PAD-PLATE FoR HARNESS-PADS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,500, dated January 3O, 1883.

Application filed November 23, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DUNCAN MOMILLAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wooster, in the county of \Vayne and theSt-ate of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pad-Plates for Harness-Pads; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

My invention consists in attaching to a padplate for harness-pads a leather skirt by means of a button, and a pad-screw, covering and hiding from view the aforesaid button by means of a scalloped or other shaped leather cover, the whole forming a simple, strong, and durable mode otattaching the skirt to the padplate of harness-saddles.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents the go pad-plate and skirt with scalloped or other shaped cover as fastened by the button and pad-screw. Fig. 2 is an under side view of a portion of the pad-plate, showing the skirt secured in position. Fig. 3*is a top view thereof.

2 Fig.4 is a section on the'line 4 4, Fig. 3. Fig.

5 is a similar view, showing parts detached.

A is the metallic pad-plate, cast in one piece; B, the leather skirt, having suitable leather cover, 0, sewed upon it. The button D,

0 passing through the slot act the pad-plate A,

and also through the skirt B, isprovided with an extended head, d, for 'the purpose of bearinginore evenly upon the skirtand preventing the button from tearing the same. The

slot or button-hole a is provided with an eye aiid an extension, a, the button D entering at a and being pressed into the extension at when attaching the skirt B. The padscrew E, passing through slot f of pad-plate, and ,having head 6 provided with a key-hole for operating the screw, is supplied with a flattened nut, e, for locking the skirt to pad-plate after the insert-ion of button D.

The mode 0t constructing my pad-plate is as follows: The button D is inserted in the skirt B and the cover 0 placed and stitched thereto. A suitable hole is then made for the reception of the pad-screw, which is inserted therein. The button D is then introduced into the slot (6 and-slid into its extension a. The nut e is screwed upon the pad-screw E and tightened by means oi bolt-liead 6.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new tlielciu, and cesite to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The pad-plate A, provided with slots at andf, in combinationwith skirt B, having button D and screw E, as herein described.

2. In a pad-plate for harness-pads, the button D, constructed as described, and attached to the leather skirt B, having a cover, 0, in combination with the metallic pad-'plateA and pad-screw E, as herein described.
