WILLIAM J. SCOTT, OF ROOKFALLS, ILLINOIS.
'REIN ROLL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 747,000, dated December 15, 1903. Application filed March 13,1903. Serial No. 147,666- (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may-concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. Soo'r'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockfalls, in the county of Whiteside and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rein-Rolls; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to rein-rolls for double harnesses, and comprises the usual frame or stirrup having a roller permanently secured in the end thereof, a hinged guard normally in position to hold the rein against the roller, and novel means for retaining such guard in its normal position.
There are other features of simplicity, cheapness, and efiectiveness which will more fully appear in the following specification.
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents my device in side elevation. Fig. 2 is a view of the same in perspective with the guard open. Fig. 3 is an elevation in detail of the guard. Fig. 4E is a longitudinal section in the line 44: of Fig. 1.
1 is the usual stirrup-shaped frame,having a roller 2 supported in the lower ends thereof. The side members of the frame 1 are curved outwardly into bows 3, which permit the easy passage of the end of the rein with a buckle,loop,or other devicethereon. Aswinging guard 4 is secured within the frame 1 by means of ears 5 on such guard engaging perforations 6 in the side pieces of the frame. The guard 4 conforms in shape to that portion of the frame in which it is located and is provided with wings 7 and 8. The wing 7 has a straight edge adjacent to and parallel with the roller 2, and the wing 8 is provided with a slot 9.
10 represents a section of the rein as it is normally held between the roller 2 and guard 4.
A sustaining-strap 11 passes through an aperture 12 in the closed end of the frame 1, thence through the slot 9, and thence back through the opening 12, the double strap thus formed being secured to the harness in the usual manner. The width of the opening 12 is such as to allow no lateral freedom to the strap 11.
The guard 4 is normally in line with the frame 1, as shown in Fig. 1, and in this position the rein is held from turning or twisting. To insert the rein, the device is supported until the strap 11 is sufficiently slack to permit the turning of the guard 4: at an angle to the frame. The rein 10 is then inserted and the frame released from support, whereupon the weight of the device and the rein 10 therein exerts a downward force upon the strap 11, returning the guard 4 to its normal position. The guard is retained or locked in such position by the same causes which compelled its return thereto.
The guard 4, including the ears 5 thereon, is preferably constructed of sheet metal, from which such part can be readily stamped,minimizing the cost of manufacture thereof.
The manner of securing the strap 11 to the frame not only accomplishes the purposes which have been above set forth, but by rea son of the narrowness of the opening 12 and the proximity of the wing 8 thereto there is no possibility of the device moving or jumping on the end of the strap, so as to permit the guard to open. Whenever the device is in use, the frame is supported at the loop end of the strap, for the reason that when the guard 4 is in its normal position the strap 11 is in line with the frame 1, as shown in Fig. 4, and when in this position the loop end of the strap is held from longitudinal play by the front and rear walls of the slot 9. The same result could be attained, so far as the supporting of the device is concerned, by using a single sustaining-strap, having its lower end suitably secured to the wing 8; but the double use of the strap is preferred.
In addition to its other useful properties it will be seen that my device is ornamental in design, adding greatly to the appearance of the harness to which it is attached.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
1. In a rein-roll, the combination of the frame 1, having an aperture 12 in one end thereof; the roller 2, secured in that end of the frame 1 opposite to the opening 12; the
guard 4:, pivot-ally secured in the frame 1, and the strap 11, secured to that end of the guard 4 which is in proximity to the aperture 12, and passing through such aperture, substantially as shown and set forth.
2. In a rein-roll, the combination of the frame 1, having an aperture 12 in one end thereof; the swinging guard 4, comprising the wing 7 and the wing 8, provided with the slot 9; the strap 11, passing through the slot 9, and through the aperture 12; and the roller 2, secured in that end of the frame 1 opposite to the aperture 12, substantially as set forth.
3. In a rein-roll, the combination of the frame 1, having an aperture 12 in one end thereof; the guard 4, comprising the wing 7 and the Wing 8; ears 5, on the edge of the guard 4, intermediate the wings thereof; perforations 6 in the frame 1, corresponding with the ears 5, and engaged thereby; the roller 2, secured in that end of the frame opposite to the aperture 12; and means for supporting such rein-roll, suitably secured to the wing 8, and passing through the aperture 12, substantially asshown.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM J. SCOTT.
