EDVTARD F. LEE, OF PLATTE CENTER, NEBRASKA.
ATTACHMENT FOR HOG-S NOSES.
Application filed June 21, 1923.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD F. LEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Platte Center, in the county of Platte, State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Hogs Noses; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will en- 1 able others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in devices for attachment to the noses of hogs.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a device, which is adapted to be secured to the nose of a hog, and which will prevent the hog biting chickens, while at the same time permitting the hog to eat.
Another object is to provide a device of this character which will prevent the hog getting a chicken into its mouth, and which will prop the hogs mouth in open position, should the hog open the mouth too far.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the preferred form of the device applied to the hogs nose, and in normal position.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the device, showing the position assumed when the hog opens its mouth, the dotted position showing the ring within the mouth and propping the mouth open.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a modified form of the device.
Figure 4: is a perspective view of a further modification of the device.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, and especially to Figures 1 and 2, it will be seen that the main portion of the 455 device is formed from a single length of stiff spring wire, and includes the circular ring portion 10, which is of greater diameter than the end of the hogs nose, and the stem portion 11, which extends from the upper side of the ring portion transversely of the ring, and to a considerable distance beyond the other side of the ring, where it is curved outwardly to a slight degree, as shown at 12. The upper end of the stem is connected $5 with the ring by the ordinary hook-andeye twist 13, and engaged on the ring. At
Serial No. 646,931.
opposite sides of the said twist, are the attaching rings 14, which are forced through the upper edge of the hogs nose, as clearly seen in Figures 1 and 2. The device is thus loosely suspended in front of the hogs nose, and should the hog open its mouth, as when attempting to bite a chicken, the stem will act as a barrier, to prevent entrance of the chicken. Should the hog open its-mouth M. to a distance greater than the diameter ofthe ring portion 10, in an effort to overcome the barrier effect of the stem, the lower portion of the ring would enter themouth andrest onthe lower jaw, thus propping the mouth open. The hog would then be forced to open the mouth and drag the stem on the ground to effect the disengagement of the ring from the mouth and permit the closing of the mouth. The construction of the device, and the manner in which it is suspended from the nose, does not interfere with the ordinary habits of the hog, as it can swing the device upwardly, by contacting the stem with the ground, thus placing the device out of the way for feeding purpose.
In the form shown in Figure 3, the ends of the ring portion 15 are formed with eyes L6, and then continued downwardly and in wardly, where they are twisted together, at 17, and extended downwardly across the ring to form the stem 18 Engaged in each of the eyes 16 is an attaching ring 19, of similar construction to the rings 14-. This form is attached to the hogs nose, and operates in the same manner as the first form, the eyes serving to more properly retain the attaching rings in their positions.
In the form shown in Figure 4, the eye portions 20, instead of being twisted together, are continued downwardly across the ring 21, in the form of two stems 22. The attaching rings 23 are engaged in the eye portions, as in the form of Figure 3.
From the foregoing it will readily be seen that the hog cannot get objects into its mouth except when its head is lowered, and the stem is engaged with the ground, or the side of a feeding trough, any attempt to get anything into its mouth, with the head raised, will be efiectively prevented.
Should the animal raise its head before attempting to open its mouth, the ring would swing rearwardly so as to lie beneath the lower jaw, and thereby effectively prevent the mouth being opened.
Upon lowering the head, the ring will swing forwardly to release" the lower jaw of the animal, whether the ring had been disposed within the mouth or beneath the jaw.
hat is claimed is:
1. A device for attachment to the nose of a hog including an attaching portion, a barrier portion, and a ring portion of greater diameter than the animals nose and arranged to swing into position to embrace the upper and lower jaws of a hog when the head is raised to prevent opening the mouth.
2'. A muzzle device for a hog comprising a portion adapted to be suspended on'the hogs nose and arranged to enter the mouth or engage beneath the aw of the hog, and a barrier portion adapted to prevent entrance of anything into the'mouth While the head is elevated from the ground. I
3. A muzzle device for a hog-comprising a ring portion, means for suspending the ring portion on the nose of a hog,and in frontof the mouth, and a depending barrier portion carried by and spaced outwardly of "the ring portion, said ring portion being arranged to enter and prop the mouth open and maintain the barrier portion in position to prevent entry of anything when the head is raised.
4:. A muzzle device for a hog comprising a ring having eye portions, attaching rings carried by the eye portions, a barrier bar carried by the ring and extending transversely thereof and beyond the opposite side, the barrier bar being adapted to prevent entrance of objects into the mouth of the hog, the ring portion being of a diameter to enter the mouth to prop the same in open position, at times, and to engage beneath the lower jaw ofthe hog, at times, to prevent opening of the mouth.
Intestimony whereof, I afliX my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
