Description
Nov. 2, 1937. E. GALBREATH STIRRUP Filed Jan. 9, 1937 ATTO RN E73 WITNESS Patented Nov. 2, 1937 UNITED STATES STIRRUP Edward Galbreath, Auxvasse, M0. Application January 9, 1937, Serial No. 119,851
2 Claims.
The invention relates to a stirrup and more especially to a riding saddle stirrup.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a stirrup of this character, wherein a foot plate is arranged therein to yield so as to respond to the weight of the rider of the saddle and thus giving an easy cushion-like yielding support to the foot of such rider when in use and in this manner absorbing jars and jolts resultant while riding.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a stirrup of this character, wherein the springs for yieldably supporting the foot plate are engaged so as to exclude dirt, mud and the like accumulating about the springs which would necessitate interference with the yielding qualities of the foot plate when the stirrup is in use.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a stirrup of this character which is simple in construction, strong, serviceable, durable, reliable and effective in operation, and assuring ease and comfort to a rider when using the stirrup.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the invention and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is an elevation of a stirrup partly in section constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional View on the line 2-2 of Figure 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3--3 of Figure 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Similar reference characters indicate corre- 40 sponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the stirrup comprises the usual loop form of body or frame 5 having at its upper end a slot 6 through which 45 is trained the hanger strap or what is more commonly termed a stirrup strap of the saddle. This frame or body 5 carries at its lower end a flat cross bar I which usually is the tread piece of the stirrup. slidably fitted in this cross bar 1 are spaced upstanding stems or guide posts 8, these at the upper head ends 9 are riveted or otherwise fastened in a displaceable foot plate I0 PATENT OFFICE while surrounding the said stems or posts 8 are coiled tensioned springs II which have bearing against the bar I and plate In so that the said plate will be yieldably supported responding to the weight of the horseman or rider when the foot of the latter is contacting therewith.
The bar 1 has fitted therewith at its under side a hollowed section l2 having the upstanding wall 13 which rises above the said bar 1 and this section I2 is capped by the plate H) which is formed with a marginal depending flange l4 so that the said springs II will be housed or incased and similarly the stems or posts 8 while the latter can lower into the hollowed portion l5 of the section l2 when the said plate 10 is depressed against the resistance of the springs II for the yielding of such foot plate under the influence of the weight of a rider when the stirrup is in use. The plate ID at opposite ends is concaved or notched at I6 to accommodate the side portions of the frame or body 5 as will appear from Figure 3 of the drawing and thus in this manner the plate will be guided in its yielding movements within the stirrup assisted by the posts or stems 8 surrounded by the springs H. The foot plate yieldably supported as before set forth enables relief to the rider from jars and jolts caused in riding and also assures a tread adjustment according to the lay of the foot within the stirrup.
What is claimed is:
1. A stirrup of the kind described comprising a body frame, a displaceable foot plate slidably fitting said body frame, posts fixed in said plate and slidable in the lowermost portion of the frame, springs about said posts and yieldably holding the foot plate, and a two-part housing, one part being formed by the plate and the other part carried by the lowermost portion of the frame to enclose the posts and springs.
2. A stirrup of the kind described comprising a body frame, a displaceable foot plate slidably fitting said body frame, posts fixed in said plate and slidable in the lowermost portion of the frame, springs about said posts and yieldably holding the foot plate, a two-part housing, one part being formed by the plate and the other part carried by the lowermost portion of the frame to enclose the posts and springs, and a dished portion formed on the part carried by the frame and affording clearances for the posts on displacement of said foot plate.
