We SAMUEL OGDEN of West Mosley Street Manchester in the County of
Lancaster Merchant and CHARLES PETERS of 52 Charles Street Birmingham in
the County of Warwick Manufacturer of Coach Furniture, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to carriage traces or pulls, the straps or pulls of sliding
windows and similar articles, and has for its object to permit woven and similar
straps or belts to be employed for such pulls or traces with greater facility and
security than has heretofore been practicable.
These improvements consist in attaching to the end of the belt or strap a metal
plate or plates to which is secured a suitable loop link ring hook or shackle or a
combination of two or more of them, to form a means of connection between the
pull and the object to which it has to be attached. In the case of window pulls
the plate or plates with its or their loops or loop or equivalent means of connection
is attached to one end of the belt or strap only and the other end may be protected
by a metal cap, by leather; by braiding or other suitable means. In the case of a
trace or similar article the metal plates and their means of connection are attached
to each end of the strap or belt. The loop link, ring hook or other equivalent
means of connection is secured to the hame or to carriage window or carriage
frames in the usual or any suitable manner.
When eyelet or similar holes have to be formed in the woven strap or belt we
prefer to burn them by means of the application of hot wires or rods as when they
are thus formed the edges of the holes do not ravel or to become abraded.
When it is desired to provide for lengthening or shortening the pull, we attach
the metal plate or plates and means of connection to one end of a short length of
the belt or strap and to the other end we secure a hook. Between the hook and
means of connection we also secure one or more cross bands. The pull is provided
with a series of eyelet holes and its end is passed beneath the cross band or bands
when the hook at the end of the short piece will engage with one or other of the
eyelet holes as may be desired. The metal hook may however be secured to the
end of the trace or pull and the eyelet holes be formed in the short piece and the
cross band or bands may be attached to the trace or pull instead of to the short
piece.

We SAMUEL OGDEN of West Mosley Street Manchester in the County of
Lancaster Merchant and CHARLES PETERS of 52 Charles Street Birmingham in
the County of Warwick, Manufacturer of Coach Furniture, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This Invention relates to carriage traces or pulls, to the straps or pulls of sliding
windows and to similar articles and has for its object to enable textile or woven
bands or belts such as are employed for driving purposes to be utilized in the
manufacture or construction of such articles and consists in attaching to one or
each end of a belt or strap a metal plate or plates to which is or are secured one or
more suitable loops rings hooks shackles studs or the like to form a means of
connection between the pull or trace and the object to which it has to be attached.
When it is desired to provide for lengthening or shortening the pull, the metal
plate or plates and the means of connection are attached to one end of a short
length of the belt or strap and to the other end is secured a hook or stud. Between
the two ends of the short piece there may also be secured one or more cross bands.
The trace or pull is provided or has formed in it a series of eyelet holes and its end
may be passed beneath the cross band or bands on the short piece of belt when
the hook or stud at the end thereof will engage with one or other of the eyelet
holes as may be desired. The hook or stud may however be secured to the end
of the trace or pull and the eyelet holes be formed on the short piece and the cross
band or bands may be attached to the trace or pull instead of to the short piece.
And in order that this Invention may be more readily understood and carried
into practical effect we have hereunto appended two sheets of Drawings and will
now proceed to describe the same with reference to the letters denoting the different
parts of the various figures similar letters being employed to denote similar parts
in each of the figures.
Figs. 1 to 9 inclusive represent various typical modifications of the means of
connection between the pull or trace A and the hame B and the chain C by which
the trace is connected to the vehicle. Although a chain is shown in each case for
connecting the trace to the vehicle other convenient and suitable devices may be
adopted. Fig. 10 represents in front view and section an example of the means
adopted for attaching a textile band to a window sash in order that such a band
may be used as a pull for opening and closing the window. Figs. 11 & 12 show
*an arrangement for lengthening and shortening a pull or trace. In each of the
figures where these parts are represented A indicates the pull or trace, B the hame,
C the chain or means of connection to the vehicle or window sash, D the metal
plate attached or secured to the pull or trace and E the loop ring hook shackle or
the like formed upon or secured to the plate D.
