Description
`@uitrit tetra jliatmt @Hirn IMPROVED SAFETYjSTIRRUP.
@its ilyehule refmir tu in time Entert @anni nih making pnt nf tige same.
T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM WEDDINGTON, of Alexandria, in the county of Madison, and State of Indiana, have invented a new and improved Safety-Stump; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective 'view of my improved safety-stirrup.
Figure 2 is a central vertical section, taken in the line a' x, fig. 1.
Figure 3 is a similar view, showing the foot-bar tilted up,
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parte.
This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in the construction of a. snddle-stirrup, and consists in attaching n foot-piece or support to an ordinary stirrup, with pivots, in such a manner that the weight of the foot on the heel of the foot-piece shalltip it up or raise it Vbetween the bows of the stirrup, and thus release the foot in case of accident by the throwing ofthe rider, as hereinafter more particularly described.
, In the drawing, A A nre the sidelmrs,`n.nd B the foot-bar of an ordinary stirrup. C represents an extra foot-bar, made of' iron or wood, which is'hung on pivots e in the lower endsof the side bows A Ain such a manner that it shall rest upon and be supported by the foot-bar B when iu its proper position for holding the foot in the stirrup, as shown in fig. 1, whilo'it can turn upon its pivots a a and swing back between the bows A A, when the weight of' the f'oot bears upon theV heel or rear side ofthe bar C, as shown in fig. 3, thus releas# ing the foot from the stirrup readily in case of accident. The foot7bar C is turned up in front and bent backward, forming a triangular stirrup with a third bow, A', the upper end of whichrjoins and bears against thc head of the stirrup, when the foot-bar is in place for supporting the foot. The third bow A receives and bears against the toewhen the foot is introduced into the stirrnp, thus 'preventing it from entering too far. The footbar C will rise in front by the pressure of the foot upon it behind the pivots a' a, and thus throw out the foot and release it from the stirrupwhen a rider is thrown from his horse, and thus prevent the danger of being dragged bythe foot hanging iu the stirrup, which with the ordinary stirrup often happens and causes fatal accidents. i l i Having .described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The foohur C pivoted at ain the ends ofthe bows LA, and resting upon the projecting foot-bar B,and provided with a bow A', whose u er curved end resses a ainst the head of the stirru when the foot is laced 1 PP P g` P P therein, as herein set forth for the purpose specified.
