thereof, applicable also for Making other Connections.
ALICE MATILDA PHILPOT and FRANK PHILPOT both of Vicarage Street
Saddlery Works Walsall Staffordshire do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved means of connecting the tags of braces to
the bands or upper part thereof, enabling the unbuttoning, when desired, unnecessary
and which may also be used for other purposes such as grooms belts, driving reins,
riding bridles, harness traces and such like and the same is carried out in the
following manner.
In applying this invention to braces I provide the lower end of the bands which
carry the buckles with a metal plate or such like which may have its bearing upon
the bottom bar of the buckle; attached to this piece is a hook which is so fixed in
relation to the metal piece as to prevent the ring on the tag when engaged with the
said hook from becoming disconnected therefrom until the metal piece is pushed
away from the said hook.

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 an improved means of connecting the tags of braces to
the bands or upper part thereof, enabling the unbuttoning, when desired, unnecessary,
and which may also be used for other purposes such as grooms belts, driving reins,
riding bridles, harness traces, and such like, and the same is carried out in the
following manner.
In applying this invention to braces I provide the lower end of the bands which
carry the buckles with a metal plate, or such like, which may have its bearing upon
the bottom bar of the buckle; attached to this piece is a hook which is so fixed in
relation to the metal piece as to prevent the ring on the tag when engaging with
the said hook from becoming disconnected therefrom until the metal piece is pushed
away from the said hook.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I now refer to the annexed
drawings in which :-
Figure 1 shows front elevation of invention Figure 2 side elevation of same.
a is the buckle upon the bottom bar a of which is secured the plate b terminating
in a flexible or elastic end f. The hook c is secured to the plate 6 by rivets or
pins e. This. hook e engages with a piece d which is attached to the brace tags
at g, and to the hook cat h. The piece d is disconnected from the hook c by
pressing the part of the piece d upon the elastic portion of the plate b which is
thus forced away from the hook e a sufficient distance to allow the small ring hon
the piece d to pass out. i is an ordinary covering piece of leather.
