NITED STATES ROBERT SPENCER, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
. IIMPRCVEMENTIN HARNESS-SADDLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 71,745, dated January 4, 1876; application filed April 17, 1875.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ROBERT SPENCER, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Harness-Saddle;- and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of myharness saddle, as constructed with the elastic steelplate spring. Figs. 2 and 3 are cross-sections, showing the arrangement of the steel spring to the bearings and trimmings; Fig. 4, aplan view of the steel-plate spring; Fig. 5, acrosssection of the spring, showing flanges turned and Fig. 6, a cross-section of the spring, showing the spring modified with corrugations; Fig. 7, a cross-section, showing the arrangement of the crapper-loop with the water-hook and main plate.
The object of this invention is to increase the flexibility of a harness-saddle, so as to cause the same to automatically adjust itself to the horses back,- and at the same time render its construction capable of greater strength durability, and. lightness. It consists in the combination, with the bearings and trimmings of a harness-saddle, of a thin main plate of elastic steel securely attached to, and worked up with, the other parts of the saddle. It also consists in the peculiar construction of the crapper-loop, in combination with the screwthreaded stem of the water-hook, as hereinafter more fully described.
In the drawings, A represents a harnesssaddle provided with myimproved steel-spring plate B. The said plate may be made either plain or corrugated, and with or without flanges upon the sides which are turned up as in Figs. 2, 3, and 6, or down as in Fig. 5.
I am aware otthe fact that sheet-metalplates have been used in the construction of saddles, but these, possessing little or no elasticity, are soon bent out of shape, and have no adaptation to the different horses. My steel-springplate not only allows the two sides of the saddle to spring either in or out, as the case may be, but gives to the saddle also a great degree of torsional elasticity, which adapts the saddle to the peculiar motion of the horse in traveling, and prevents, to a great extent, the galling of the horses back.
O is the crupper-loop, which is extended forward and has a unit, a, formed on the same out of one and the same piece of metal. This said nut receives the screw-threaded stem 7) of the water-hook D, and by means of the said connection the water-hook, crupper-loop, and
main plate of the saddle are all securely locked togetherwithout the use of an independent nut. the parts can never become loosened or detached, as they may when an independent nut is used, for the crapper-loop, being held in place by the crupper, cannot turn, and the water-hook being held in place by its rein it cannot turn, and there is no third fastening device to become loosened.
Having thus describe my invention, what I claim as new is- 1. The combination, with the bearings and trimmings of a harness-saddle, of a steel-plate spring, as and for the purpose described.
' 2. The crapper-loop 0 having a nut, a, formed out of one and the same piece, in combination with the main plate B and the waterhook D, having a screw-threaded stem, sub- ROBT. SPENCER. Witnesses:
