DRIVING-REIN HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 636,563, dated November 7, 1899.
' Application filed February 13, 1899. Serial No. 705,423- (No model.)
terret-rings when the harness is to be put' away or the lines are not needed and in such a manner that they may be quickly released.
My invention also relates to details of construction hereinafter appearing and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, on which like reference-letters indicate corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a detail perspective view of a portion of the back-band of a harness with my holder applied thereto; Fig. 2, a rear view of a portion of the back-band, showing my invention applied thereto; and Fig. 3, a detail view of my invention, partly in section, showing the tines in their raised position.
The letter A represents the saddle of the back-band of a harness. On this saddle are mounted terret=rings B in the ordinary manner, such as screwing them into a-nut between the saddle and leather of the backband. One of these terret-rings is adapted to pass through a hole 0 in my improved lineholder D. As the terret-ring is screwed into its nut E it will press against the line-holder and hold it in any desired set position, such as that illustrated in the drawings. This lineholder consists of a bracket F, in the outer end of which is 'rotatably mounted a fork G. On the cross-piece of the fork G is fixed a cam-stop H about midway between the tines of the fork. This cam-stop fits within a bifurcated projection I-of the bracket, and the fork is held in position with its cam-stop within the bifurcated projection by bending the ends of the projections around beneath the cross-piece of the fork, as clearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. Before bending this bifurcated projection in this manner the presser-foot J is slipped into a recess K in the bracket. About the stem 1) of this presserfoot is placed a helical spring L, adapted to press at one end against the presser-foot and at its other end against the shoulder at within the recess-in the bracket. It will be observed that the cam-stop is in the form of a circle with a portion of its outer periphery flattened. This flattened portion is clearly shown at M in Fig. 2. The presser-foot J contacts with this flattened portion to hold the tines of the fork in their lowered position; but it will be understood that by taking hold of the tines they may be raised to any desired position, the presser-foot acting upon the periphery of the cam-stop to hold the lines in such desired position.
WVhen the horse is to be unharnessed, the lines are loosened from the bit of the bridle (not shown) and are pulled through the terret-rings a short distance, and that portion of the lines back of such rings is then carried to one side of the horse and folded as many times as desired about the terret-ring B. The tines of the holder are then raised and the folds of the lines are drawn together by the hand, when the tines are pressed downward on the outside of thelines, so that the folds of the lines are between the tines. Thus it will be understood that the lines when in this position are held so snugly that they will not disengage from the terret-ring.
This invention is of great practical impor-' partially frozen, as is frequently the case in -cold weather, as it obviates the necessity of bending the lines sufficiently to pass them through the terret-ring, and also obviates the necessity of passing one of their ends about the lines to tie them. When tied by one of the lines, they are very aptto become loose and will at such times present anything but a neat appearance and are liable to pull out of the terret-rings. In my invention all this difficulty is overcome and the holder presents a neat and attractive appearance, as well as being very quickly manipulated.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to'secur'e by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a line-holder for harness, the combination with a bracket having a bifurcated projection extending therefrom, as also a recess therein, a presser foot adapted to project within said recess, a spring for operating said Presser-foot, and a fork having a cam-stop fixed thereon, and mounted within said bifurcated projection, said fork being held by the bifurcated projection being bent around said fork, substantially as shown and described.
2. In a line-holder for harness, the combination with a bracket having a bifurcated projection extending therefrom, as also a recess therein, a shoulder in said recess, a presserfoot having a stem fitting within said recess, a helical spring adapted to bear against said presser-foot at one end and against said shoulder at its other end, a fork pivotally mounted carried by said bifurcated projection, an annular cam-stop mounted on said projection between said bifurcations and having a portion of its periphery flattened, and adapted to be pressed by said presser-foot, and means for securing said bracket to said harness, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JEREMIAH M. RUSE.
