DANIEL O. FOSGATE, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
HALTER- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 723,999, dated March 31, 1903;
Application filed July 3, 1902. Serial No. 114,296. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DANIEL O. FOSGATE, a citizen of the United States, residing atChicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a newand useful Halter, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to halters,"and more particularly to that class of halters which are constructed of leather and rope combined, leather being used wherever rope would be liable to injuriously chafe the animal and rope being employed at other points where it can be advantageously used on account of its comparative cheapness and strength.
My invention has for its object to produce a halter of this class which shallbe simple in construction, and therefore inexpensive, which shall be neat in appearance, and which shall be possessed of great strength and durability. With these ends in view the invention consists in the improved construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a halter constructed iri' accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 isa detail rear view. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view taken on the line a: a; in Fig. 2. 4., 4?, 5,6, 7, 8, and 8 are detail views showing various trimmings employed in the manufacture of my improved halter.
Corresponding parts in the several figures are indicated by-like characters of reference. 1 designates the nose-band, which consists of a leather strap the ends of which are connected by means of a buckle 2. p This buckle, the detailed construction of which is shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings, comprisesa frame 3, cross-piece 4., and tongue 5, all of which are of ordinary construction. however, is provided at its upper side with a lug 7, the distance between the two being about equal to the thickness of the rope which is to be employed in the manufacture of my improved'halter. The buckle 2 will be disposed at one side of the nose-strap, and at the opposite side of the same is slidingly mounted a buckle-frame 2, which is in all Figs.
The frame,
are of ordinary construction, save that the frames thereof are provided at their lower edges or ends with flaps 10, similar to the flap 6 of the buckle 2.
1'1 designates a plate having an upwardlyextending flap 12 and two pairs of laterally-.
extending flaps 13 13, as well asan angular stud 14, disposed upon the face of said plate between the flaps 13 13. The flap 12 of said plate is adapted to be curved or bent, so as to form a tube 15, as clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, in which the rope portion of the halter is slidingly mounted, as will be presently described. I
16 designates an H-shaped plate compris ing the cross-bar 17 and the end flaps 18 18. This H-shaped plate, together with the halterring 19, which is to be mounted thereon, comprise the final trimmings of my improved halter. The cross-bar 17 of the plate 16 is preferably thickened or reinforced in order to give it great strength to resist the strain of the ring thereon.
20 designates the rope part of the halter, which is passed through'the tube 15, formed 'by bending the flap 12. of the plate 11, the
said rope having sliding connection with the said tubular portion. The rope having been cut to "the proper length is drawn through the tube until the latter is disposed centrally thereon, and'the flaps 10 of the buckles 9 of the crown-piece are then bent around and firmly clamped upon the said rope at points equidistant from the ends thereof. The buckle-frames 2 and 2* are now clamped on the rope at suitable distances from the buckles 9, the lugs 7 of said buckle-frames servingto press against the front sides of the rope ends, which are bent at this point, so as to cause them to lie fiat against the upper edges of the buckle-frames,with which they are connected by the flaps 6 being bent around and clamped upon thesaidropeends. The parts22 22 of said rope extending between the buckles 2 2 and 9 9 constitute the cheek-pieces of the halter, while the throat-latch is formed by the central part of the rope extending rearwardly from the buckles 9 9 and through the tube 15. From the buckles 2 2 the rope ends are carried rearward in proximity to the rear portion of the nose-strap and are 0011- nected by the flaps 18 18 with the plate 16, upon which the ring 19 is mounted, also embracing the rear portion of the nose-strap, and from whence the said rope ends are carried upwardly and finally connected with the plate 11 by means of the flaps 1-3 13 being bent around and tightly clamped upon said rope ends, the extremities of which will lie closely adjacent to the tubular portion 15, by which said rope ends are protected. The angular stud 14:,engaging between the rope ends, will make their withdrawal from the clamping-plate practically impossible. As will be seen, the parts 22 of the rope ends extending between the plates 11 and 16 constitute the jaw piece of the halter.
The several plates or trimmings of my improved halter are preferably made of malleable iron to enable them to be produced at small expense and at the same time to be manipulated in themanner described to clamp them upon the rope parts of the halter, an operation which is to be performed by means of suitable machinery. It is not necessary that the parts should be connected in the order of rotation herein described, as it is obvious that precisely the same purpose might be accomplished by connecting the parts in a difi'erent order of rotation. It will also be understood that while malleable iron is described as being preferable any other suitable material may be employed in the manufacture of the trimmings or part thereof without departing from the spirit of my invention.
A halter constructed in accordance with my invention will be found to possess the very desirable qualities of neatness of appearance, strength, and durability, while it may be manufactured at an expense greatly below the cost of leather halters, to which it is fully equal for all practical purposes. I desire it to be especially noted that the ends of the rope are protected by the tubular portion 15, against which they are disposed, and likewise the said tubular portion 15 is braced by the flaps 13 of plate 11 being bent underneath the same, so as to bear against it and preventit from being readily displaced. The function of the stud 14 upon the plate 11 is obvious. The reinforced cross-piece 17 of the plate 16 is well fitted to receive any strain that may be exercised upon the halter-ring 19, and the lugs 7 upon the buckle-frames 2 2 by hearing against the bent portions of the rope serve the twofold purpose of protecting the said rope-sections at a point Where they are peculiarly liable'to wear and also to prevent the buckle -frames of which they form part from being readily displaced from the positions in which they are located upon the rope.
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- 1. In a halter, the combination of a nosepiece, a buckle connecting the ends of said nose-piece, and a buckle-frame mounted slidingly thereon, said buckle and buckle-frame being provided with flaps clamped upon adjacent rope parts of the halter, and with lugs bearing against bent portions of the said rope parts, substantially as set forth.
2. In a halter, a plate having flaps bent to form a tubular rope-guide and sleeves for the accommodation of the rope ends, said sleeves being disposed with their ends adjacent to and contacting with the side of the tubular rope-guide.
3. In a halter, the herein-described plate having an upwardly-extending flap, bent to form a tubular rope-guide, an outwardly projecting angular stud,and laterally-extending flaps adapted to be bent and clamped upon the rope ends, securing the latter con tiguous to each other and to the angular stud, substantially as set forth.
4:. In a halter, the combination with the rope part of such halter, of a plate formed with a tubular rope-guide, an angular stud and two pairs of laterally-extending flaps disposed on opposite sides of said stud, said flaps being bent upon the rope ends contiguous to the tubular rope-guide and securing the raw ends of the rope in contact with the latter, while the sides of the rope ends are secured contiguous to each other on opposite sides of and above and below the angular stud.
5. In a halter, the combination with the rope part of such halter, of a buckle-frame having a flap bent and clamped upon such rope, and a lug disposed adjacent to a bent portion of such rope, such bent portion being disposed between said lug and flap, substantially as set forth.
6. In a halter, the combination with the rope part of such halter, of an H-shaped plate comprising a reinforced cross-piece and end flaps bent upon and clamping the rope, and a halter-ring engaging the reinforced portion of said H-shaped plate between the rope-sections clamped thereby, substantially as set forth.
7. A halter comprising a nose-piece having its ends adjustably connected by a buckle, a buckle-frame slidingly mounted upon the opposite side of said nose-piece, a crownpiece having buckles at its ends, a rope-section having fixed connection with the buckles at the ends of the crown-piece and upon the nose-piece, the rope-sections lying between said buckles constituting the cheek-pieces of the halter, a plate having a tube slidingly connected with the central part of the rope which constitutes the throat-latch, said plate being also rigidly connected with the ends of r the rope which are disposed adjacent to said In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in re the presence of two witnesses.
