Description
J. G. MILLER.
HAME TUG.
Reissued Jan. 29, 1889.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN G. MILLER, OF OI'IAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS.
HAM E-TUG.
SPECIFICATION forming' part of Reissued Letters Patent No. 10,981, dated January 29, 1889.
Original No. 348,987, dated September 14, 1886. Application for reissue tiled November 5, 1887. Serial No. 254,443.
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, JOHN G. MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cham.- paign, in the county of Champaign and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Hame Tugs, which I desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States, and of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a satisfactory joint between the buckle, as tugs are usually constructed, and the clip or eye by which the tug is attached to the haine. To obviate the tendency of the leather tug to break at such points, it becomes important to provide a joint between the hame and buckle constructed of metal. To protect the horse from being chafed by the tug, it is of great importance that this joint should be flexible in an outward direction only. Castings or metallic joints are known and in use of a form in which the front and rearward sections of the tug are attached to bars on opposite sides of a loop, in which exion may occur in either direction, and is thus attended by `the objections above referred to.
Myinvention is such that the parts to which the tug-sections are attached have a relation to the loop that prevents the inward lieXion, and yet supplies all the requisites of such a joint, affording also greater facility for inserting the end of the leather tu g through the loop than has heretofore been obtained, as hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specication, 'Figure l an edge elevation embracing a section of a tug with the parts in normal alignment. Fig. f2 is the same with a portion deliected. Fig. S is a perspective ot' a metallic section of the tug.
A represents the metallic tug-section, the formation of which constitutes the chief element of my improvement. A buckle, C, of wellknown construction, connects the rear portion, D, of the tug with the front section, which latter consists of the division A, abovev named, and an intermediate division, B. The metallic section A is adapted to receive and have riveted or otherwise secured to it a clip,
bin the plane, or practically so, of the straight portion of the plate, and at a suitable distance inwardly from loop a, serves as a means for pivotally connecting division A with division B, thus division A being considered as a lever in which clip E, as attached to the hame, is the fulcruni and the connection at bar b the power. It gives loop c as a weight, wherein a tension of the tug causes the loop to bear down against the end C of the rear part buckle, C, of the tug. It is thus obvious that when the positions of loop a and bar b are relatively correct the loop serves under tension of the tug to bind the end C', as shown in Fig. l. This, as apparent, serves to prevent ileXion of the joint, excepting in one direction, as beforev stated. It is also obvious, as indicated in Fig. 2,that flexion of the joint b may be made in adjusting section C with relation to the front sections, in which the loop a is thrown outward, and ample room thus afforded for the insertion of end Owithout the obstruction olfered by ordinary loops. Thus bya construction of the plate A so that the draft in each direction is from a point or points at one side only of the loop the latter maybe extended to facilitate the insertion of the end of the Itug-section, and also by this construction the inward flexion, as before stated, is prevented.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to protect by Letters Patent,
A metallic hametug section, A, to form the portion of the draft-tug adjacent to the hame, and consisting of a iiat rectangular frame or body portion having one of its ends adapted 190 receive a Suitable clip, whereby to secure for pivotallyattaehing to said section the rearthe section to theV hame, the opposite end of Ward leather portion 0f the tug, substantially Said section being bent 0r curved upwardly as described. to form a rigid loop, a., and a 'transverse bar, b, J OHN G. MILLER. rigidly aixed in the frame 0r. bodyvportion In presence 0fintermediate the loop and the llame-attaching VALTER E. PRICE, end of the section, which bar aords a means JOHN YORKSHIRE.
