NOSE-BAG FOR HORSES.
menace.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 7, 1916.
Application filed November 19, 1915. Serial No. 62,364.
Be it known that I, VVILLLAM H. COOPER,
a citizen of the United States, residing at East St. Louis, in the county of St. Clair and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Nose-Bags for Horses, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to nose bags for horses, and it has for its object to produce a nose bag of simple and improved construction whereby the nose bag will be automatically lifted as its contents are eaten so that the contents will be constantly kept conveniently accessible to the animal wearing the nose bag.
A further object of the invention is to produce a nose bag of simple and improved construction having a gravity device whereby it is counterbalanced so as to keep it in convenient position while in use.
With these and other ends in view which will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the improved construction and novel arrangement and combination of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawing has been illustrated a simple and preferred form of the invention, it being, however, understood that no limitation is necessarily made to the precise structural details therein exhibited, but that changes, alterations and modifications within the scope of the claims may be resorted to when desired.
In the drawing-Figure 1 is a side view showing the nose bag attached to the head of a horse. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the nose bag detached.
Corresponding parts in both figures of the drawing are denoted by like characters of reference.
The nose bag 15 is provided at its-upper edge with a spreading hoop 16. The head stall of the bridle is provided at the intersection of the brow band 17 with the head strap 18 and the throat latch 18 with pulleys 19 that are suitably connected with the connecting rings 19, the connection being preferably effected by means of hooks 20 or in some fashion that will enable the pulleys to be readily detached from the supportin rings 19. Over each pulley 19 is guide a flexible supporting element 20 one end of which is connected with the spread opposite sides thereof.
To limit the upward movement of the nose bag the flexible elements or cords 20 are each provided with a stop member consisting of a collar 2% secured by a set screw 25 at a point between the pulley 19 and the spreading hoop 16. These stop members may be conveniently adjusted to arrest the upward movement of the nose bag under the influence of the weight 22 at any predetermined point, thereby preventing annoyance to the animal by holding the nose bag in close contact with its mouth when the bag is empty. 7
It will be readily seen that when the device is applied for use, as in Fig. 1, the weight 22 will serve to maintain the contents of the bag in convenient position to be reached by the mouth of the horse, thereby overcoming a serious objection to the use of nose bags as ordinarily constructed and which, when the contents are no longer conveniently reached, are tossed and thrown upward by the horse with the result that a large proportion of the contents is wasted. By the use of the simple device herein shown, the feed is easily reached by the horse until the lastgrain has been eaten.
If it be found desirable at any time to lower the bag from the mouth of the animal for the purpose of inspecting ,or adding to the contents, this may be readily accomplished by taking hold of the weight 22 as a handle and lifting the same, thus permitting the bag to gravitate downwardly until the interior thereof is readily accessible.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is
1. The combination with a head stall having guide members at opposite sides thereof, of a nose bag having a spreading hoop at its upper edge, supporting elements guided the guide members and equipped With snaps connected with the hoop at diametrically opposite'sides thereof, and an elongated Weight with Which the other ends of the supporting elements are connected.
2' The combination With a head stall having guide members at opposite sides thereof, of a nose bag having a spreading hoop at its upper edge, supporting elements guided over the guide members and equipped With snaps connected with the hoop at diametrically opposite sides thereof, and an elongated Weight with which the other ends of the supporting elements are connected; and a neck encircling strap having its ends connected With the ends of the elongated Weight. 7
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
WILLIAM COOPER.
