v BRIDLE BIT. APPLIOATION FILED NOV. 15, 1910.
1,060,240. Patented Apr. 29, 1913.
Gum/M CHARLES H. FALLS, OF NASI-IUA, IOWA.
BRIDLE-BIT.
' Application fi1ed November 15, 1910.
T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES H. FALLs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Nashua, in the county of Chickasaw and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bridle-Bits; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to bridle bits and is an improvement over my former Patent 809,364 and has as its object'to provide a better means of holding the rein loop.
Other objects will be apparent from the following specification, and the appended claim and drawings thereof, in which Figure l is a perspective view of the bit. Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the cheek piece. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the hook and eye on the end of said bit.
WVith reference to the drawings, 1 indicates a bit cylindrical in form having the usual cheek pieces 2 and integral bridle strap eyes 3. The bit proper flares and terminates in the cheek pieces producing a continuous surface, as shown by the fillet 4;.
The bit has holes 5 drilled in each end thereof to receive the plug 6 of a hook member 7, said hook member having one end curved as at 8, a shank portion 9 and the part 10 extending from the shank portion, bent upon itself forming an eye through which passes a portion of the rein loop 11,
Copies of this patent may be obtained for Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 29, 1913.
Serial No. 592,553.
said loop having a cross-piece 13, and a V-shaped extension of the ring engaging the loop 10 serves as means for fulcruming against the projection 9, as the reins connected to the rings are pulled upon, while the crosspiece 13 is to receive a jaw strap not shown.
By the provision of the hook-shaped projection 8, the forward swinging movement of the ring will be prevented in the event of the animal with the bit in its mouth shaking its head forward and backward.
In use the bit is provided with the usual bridle straps and jaw strap and by the particular construction of the hook a rein loop may be placed therein for use as a curb bit or for an animal having a tender mouth, said bit being capable of adjusting itself owing to its smooth surface.
\Vhat I claim to be new is A bit having a flaring end with a recess therein, said end having an elongated groove in the outer face thereof, a loop having a shank portion engaging said recess and seated in the groove in the end of the bit, said loop terminating at one end in a hook and at the other end opposite and spaced apart from said hook, said loop having a cross-piece, a ring having an angled projection at one end engaging said crosspiece and adapted to fulcrum against said hook, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES H. FALLS.
