BUCKLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 586,746, dated July 20, 1897.
Application iiled March 8,1897. Serial No. 626,582. (No model.)
Be it known that I, LEwis D. RANK, a citizen of the United States, residing at W'illiamsport, in the county of Lycoming and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain ncwand useful Improvements in Buckles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a 'f ull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to 1n ake and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in buckles, and more particularly to harnessbnckles; and the object thereof is to so construct the same that it will be simple, cheap, durable, strong, and easily manipulated.
lVith these and other objects in view my invention consists in the construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, as will be rst itully pointed out in the specification and then claimed.
In the drawings forminga part of this specification, and in which like symbols of reference represent corresponding parts in the several views, Figure l is a plan view of my invention, showing the same in operative posit-ion applied to a trace. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a side view of the main member of the buckle, and Fig. t is a similar View of the other member of the buckle.
A and B represent the two members forming the buckle. The memberA is a metallic frame substantially rectangular in form and having the two upper portions a a3 lying substantially in the same plane. The lower portion a3 lies in a different plane, the space between the two planes being equivalent to the thickness of the strap to which it is to be applied. This lower portion a3 has also formed depressions or bearings a for a purpose which will be presently explained. The bar A joins the two sides of the lower portion of the frame A and is adapted to hold the strap which is inserted within the same.
The member B is composed of a square portion b, which terminates in the center in journals or trunnions h2 and has a triangular tongue-plate B', at the end of which is formed the tongue or stud of the buckle b. On a bracket, also formed integral with the member B, is a frame h3, which constitutes an axle for a friction-roller D, which facilitates the insertion of the strap.
D and E are sections of a tracing to which my invention is applied, the portion E being attached to the collar or haines of the harness and the portion D beingattached to the singletree or other portion of the vehicle.
The tongue-plate B' and frame h of the member B are of quadrant shape in side View, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. The portion b' is to be attached to thc trace, and when in its operative position the tongue on the trace has a tendency to normally press the pintlcor tongue b upward or toward the strap, holding the same firmly in its place and locking it in a firm and secure manner.
The tru n nions orjournals b2 rest in the bearings a and oscillate within the same, so that the buckle may readily be thrown into or out of operative position with relation to the harness.
As will be readily seen, the two parts constituting my device may be manufactured separately and easily assembled, making a neat and eilicient buckle which will possess great strength and have the minimum number of parts.
The operation of the device is as follows: The portion b/ being attached to the strap the member A is passed over the same, and the pintles b2 are placed in the bearings a, the tongue b normally resting on the outer portion of the bar CL2 of the frame A. The other end of the strap is passed through the opening between the bars a and A and between the triangular tongue-plate B' and the bar a2, and the tongue B is passed through the perforations in the strap and through or into the keeper C. The greater the tension exerted on the strap the greater the binding force ot' the buckle.
One of the great advantages of a buckle of this kind is its use with traces and heavy harness, where great difiiculty is always found in manipulating the ordinary buckle. The stil'ness of the leather, particularly when getting old, makes it difiicult to insert the tongue in the perforations in the same. vice, however, this objection is obviated, the construction of the same being suoli that the tongue may be inserted with ease and dispatch. Furthermore, any catchin g of the reins or horses tail in the same is prevented.
Having now fully described my invention,
By my de-' IOO what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. In a buckle, the combination With the main rectangular member thereof, having upper and lower bars lying in different planes, the lower bars having a cross-piece connecting its side pieces, a second member adapted to be pivotally connected to the first, a triangular piece extending from the axis of the second member and carrying the tongue of the buckle, and a frame also extending from the axis of said member for attachment to the harness.
2. In a buckle, the combination with the main member thereof provided With bearings,
a second member having journals resting in said bearings, a triangular piece extending from the axis of the second member and carrying the tongue of the buckle, a frame also extending from the axis of said member for attachment to the harness, and a frictionroller journaled on the axis of the second member.
In testimony whereof I afix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
Ii. D. RANK.
