Halters.

JAMES THORNTON AND EMMIT G. LATTA, OF GENESEE, YORK.
IMPROVEMENI IN HALTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 130,604, dated August 720, 1872.
' set forth.
In the drawing, Figure l is a perspective view of a halter embodying` our improvements. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the trimmings detached. Fig. 3 shows a moditied form of one of the trimmings; and Fig. 4 represents one method of uniting the straps.
Similar letters of reference indicate v like parts in all the figures. Y
Our improvements relate to that class of halters in which buckles are almost entirely dispensed with and the straps are secured together by riveting .to a frame or trimming. These trimmings are so constructed that three straps are fastened byone rivet; and the rst part of our invention consists in the construction ofthe trimmings with sunken transverse and longitudinal bars or back plates, so that each strap passes over and under a bar, whereby the central rivet is relieved of strain.
In Fig. 1, A, B, and C represent trimmings cast with a transverse bar, a, and alon gitudinal back plate, b, both sunk below the surface of the outer frame. It will be observed that the ends of three straps are brought together in eachof these trimmings, and are secured to each other and to the trimmings by a rivet, c, passing through the straps and through a rivet-hole formed in the back plate b, and that each strap pulls over one of the bars a b and under one side of the frame of the trimming, thus relieving the rivet, in great Ineasure, from strain, and making a very strong connection.
the chin-strap is allowed to play. The tug is secured in the upper eye or loop, trimming, while the lower attachment of the tie-strap.
In halters as heretofore made it was necessary to unbuckle the crown-strap at lo in order to apply the halter, and then throw the end of the strap over the head and again buckle it. This is often attended with considerable z, of the one, l j, is for the trouble and loss of time, especially when it is attempted at night, in the absence of a light, or when the hands are benumbed with cold. IV e obviate this object-ion by providing one of the trimmings E on the cheekstrap with an eye, l, to receive a snap attached to one end of the throat-latch, as shown in Fig. 1, so that,
in applying the halter the crown-strap is not unbuckled, and it is only necessary to disconnect the snap of the throat-latch from the eye l, and then renew the connection after the halter is in place. Thus the buckle in the crown-strap becomes only useful for adjusting the length ofthe strap to adapt itto different animals.
In Fig. 3 is shown a form of trimming which may be substituted for those marked B and O. The modification consists in the form of the sunken back plate, as clearly shown. 1t is observed that four straps may be secured in this trimming with one rivet.
Y Fig. 4 represents the ends of three straps secured together in a trimming by stitching n n, instead of riveting to the back plate.
By these improvements ahalter fully equal as to strength, and superior for convenience and appearance, to those in common use -is produced at a greatly-reduced cost 5 .because the trimmings are all cast without a core, short straps or scraps of leather arentilized, and the parts are put together with rapidity and little labor. Those who have practically tested the halter pronounce in its favor.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The trimmings A B O, cast with a transverse and a longitudinal sunken bar, a b, as
shown, forming an end-loop and side-loops for the passage of. the straps, which are secured together and to the trimming by means of a rivet, in the manner described.
2. The trimming D, forming the connection temeon connectingthe crown and cheek straps and the throat-latch, as herein shown and described.
To the above specification of our invention We have signed our naines this 15th day of April, 1872.
` JAMES THORNTON.
EMMIT Gr. LATTA.
