UNITED STATES PATENT FFICE.
MICHAEL G. CLARK, OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
HARNESS-SADDLE.
SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 614,838, dated November 29, 1898.
Application filed March 15, 1898.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, MICHAEL G. CLARK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Harness-Saddles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in harness-saddles; and it consists of certain features of construction and combination of parts by which a lighter harness-tree may be used and the pads are capable of adjustment either up or down or may be turned clear around, as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings similar letters of reference refer to similar parts.
Figure 1 is a perspective View of a harnesssaddle provided with my invention. Fig. 2 is a front view of a portion of a harness-saddle, showing the pads adjusted in their highest position. Fig. 3 is an end view of a portion of the harness-saddle, showing the pads in their lowered position. Fig. 4: is a sectional view through the pad and harnesssaddle at the terret. Fig. 5 is a detailed perspective View of the various parts. Fig. 6 is a front view of a portion of a harness-saddle, showing the pads turned around, so that the thinner portion shall be at the top and the thick portion at the bottom. Fig. 7 is a perspective end View of the pad-plate. Fig. 8 is perspective end View of a portion of the sliding washer. Fig. 9 is a perspective View of the terret-nuts. Fig. 10 is a perspective View of the terret-nuts cast together and with a connecting-bar.
A represents a harness-saddle which may be made without the ordinary heavy metallic tree heretofore used and may consist of a light metallic tree and the heavy single strapleather skirts B and the jockey O, stitched to the skirt B. Through the skirt B and jockey O and upon both sides thereof are perforations'to receive the retaining-bolts D and D and the terrets E and E.
The pads F and F are formed upon a padplate G, which may consist of cast or sheet metal formed either of a single piece or two or more riveted or otherwise fastened together. I have shown it and prefer to make it of light sheet metal parallelogram in form, the sides Serial No. 673,931. (No model.)
thereof folded back upon the bottom and up inner flanges g 9 Heavy pieces of leather are then passed along the outer flanges g g, to which the cover f of the pads is securely tacked. Between the bottom of the padplat-e G and the inner flanges g and g there is slipped the sliding leather washer H, to the under side of which there have been tacked the terret-nuts I and I, the screw-threaded upper portion of which passes entirely through the leather.
The terret-nuts I and I may be made with their wings heavier and cast so as to have a connecting-bar, as shown in Fig. 10. When so constructed, they can be used without the intervention of the sliding leather washer H and take the place thereof.
To construct the saddle, the sliding washer H, carrying the terret-nuts I and I, is slipped into the pad-plate G. The heavy leather J, to which the outer covering of the pad is tacked, is then slipped over the tree and the leather covering f brought up and around the pad and the edges thereof tacked to the leather. The space between the leather oovering and the under side of the pad-plate is then filled with hair or other substance to form a cushion or pad. The terrets and lockin g-bolts are then passed through the jockey, skirt, and housing and engage the terret nuts I and I in the sliding washer H of the pads. This form of construction, which enables the use of a lighter metallic tree than heretofore used, produces a saddle having a smooth throat, the saddle-hook and its retaining-bolt being mounted upon the metallic tree carrying the skirts. The housing covers the under side of the saddle-hook A and presents, therefore, a perfectly smooth throat.
V The saddle-hook A takes the place of the rein-hook ordinarily employed in connectionfiguration of the pad-plate maybe made without departing from the spirit of my invention, which consists, primarily, in providing an independent plate upon which the pad is formed and which carries a sliding washer, which may be of either leather, metal, or wood, to which are attached terret-nuts.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent is-- 1. The combination in a pad for harnesssaddles, of a plate provided with inwardly and outwardly projecting flanges, a sliding washer engaging therewith, and carrying terret-nuts, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.
