing, which has guided therein in any suitable manner the bolt B, the latter having an eye orpin C attachedthereto, which projects through the slots C in said casing, said eye having a cord or other connection D attached thereto, said cord extending to the driver. E designates a wall within the portion A in which the bolt B is guided, the upper eX- tremity of said bolt being further guided in the wall E', which latter serves as a stop for the upward movement of the eye O.
F designates a spring mounted on the bolt B and having one end abutting against the wall E, the lower extremity of said spring at G being attached to the bolt and normally resting on the wall G', it being noted that the lower extremity H of the bolt eXtendsnormally beyond said wall G' and passes through the opening J of the hold er or guard K, which latter is composed of some suitable non-resili-1 ent material and is preferably curved or bent,
substantially as indicated, so as to engage the shaft M, said guard K being pivotallyat `bolt B with said guard.
tached to the portion A of the harness at the point L.
N designates a lug, (shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1,) which is attached to theplate N',
which latter is seated in the shafts M, said lug N engaging the sides of the lugs Q, which are attached to the portion A of the harness.
R designates a chamber in the lower por'- tion of the harness A, in which is located the rod S, the latter having a head T on an end thereof, against which head bears one extremity of the spring U, the other extremity of the latter bearing against an outer wall of the chamber R, said rod S having attached thereto in any suitable manner the portion V of the harness,which extends to the breeching. In like manner W designates a rod which passes through the opposite wall of the chainber R and has a head X thereon, against which bears one extremity of the frame Y, the other extremity thereof contacting with the outer wall of` the chamber R, said rod W' having attached thereto a portion Z of the harness which passes to the harness and front of the animal.
The operation is as follows: The parts normally appear as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3, the lug N engaging the lugs Q, in which position it will be seen that the shaft M will be `positively held by means of the guard K, the
latter being retained in the position seen in Fig. 2 by means of the engagement of the v If the horse becomes frightened or if it is for any reason desired to detach the same from the vehicle, it is only necessary for the driver to exert a pull on the connection D, whereby the bolt B will become disengaged from the shafts N, it being understood that the spring F normally holds the guard K in locked position through the medium of the bolt B.
It will be apparent from the foregoing that by my invention I provide a positive means for readily and instantly disconnecting the horse from a vehicle, and, in addition, much labor is saved in harnessing and unharnessing, asis evident.
I ainaware thatit is not broadly new to employ a bolt on the shaft for sustaining said shaft in connection with a ring attached to a portion of the harness, the withdrawal of said bolt from said ring being under the con- IOO I claim as new, and desire to secure 'by Letters Patent, is-
A harness having a portion thereof provided Wth the Walls E', E, and G', a bolt movably mounted in said Walls, a spring operating said bolt, and having one end thereo1 hearing against the Wall E, the other end of said spring being attached to said holt, a guard K pivoted to said harness and having an opening therein adapted to be engaged by an end of said bolt, and lugs attached to said harness in combination With a shaft having a lug attached thereto, and adapted to enga-ge said iirst-lnentioned lugs.
