Abstract
The essence of this invention is the use of the floating cam-lock washer that replaces the center bar on a typical buckle. The buckle base consists of a plate with a figure-eight hole in the center. The non-looped end of the rope halter is inserted from the underside of the buckle and pulled through to the point of adjustment on the horse. The non-looped end of the rope halter is then inserted and pulled through the cam-lock washer and inserted back through the buckle base to exit on the underside of the buckle. The non-looped end of the rope halter is then pulled tight to the top of the buckle with the washer at a 90 degree position to the base of the buckle. To lock the buckle in place, the washer is rotated 90 degrees to a parallel position with the buckle base. To unlock the buckle, the washer is rotated 90 degrees back to a vertical position—this reduces the pressure of the non-looped end of the rope halter with respect to the buckle base and allows the buckle, on the non-looped end of the rope halter rope, to be easily slid through the base and the floating washer to tighten or loosen the rope halter. The fact that the washer is floating rather than attached makes the adjustment process much easier as the non-looped end of the rope halter does not have to bend through a tight arrangement of fixtures.
