HARNESS ATTACHMENT.

Application filed September 20, 1910.
Specification of Letters Patent.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, DAVID L. Knnso and v nssnnv M. KnLso, citizens of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Pawnee and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness Attachments; and we 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.
Our invention relates to new and useful improvements in harness attachments and more particularly to rein holder attachments and our object is to provide a device for holding reins which may be easily and quickly applied to the back band.
A further object is to provide a device that shall be adapted to use the ring of the back band in the operation thereof.
A further object is to provide a device with means thereon to hold the hitch rein in addition to the guide reins.
A still further object is to provide a device which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and etlicient in operation and further one which may be applied to the back band of any set of harness no matter what its type.
Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter referred to and more particularly pointed out in the specification and claims.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this application, Figure l is a fragmentary perspective view of a back band with our improved device applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device, and, Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section as seen on line 33, Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 indicates a back band of the usual or any preferred type and 2 indicates the back band rings which are usually and in this instance preferably provided with threaded stems (not shown) which are adapted to engage threaded sockets in the back band, whereby said rings may be secured thereto. The guide reins 3 are adapted to pass through said rings 2 and itwill be seen that very often that when a driver, either in the city or in the country desires to stop his horse and leave the vehicle, it becomes necessary for some means to be provided to hold the reins and prevent the same from dangling below the horses feet and becoming tangled and trodden on. It is to this end, tl'ierefore, that we provide a spring steel plate l having an opening 5 adjacent one end thereof, said opening being adapted to receive the threaded stem of the ring as the same is entered into the back band 1, thereby removably but securely retaining said spring plate on said back band. The opposite end of said spring plate is provided with a loop 6 engaging one end of a link 7 and it will be seen that when the reins are placed upon said spring plate and the link sprung over the adjacent ring 2, said reins will be securely held.
dien the reins have been folded properly and held by our improved rein holder, the hitch rein is, of course, in use, but when the animal is being driven, it is not well to allow the hitch rein to hang loosely, so that we have also provided means on our device for the engagement and holding of the hitch rein. For this purpose, we have provided a tongue 9 formed in the plate 4. and having the free end bent upwardly, whereby the end of a hitch rein, may be easily and quickly engaged with said tongue and held thereby.
Most farmers and, in fact, almost all people living in the country, are extremely particular about the reins when not in use and usually fold the same such as shown in Fig. 1 when using a device for holding the same, so that by folding them, as shown, our device insures positive engagement and prevents slipping, but it will also be seen that our device is of such character as to be able to retain a single rein as well as if doubled. It will further be seen that we have provided a device which is inexpensive to manufacture and which can be applied to any back band now in use and further, it will be seen that the device is not alone one for retaining the guide reins, but also provides means for the retaining of the hitch rein.
That we claim is 1. A device of the character described, comprising a spring plate having a tongue struck therefrom, said plate being adapted to be carried by parts of the harness, and a link carried by said plate also adapted to engage parts of the harness.
2. A device of the character described, comprising a spring plate, means to secure one end of same to a part of the harness, and a link carried by the free end of said plate and adapted to engage the said means, whereby the reins may be held.
3. A device of the character described, comprising a spring plate, means to secure one end of same to parts of a harness, and pivotal means carried by the free end of said plate adapted to cooperate with the securing means for holding the reins.
-l:. A device of the character described, comprising a spring plate, means to secure the same to parts of a harness, pivotal means carried by said plate adapted to cooperate with said last referred to means for holding the guide reins, and additional means carried by said plate for holding the hitch rein.
5. In a device of the character described, the combination with a back band ring; of a spring plate adapted to be held by the stem of said ring and a link carried by said plate adapted to be sprung over said ring, whereby the guide reins may be held.
6. In a device of the character described, the combination with a back band ring; of a spring plate adapted to be held by the stem of said ring, a link carried by said plate adapted to engage said ring, whereby the guide reins may be held, and additional means on said plate for holding the hitch rein.
