G. A. BULLES.
NECK YOKB.
APPLICATION FILED NOV.11, 1909.
965,153. N Patented July 26, 1910.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE A. BULLES, 0F AURORA, ILLINOIS.
NECK-YOKE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE A. BULLns, citizen of the United States, residing at Aurora, in the county of Kane and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Neck-Yokes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in neck yokes and similar devices and espe cially in the means for attaching same to vehicle poles or other parts of the draft appliances of vehicles.
The especial object of the improvements which form the subject matter of this application for patent is to provide a neck yoke which can be quickly and easily applied to a pole, and which will have the desired flexibility without the objections common to neck yokes where they are supportedfrom a single point midway their ends.
A further object is to provide neck yoke attaching means which will afford a safe and secure attachment to the pole and in which the strain will be distributed over a greater area of the pole than where the attachment is at a single point, and to provide such means that the neck yoke will be held in a horizontal position thus avoiding the tilting which is characteristic of neck yokes that are supported on the pole by a single ring or link.
Having these and other objects of general utility in view, I have produced the neck yoke shown in the preferred form in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this application and contains the following briefly described figures:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a neck yoke constructed according to one embodiment of my invention; Fig. 2 is a view partly in section of the middle portion of the neck yoke showing the attaching links in operating position to receive a pole; Fig. 3 is a cross-section on the line 33 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a fragmentary elevational view of the middle portion of the neck yoke showing the links in their inoperative position.
Referring to the details of the drawings the neck yoke 5 is shown as provided with the end thimble 6 to receive the usual breast straps and 7 represents a sleeve of suitable Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed. November 11, 1909.
Patented July 26, 1910.
Serial No. 527,417.
metal which surrounds the middle portion of the neck yoke to reinforce or strengthen same. This sleeve is provided with holes in its under side and near its end to receive the screw eyes 8 which enter the neck yoke proper as clearly indicated in Fig. 2. Inserted in each of the eyes 8 is an elongated link formed with a narrow or contracted neck 9 and an expanded or cylindrical portion 10. These links are slightly bent so as to lie closely together when overlapped and when thus assembled together form a co1nplete circular opening 11 which is adapted to receive the pole or other device which may be inserted therein.
WVhen the links are not in use or operative engagement with a pole they will fall apart by gravity as indicated in Fig. 4 but when together and encircling the vehicle pole they will form braces for each other which will tend to prevent the side motion of the neck yoke except to a limited degree. It will also be apparent that the pole cannot move upwardly relative to the neck yoke or the latter downwardly relative to the pole. Inasmuch as the weight of the pole is distributed at two points on the neck yoke instead of at one point as is customary in devices of this kind, it will be apparent there will be less liability of the neck yoke breaking.
Other advantages incident to this construction will be apparent to those skilled in the art and need not be mentioned in detail. It will be apparent also that other means than the eyes 8 may be resorted to for attaching the links to the neck yoke or sleeve 7 such modifications being clearly within the scope of my invention.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to obtain by Letters Patent, is
1. In combination with a neck yoke, a pair of attaching links, each having portions adapted to receive a vehicle tongue and said portions so arranged as to register and form a ring completely embracing said pole.
2. In combination with a neck yoke, two elongated links connected with the neck yoke at spaced intervals, each of said links having a portion adapted to receive a vehicle pole and said portions of both links adapted to register when assembled and form a complete ring to receive the vehicle pole.
3. In combination With a neck yoke, a pair of links swingingly connected With said neck yoke and spaced apart at their points of connection each of said links having a portion adapted to receive a vehicle pole and said links adapted when assembled to have said pole receiving portions overlie each 10 other and form a complete ring to receive the vehicle pole.
In testimony whereof I aliix my signa ture in the presence of two Witnesses.
