WILLIAM S. MARSH, OF NEW GLOUCESTER, MAINE.
IMPROVEMENT IN HORSE-PROTECTORS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 178,867, dated J one 20, 1876; application filed May 12, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WM. S. MARSH, of New Gloucester, in the countyot' Cumberland and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horse-Protector; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will K enable others skilled in the art to which -it .ening the standards to the frame. Fig. 5 shows the hinge used in closing up the frame.
Same letters show like parts.
The object of my invention is to produce a device for protecting horses, while harnessed to vehicles, from heat, rain, and also promote their comfort While working.
a shows a frame in two parts, hinged at b. The two parts are kept straight and rigid by the bolt 0 passing through the eyes 01 on each side of the hinge b. The frame a is composed of the side pieces 6, the cross-pieces f, and the center part g. Over this frame is spread a thin rubber or canvas covering. The four supports h are provided with holes 72. Into these fit the points j, projecting downwardly on the sides of the frame a. A pin, h, passes horizontally through the top parts of these supports and under a shoulder on one of the points j. The supports are thus secured to the frame. By means of the joint lthe sup- I ports h can be folded inwardly down flat when the device is not in use. The supports h can be lengthened or shortened by turning the thumb-screw m, and hoisting or lowering the frame, passing the supports h through the sockets 10. (1 shows bows to pass around the shafts, and, with the aid of thumb-screws r, to hold the deviceupon the same. Thefeet s are pivoted to the ends of the supports h.
Fig. 3 shows the device so modified as to fasten to a pole to support two frames for the protection of a span of horses. The arms t extend over the backs of the two horses, andv enter the eyes a, where they may be fastened by any convenient device. The standards h rise from the pole. The method-of fastening and lengthening the standard is the same as before described. Two of this form are used, and afford a support to two coverings, one over each horse. By withdrawing the boltc the frame and covering can be folded together two witnesses.
