BITLESS BRIDLE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 13, jltllllfi.
Application filed January 30, 1914. Serial No. 815,470.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that T, NICHOLAS J. H. DUEI-IR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Osmond, in the county of Pierce and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bitless Bridles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a bridle adapted to secure perfect control of a horse without the use of a bit thereby rendering the device more humane than bridles of the usual construction, and at the same time render it perfectly safe for the average person to drive the horse.
The invention consists of the attachmentsecured to the bridle and to which the reins are connected whereby a pull upon said reins will cause a pressure to be applied to the lower sides of the mouth of the horse, said pressure being exerted preferably by rubber pads thereby preventing injury to the horse and yet at the same time keeping him under perfect control.
The invention consists of the novel features of construction hereinafter described, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which, Figure 1 is an elevation showing the device in use. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device removed from the horse. Fig. 3 is a side view. Fig. l is an enlarged section on the line Jr-4: of Fig. 3.
In these drawings, 1 represents a nose strap which comprises a semi-circular piece of metal 2 covered upon both its upper and lower faces by a suitable leather strap 3, the ends of said strap being buckled together upon the top of said nose piece. The metal member 2 carries at its ends metal plates 4 the free ends of which are bent to form sleeves 5, and suitable eye bolts 6 loosely mounted in said sleeves, each of these bolts carries a rigid frame '2' which swings upon said bolts as a pivot and at one end the frame 7 carries a rubber pad 8 which I prefer in the form of a rotatable hard rubber roller. The frame is also provided adjacent the roller 8 with cross braces 9 and at the opposite end of the frame is pivoted a half ring 10. A strap 11 which runs between the braces 9 which fits upon the under side of the lower jaw completes the nose strap 1. A head gear 12 is connected to the respective eye bolts 6 and the rings 13 are connected to the half rings 10.
It will be obvious from the above description and drawings that a pull upon the reins will cause the frames 7 to swing upon their pivotal points, the bolts 6 thereby throwing the lower ends of said frames which carry the rubber pads against the sides of the lower jaw of the horse, the pressure exerted being of course in proportion to the amount of pull, and it will of course be obvious that if but one rein is pulled only one of said pads or rollers will exert pressure upon the side of the jaw.
What I claim is l. A bitless bridle comprising a nose strap formed of upper and lower semi-circular sections, a frame pivotally carried by the ends of the upper section, the ends of the lower section being secured to said frame and swinging therewith, rollers carried by said frame and within said lower section, means for connecting reins to the frame, and means for connecting the headgear of the bridle to the nose strap.
2. A device of the kind described comprising a metal strap adapted to fit the upper portion of the nose of a horse, sleeves carried at the ends of said strap, eye bolts carried by said sleeves, frames rigid with said eye bolts, rollers carried by the lower ends of the frames, pivoted half rings carried by the opposite ends of the frames, and a strap running through said frame adapted to pass around the lower jaw of the horse, said nose strap being connected to the head gear of a bridle by means of said eye bolts and to the reins by means of said pivoted half-rings, as and for the purpose set forth.
