IMPROVEMENT lN HALTER-BUCKLES AND RINGS.

, The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and part of the same.

new Improvements in Halter-trimmings for Harness- Makers, of which the following is a specification.

He'retofore the trimmings of halters have been so made as to require a considerable amount of workto attach them to the leather straps that compose the halter, which is done by sewing the straps thereto.

By our invention-we so construct the trimmings as to be able to attach all the parts together by the trim inings themselves by means of the buckles forming a part of the said trimmings, as hereinafter described.

1 The followingis a description of the construction and application of our improvement:

The crown trimming, shown at Figure 1 in the drawing, which forms a part of this description, consists of a metal casting (or it can be of wronghtmetal) forming three, moreor less, buckles, attached at their bases atpropcr angles to each other, as clearly represented in fig.1. These buckles connect the crown-strap with the throat-band and side bands of the halter by simply buckling the straps into the crown trimmings, as shown by the dotted lines in the drawing, representingthe straps composing a halter.

, Thetrinnnings for the nose-band and chin-strap are seen at Figure 2, and are constructed similar to the crown trimmings, fig. 1, the .tlifiierence being simply fthc change in relative POSiiZiOl lof the buckles to each other, as seen at fig. 2. It will be noticed that all the buckles are Ofordinary construction, and attached at their bases to a common center at the proper angles for the purposes intended.

The choke-ring, Figure 3, is simply a buckle .attached to a ring at right angles, or it may be attached by a swivel, as seen at Figure 4, this requiring a buckle-tongue bar, a, in addition to the attaching bar I) in the buckle-frame.

The feature of this in rention is that the halter is put together wholl y or nearly so by buckles, made in clusters and applied as shown. By this construct-ion the proportions of the halter can be altered to fit better or to suit different animals by taking up orletting out a strap by the buckles.

A strap can also be taken out and replaced at r by time by a new one without stitching or riveting;

The halter is composed almost entirely of short straps put together with very little if any stitching or riveting.

What we claim as of. our invention in the abovedescribed halter trimmings is- A halter put together by buckles, madein clusters and applied as shown, so that the parts can be taken up or lengthened out or readily detached at any time with very little if any stitching or riveting, substantially as specified.
