ADAM E. FISHER, OF HANNIBAL, MISSOURI.
CHECKING OR UNCH ECKING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 749,480, dated January 12, 1904.
Application filed April 15, 1902.
7 Missouri, have invented and produced new and useful Improvements in Checking or Unchecking Devices, of which the following isaspecificatlon which is sufliclently clear and concise j as to enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same; and .my invention consists in the parts, arrangement, improvements, shape, and combinations thereof, substantially as hereinafter shown and described and specifically set forth in the appended claim terminating this specification.
The object of my present invention is the provision of a device whereby a horse may be checked up or unchecked by the driver seated in the vehicle to which the horse isattached without the necessity of the driver leaving his seat, and still another object is the provision of a checking and unchecking device which will be neat and attractive in appearance, strong and durable in its several parts, and which can be manufactured and sold at a comparative low price.
Other objects and advantages will appear from the following description and from the drawings forming a part of this specification.
Referring now to the drawings, Figure 1 represents a top plan view of the main portion of my invention. Fig. 2 is a side eleva- Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of same, taken on the line XX of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4c is a perspective view of the same.
Similar letters and figures of reference denote and refer to like parts throughout the 1 several views.
perpendicular space of the slots 7 and 8 should be slightly greater than the strap 4 which Serial No. 102,977. (No model.)
operates therein, and said slots should have a lateral width of about double the width of the strap 4.
4 represents the checking and unchecking strap, which projects forward where it is directly or indirectly connected with the bridlebit and projects rearward to witliinreach of .the driver, where it may be secured to the whip-socket or otherwheres, as desired. The strap 4 passes through the slots 7 and 8 and is adapted to be drawn back and forth endwise throughsaid slots.
6, 6", and 6' represent longitudinal slots formed in the strap 1 at various points where desired for the purposes which will hereinafter appear.
5. represents a band permanently secured around the strap 4 for the purpose of preventing the strap 4: from being drawn farther to the rear than is necessary.
9 represents a small auxiliary slot extending into the left-hand wall of 3 and opening into the slot 8. 10 represents a wire spring secured to the left-hand edge of the strap 4, substantially as shown. This spring 10 presents an angular, forward surface and a rear shoulder at right angles to the strap 4:.
11 represents a pin with rounded upper end, the lower end being secured to a shaft which isi pi rz oted just below the inner opening of the s ot and is adapted to normally keep the pin 11 perpendicular, as shown in the drawings. It can be seen that 11 can be forced rearward at the top, so that it will lie at right angles to its position shown in the drawings, and when released the spring 12 will immediately return it to its normal position.
Arepresents a portion of a horse, B a portion of a buggy, C the harness-saddle, and D D the driving-lines, these parts being shown simply to show the relation of my invention to these parts.
It can now be seen that the driver can grasp the rear end of the strap 1, and pulling rearward on 1 it will pass through the slots 7 and 8, by which action the pin 11 will be withdrawn from the slot 6. The strap 4: is then forced over to the right in the slots 7 and 8, when the A coil-spring 12 encircles said shaft 7 I Too ' pin 11 will be disengaged from the strap and will assume an upright position at the side of the strap 4, and the strap 4 will then be free, to pass through the slots 7 and 8 and the horse will be unchecked, or it can be checked in one of the other holes 6 or 6', as desired. Desiring to check up the horse again, the line 4 is drawn rearward by the operator until the member 5 contacts with the forward part of 2, having first caused the strap to follow the left-hand edges of the slots 7 and 8, in which operation the shoulder of will have engaged the pin 11 and have caused it to have assumed a horizontal position, in which position it will be held by the line, dropping alternately into the slots in the line until the slot desired is reached, when the strap 4 is released and the pin 11 will pass up through a slot in the strap 4, as shown in Fig. 4, and the horse will thus be checked at this point or in same manner at one of the other points, as at 6 or 6'. By this arrangement it is apparent that the driver will be able to check or uncheck the horse without leaving his seat in the vehicle.
Having now fully shown and described my invention and the best mode for its construction to me known at this time, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
In a checking and unchecking device in combination, a base-plate 1 attached in the center of the harness-saddle, the portion 2 extending upward from and integral with the front end of the plate 1, the portion 3 with an auxiliary slot 9extending into the left-hand wall, said portion extending upward from and integral with the plate 1, the portions 2 and 3 having oppositely-disposed slots 7 and 8 formed therethrough, a strap 4: with slots therethrough said strap being adapted to operate through the slots 7 and 8, a band 5 secured around the strap 4:, a wire spring 10 secured to the lefthand edge of the strap 4, said spring 10 having a forward-sloping surface and a rear shoulder at right angles to the strap 4, the pin 11 with a rounded upper end with its lower end secured to a rocking shaft, the rocking shaft mounted above the plate 1 just below the inner opening of the slot 7 a coil-spring 12 encircling said shaft and adapted to normally keep the pin 11 perpendicular, and a casing 1 1 for housing said parts, all substantially as shown and for the purposes set forth- In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
