UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JESSE D. PADG-ITT, OF DALLAS, TEXAS, ASSIGNOR TO PADGITT BROS. COMPANY, OF
DALLAS, TEXAS, A CORPORATION OF TEXAS.
HARNESS-LOOP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 23, 1910.
Application filed January 8, 1906. Serial No. 295,128.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, Jnssn D. PADGITT, a citizen of theV United States of America, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness- Loops, of which the following is such a full,
clear, and exact description as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
This invention relates to means for connecting the trace, back band and belly band of a harness and the object is to produce a connection which will not cause a bulged unsightly appearance of the harness, which will be free of complication in its construction and arrangement, and which will securely hold the several parts in their proper relative positions. This object is attained by the use of the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings and the invention consists in certain novel features of the same as will be hereinafter first fully described and then particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawings, Figure l is a erspective view of a portion of a harness slowing the trace, back band and belly band connected in the manner contemplated by my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken transversely through the trace and layer strap and showing the loop in elevation. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the loop.
The trace, A, back band, B, and belly band, C, are of theusual form and proportions.
In carrying out my invention, I place against the outer face of the trace a loop, D, having a liat back or rear side, as shown at E, and consisting of a single integral structure comprising a central narrow flat bar or shank, F, from the outer face of which a central pin, G, projects at a right angle. At its extremities, the central narrow bar or shank is provided with the narrow eyes, H, which have straight parallel sides at right angles to the bar and semicircular ends and are disposed in upwardly and downwardly extending planes at obtuse angles to the plane of the bar. Immediately over the ends of the bar, the sides of the eyes are formed to present square shoulders,
I, at right angles to the o-uter surface of the bar to engage against opposite edges of the layer strap, J, and thereby prevent twisting of the loop.
The loop is placed against the outer side or face of t-he trace with the central bar arranged transversely of the trace. The layer strap is then brought over the central bar with its edges in contact with the parallel shoulders of the end eyes and the central pin of the loop passing through a perforation in the strap, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The layer strap is then secured permanently to the trace by stitching alongl its edges, as indicated by broken lines in Fig. l, this operation firmly securing the loop in place as the central pin prevents the loop from sliding along the strap and the stitches hold the layer strap against the trace close to the edges of the bar While the parallel square shoulders on the end eyes prevent twistingof the loop by engaging the upper and lower edges of the strap. The billets of the back band and belly band are passed through the end eyes and are fastened in the usual manner.
My invention provides a strong rigid connection between the trace and the back and belly hands without detracting from the sightliness of the harness. As the ends of the loop project away from the outer face of the trace, the edges of the trace are left smooth and fiat so that there is no irritation lof the horse and as the central bar or shank is narrow, thin, straight and flat there is no unsightly bulge of the layer strap. The bar is hidden between the trace and the layer strap and the end eyes appear close to the edges of the layer strap so that the finished harness has a neat ornamental appearance. The disposition of the end eyes holds the back band and belly band out of contact with the trace and at right angles to the same. The ends and entire inner' surfaces of the eyes are round so that cutting or chafing of the bands is avoided while the sides of the eyes, being straight and close together, prevent twisting of the bands and keep them flat and smooth.
My device is designed specially for fine double carriage harness. In the harness equipped with my invention, the trace lies flat against the animal and the ends of the back and belly band are brought close to the trace so that there are no unsightly gaps or open spaces between the edges of the trace and the ends oi"- the bands. At the same time, the ends of the bands are held 0E the trace so that no ridges or lumps are formed in the trace to irritate the animal or mar the appearance of the harness. The layer strap is permanently secured to the trace and over the central bar of the loop and twisting of the strap or a shifting of the loop relatively to the strap is positively prevented by the central pin and the square shoulders on the end eyes. No rivets are required and no fastening of any kind is inserted through the loop. A wide trace and a narrower layer strap may be used without any fear of out ting` or defacing the trace and a desirable finish may thus be given the harness as the narrower layer strap imparts a pleasing appearance thereto.
It will be observed that by forming the l shank thin and narrow, and connecting the saine to the rear sides of the eyes, which are projective angularly therefrom, the bottom lel sides, which project at right angles beyond the side of said shank, the angular re- 1 lation of the eyes to the shank forming abutting shoulders of one of the sides of the eyes their entire length, on the face side of the shank only, and a pin projecting from the face of the shank intermediate the eyes.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
