IMPROVEMENT IN WHIP-MOUNTING, m The Schedule referred tc in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Tov all lwhom vit mwy concern:

Be it known that I, JAMns field, Hampden county, made certain new and u Mounting; and I doh is a full and cleardescription thereof, r had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

In the drawings` Figure l is a View of th improved head-mounting.

Figure 2 is a view showing the parts of the mounting in detail.

My improvements relate whips, such as are ordinaril consist in forming this he simple manner, greatl manufactured article.

Ordinarily, this mounting is formed of a is placed over the but-end of ythe Whip, projects and encircles the stock to a distance of about two inches from the end. This cap is manufactured at considerable cost, as it has to be drawn out, or else and soldered together by a long and R. GILLETT, of West State of Massachusetts, have seful Improvements in Whipereby declare that the following e but-end of a whip with my to the head-mounting of y used for carriages; and afl-mounting in a new 'and y cheapening the cost of the cap, which and the ange tedious process.

In my improvements or cap, A, which may be made in of any material suitable,

,however, I form a solid head various styles, and such as wood, horn, bone, or

eference being metal. This is slipped over the extreme end of the stock, and may be clinched there, if of metal, by dint ing the surface into the stock.

The ange of my head, I form of a taperedeylinder, B, and slip it over the whip at the smaller end.

. vThe sleeve so formed is then sliddown to the butend of the stock, where the .lower portion ts over the ange of the cap, A, and remains tightly fixed.

By this means I obtain a very simple and neat headmounting, having the advantages of cheapness and easy arrangement uponthe stock construction of these heads them lit tightly over the b preserve their tapering for smaller end of the cyli over the largest parto possible,

, for, in the ordinary solid ut of the whip, and still m, as, in that case, the der would hate to be forced the whip-stock, which is imwithout making the head to iit loosely.

Now, having described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the arranged together, substan Shown, upon the but of a ing the head-mounting cap, A, and sleeve B, when tially in the manner herein whip, for the purpose of formthereof.
