To all whom it may concern:
Be it. known that I, CHARLES G. Mmm, a

A further object the production of a device of the character mentioned whiclrwill be o'f durable and economical construction and etlicient in operation.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
lVith these objects in view my invention consists in a shoulder protector characterized as above mentioned and in certain detaiis of construction and arrangement ot parte all as will be hereinail'tcr `fully described and more articularly pointed out in the appended c aims.
My invention will be more readily understood by` reference to the accompanying drawing forming a part ot' this specification, and in which,
Figure l is a view shoulder protector applied for une, and Fig. 2 is a central ltmgitudinal section of the '(levice, detached.
Referrin now to the drawing, l indicates the iiody of the device which is a curved, preferably metallic plate, the same being' shaped so as to con'torm to the shoulder upon which it outer end portion 2 of est width, the same beingl ot dimensions such as to adapt the same to completely cover the upper side o't the outer end porsaid plate ot' great- `tion of the Shoulder, the inner end portion 3 of said plate being otl reduced width. as indicated. Said plate is ot' a length such that, when arranged upon a slmulder, the same will extend from the outer end ot the latter to within ay short distance otE the neck. lrovided atfthe outer edge ot the portion l is a cti-extensive upwardly projecting' flange l, the .same boing: adapted, when a strap. such as a mail carriers Strap, is arranged upon the plate l Ytoprcvent outward displacement thereof, 'as clearly indicated in Fig'. 2. Pro-- vided cent 'ally at the. outer end of the plate showing my improved l t is a securing' member comprising the Shank ond portion 5 which is rigid ly secured upon the under side ot' said plate7 and the outer upwardly curved and pointed end portion 6 which projecte` beyond the outer edge of said plate, thc latter portion being adapted when vided centrally in the portion 3 adjacent the inner odgeot the plate 1 is a slot 't'. Rigidly secured to the under eide oi the plate travelsing the slot 7 is a pivotal`pin 8. Pivotally mounted intermet'liate its extremities upon thc pin ti is an engaging or securing member t), the same .comprising the rear 'wardly projecting curved and pointedportion 1() which is adapted, as the hook portion t3. to engage the garment ot' the wearer. 'lhe forwardly projecting shank portion i1 said member t) being' adapted to be held in keeper 1'.) under which the shank 11 is adapted to engage.
When arranging the device upon a Shoul der t'or use, thc engaging hook (i is first inserted into thc shoulder part of the coat, of the user at the outer extremity thereof, this being' cll'cctcd by sulliciently elevating the inner end o'tf the plate. rlhus the outei` end ot' the latter is securely held in position npon the garment. Upon the hook t3 beingr cn- Lfae'ed the inner end ot' the plate is lowered to engagement with the shoulder. Now, by `forwardly oerillatine the shank it of the member Si Atrom a substantially vertical possition` the engaging' end l() thereof may be made 'to pierre thc cloth ot' the garment to member beine' held in locking' position by means ol the liceper l2 ai; before mentioned. The cud 1t) ot' the member i) is so `formed that. when the lat\t cr is in engaging position. the outer end oty the 'former rests against the inner edge ot the plate t; and whereby slippingr ot' the cloth engaged thereby from engagementtherewith is prevented.
With a device ol the construction as above set l'ortlt and arranged as shown and described. meansl will be provided whereby the wear ol' a carrying strap r 'sting' upon the lshoulder will bc distributed over a greater arca. and whereby sort-,ness of the shoulder will be prevented. 'l`he embodiment of securing devices as described provides means in use to engage or pierce the shoulder portion ot the garment ol the wearer. lro-' o't' the member t) extends through the slotl 7,
operative position by means of a curved lot-li the inner cud ot the plate thereto, said 10 cone .15 claim es new said plate bein which ellieient in operation end which will nel injure the ololi upon which tbe de" vice is secured; sueli embodiment further providing;` ineens whereby lili-e device may be 5 ,readily end quickly yattached or detached.
liile ll lieve shown what I deem to be the preferable forni of my proieooor l do not wish o be liinied tlierelo es there might be verione changes mede iu the details of 'notion arrangement of parte described Without departing from the spirit of tlie invention eoniprehended Within the scope of the appended Claims.
Having desenlied my invention what I desire lo secure by Let- ,ters Patent is: l.
