JOSEPH E. PFLUEGER, OF AKRON, OHIO.

HARNESS-ROSETTE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 655,511, dated August '7, 1900.

Application filed April 2, 1900. Serial No- 1l,136. (No model.)

To all whom it ntag concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH E. PFLUEGER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Akron, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness-Rosettes; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a rear elevation showing my invention as applied to a flat ro- Bette and showing the openings in plate 0. Fig. 2 is a section on the linex 50, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation showing myinvention as applied to a concavo-convex rosette. Fig. 4 is a section on the line y y, Fig. 3. Fig. 5is a detail view of the plate cl. Fig. 6 is a detail view of the loop E.

The invention has relation to harness-rosettes; and it consists in the novel construction and combinations of parts, as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings the letter A designates the metallic shell of a harnessrosette, which is provided with a flange b, and O is a transverse metallic loop-holder or plate of skeleton form designed to extend across the shell and secured in place by bending or spinning the flange Z) down over its ends, as,indicated in the drawings. The plate O is usually bent inward or toward the concave of the shell; but for flat rosettes it may be plane, the object being to have it conform somewhat to the contour of the back of the shell. This plate is provided with an aperture, opening, or slot 02 for the passage of the back loop E and of the same length an breadth as said loop proper, the feet g of which are bent outward, as shown. When assembled these feet project beyond the slot under the ends of the plate and between the same and the circumferential portion of the shell. The feet are flattened in order to give them a bearing to hold the loop in proper position. The flange of the rosette being bent down upon the ends of the plate holds all in position until further secured by solder or tinning.

\Vhen the rosette is tin-plated, it-is dipped in the hot tin or lead, which not onlycovers the goods and finishes them, but also works into the crevices of the assembled parts in the sides of the shell and secures the flattened end of the loop, the slotted plate, and the shell firmly together. When, however, the rosette is of brass or other metal, which is not to be tinned,but is to be japanned,painted, polished, or otherwise finished, it is required to solder the parts together, and in order to accomplish thisin an efiective manner the plate 0 is provided with small perforations n in its ends beyond the loop-slot and designed to correspond with the flattened ends of the loop between said plate and shell. A small piece of solder having been placed on each perforation after the parts are assembled, it is fluxed with an acid in position and passed under the flame of a blowpipe, when the solder flowing under the plate fastens the loopplate and shell firmly together.

In assembling the parts of my rosette the loop is first passed through the slot in the loop-holder, in which it has a neat fit, until its foot portions bear against said holder at the rear. The holder and loop are then se cured to the rosette-body.

It will be noted that the loop-holder plate 0 has a more extended, and consequently more secure, bearing in the marginal portion of the rosette spun over thereupon than would be possible for the back loop E to have and that extensive flattening of the foot portions of said loop is avoided. The foot portions of the loop being located between the rosettebody and the holder-plate, the parts are securely held together.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1S-' 1. The combination with a rosette having a marginal flange, of a back loop having foot portions, and a loop-holder plate having an elongated slot therein to receive the main portion of said back loop and having its ends secured under said flange, said foot portions of the back loop being secured between the body of the rosette and said loop-holder plate, substantially as specified.

2. The combination with a rosette having marginal portions thereof spun over or bent backwardly upon itself, of a back loop having flattened foot portions, and a loop-holder plate having an elongated slot therein of the same length and breadth as the main portion of said back loop to neatly receive the same, and having its ends secured under said back wardly-bent portions of the rosette, said foot portions of the back loop being secured between the body of the rosette, and said loopholder plate, substantially as specified.

3. The combination with a rosette having a marginal flange, of the back loop having flattened feet, and a loop-holder plate of ske1eton form extending transversely across the rosette and havingits ends secured under said flange, said plate having an elongated slot therein to neatly receive the main portion of said back loop, and the feet of said loop being secured between the body of the rosette, and said loop-holder plate, substantially as specified.

at. In a harness-rosette, the slotted loopholding plate, having the soldering-perforations in its ends, in combination with the footed loop, and flanged shell, substantially as specified.

5. The combination with a rosette having a marginal flange, of a back loop having foot portions and a loop-holder plate having an elongated slot therein to receive the main portion of said back loop, and provided with sol dering-perforations near its ends, which ends are secured under said rosetteflange, said foot portions of the loop being secured between the body of the rosette and said loopholder plate, substantially as specified.

6. The combination with a concavo-convex or shell-form rosette having a marginal flange of a back loop having foot portions, and a loopholder plate of arched skeleton form extending transversely across the rosette, havingan elongated slot therein to receive the main portion of said back loop, and having solderingperforations near its ends, which ends are secured under said rosette-flange, said foot portions of the back loop being secured between the body of the rosette and said loop-holder plate, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I afflx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
