MATTHEW oLIN-ToN, or NEW YORK, N. Y.
Letters Patent No. 98,229, dated December 28, 1869.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making' part of th same --ciiicatiom This invention relates to a new'and improved harness-saddle, of that class which is designed to support the shafts or thills of a two-wheel vehicle, such as a cart, gig, `85e., and is constructed sov as to have la good, bearing-surface. on the back of the animal.
The invention consists in a. novel construction of the saddle, as hereinafter fully shown and described, whereby thesame is rendered seltladjusting, and made to conform to the movement of the animal, and at all times adjust itself properly to the shapeof the back of the animal.
.ln the accompanying,r sheet of drawings-v Fignre l is a plan or top view of my invention.
Figure 2 is a Arear view, and
Figure 3, an inverted plan of the same.
Similarletlels of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several tignres.-
Tov enable those 4skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention, I will proceed to describe it.
A A represent two blocks, which may be of wood, and of a, size corresponding to pads B B, .for the back of the draught-annual to which the saddle is to he ap-Y plied, the pads being attached to the blocks by loops, strings, or other suitable means.
These blocks A are' covered by plates C, which may be of sheet-metal, japanned, it' desired,.or polished bright, said plates being screwed or tacked to the blocks, and projecting a little beyond the same all around. Y
The two blocks A A are connected by a curved dat metallic bar, D, the curvature forming a part of a cir-- cle, as shown in tig. 2, and having a loop, or ring, a, at cach end, to which the belly-band is attached.
The bar D is attached to the blocksA A by pivotvbolts b, which pass down loosely through holes in D, and through the centres of metallic plates E E, which rest or bear on the cover C of the blocks, the plates being concave at their under sides, so that their ends will bear on the covers U, the bar D resting or bearing on the central prominent pruts of E E, as shown clearly in g. 2.
The bolts b also pass througli the blocks A A, and
may have a screw-nut and washer on their lower ends,
or have a washer and head below the latter, the upper ends of the bolts being headed, to retain the bar D, but not to prevent or interferen the least with the free workingr or movement of the pad-blocks A.
By this arrangement a sort of universal joint is other suitable material.
obtained, which will allow of each block and pad work- ,ing freely, to conform to the motion of the animal, and also admit ofthe two parts of the saddle conforming to the shape of the back of 4the animal.
Besides this bar D, the' two parts or blocks A A, with their attached pads, are connected by a bar, F,
the ends of which are secured to the blocks by pivotbolts l d, which pass loosely through the bar F, and have heads ou their upper ends.
This bar F preserves the parallelism of the two parts of the saddle, retaining them always in a proper relative position, one with the other, vsothat the saddle may be put on and taken o' from the back of the animal with the greatest facility, equally so as an ordinary harness-saddle.
' G represents the turret-rings, through which ythe.
reins pass H is the crnpper-st-rap and l, the check-rein hook, the latter being attached to, or formed on the front end of a bar, J, which is' pivoted tothe bar D, and the former fitted in a loop,
g, to receive the chains or straps which holdup the` shafts or thills of the vehicle.
The pads l5 B may be stuffed with curled hair, or Hair would probably be the preferable material.
From the above description it will be seen that the two parts of the saddle will be allowed to work or move freely, tbrward or backward, and upward or downward, and thereby conform to the motion or movement of the animal, and, at the same time, ad-
' just itself to the shape -of the back of the animal.
The latter, therefore, will not be fatigued, jaded, or annoyed in any way under the pressure or weight of the saddle, nor liable to be chafed `or galied by any friction of the same.
The invention also possesses the advantage of economy, as they may be constructed at a less cost than the ordinary!cart-saddles inf use, and may be repaired, when they require it, at a very moderate expense Having thus described my invention, l What I claim as neu/,and desire to secure by .Let ters Patent, is-
The padded blocks A A, connected by the curved bars D F, in connection with the curved rod K, iitted on bar D, all constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
