A Removable Clip, Connecting Hames to Carriage, Gig, Cab, or Van
Harness.
WILLIAM HENRY DULY Handcross near Crawley Sussex Harness Maker 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 :—
The clip is made in the form of a double clip, one clip is made to be revitted in
the tugs in the usual way, is made of steel which allows it to be made of lighter
substance than the old fashioned iron clips, and instead of an eye attaching it to
the hames, it has an hub at the end with slots or covered grooves through which
after being passed through the eye of the hames, the other clip goes on to the
leather tugs and is there held by removable pin and screw revits.
Figure 1. in drawings shews my removable clip as in use on carriage or other
hame tugs, the pins CD holding the clips together so firmly at that part, that, for
all carriage or gig hames, I prefer not to have the groove of the inner clip,
through which the outer clip passes, covered, but, simply left as an open grove for
the outer clip to fit in, the pins C. D. are made in shape as shewn in section C. D.
Fig. 3.
To remove pins C. D. we must first remove rivets E E which screw out,
and, give the outer clip a tap at the part A. Fig. 1. which causes the outer clip to
move forward about of an inch, the pin, C, can then be taken out which allows
the pin D to be removed, to allow this the slot through which the pins pass is made
of an inch longer forward in the head of the inner clip than the slot G.
shewn in the outer clip Figure 4. In putting together the pin D. being clipt is
put into its place first, the clips of same fitting over the outer clip the pin C. is
then put in its place and being notched in the center as shewn in section Fig. 3. to
fit a projection also shewn in section Fig. 3. when the outer clip is drawn back in
its place and the screw rivets inserted the clips are held firmly together and the
pins C. D. cannot move, the rivets F. F. in Fig. 1. are for fixing inner clip

of outer clip, Fig. 3 section of inner clip shewing how the pin C. is held in its place
when in use also shewing the groove in head B¹. For all best harness I should
prefer to make the inner clip of steel. For common harnesses I should make
them of iron throughout. Fig. 4 shews outer clip.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
That my removable clip whole and separately as shewn in drawings is quite a
new invention.
