H. ARSNEAU. HITGHING POST.
(Application led June 13, 1899.)
(No Model.)
PATENT L rrr.
IIATTIE ARSNEAU, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
HlTcHlNeaPos-rf SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 642,567, dated February 6, 1900*. Application filed June 13, 1899. Serial No. 720,366. (N0 model- To a/ZZ whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, HATTIE AnsNnAU, of Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in HitchingPosts, of which the following is aspecitication.
My invention relates to hitching -posts which shall be simple, cheap, and durable in construction, eficient in operation, and neat in appearance and which shall comprise, in combination, a suitable post or frame, a bitching-strap provided with a suitable snap or fastening device, and means in said post or frame whereby said strap is normally retained within said post or frame, said strap, and means adapted to rotate to prevent kinking or twisting of said strap or the breaking thereof when in use.
To these ends my invention consists in the mechanism, construction, and combinations of part, all as hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
The invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in whichl l Figure 1 is a perspective view of ahitchingpost embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof on the line x2 r2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a sectional view thereof on the line x3 x3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4: is a plan view of the top of the post, the cap thereof being opened to a horizontal position. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the post in an inverted position.
As shown in the drawings, 2 represents the hollow cylindrical portion of my post, which may be of any desired shape, size, or material. I prefer, however, to use either cast-iron or gas-pipe therefor. The pipe or frame 2 is provided with a flaring base 3, which may be cast integral therewith. (See Figs. 2 and 3.) As shown in Figs. 2 and 5, the base 3 is provided with a seat 4 for the frame 5. A frame 6 is mounted on the frame 5 bya swivel connection 7 A shaft 8 is mounted in the upwardly-extending arms 63 of the frame 6. A short shaft 9 extends from a bearing in a rearwardly-projecting lug into a bearing in a lug 62 extending up from the bottom of the frame 6. One end of the spring 10 is passed about this shaft 9 and bended back and riveted, as shown, by suitable rivets. The other end of this spring is fastened on the shaft 8, and a portion of the strap 11 is coiled or wound upon the shaft 8. The strap 11 thence passes up through the frame or pipe 2, through the opening 12 in the cap-plate 13, and is passed through the loop 14 and riveted therein, as shown. A spring-snap 15 is swiveled on the loop 14, as shown. The cap-plate 13 rests loosely on the top of the pipe or frame 2 of the post and is free to turn thereon. It is held in position by thecollar 16, which is provided with a suitable thread and adapted to be screwed onto the end of the frame or pipe, as shown. A cap 17 is pivoted to the collar 16 and is adapted to close over the strap 1l, loop 14, and snap 15, as shown in Fig. 2.
The base 3 is provided with a series of holes 18, by which it is secured to the sidewalk or pavement or to the fence or wall.
It is thus seen that a bitching-post isprovided which has means for automatically Winding up the bitching-strap and that when a horse is hitched to the strap thereof no amount of twisting of the horses head can tangle up the strap or break the same, owing to any slack in the strap being automatically and instantly taken up and the swiveling of the snap on the strap and of the swiveling of the connections for the other end thereof.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, in a device of the class described, o f a pipe or frame 2 provided With a flaring base, a slotted cap-plate resting on the top thereof, a collar retaining said capplate loosely on said pipe, a pivoted cover, a bitching-strap, a snap or hitching device sWivelly connected to said strap, the other end of said hitching-strap fixed on a shaft, a suitable frame wherein said shaft is mounted, said`frame swivelly'mounted in said pipe or frame 2, and a coiled spring having one end fixed to said shaft and the other fastened to a stationary fastening, substantially as described.
2. The combination, in a device of the class described, of a pipe or frame 2 provided with a base 3, a cap-plate 13, a threaded collar 1G, a pivoted cap 17, a hitching-strap 1l provided at one end with a swiveled hitohing device and attached at its other end to a shaft 8, a
frame 6 wherein said shaft is mounted, a In testimony whereof I have hereunto set coiled spring 10 having one end fastened on my hand at Minneapolis, Minnesota, this 31st said shaft 8 and the other end fastened to a day of May, A. D. 1899.
stationary portion of said frame, the latter HATTIE ARSNEAU. being swivelly mounted and a frame 5 mount- In presence of ed in the bottom of said pipe, substantially FREDERICK S. LYON, as described. 1 J. R. GODFREY.
