Specification of Letters Patent.
Tatented Aug. 22, 1905.
Application filed December 31, 1904. Serial N0. 239,144.
Be it known that I, MINER E. WORDEN, a eitizen of the United States, residing at Seranton, in tl1'e county 0f Lackawanna and State 0f Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hames; and I do l1ereby deelare the following t0 be a full, elear, and exact deseription 0f the invention, such as Will enable others skilled in the art t0 Whieh it appertains to make and use the same.
Tl1is invention relates t0 eertain new and useful improvements in harnesses, and more particularly t0 hames.
The objeet of the invention is the produeti0n 0f a simple and eomparatively inexpensive hame whieh is durable in eonstruetion and 0f great utility for the purposes f0r whieh it is to be employed.
Another object 0'f the invention is the improVement of the general structure 0f the hame, said hame being preferably formed 0f metal.
A further objeet 0f the'invention is the provlsion ofmeans formed upon a hame f0r preventing the fastening means Whi0h is employed f0r seeuring a trace thereto from chalfing 01 in any way injuring the animal upon whieh said harne may be carried.
With these andother objects in view the in vention eonsists in certain novel eonstruetions, cornbinations, and arrangements of parts, as Will be hereinafter fully deseribed, illustrated in the aeeompanying drawings and more partieularly pointed out in the elaims hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view in elevation of a pair of connected hames. Fig. 2 is a transverse seetional view of a hame, taken 011 line 2 2, Fig, 1. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary side view 0f ehe hame, showing its l100k moved at approxima tely right angles t0 its normal position. Fig. 4is a perspeetive view 0f a fastening device employed in eonneeting two hames. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sicle view 0'f a l1ame to whicl1 is removably seeured a looped member.
Lilie numerals of referenee designate eorresponding parts throughout all the figures of the drawings.
l/Vhile in Fig. 1 0'l the drawings I l1ave shown a pair 0'l eonneeted hames, it Will only be neeessary to deseribe the strueture ol? one, as eaeh 0f he hames is similar in eonstruc- -tion. The body ortion of the hame comprises a rib l, extending approximately the entire length of an integral flanged portion 2. The flanged portion 2 0f tl1e hame eonstitutes the base portion thereof. Said flanged portion is flat upon is inner faee, and by reason thereof it provides a suitable surfaee Whieh may engage a pad er collar positioned upon the animal. The rib 1 provides reinforcing means f0r the hame throughout its entire length. Owing t0 the peeuliar eonstruetion of the body portion 0f the hameto wit, the formation 0f a rib positioned upon the base portion thereof-4ahe durability 0f the hame is greatly inereased. Eaeh end 0f tl1e hame is provided with parallel integral extensions 4 4, as elearly depicted in Fig. 5, the parallel extensions constiouting a bifureated portion for eaeh 0f the ends 0f the hame. A rem0vable looped member 5 is secured within the upper bifureated portion 0f the hame by any suiable means, as 6, and if it is desired a looped member 5 may also be positioned within the opposite orlower bifureated end oli tl1e hame.
Formed interniediate the ends 0f the body portion of the hame are parallel integral lugs 0r ears 7 7, Whi0h projeet from said body portion ab right angles t0 the flange 2. The parallel lugs er ears 7 7 eonstitute a braeket, whieh is employed for retaining a hook 8 up0n the hame when said hook is seeured by fastening means 9, preferably a holt, between said lugs 7 7. The hook 8 eomprises a body portion 10, whieh is provided With an aperture 11 for aecommodating the fasten ing rneans 9. The hook 8 is provided with an angular extension 12, Whi0h is turned downward, so that when the hook is pivoted to and retained in its normal position, as depieted in Figf. l, tl1e downward extension 12 Will b e positioned eomparatively near the upper surfaee. 0f the upper lug 7. This peeuliar strueture of the hook is employed f0r the purpose 0f positively seeuring a traee in a eonneeted eondition with. the hame. It will be obvious that if a traee is positioned upon hook 8 tl1e portion 0f Ehe traee whieh is interposed between the flanged porti0n 2 and the body portion 10 ofthe hook Will be prevented from becoming disassembled from said l100k, f0r the reason that it is securely fastened thereto, as the ho0k, when in its normal position, together with the upper 111g 7, constitutes substantially a so]id link. If it is desired to remove the trace from 011 the hook, it may be aooomplished by swinging the hook 8 around to the Front, as illustrated in. Fig. 3, and when the hook is in such position the extension 12 is removed from the body portion of the ha1ne a considerable distanoe and provides a comparatively wide 1nouth. This peculiar oon struction of the ha1ne produdes fastening means for the traoe, whioh is exceedingly simple in construotion and of great utility. The flanged portion 2 is inoreased in thickness between the lugs or ears 7 7, producing a reinforoed or raised portion 13, whioh constitutes a rest for the hook. The formation of the rib or raised portion 13 between the lugs 7 7 is acoomplished by increasing the thickness of said flange toward its outer edge. The rib or raised portion 13 produces a sooket or conoaved portion, (illustrated in Fig. 3 by dotted line 14,) said socket 14 acoommodating a portion of the hook 8. By reason of the rib or raised portion 13 many undesirable results involved in the employment of an ordinary ha1ne are obviated, a1nong Whi0h 1nay be mentioned the ohafiing of the animal, Whi0h is ordinarily done by the employment of a ha1ne of the co1nmon type known to the patented art.
Each menuber of a pair of hames is con nected ab its upper end by fastening 1neans 15, prelerably a strap, Which is secured to looped 1nembers 5 5. The looped me1nbers 5 5 and tne fastening 1neans when assembled 1ie in the same horizontal plane.
If it is desired, si1nilar connecting means to thatmtilized fror assembling the upper end of each hame 0f a pair may be also employed for connecting the lower end of each ha1ne; but I refer to employ a peouliarly-oonstructe? fastening device for conneoting the lower ends thereof.
The fastening device co1nprises a pair of givouallyoonneoted members 16 and 17.
Hames construoted in acoordanoe Wih the present invention are preferably formed en tirely of 1netal, and while my ha1ne oan be adapted for all the uses of an ordinary hame the san1e is preferably employed on animals used in mines, the hame being admirably adapted for such purposes.
While I have desoribed in ehe foregoing deseription a'nd illustrated in the aooompanying diawings the 'referred oonstruotion 01'? 1ny invention, it Wi l be obvious to one versed in the art to whioh this invention relates that certain alterations, modificationsand changes 1nay be made, and I therefore reserve the right to 1nake such alterations, modifications, and changes as shall fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to seoure by Letters Patent,is
l. A pair of ha1nes eaoh of whieh is provided ab one of its ends Wih a bifurcated slotted portion, a link pivoted in each of said bifuroated portions, and means for oonnecting said links.
2. A pair of hames, eaoh of whioh is provided a1; its ends with a bifurcated, slotted ortion, and a link pivoted in eaoh of the slotted portions, and means conneoting said links.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presenoe of two witnesses.
