HAME.

EEPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 314,063, dated March 17, 1885.

Application filed January 6, 18 (N m del.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Beit known that I,NICHOLAS G. SOHWALEN, ofMinneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in I-Iames, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention consists of the construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, all as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bame constructed in accordance with my invention, showing a part of the hanie-tug. Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same.

I provide the halne A with an adjustingscrew, B. This screw B is used in connection with the rod D, to which the trace 0 is directly attached, for by this arrangement no material strain or draft will come upon the screw B to bend, wear, or otherwise injure it.

Upon the screw B and rod D, I place the adjusting device E, that is screw-tapped to match the screw-threads of the screw-rod B, so that by turning the screw-rod B to the right or left the device E will be raised or lowered according to the direction the screw B is turned. In this instance the device E is divided to form the arms a a, that straddle the trace 0, so that any up or down movement of the deviceE will raise orlower the trace upon the rod D.

To prevent wear of the rod D, I place loosely thereon the sleeve 0, around which the trace is placed. At its upper end the hame is provided with the plateF, that carries the loop G. The plate F is held to the hame by 0 the screws (1 d, that pass through slots (1' d in the plate F, so that by loosening the screws d the plate F may be adjusted to raise or lower the loop G to suit the size of the collar and the position at which the trace 0 is held by the screw B. The outer surface of the plate F is notched or serrated, as shown at f, and upon the screws (2 are placed the notched or serrated plates 9, which, when the screwsd are screwed down, engage with the plate F v and hold it firmly in place upon the hame.

The screw B is journaled in the eye-plates h h, secured to the hame, and it is made square at one end, so that it may be easily turned with a wrench for adjusting the trace up or down, and the rod D in this instan re is held in the plates 11 71.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The hame provided with the screw B, rod D, and adjusting device E, arranged upon the screw and rod, substantially as and for the NICHOLAS G. SOHWALEN.
