IMPROVEMENT IN ROSE'I'TES FOR BRIDLES.
l'he Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
Figure 1 is a rear elevation of the crown-piece of a bridle, with my device attached thereto;
Figure 2 is a side elevatiouofthe same; 1
Figures '3 and 4 are plan views of the inner faces offitge outer and inner plates, respectively, of the rose Figure 5 is a central cross-section of the said plates as combined; and v Figure 6 is aplan view of thefinner plate, with t-hehcrown, front, and other straps connected-there-' wit Letters of like name and kind refer -to like parts in each of the figures.
-In headstalls as usually constructed, the rosette is formed of a single disk of metal, having upon its inner side a square staple, through whichthe end of the head-piece passes, while the divided end of the crown-piece extends downward upon eaclrside of said staple and through a loop upon the end of said headpiece. j
As thus constructed, the divided ends of the crownpiece form the billets for connecting the cheek-pieces extend in different directions, or not parallel with each other, so that one or both of them are bent edgewise and wrinkled, by which means their durability and appearance are injured, and the horse rendered uncomfortable.
Another objection arises from the frequent misplacement of the rosette, by its beingpushed down while the horse is rubbing his head, to remedy all of which is the object of my invention,'which consists in the employment oftwo plates or disks, between which the straps are held by means of a number of studs or, pins secured to one disk and interlocking with the other, as is hereinafter fully described.
In the; annexed drawing A represents a flat circular metal disk, having se-' at a right angle with the same, four studs or pins, B, one-sixteenth of an inch long.
0 represents asecond disk, corresponding in size with that before described, but having a convex exterior face, and also a corresponding concave interior, except where, upon op osite sides of the latter face,- the cavity is filled so as toform two shoulders, D, the
inner edges of which are parallel with each other, as shown in fig. 3.
As thus constructed, said disks are placed with their inner faces together, and the pins immediately against the shoulders D, and arethen secured in position by means of a screw, E, passing through a suitable opening into the center of the outer disks, and screwing into the inner one, (as shown in fig. 5,) leaving between them a space, x, of sufllcient width to contain an ordinary strap.
The application-of this device is as follows:
The end of the head-strap F is placed horizontally across the center of the inner disk, and provided with w an opening for the passage of the-screw E, while the crown-piece G and the billets H extend inward; toand at a right angle with the edge' of said head-strap, and,
1 -being provided with suitable openings, are hooked over the pins B.
If, now, the'outer disk 0 be secured in place, lli'WXll be found that the various strapsare firmly connected thereto, and also that eachbillet, b'eing pivoted to one of the studs or pins, is allowed to more freely radially, and thus accommodate itself to the position assumed by the strap to which it is attached.
This device possesses many advantages, among which are First, by its use the several straps are allowed to adjust themselves to "the shape of the horses head, so as to improve the set of the same, and also to render them more easy for the horse. 1
Second, less leather is required, no part of thestrap, connected with the rosette being double, as is usually the case; and, also, the leather can be cut with more economy, the billets and crown-piece not being formed of one piece, as heretofore.
Third, it is very simple in construction, easy of application, and can be furnished at a very small cost.-
Having thus fully set forth the nature and merits" of my invention, I
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let- 'ters Patent, is-
The employment of two plates or disks between which straps are securedby means of studs or pins attached to one of said disks, and interlocking with the other, 1
Also, the .disk A, provided with the pins B, in combination with the disk G, provided with the shoulders D, substantially as and for thepurpo'se specified.
Also, in combination with the disks A and O, the
screw E, substantially as shown, and for the purpose set forth. I V
In testimony that I claim the fore'going,'1 have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of October, 1869.
