' NOSE-BAG.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led October 7, 1910.' Serial No. 585,866.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN W. Mom, a

citizen of the United States of America, re-

siding at Wayne, in the county of Delaware and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nose-Bags, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to vnose bags, and the object of the invention is to provide a device of this character wherein` autom-ati`4 cally controlled means are employed for holding the bag at all times in a position where the feed will be disposed in convenient reach of the animal.

The primary object of my invention is the provision of a device of the above stated character wherein the automatic` controlling means employed for holding the bag at all times in a position where the feed will be disposed in convenient reach of the animal, is disposed in direct central alinement with a pair of tubular members or guide-ways and by such alinement prevents the said automatic controlling means from sagging or abutting either the inner walls or the top and bottom edges thereof. This is considered a great advantage over such means as has been heretofore applied to such devices and used for like purposes.

In the drawing forming a 4portion of this specification and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views z-Figure 1 is a detail vertical section through my improved bag showing the same in an extended position. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the bag in a partly folded position.

The device consists of a receptacle 1 which is preferably formed of canvas or similar such iiexible material that can be readily folded. The lower end of the bag is closed by a bottom 2 which is formed to provide a vertical flange 3 which extends around the walls of the receptacle at the lower end thereof. The flange 3 is secured to the receptacle by rivets or other suitable fastening devices 4. At the upper end the recep-.fl

tacle has secured thereto a band 5. Supporting elements 6 are located at the upper end of the receptacle at diametrically opposite points thereof. These supporting elements" are formed at their lower ends to provide eyes 7 and at their upper ends to provide eyes 8. The elements are secured to the band 5 by a clamping ring 9. The shank portions of the supporting elements 6 are Patented Auw. 20, 1912.

coextensive in thickness with the thickness f ofy the band 5 and'the'clamping ring 9, and as. illustrated, the eyes 7 and `8 of the clamp-k ing elements extend transversely tothe joint Vbetween the said band. 5 and clamping4 ring so as to hold the clamping ring* 1n its ad- ]usted position .on the band without the use of securing devices such asrivets or the like.

`A supporting element 10 extends across the underside of the bottom 2 and it is formed to provide upstanding terminals 11 whose extremities are formed to provide eyes 12. Retractile springs 13 have their lower ends engaged in the eyes 12 of the support 10 and the upper ends of such springs are engaged in the eyes 7 of the support 6.

A clamping ring 14 surrounds the flange 3 of the bottom and it serves to-hold the support 10 in an applied position. This ring may be conveniently removed should it be desired to replace worn springs by new ones as will obviously appear. The clampn ing ring 14 is provided with upwardly extending arms 15 on which are mounted hollow tubular-like vsupports 16 through which the springs 13 extend. The supports 16 serve to guide the springs and to hold them against accidental displacement. In other words, the supports hold the springs in close confinement to the sides of the receptacle 1. They also serve as housings to entirely cover the springs when the receptacle is in a folded position. A head strap 17 has its terminals engaged inthe eyes 8 of the supporting elements 6.

From the scribed it will be seen that under the weight of the feed the receptacle will beheld in an extended positionv but on displacement of the feed the springs 13 will effectively act to fold the receptacleand to move the bottom thereof toward the nose of the animal so that the feed will remain at all times in convenient reach. The receptacle obviates the necessity of the animal shaking his head in order to shift the feed in positions whe-re construction of the device dey terminals and the other end connected to the receptacle, elements formed at theirv extremities are formed to provide eyes, a bottom clamping ring, hollow tubular guide-way members formed integral with said ring and disposed at opposite sides of the receptacle, a band at the upper end of inner ends to provide upper and lower eyes confined between the band and the latter mentioned clamping ring, springs mounted in said tubular. guide-Way members and having Aone end connected to vthe upstanding the lower eye of said elements7 said ring disposing said 'elements in central alinement with said tubular guide-way members, said Copies of thispatent may be obtained :for

ve centsfeach, by addressing'the Commissioner of Patents, n Washington, ZD. G. Y
