JOHN T. 'I-IEATI-I, OF BRADFORD; VERMONT.
HARNESS-TERRET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 625,107, dated May 16, 1899.
Application filed November 12, 1898. Serial No. 696,277. (No model.)
To aZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN T. HEATH, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bradford, in the county of Orange and State of Ver'- mont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness-Terrets; 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 has relation to harness-terrets and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts, as hereinafter described.
The terret consists ofa ring provided with.
an engaging means wherebyit is secured to the harness-saddle. A bar extends across the ring,and a second bar extends part way across the ring and terminates at a distance from the inner edge of the ring about equal to the distance between the two bars, said bars be= ing parallel to each other and inclined at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the terret taken through the engaging means, the object of the terret being to hold the reins horizontal or flat, this being of especial advantage in double harness, where the reins cross between the animals, and in single harness the reins are held flat against the rump of the animal,- the terret preventing any twisting of the reins after they are once put in proper position.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of the terret. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of a portion of a saddle with the terrets applied thereto.
The ring 1 is provided with the threaded shank 2, which is adapted to be screwed into a threaded socket in the harness saddle, which when screwed down into place holds the terret at a slight angle. The bar 3 extends all the way across the ring.
In operation the buckle of the rein is passed through the opening 5, as is also the rein. The rein is then turned over on the bar 4 which thus brings the rein in its proper position. The bars are placed at such a slant in the ring as to hold the reins horizontal, and they prevent any twisting of the reins or getting tangled with the rest of the harness. Also by this means thereins are always flat whether held loosely or drawn taut.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is f A terret comprising a ring provided with an engaging means, a straight bar extending across the ring, a second straight bar extending part way across the ring and terminating at a distance from the ring about equal to the distance between the bars, said second bar being under the first said bar, said bars being parallel to each other and inclined at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the terre taken through the engaging means.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN T. HEATH.
