Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 19, 1915.
Application led January 11, 1915. Serial No. 1,678.
To all whom t mail concern:
Be it known that I, IsArAH MCKNIGHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness- Trimmings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact de-v scription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
his invention relates to harness, and more especially to the trimmings thereof such as rings, buckles, hooks, et cetera; and the object of the same is to provide improved means for attaching such a piece of trimming (hereinafter called a ring) to the end of a harness element which ordinarily stands horizontal l (such as the hold-back strap, a trace, and the like) whereby an eX- tremely strong connection between the leather and the metal trimming is effected by the use of stitching only, and yet the connection is as nearly water-proof as may be. This object is accomplished by the means hereinafter described and claimed and as shown in the drawings wherein Figure 1 is a plan View of the. rear end of the `two members composing the harness element or strap, such, for instance, as a trace. Fig. 2 is a plan View showing these two members after they have been folded into U-shape cross section and assembled, with the fold of the outer member overlying the open upper edge of the inner member, and one tongue at the extremity of the inner member turned aside. Fig. 3 is an upper' edge view of the inner member with its parts in place around a ring or the like, the latter being shown in section; the outer member being shown in dotted lines to illus* trate the remaining parts. Fig. Lis a perspective View of all parts in place with the exception of the tongue of the outer member, and this view omits the stitching. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the finished article. Fig. 6 shows a modification. Fig. 7 is a cross section on the line 7-7 of Fig. 5. Fig. 8 is a side elevation showing how this improved compound 'strap may be attached to a hame.
I may say at the outset that while I have shown a ring R as the piece of trimming which is to be secured into this strap-end, it might be a buckle yor other member- 'ter might be of some1 other material.
preferably metal-which it isfdesired to attach to the extremity of a strap element that stands normally horizontal. Also I have herein described an outer and an inner member as composing this strap or element, and while the outer member is usually of leather and the inner' member also, the lat The finished article illustrated in Fig. 5 shows the parts as connected by means 'of stitching, but it 1s obvious that other connecting means might be employed without departing from the principle of the invention.
s Coming now to the details of the present invention, the outer member 1 is notched out as at 2 at its extremity to leave a tongue 3 at the end of the lower leaf 4f which is therefore longer than the upper leaf 5, the leaves in this View being separated by the dotted line 6 indicating the line of folding best seen at 6 in Fig. Q. The inner 1nembervllis centrally slitted at its rear end as at kv12 to produce a lower tongue 13 and an upper tongue 17, the former standing at the rear end of the .lower lea-f 14k and the upper tongue at the rear end of@ the upper leaf 15, and these two leaves being separated by the dotted line 16 indicating the line on which this member will be folded as best seen in Fig. 4. By preference the tongues 18 and 17 will be slightly shorter than the tongue 3, and all are cut off on their side faces to reduce their thickness toward their extremities as best seen atA 18 in Fig. 2, while all the tongues are also preferably cut with slightly converging edges as best seen at 8 in Fig. 1.
In assembling the outer and inner members, the latter is folded along its line 16 and in this condition is laid against the tongue 3 and the lower leaf 4c, and then the upper leaf 5 of the outer member is folded down on the line G so that Vthe parts now stand as seen in Fig. 2. Thering R 1s then brought into place and laid against the base of the tongue 17, about on the dotted line 19 in Fig. 2, and this tongue folded over it as seen in Fig. 3. The other tongue 13is then folded about on the line 2O in Fig. 2 so that it shall surround the fold 19 of the tongue 17 as best seen in Fig. 3. In other `Words, the two tongues 13 vand 17 are passed in opposite directions around the ring and around each other. In the act of making this improved strap-end, doubtless this step will be taken before the two members are assembled as shown in Figs. Q and 3, and it is quite possible that the Vparts of the inner member will be stitched or in some manner temporarily attached to each other at this time. The next step then will be to insert the member as thus far made into the outer member from below, after which the tongue 3 will be passed through the ring R as seen in Fig. 4C and carried around the bend 20 against the outer side of the leaf 14; and lastly the leaf 5 will be brought down onto the now bent backend of the tongue 3, so that the fold line 6 of the outer member overlies the open upper edge of the inner member throughout its entire length excepting where the bends 19 and 20 inclose the ring. The device is finished by stitches S or other forms of attachment as suggested above, and these may be as numerous or as strong as the necessities of the case will require. Vhen this means for attaching a piece of harness Vtrimming to a strap-end is employed, it will be clear that the ring R or other attachment will be very firmly connected with the strap, and that the latter will be internally protected against the action of rain `and other elements. In effect it is composed throughout its length of two members U-shaped in cross section, whereof the outer is inverted or reversed so that its bend overlies the open upper edge of the inner member and effectu- V ally prevents the entrance of water, snow,
and the like. In so far as possible this con: struction is followed at the strap-end where the ring or other attachment R is connected, but it is obvious that the fold line 6 in Fig. l' cannot be carried beyond the point 60 and between thatpoint and the ring R the open upper edge of the inner member must ofnecessity be exposed for a slight distance if the member R be a ring. It might, in fact, be an oval or rectangular element, in which case its cross bar around which the tongues of the inner member pass could lie much nearer to the point 60. In fact, it is not beyond the possibilities of my invention that this member could have an off-set as seen in Fig. 6 at 61, so that the off-set could extend even beyond the extremity 60 ofthe downturned outer leaf 5. In this case the slit 12 in Fig. 1 would be made deeper to give the tongues 13 and 17 greater length, and their fold lines 19 and 20 would therefore permit these tongues to be folded back around the outer bar of the off-set V61 at a. point inside orto the right of the point 60 in Fig. 6 ,where the connection would be entirely hidden and protected by the fold line 6. Thereafter no water could enter except through the open center ofthe ring R itself. This modification, however, does not permit the ring R to flex as usual. In Fig. 8 is shown a hame H to which one end of this improved compound strap is attached. This shows that the strap may have a wide variety of uses, any of which will obviously come within the scope of my invention.
lVhat is claimed is:
1. The herein described strap-end comprising inner and outer members whereof the inner is folded longitudinally so as to be U-shaped in cross section and the outer is folded longitudinally so as to of inverted U-shape in cross section and arranged to embrace the inner member, the latter being slitted at its rear extremity to form tongues whereof one is bent back and the other is bent back around the first tongue, and the outer member being formed at its rear end with a tongue which is bent back around the bends of the inner member.
2.
