BRIDLE-BIT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 25, 1%15.
Application filed June 2'7, 1914. Serial No. 847,739.
T all to 710m it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES H. FALLs, a citizen of the United States, residing at IVaterloo, in the county of Blackhawk 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 in vention, 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 new and useful improvements in bits and particularly in the provision of a bit having a mouthpiece with integral cheek pieces at the end thereof, and in the provision of a suitable rod passing through an aperture in the bit and upon which the latter is ournaled, suitable bearings being provided between the two members.
The invention comprises various details of construction, combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bit made in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view through the mouthpiece of the bit. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the inner face of one of the snaftles. Fig. l is a similar view of the mouthpiece in the face of the cheek piece at the end of the bit. Fig. 5 is a face View of a modified form of snaflie and in which a circular groove is adapted to hold a ring. Fig. 6 is a similar view of the snaffle and the opposite end of bit. Fig. 7 is a cross sectional view through the modified form.
Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A. designates a mouth-piece to the bit which has flanged ends B curved preferably as shown and is provided with a central aperture for the reception of the rod D, which latter has preferably right threads at one end and left threads at the other and forms a bearing for the mouth-piece. Snaflies, designated each by letter E and to which the check straps or chains are adapted to be connected, are provided with threaded apertures adapted to secure the ends of the rod and each snaffie adjacent to the aperture through which the rod passes is provided with an annular groove II, forming a raceway for the balls J. Each end of the mouth-piece is provided with an annular groove L about the central aperture therein and cooperates with the annular groove in the snaffle to form bearings for said balls. Nuts N are fitted to the threaded ends of the rod after the snaffles have been secured in place.
In Figs. 5 to 7 of the drawings, I have shown a slight modification of the invention in which, in place of the balls shown in Fig. 52, it is my purpose to utilize a ring T of metal and' which rests in the two complemental grooves S and S, formed respectively in the outer faces of the cheek pieces at the ends of the bit and the snafiles E and which may be utilized in place of the balls if so desired. In the modified form of the drawings, a screw W is fitted in an aperture in one snafiie and engages one end of the rod D while the other end of the latter is threaded as at D and engages a threaded aperture in the other snaffle.
By the provision of a bit made in accordance with my invention, it will be noted that the cheek pieces, made integral with the bit, will be easy upon the mouth of the animal and the bearings so arranged that they may be regulated by the nuts upon the ends of the rod. The parts are so arranged that foreign matter will not readily enter the grooves forming the bearing.
What I claim to be new is 1. A bit comprising a mouth-piece having circular outlined ends forming cheek plates and provided with a longitudinal aperture extending the length thereof, the outer faces of said flanges being provided each with a groove concentric with the aperture in the mouth piece, a rod passing through the latter and provided with threaded ends which project beyond the ends of the mouth-piece, snaiiies having openings for the reception of the projecting ends of said rod, each snaflie having a widened portion about the aperture therein and in the inner face of which is formed an annular groove arranged to mg ister with the flanged end of the mouthpiece, nuts fitted to the threaded ends of the rod, and bearings within said grooves.
2. A bit comprising a mouth-piece having circular outlined ends forming cheek plates and provided with a longitudinal aperture extending the length thereof, the outer faces of said flanges being provided each with a groove concentric with the aperture in the mouth-piece, a rod passing through the latter and provided with threaded ends which project beyond the ends of the mouth-piece, snaflies having openings for the reception of the projecting ends of said rod, each snaflie having a widened portion about the aperture therein and in the inner face of which is formed an annular groove arranged to register with the flanged end of the mouth-piece,'nuts fitted to the threaded ends of the rod and balls mounted within said grooves.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES H. FALLS.
