To wl?, whom, t mary concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN VICTOR LEVY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Galveston, in the county of Galveston and State of Texas,have inventeda new and useful Stirrup, of which thefollowing is a specification. This invention relates to stirrups, and its object is to provide a simple device of this character so constructed vas to prevent the foot of a rider from becoming caught therein. A still further obj ect is to provide a stirrup which is of durable and inexpensive construction and which is free of movable parts likely to get out or order and become inoperative. i
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings is shown the preferred form of the invention.
In said drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation ofthe stirrup constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a view, partly in section and partly in elevation, of a modified form of stirrup; and Fig. 3 is an elevation of the reinforce detached.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference, 1 is the foot-plate of a stirrup, the same being of any suitable outline and having a side strip 2 extending upward from'one end thereof and merging into a top bar 3, disposed parallel with the foot-plate and having an elongated slot 4 therein. A guard-finger 5 extends downward from one end of the top bar and conforms in outline with the upper 2. A retainer .6 in the form of a lug or a ri is formed at one end of the foot-plate and is adapted to prevent the foot of the rider from slipping laterally from the plate.
The stirrup which is above described is adapted to be formed of wood, metal7 or any other desired material. In any case reinforces are employed, so as to prevent the stirrup from breaking or bending when subjected to downward pressure. When the stirrup is formed of wood, the reinforces are preferably riveted thereto. Two of these reinforces are usually employed, one of them, 7, being secured to the lower face of the top bar 3 and to the upper portion of the side strip 2, said reinforce being formed of heavy steel or other suitable material which is riveted, as at 8, so as to fit snugly against the inner faces of the parts to which it is secured and to prevent bending or breaking at those points. Another reinforce 9 is p referably arranged upon the outer face of t e side ,strip 2 and the bottom of the foot-plate l. This reinforce, as shown particularly in Fig. 3, is preferably made of heavy spring metal -norh mally bent into V shape and which when applied is spread apart, so as to fit snugly upon the outer faces of the parts 1 and 2 of the stirrup. at 10, and will exert a constant upward pressure upon the foot-plate, so as to offset any downward pressure which may be exerted upon said plate by the rider. The adjoining ends of the reinforces 7 and 9 are of course overlapped. Where the stirrup is made of 4metal,the reinforces are welded thereto, as shown in Fig. 2, so as to form a stirrup in one piece.
In using the stirrup herein described the retainer 6 is disposed upon the inner side, so that the large toe of the foot will rest close thereto. The reinforces 7 and 9 will of course prevent the stirrup from breaking or bending when subjected to unusual pressure, and should the rider be thrown he will have no trouble in releasing his foot from the stirrup because the same is provided with but one side and the foot cannot possibly become wedged therein. The finger 5 con# stitutes means for preventing the foot from being accidentally lifted out ofthe stirrup when raised from the foot-plate.
The preferred form of the invention has been set forth in the foregoing description, but I do not limit myself thereto, as Iam aware that modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit or sacrificing the advantages thereof, and I therefore reserve the right to make such changes as fairly fall within the scope of the claims.
What is claimed isl. A stirrup com rising a foot-plate, a retainer upstanding om one end thereof, a side strip upstanding from the other end thereof, a top bar extending from the side strip and overhanging the foot-plate, a downturned guard-finger extending from the top bar, a reinforce extending from the inner face ofthe top bar to the inner face of the adjoining portion of the side strip, and a reinforce extending from the outer face of the side strip and under the foot-plate.
