Description

JOHN A. WILSON, or MOREHEAD, KANSAS.
BUCKLE.
/ Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 11, 1907'.
Application filed October 23,1966. Serial No. 340,235.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN A. INILSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Morehead, in the county of Neosho and State of Kansas, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Buckles and I do hereby 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.
My invent-ion relates to buckles and more particularly to that class adapted to be used in connection with harness, and my object is to provide a buckle of this class whereby the trace of the harness may be quickly adjusted'without removing the same from the buckle.
A further object is to provide means for securing the buckle to the hanies of the harness.
Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter referred to and more particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings which are made a part of this application, Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved buckle showing the same in position upon a trace and secured to the hame-tug. Fig. 2 is an edge view thereof, and, Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view on an enlarged scale as seen from line 33 Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 indicates a tug such as is commonly used to attach the harness traces to the hames, and 2 indicates the trace which is preferably constructed of strips of leather and stitched together.
Disposed over the end of the trace 2 is a body 3 of my improved buckle which is provided throughout its length with a plurality of cross bars 4, 5, 6, and 7, some of which are provided with prongs 8 which are adapted to extend through openings 9 in the trace and prevent casual longitudinal movement of the trace through the buckle. An elongated slot 10 is formed between the cross bars 6 and 7 through which is disposed a link 11, said link comprising a bar 12 and parallel arms 13, said arms being extended at right angles to the bar 12 and integral with the ends thereof. The free ends of the arms 13 are provided with heads 14 through which are formed registering bores 15 through V which takes a locking pin 16 the lower end of said pin being provided with a lug 17, and in order to enable the lug to be inserted through the bores 15 I have provided registering recesses 18 in the bores so that when the locking pin is turned until the lug 17 is in registration with the recesses 18, the locking pin may be readily removed from the heads 14.
The object of the locking pin is to secure the buckle to the hame tug and to this end the tug 1 is provided with a loop 19 through which takes the locking pin 16, so that when the locking pin is directed through the bores in the heads 14 and the loop 19, the tug and buckle will be securely locked together.
In placing the trace in the buckle, the end of the trace is first. introduced into the opening between the cross bars 4 and 5 thence over the cross bars 5 and 6 through the link 11 and over the cross bar 7 and after the tug is properly adjusted the prongs 8 upon the cross bars 5 and 7 are inserted through registering openings 9 in the trace, after which the bores 15 are brought into registration with the loop 19 and the locking pin 16 inserted through the openings and the loop.
T 0 hold the locking pin 16 against casual rotation I have provided a lever 20 at the upper end of the locking pin to the outer end of which is secured a depending spring latch 21 which is adapted to extend into engagement with a depression 22 in the lower face of the upper arm 13 and it will be readily seen that when the latch is in engagement with the depression the locking pin 16 will be held against casual rotation and the lug 17 held out of registration with the recesses 18 and the bores 15, when, however, it is desired to remove the locking pin from the link 11, the spring latch 21 is moved out of engagement with the depression 22, and the pin 16 rotated until the lug 17 is in registration with the recesses 18.
The arms 13 are curved at their intersection with the bar 12, so that the bar can be passed through the elongated slot 1.0 and over the trace 2 and by so arranging the arms, the outer ends thereof will be substantially in line with the buckle and tug when a load is being pulled thereby. A further object in having the arms curved is to prevent the bar 12 from directing an inward pull upon the trace which would result in pulling the trace through the slot 10.
In operation when it is desired to shorten or lengthen the trace, the pin 16 is removed from the heads 14 and the link swung inward until the bar 12 is directed out of engage ment with the face of the trace when the trace can be readily removed from engagement with the prongs 8 and the buckle adjusted to any desired point upon the trac and after the adjustment has been. completed and the prongs again passed through registering openings in the trace, the heads 14 are again swung over the loop in the tug 1 and the pin 16 inserted through the heads and loop after which the pin is rotated until the lug 17 thereon is moved out of engagement with the recesses in the heads andthe latch directed into engagement with the depression 22. It will also be seen that when the link is thus brought into engagement with the tug 1 thebar 12 will hold the trace securely in engagement with the prongs 8.
It will now be seen that I have provided a buckle which can be quickly and easily inserted upon or removed from the trace and one that can be readily attached to the hame tug and it will further be seen that it will not be necessary to unduly bend the trace in order to insert the same into the buckle or adjust the same after it has once been brought into engagement with the buckle thereby obviating the danger of breaking the stitches employed in holding the parts of the trace together.
hat i claim is:
1. A buckle of the class described com; prising a body portion having a plurality of cross bars, means on said crossbars to engage and. hold a trace, a link at one end of said body and adapted to be passed through a slot in said body and engage the trace, said link having registering openings in the free end thereof, a pin adapted to be passed through said openings and. into engagement with a hame tug and means on said. pin to lock the same against casual rotation.
2. A buckle of the class described comprising the combination with a body portion having cross bars, and prongs on some of said cross bars adapted to engage and hold atrace of a link one end of which. is adapted to be passed through a slot in said body and into engagement with the trace, said link having registering openings at its free end, a locking pin adapted to be passed. through said openings, a lever at the upper end of said locking pin and a lug at the lower end thereof, and means carried by said lever adapted to engage the link and prevent casual rotation of the locking pin.
3. A buckle of the class described, comprising the combination with a body portion having a slot at one end thereof of a link one end of which is adapted to be passed through the slot, the free ends of said link having registering bores therein and recesses in said bores, a pin for said bores, a lug on the lower end of said locking pin, a lever at the upper end of said locking pin and means carried by said lever to engage the link and secure the locking pin against casual rotation.
a. A buckle of the class described comprising t-he combination with a body having a slot at one end thereof; of a link, one end of which is curved and adapted to be passed through the slot, a locking pin adapted to enter bores in the free end of said link, means at the upper end of said locking pin to hold the same against casual rotation and additional means at the lower end of said pin to prevent casual removal of the pin from the bore.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
