G. T. WILLIAMSON.
Patented Sept. 19, 1911.
Attorneys GUS '1. WILLIAMSON, OF LECTA, KENTUCKY.
CRUPPER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 19, 1911.
Application filed July 12, 1910. Serial No. 571,623.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Gus T. WILLIAMSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lecta, in the county of Barren and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Crupper, of which the following is a speci fication.
It is the object of the present invention to provide an improved crupper and the primary aim of the invention is to provide a crupper so constructed as to hold the stock of an animals tail upright and maintain it in this position for a desired length of time thereby creating a tendency for the stock of the tail to grow in the position stated.
The invention aims further to so construct the crupper that although it will normally hold the stock of the tail in upright position, this is accomplished partly through the medium of springs which render the device yieldable to a certain degree so that the animal is not materially inconvenienced.
In the accompanying drawings :-Figure 1 is a perspective View of the crupper and the harness of which it constitutes a part. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a similar view on the line 8 3 of Fig. 1.
In the drawings, the crupper is illustrated as embodying a bottom pad comprising a base sheet 5 and a semi-annular, stuffed pad 6. As illustrated, the base sheet 5 is cut away at the front as at 7 to receive the stock of the horses tail and the pad 6 extends around the edge of this cut away portion and inwardly beyond the said edge to such degree as to prevent the edge rubbing the tail. Cooperating with the pad 6 is a semi-annular pad 9 which is supported above the said pad 6 in a manner to be now described. Tubular leather casings 10 are secured at their upper ends to the pad 9 at diametrically opposite points as indicated by the numeral 11. A spring 12 is housed within each of the said casings 10 and at its lower end is secured as at 13 to the pad 6 at a point in Vertical alinement with the respective casing 10. It will be readily understood from the foregoing that the springs 12 serve to yieldably support the pad 9 in position above the pad 6 and that the stock of the animals tail is to be received also in the said pad 9.
As a means for confining the stock of the tail in the concavity of the pad 9, there is pro vided a strap 14: secured at one end to one end of the said pad 9 and at its other end is inserted through a buckle 15 secured upon the other end. of the pad 9. The ordinary crupper 16 encircles the pad (3 and, at the rear and sides is held thereto by short straps 17 and buckle 18. The crupper strap is indicated by the numeral 19 and is connected to a ring 20 carried at the rear end of a back strap 21 which is in turn connected to the harness saddle 22. This connection of the ordinary crupper with the crupper of the present invention, at its base, serves to hold the last mentioned crupper, at its said base, firmly in place.
In addition to the straps mentioned, the harness illustrated embodies a breast strap 23 to the front of which is connected a strap 24. Straps 25 are connected at their forward ends to the rear end of the strap 24 and at their rear ends are connected one to each side of the base sheet 5 and as these straps 25 pass beneath the body of the animal, they assist in holding the base sheet 5 in place. A strap 26 is passed through a loop 27 in the strap 21 and at its ends is engaged through buckles 28 located one upon each casing 10, (only one being, however, here shown). This latter strap 26 serves effectually to hold the crupper, embodying the present invention, in upright position and may be adjusted to hold the crupper vertical or nearly vertical as may be desired.
That is claimed is 1. The combination with a crupper, of a base pad, means upon the pad removably securing the same to the crupper, tubular flexible casings secured at their lower ends to the pad, springs in said casings, and a tail receiving pad supported at the upper ends of said tubular casing.
2. The combination with a crupper, of a base pad, means upon the pad removably securing the same to the crupper, tubular flexible casings secured at their lower ends to the pad, springs in said casings, a tail receiving pad supported at the upper ends of said tubular casings, the said tail receiving pad being open at its front, and a strap extending across the said front of the pad.
3. The combination with a crupper and a breast strap, of a base pad, means upon the In testimony that I claim the foregoing pad removably securlng the same to the as my own, I have hereto aifixed my slgnaorupper, tubular fiexlble caslngs secured ture 1n the presence of two wltnesses.
their lower ends to the pad, springs in said GUS T. WILLIAMSON. casings, and straps connected at their for- WVitnesses:
Ward ends to the breast strap and at their J. LEWIS WVILLIAMs,
rear ends to the base pad at opposite sides. I GRESAPE PRESTON.