In fig. 1 the upper part represents in side view and the lower part in plan and
section the ends of a trace or pull having one form of these improvements applied

page_text: thereto. Fig. 2 shows in side view and plan the metal plate and loop at the hame
end of fig. 1 and fig. 3 shows similar views of the metal plate and loop at the
vehicle end of the trace fig. 1.
Upon the projection from the hame is formed or secured a stud having at its
outer end a nib F. The loop upon the metal plate has cut or formed in it a slot
corresponding in dimensions to or somewhat larger then the nib F. The respective
positions of the slot and nib are so arranged that when the connection is in use
they shall not coincide and they may conveniently be 90 degrees apart as shown.
The connection is made by passing the nib through the slot and turning the stud
to its normal or working position when the two parts are securely connected
together. Alternatively, the stud may be secured to the metal plate on the trace
and the slotted loop may be formed in the projection from the hame. In the event
of the horse or animal falling down the trace may be disconnected by the reverse
operation to that employed in making the connection. The loop may be cast or
forged in one piece with the plate as in fig. 2 or be pinned rivetted or welded
thereto as indicated in fig. 3. The plate may be thickened at the end and be
provided with a shoulder against which the end of the trace may abut and it may
have cast or formed upon the face next to the trace teeth or projections which will
enter therein and increase the grip or hold of the plate upon the trace. The plates
may be attached to the trace by rivets bolts and nuts or by any usual or equivalent
means. In figs. 4 5 6 and at the hame ends of figs. 7 & 11 are shown modifications
of the connections represented in figs. 1 2 & 3 and in which the metal plate is upon
one side only of the trace. In these modifications a cover plate G is also employed
and by preference in conjunction with a tongue plate H in which case the loop E
may connect the tongue plate with the plate D. As represented the teeth or
projections and the thickened end and shoulder are formed upon G but if the teeth
or projections are omitted the shoulder may be formed upon D or G indifferently,
or the tongue plate may be omitted also, when the cover plate G the loop E and
the plate D may be cast or forged in one piece an addition to G occupying the space
otherwise left for the reception of the tongue plate H.
A sitnilar modification to the last hereinbefore described is represented in fig. 11,
the difference being that the cover plate is in a separate piece as would be necessary
if teeth or projections were employed on either of the inner faces.
As shown at the hame end of fig. 7 and in detail in fig. 8 the plate D and cover
plate G may be provided at their outer ends with interfitting lugs or projections
bored so as to be connected together by a pin or bolt J which also connects to the
plates the looped D-piece K by means of which connection may be made to the
hame or vehicle; an ordinary D-piece may be employed instead of the looped
form K.
An arrangement for lengthening or shortening the pull or trace as hereinbefore
described is shown at fig. 11. Lis the short length of the belt or strap, M. is a
stud attached to L and which may be replaced by a hook or other device for
engaging L with the trace through any of the eyelet holes O O formed therein;
NN are the cross bands.
:
In fig. 10 showing an arrangement for connecting a pull to a window sash
according to these improvements a plate and cover plate similar to those shown in
figs. 7 & 8 are employed, but in this case they are curved in order to lie flat
against the face of the sash. The pin connecting the plate and cover plate together
is connected to or engaged with lugs on the back of a recessed plate P let into
the sash.
When eyelet or similar holes have to be formed in the woven strap or belt we
prefer to burn them by means of the application of hot wires or rods as when they
are so formed we find that the edges of the holes do not ravel or become abraded.
It will be understood that we do not bind ourselves to the precise arrangements
and combinations herein before described and illustrated on the accompanying
sheets of Drawings as these may be varied almost indefinitely and that we do not
claim as part of this our invention the arrangements or combinations of the devices
