ABRAM OWEN, OF TEXANA, TEXAS.
HARNESS-LOOP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,894, dated February 15, 1881.
Application filed September 13, 1880. (No model.)To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ABRAm OWEN, a citizen
of the United States, resident at Texana, in
the county of Jackson and State of Texas,
5 have invented certain new and useful Im-
provemenuts in Harness-Loops; and I do here-
by 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 ap-
to pertains to make and use the same, reference
being had to the accompanying drawings, and
to letters or figures of reference marked there-
on, which form a part of this specification.
This invention has relation to harness-loops;
15 and it consists in the features of construction
and combination hereinafter fully described,
and particularly pointed out in the claim.
Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a har-
ness-loop embodying the improvements in my
20 invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal
sectional view of the loop and straps, and
Fig. 3 is a side view with the straps removed.
The object aimed at in this invention is to
dispense with the leather loops now comnnoly
25 used on harness, bridles, and the like by sub-
stituting therefor the metal loop shown in the
accompanying drawings, the construction of
which I will now proceed to describe, refer-
ring to the drawings by letters of reference.
30 A designates a lower loop, and B an upper
loop, and C is a base common to both. The
base is extended at D to form a flange, which
is provided on its upper face with a button, F.
The loop A has a knife-edge, a, which extendsslightly within the loop B, which is the larger 35
of the two, in a vertical direction.
The straps G and H are inserted in the com-
bined loop in the following manner: The strap
G is perforated and is passed straight, through
the loop A, alnd the perforation is slipped over 40
the button F. The strap H passes through
the loop B above the strap G, and is not fast-
ened.
This loop may be used on bridles, harness,
and all other places where the ordinary 45
leather loop has been used, and is much more
readily secured in place than by the stitching
employed with the leather loop, and is more
durable when once affixed. Besides it maybe
removed from one portion of the harness to 50
another, and possesses other obvious advan-
tages not possessed by the leather loop.
Having thus fully described my invention,
what I claim as new, and desire to secure by
Letters Patent of the United States, is- 55
As an improvement in harness - loops, the
herein-described metal loop, consisting of the
loops A anti B and the flange D, provided
with the button F, constructed, combined, and
operating substantially as and for the pr- 60o
poses set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature
in presence of two witnesses.
ABRAM OWEN.
