. IMPROVED BUCKLE.

m The Schedule referred to in these Lettera Patent and making part of the lame.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I,W1LLI*AM V. KAY, of Chicago, in the county of Cook, in the State of Illinois, have invented an Improved Iuckle; and I do hereby deand, consequently, has a bearing the entire length of the bar F ofthe loop, and has the lugs J K cast solid to it, and forming a part of the hook I, for the purpose of providing a support against the standards Z of the loop, and thus preventing the wedge from Working out of the same, when a thin trace is used, or an old one becomes wor In order to show distinctly the difference between the two inventions, I have drawn a red line, S, on the ings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of' this specification, `in which- Figure'l is an elevation ofthe buckle.

Figure 2, a side view of the same.

Figure 3, a perspective representation of the wedge-` tongue.

The object of myinvention is to improve the buckle for which Letters Patentwere granted to A. H. Gole, October l0, 1865, so as to adapt it to all thicknesses of traces.

A serious objection attending the use of buckles constructed according to said patent is, theliability of the wedgeshaped piece to loose out, and the inoperativeness of the buckle, consequent on such an event; and

Its nature consists in casting the wedge-tongue with lugs, or arms, extending outward far enough to bear against the standards ofthe main loop, and thus hold the tongue in place, notwithstanding the thickness or worn condition of the trace.

In order to give a correct understanding of my invention, -I have marked corresponding parts with similar letters, and will now give a detailed description.

Arepresents the plate, which is attached to the short tug; O, the loop for back-strap; E, the loop for belly-band; and F Z, the loop for the trace, constructed and arranged, 1in every respect, similar to Coles patthrough, before the trace is inserted ent, referred to, and are, therefore, not claimed as new. possible loss, after the trace is connected with the tug,

makes no provision for keeping the wedge iu place, ex-

a wedge-tongue, arranged with lugs to bear against the standards Z, as described;

The buckle cau be made with my improvement in the same manner, and ofthe same kind of material as nowA used for the purpose of' manufacturing Oo'les lugs through first.

The txace can then be put through and adjusted as desired.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

to operate 1n the loop FZ, and hold the trace in place, and is s1m1lar to the wedge used by Gole, except the hook I, audits lugs J K,.which are entirely different Witnesses: in the following respects: G. L. OHAPIN, The hook I, at the end of the wedge, is made straight, A. HAYWARD.
