SPECIFIGATIGN fomnng part of Letters Patent No. 696,533, dated April 1, 1902.
Application filed September 26, 1901. Serial No. 76,663. (No model.)
F LVZZ whom t may concern.-
Beit known that I, ARTHUR L. ARCHAM- 'BEAUL'lg a citizen of the United States, residing at Stockton, in the county of San Joaquin and State of California,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVinker- Stay Fasteners and Holders; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to improvements in winker-stay fasteners for attaching winkerstays to bridle-blinds.
The object of the invention is to do away with the practice of sewing the stay to the blind and to provide a mechanical fastening which will effectually prevent the loosening or tearing away of the stay from the blind under Wear or strain or under the pull exerted when the horse rubs his head against a surface.
lJVith this and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis an elevational view ofa blind and winker-stay equipped with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section taken through the blind, winker-stay, and fastener. Fig. 3 is a detailview of the fastener-or holder detached, and Fig. dis aviewshowinga modification in which the fastener is formed as part of the reinforcing-plate of the blind.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the numeral l represents a bridleblind formed in the usual manner of two side pieces or plies 2 and 3 of leather and an interposed metallic reinforcing plate il, which maintains the blind in proper shape, and 5 represents the winker-stay.
In carrying my invention into practice I provide a metallic holding or fastening plate 6, provided at its upper end with a guide-slot 7 and having its said upper end bent downwardlyto forman embracinghook S. The body portion of the plate is slitted and a portion of the metal displaced to form an outwardly and downwardly projecting tongue 9. In apply ing the fastening to the blind to .attach the winker-stay thereto the plate G is located against the outersurface of one of the leather plies 2 or 3, being shown in the present instance as arranged to bear against the outer surface of the ply 3, and its tongue 9 is passed through perforations in said ply2 andthrough corresponding perforations in the reinforcingplate 4 and connecting end of the stay 5 and bent downward and clenched against said stay to hold the parts rigidly united. The upper end of the plate 6 stands in line with or a little above the upper edges of the plies 2 and 3 and the hook 8 bent over toward the ply 2, so that the slot 7 comes on a line between the said ply 2 and the reinforcing-plate 4t. The connecting end of the stay 5 passes downwardly through the slot 7 in the plate 6 and lies between the ply 2 and reinforcingplate 4t andis connected With the tongue 9 in the manner heretofore described, so as to be firmly clamped in position and held securely against withdrawal. The hook S vafter the stay has been passed through the slot 7 is brought over beyond the outer surface of the leather ply 2 and bent downwardly, so as to bear against the same, whereby the upper edges of the plies 2 and 3 are held between the plate 6 and hook S and clamped against the interposed metallic reinforcing-plate 4. By this construction it will be seen that a simple,safe, and secure fastening is provided, which holds the parts in intimate engagement and prevents loosening or detachment of the stay 5 against all ordinary pulling strains. In the ordinary construction of harness-blinds the end of the stay 5 is connected to the blind by stitching it to the leather portions of the blind7 rendering the fastening insecure and adapted to loosen or pull out under ordinary service, and especially when the horse tosses his head or rubs the blind against a surface, setting up a pulling strain, under which the stitches are liable to loosen and the end of the stay to pullout or become torn away from the blind. My invention obviates this objection in a simple and effective manner and holds the stay secure to the blind in a much rmer and securer manner than is use of stitches.
In the modification of the invention shown 4t the holder or fastener is formed as attainable by the in Fig.
IOO
an integral part of the `metallic reinforcingplate 4 by providing said plate with an offset portion 10, having the guide-slot 7 and adapted to be bent down to form the hook 8 and by slitting and displacing a portion of the metal of the plate below said offset portion to form the tongue 9. When this embodiment of the invention is employed for securing the stay, it will of course be understood that the hook Sis bent over to engage the leather ply 2, while the Winker-stay passes downward through the slot 7 and lies between said ply and the reinforcing-plate, as hereinbefore described.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, and advantages of the invention will be readily understood without a further extended description, and it will be seen that the invention provides a fastening which will hold the winker-stay firmly against casual displacement.
` Changes in the forni, proportion, and minor details of construction may be made WithinA the scope of the invention without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. In -a Winker-stay fastening, and in combination with a winker-stay having a slit formed therein, a plate formed with an integral tongue adapted to be passed through said slit and clenched to hold said stay in place, and bent at its upper end to form an 'integral hook slotted for the passage of the stay, substantially as described.
2. In a winker-stay fastening, the combination with a bridle-blind comprising leather plies and a reinforcing-plate inserted between said plies; of a winker-stay having its connected end passed downwardly between one of the plies and said reinforcing-plate and slitted, and a fastener consisting of a metallic plate bearing against one of the plies and provided with an integral tongue projecting through said ply, the connecting-plate and the slit in the stay and clenched to hold said stay in position and further provided at its upper end with an integral hook having a guide-slot through which the stay projects, said hook being bent over the upper edges of the plies and reinforcing-plate and down against the surface of the ply opposite that against which it bears for clamping the parts together, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
