SWEAT COLLAR-PAD.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN M. EILERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sweat Collar- Pads, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to sweat collar pads commonly used in connection with horse collars to prevent irritation. of the animals shoulder due to constant friction of the collar.
The object of my invention is to produce a more compact sweat pad and one in which the hair or padding does not work to the front or toward the neck portion of the pad and is retained at the shoulder portion where it is most needed.
A further object of my invention is to provide a wedge-shaped pad of the character described which is more comfortable to the animal inasmuch as the padding is placed at a point where it is most required and needed.
Another object of my invention is to produce a lighter and more flexible pad which readily conforms to the horse and to the collar and is free from wrinkles.
Heretofore sweat pads have been constructed with a comparatively large roll at the neck portion as well as at the shoulder portion thereof. This type of pad has been found to have many disadvantages, mainly because of the fact that there is too much padding at the neck which renders the pad very uncomfortable to the animal inasmuch as it binds and in very many cases requires a larger collar to allow it to fit properly.
My invention consists mainly in constructing a sweat pad much thinner and lighter at the neck or at the portion where the pad connects to the collar and gradually becoming thicker until it reaches the shoulder portion or portion which rests against the shoulder of the animal; in providing a series of parallel seams close together adjacent the neck portion to retain the padding in such position and prevent the stuffing from working its way toward the neck portion, and in providing a series of parallel running seams in the remaining portion of the pad, the distance between each seam increasing as it approaches the shoulder por- Specification of Letters Patent.

tion, which portion is constructed heavier than the other portions of the pad.
In the accompanying sheet of drawing which serves to illustrate my invention: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sweat pad constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section. Fig. 3 is an end elevation partly broken away, illustrating more clearly how the seams are placed.
In the embodiment of my invention as illustrated, 1 represents the outer roll or section of the sweat pad which is the heaviest portion of the pad, being placed at the shoulder portion thereof. The section 1 is partitioned or separated from the next section 5 thereof by means of a seam 6.
The neck portion of my new improved sweat pad is constructed extremely thin and is provided with three seams, 2, 3 and i which tend to retain the small amount of padding 7 therebetween in position. I preferably construct the bridge portion or top of the sweat pad 8 very thin, the padding at this point not being essential.
By placing the scams 2, 3 and 4 closely together and constructing the pad thin at this point, I produce an excellent base for connecting the hooks 9 thereto.
It is the purpose of the hooks 9 to provide means for attaching the sweat pad to the horses collar, the pad being inserted inside the horses collar and the hooks being hooked upon the roll of the horses collar. By means of constructing the same thin as shown, the neck portion is very pliable and the pad is easily connected to the collar without making the animal uncomfortable by reason of the fact that there is no superfluous padding at this point.
In the old style sweat pad where the padding is as thick in diameter in the neck portion as it is at the shoulder portion a large portion of the sweat pad is twisted or turned, when it is desired to fasten the hooks 9 to the collar. \Vhen this is done, part of the pad is pulled toward the neck of the animal and takes some of the padding from the shoulder where it is most needed. It not only causes said padding to be forced toward the neck when the pad is hooked in position, but there is a tendency for the stuffing and entire pad to work itself toward the neck of the animal, which has been found to be objectionable.
The pad may consist of a covering 13 formed of drilling or any other suitable fabric having the padding 7 of hair, cotton or other flexible material, and is sewed or quilted together in the manner described.
t is readily seen that by constructing a pad in accordance with my invention the stuffing in said pad retains its shape, thereby increasing its usefulness and prolonging its life. it will also be seen that a pad constructed in this manner possesses the advantage of readily conforming to the collar and to the contour of the horse, while at the same time avoiding the formation of wrinkles in the pad which otherwise would be uncomfortable and injurious to the animal. Another advantage consists in the economy of construction of this pad, less material being required. It will also adapt itself to a larger number of sizes of collars than otherwise, by reason of its wedge shape which permits it to be adjusted forward or backward under the collar according to the size of the collar. It is not only economic to construct, but being adapted for use with a smaller sized collar than a pad of uniform thickness, or a pad having a roll, permits the use of a smaller collar which is cheaper than a larger one.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
As an article of manufacture, a sweat pad, comprising a flexible covering and padding therein, said padding being very thin at the front edge portion of the pad and becoming gradually thicker toward the rear edge portion thereof, fastening devices mounted on the said front edge port-ion, a series of closely arranged seams running approximately parallel to each other and to the front edge of the pad and extending through the covering and padding near the front edge whereby the said front edge portion is closely quilted to form a rigid reinforced support for said fastening devices and to prevent shifting of the padding, and other parallel seams in the thicker portion of said padding each a considerable distance apart to hold said padding in fixed relation to the covering, substantially as set forth, and for the purposes specified.
