IMPROVEMENT IN GAG-RUNNER CONNECTIONS FOR BRIDLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 133,834, dated December 10, 1872.
together and to the bridle, as will be more particularly hereinafter described.
In the annexed drawing, A represents an ordinary driving-bridle. B represents'a metallic plate, which is here provided with three loops, 0, d, and e. The loop 6 is for the purpose of securing the plate to the bridle, and also for securing the brow-band. The loop (I is for the purpose of holding the gag-hook, while the loop 0 has a strap connected to it for the purpose of more securely holding the plate B to the crown-piece.
It is not absolutely necessary that the plate B should be constructed precisely as herein represented, as it may be easily varied so that it will perform thethree functions above described.
By the use of this plate, or a similar and equivalent device, I am enabled to confine the rosette to the bridle so that it cannot be lost, and then I form a more permanent and secure fastening for the gag-loop. Ordinarily the gag-loop is connected to thethroat-strap, and a horse with a heavy-or hard bearing head is liable to break the throat-strap from the bridle and, of course, with it the gag-loop.
By the connection herein described the gagloop, being made short or having a short con-- nection, causes the check-line to work in almost a direct line with the cheek-piece, drawin g the bit directly upward in thehorses mouth. This is a great advantage, as in this event a horse cannot lug on the bit, and will carry his head with more style and is generally more easily managed. The strap 1', which connects the plate B to the crown-piece, relieves much of the strain upon the loop 0, takes it all away from the brow-band, and brings the bearing upon the top of the horses head.
The rosette may be secured to the plate by means of a screw or rivet, or otherwise.
The loop 0 might be dispensed with by ex tending the metal of the plate and riveting it to the crown-piece; or the gag-loop might be' riveted to the plate B. These modes of securing would answer; but I do not regard them as being 'so neat or convenient as the mode represented.
Having thus fully described my invention, what 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The metallic plate B, constructed substantially as described and attached to the base of a rosette, as and for the purposes set forth.
2. A gag-loop to a bridle, when connected directly to a metallic plate, B, secured to the base of a rosette, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 25th day of October, 187 2.
