\VILLIALWI \V. YOUMANS, OF CALDWELL, KANSAS.
HORSE-COLLAR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Batent No. 361,342, dated April 19, 1887.
Application filed December 17, 1886. Serial No. 221,875. (No model.)
To all whom it may conce'rn:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM W. YOUMANS, a c1t1zen of the United States, residing at Caldwell, in the county of Sumner and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in HorseGollars, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in horse-collars, and has for its object the provision of means whereby old collars, which are worn out at the bottom by the neck-yoke, straps, or any other means, may be repaired and rendered serviceable with but little expense and through means very readily applied.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevation of a portion of a collar and my protector covering the same. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the protector, showing it distended and about to be applied to a collar. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view of the protector detached.' Fig. 4 is a de tached perspective view of the protector in its normal shape. Figs. 5 and 6 are sectional views to show how the protector is secured in place.
' Referring to the drawings, in which similar letters denote corresponding parts in all the figures, A is the body of a horse-collarof the ordinary construction and shape. B is the neck-roll, and B is the depression between said body and neck-roll on the outer side of the collaig ()is my improved .protector,eonsisting of the two rolls D and E, adapted to embrace the body A and neck-roll B of the collar, respectively, said rolls being separated by a crease, G, and having the flaps H and I on the sides of the rolls, which overlap each other on'the inside of the collar, and are secured together and to the collar by the stitching K, which passes entirely through the collar and fastens the crease G of the protector firmly into the depression B ofthe collar.
The protector is of very stiff and rather thick leather, and is crimped and forced by machinery to assume the shape describednamely; the two rolls D E with the crease G between and the inside flaps, H I, on the sides of the rolls, respectively. In addition to this the protector has a general curve in its length to correspond with the curve in the This forming operation applied to the protector (it being of stiff leather) causes said protector to assume the folded position normally. It requires considerable force to distend the protector sufficiently to place it upon the collar, and as soon as said protector is released it springs back to its normal position and clasps the collar firmly, even before the stitching is applied. Ihe forming operation also causes the protector to fit the shape of the collar much more closely and makes a neater appearance when on the collar. 4
I am aware that heretofore protectors have been used on horse-collars for the purpose of receiving the wear which would otherwise come upon the collar. I do not therefore claim this idea, broadly. I
My invention differs from anything that has preceded it, in that I form the protector of stiff leather, having a certain amount of spring. in it, and this elasticity is increased by creasing the protector in the center between the rolls. The crease is turned inwardly a sufficient distance to neatly fit the crimp between the horse-collar rolls. It will be apparent that the protector springs in place and holds itselfin position upon the horse-collar while stitching the protector.
It is not necessary to stretch the protector tight upon the collar, and theprotector will accommodate itself to slightinequalitiesin the shape of the collar produced by wearing. The flaps H I come on a line with the crease G of the protector, so that the same stitching or rivets unite them both.
Having thus described my invention, whatI claim,and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
As an improved article of manufacture, the herein-described protector for horse-collars, formed of a single piece of leather having the rolls D E, the inwardly-turned crimp or 9 crease H between the'rolls, and the flaps H I on the outer sides of the'rolls, said protector being crimped and shaped by machinery out of very stiff leather in the shape it is designed to assume when in position, so that there is always a constant inherent tendency of the protector to resume this position when extended, as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WVILLIAM IV. YOUMANS.
