UNITED OLIVER I. LANGWORTHY, OF NORTONVILLE, KANSAS.
HORSE-COLLAR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 392,208, dated November 6, 1888.
Application filed May 26, 1888. Serial No. 275,174. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, OLIVER I. LANG- WORTHY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Nortonville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horse-0ollars, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to horse-collar'stiffeners or supports, and the object is to provide a device of this class which will strengthen and stiffen the collar and prevent it from breaking.
A further object of the invention is to provide a horse-collar stiffener or support possessing advantages in point of simplicity, inexpensivencss, durability, and general efficiency.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a horse-collar having my invention ap-, plied thereto. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional View taken on the line :10 m, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 isasimilar view on the line y y, Fig. 2. Figs. 5 and 6 are detail perspective views. Fig. 7 is a trans verse sectional view.
Corresponding parts in the figures are de noted by the same letters of reference.
Referring to the drawings, A designates a horse-collar of ordinary construction and formed with the usual groove, a.
B designates a spring-loop corresponding in contour to the collar and adapted to be seated in the groove a. The lower part, b, of this spring-loop is approximately semicircular in cross section and is preferably provided with inwardly-proj ectin g short studs 1) 12 while the arms I) b are provided with concave outer faces, so as to prevent interference with the heme-sticks. This spring-loop is preferably secured to the collar by means of inwardly-proo jecting points or spurs (l 0, provided at the ends thereof and at right angles thereto, which are forced into the collar and retain the loop in position thereon. The loop is perforated near its ends, through which it can be stitched to the collar.
In some instances it may be found desirable to use in connection with my improved loop B a spring-clasp, D, (clearly illustrated in Fig. 5,) which is adapted to embrace the bottom portion of the collar and conforms in contour thereto. This clasp is preferably recessed at its adjoining edges, as shown at d d, forming projections d d and d d through the former of which are provided eyes (1 (1 adapted to be engaged by the studs 0 to removably secure the spring-loop and clasp together.
The operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which it appertains. The clasp is sprung over the bottom of the horse-collar and serves to prevent breakage thereof at that point, which often occurs, and when carriageharuess is used the clasp prevents the polestrap from wearing the collar. By the use of the spring-loop the entire collar is strengthened and stiffened, and it also serves to retain the natural shape of the collar.
It is obvious that in some instances either the spring loop or clasp may be employed separately, if desired or found preferable.
I claim as my invention 1. In a horse-collar stiffener and support, a spring-loop conforming in contour to the collar and having concave outer sides, whereby interference with the hames is obviated, said loop being provided with pointsor spurs and perforations at its ends for securing the same to the collar, substantially as set forth.
2. In a horse-collar stiffener and support, a spring-loop conforming in contour to the collar and having concave outer sides, whereby interference with the hames is obviated, said loop being provided with points or spurs and perforations at its ends for securing the same to the collar and with inwardly -projecting lugs at the bottom portion adapted to engage a spring-clasp at the bottom of the collar, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
OLIVER I. LANGWORTHY.
