PATENT OFFICE.
RIFLE-HOLDER FOR MOUNTED TROOPS- SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 757,343, dated April 12, 1904.
Application filed June 22, 1903. erial No. 162,486- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN HENRY PATTERSON, D. S. 0., asubject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Aldershot, in the county of Hants, England, have invented a cer tain new and useful Rifle-Holder for Mounted Troops, of which the following is a specification, for which I have applied for a patent in Great Britain, dated December/L, 1902, No. 26, 7 7 0. Y
My invention relates to an improved appliance for carrying a rifle or carbine when mounted, whereby while the rifle is securely held by the saddle and the riders belt against accidental detachment it can nevertheless be rapidly detached when required for use.
In the accompanying .drawings, Figure 1 shows the application of my invention. Figs. 2, 3, and tare perspective views, respectively, of the belt attachment, the rifle-band detached from the rifle, and the clip which is attached to the saddle; and Fig. 5 is a section on the line X X of Fig. 2 with the stud of the rifle in place.
It will be seen that the grip of the rifle when this is in an upright position, butt down, with the muzzle behind the riders leftshoulder, is held by a spring-clipa, carried on the frog 5, which is a metal plate 0, (shown in dotted lines, Fig. 4,) sewed in leather and attached to the saddle d by a strap 0, passing through loops fastened to the saddle and throughabuckle e. The clipa is of an open-loop form, the opening being narrower than the grip of the rifle, so that when the latter is introduced it has to spring the loop open. To allow the necessary lateral movement of the rifle, whereby this accommodates itself to the motion of the horse, the clip a is secured to the frog 5 by a pivot f riveted thereto. A strap g passes through the girths to keep the frog 6 steady.
The upper part of the rifle is kept upright behind the riders back by a leather loop h,
which slides on the belt and has riveted to it a steel plate 71', in which is a slot 6. The upper part of the rifle carries a stud is, which may be fixed to the rifle or to astrap buckling thereon, but preferably to the band is, which keeps the barrel to its stock. This band is best provided with internally projecting spikes lciwhich bite into the stock. The stud 70 has a cross-head such that when the rifle is horizontal, or approximately so, it can readily be introduced into the slot a, while when the rifle is turned through an angle about ninety degreesas, for instance, when the rider lets it fall into the upright positionthe stud engages with theslot to lock the rifle to the loop 71 The rider then, when mounted, inserts the butt into the spring-clip (0.
Having thus described the nature of this invention and the best means I know of carrying the same into practical effect, I claim In a rifle-holder for mounted troops, in combination, a spring-clip suspended from the skirt of the saddle, a slotted plate attached to the belt of the rider, a stud attached to the rifle and havinga transversely-elongated head of less width than the widthof the slotin said plate, and adapted to pass through said slot and engage said plate when the rifle is supported in the saddle-clip; substantially as described. I
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two sub-- scribing witnesses.
' JOHN HENRY PATTERSON.
