HORSE-COLLAR FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 760,492, dated May 24, 1904.
Application filed September 30, 1903. Serial No. 175,204. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern,.-
Be it known that we, STEVEN O. SHELDoN and PHILIP BUTTEREUss, citizens of the United States, residing at Dewitt, in the county of Clinton and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horse- Collar Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a horse-collar embodying our invention. Fig. 2 is a similar View of our invention detached. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3 3, Fig. 2.
Arepresents a horse-collar of approved construction, which we have employed to illustrate the application of our invention.
The fastener comprises two members 5 and 6, from each of which extend arms 7 and 8, respectively, of suitable curvature to conform to the shape of the collar, as will be readily understood, each arm having a series of openings 9, by means of which the respective members are secured to the collar by bolts, rivets, or other desirable means at the option of the manufacturer. lhe member 5 is also provided with vertical extensions l at substantially right angles thereto of asuitable height, there being a space between said extensions. The member 6 is provided withV verticallydisposed inverted-U-shaped members 11, between which is a tongue l2, forming, with the body of the member 6, an inverted V, whereby when the parts are assembled in locked position said tongue l2 fits snugly on the upper face of the member as will be seen more clearly in Fig. 3, said tongue passing between the extensions 10, thereby locking the two members against lateral displacement.
In locking the collar the members are first placed in the relative position shown in Fig. 2. Then the locking member 11 is passed over the extensions l0, the tongue 12 being positioned between the extensions 10. The parts are now pressed together until the tongue 12 is swung against the face of the member 5, as
shown in Figs. l and 2. As stated, the parts are locked against relative lateral movement by positioning the tongue 12 between the ex tensions of the member 5. A further object and function of the tongue 12 is to cover the edges of the members at their juncture to afford a smooth surface for the top strap of the hames, and thereby protect said strap from unusual wear. By edges of the members we refer to that portion lying between the vertical extensions 10 of the member 5.
The metallic fastening at the top of the collar having the curvature of the collar, as has ours, prevents said collar from being cornpressed or distorted, thereby affording protection to the neck of the animal as the collar is braced against compression.
What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A horse collar fastener comprising two members, the end of one member being split in three parts each integral with the body of the member, the central split portion being deflected downwardly while the outer split portions are bent upward and thence downward to form inverted-U-shaped catches, extensions integral with and extending from the edge of the other member from the plane thereofl the outer edge of each of which is in line `with the outer edge of said member and bent upward at an angle to the said member for locking engagement with the U-shaped catches while the downward defiected portion of the first-mentioned member is constructed to fit between said vertical extensions to overlap the joint between the two members and interlock said members against relative sidewise movement.
The foregoing specification signed this th day of September, 1903.
