'Patented my 2,1875.
Nam-16,790."
UNITEDy f STATES PATENT OEEIOE DAVID E. JOHNSTON, OE TOPEKA, KANSAS.
I IMPROVEN'IE-NT IN CALF-WEANERS.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,790, dated May 2, 1876; application filed October 2, 1875.
To all whom,V it may concern:
Be it known that I, DAVID H. JOHNSTON, ot' Topeka, county of Shawnee and State of Kansas have invented a Oa-lf-Weaner, ot' which the following is a specification:
My invention is a device intended to keep calves, colts, or other young animals from e sucking, in order to weau them, and also to prevent cowsfrom 'sucking themselves; and it is constructed as lnore particularly described in the following speciiicatiou and accompanying drawing.
In weaners as ordinarily made a muzzle filled with spikes is strapped over or above the mouth Oi' the animal; or a series of spikes mounted upon a metal bridge is fastened to its .nose by clips, which take into the nostrils.-
edge smooth and blunt. This shield is to be hung in the animals nose by suitable means, so that the ledge may project in front, its angie being such that in grazing it will slide almost parallel over the surface of the ground, but will prevent the head being placed in any position permitting sucking. I prefer to at:
tach the shield by clips, as Shown in the drawing, b being a clip, knobhed at its end and rigidly secured to the shield, while a is a corresponding clip, swin gin g back and forth upon a pivot at e, and clamped in position by the thumb-screw d, which, when loosened, follows and limits the play of the clip by means of the curved slot in the shield at g.
Any other arrangementot', or mode of operating, the clips may be adopted which will hold the shield in the proper position.
I claim as lny invention- 1, A calf-weaner consisting of the flanged shield, provided with sui-.table means for attaching it to the nose, substantially as described. j
2. The combination of the flanged shield, the stationary clip b, the swinging clip a, and the thumb-screw, substantially as described.
DAVID H. JOHNSTON.
