tion, the pull of the rein, instead of being, as
heretofore, considerably above the base, where-
by it is easily bent, and sometimes even broken,
is at the base, where the hook is strongest.
5 The hook K is intended for use on pad-trees
where it is not desirable to carry the back-
strap forward to the hame, but to have it stop
at the yoke and attach to the crupper-loop
back of the book K, which latter is cast as an
1o open loop crosswise of the yoke, instead of
lengthwise, as shown, of the loop B, the object
being to have a hook provided where the nut is
dispensed with,for use on a folded pad,where
the nut would be objectionable as liable to in-
15 jure the back of the animal.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure
by Letters Patent, is-
1. An adjustable harness-pad and saddle-
tree comprising, in combination, the yoke A
20 and hinged plates E, formi ng the outside finish,
and whereby the use of inner or intermediate
plates or terret-nuts is dispensed with, sub-
stantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. An adjustable harness-pad and saddle-
25 tree comprising, in combination, the yoke A,
a hook, K, formed upon it as a permanent part
of the same, and hinged plates forming with
the yoke the outside finish, and whereby the
use of inner or intermediate plates or terret-
30 nuts is dispensed with, substantially as and
for the purpose set forth.
3. In a harness-pad and saddle-tree, the com-bination, with the plates E, of terrets HI, form-
ing permanent parts of the plates, substan-
tially as and for the purpose set forth. 35
4. In aharness-pad and saddle-tree, the yoke
A and plates E, provided with transverse ele-
vations G, and connected with the yoke by
means of hinge-joints, substantially as and for
the purpose set forth. 40
5. In aharness-pad and saddle-tree, the yoke
A, provided with slots C, and platesE, having
transverse elevations G, and hooks D, to enter
the slots, substantially as and for the purpose
set forth. 45
6. Inaharness-padand saddle-tree, the yoke
A, provided with the loop B and grooves r, and
plates E, having transverse elevations G, and
connected with the yoke by means of hinge-
joints, substantially as and for the purpose set 50
forth.
7. The combination of a yoke, A, having
slots C, and provided with aloop, B, and grooves
r, plates E for the pads to be secured upon
their under surfaces,and provided upon their 55
upper surfaces with terrets H', cast thereon,
and with hooks D, to enter the slots in the
yoke, and transverse elevations G, to lock the
yoke when hooked, substantially as described.
