HORN TRAINER Filed (Mi. 8, 1928 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented Dec. 15, 1931 CHARLES ACHENBAGH, or MANI'I'OWOC, wIsconsIn PATENT. OFFICE f i HORN TRAIN Application med octoberaiszs, serial No. 311,142, and in canaaana 4, 1928.
This invention relates tohorn trainers. This invention is an lmprovement over that disclosed in my Patent N 0. 1,681,565 of August 21, 1928, forhorn trainers.
Objects of this invention are to provide'a novel form of horn trainer which is so constructed that the horns may be manipulated,
rotated, or bent at anydesired portion of their length, so that the exact shape desired can be easily Secured.
Further objects are to provide a novel form of horn trainer which is so constructed that a plurality of difler'ent types of horn engaging members may be employed and'any 115 one used with the horn training attachment by merely securing such horn engaging member to a clip or lever arm operated bythe attachment. 7
Further objects are to provide a novel form of horn training device which is of extremely simple construction, which may be readlly produced, and which maybe used in a variety of ways Further objects are to provide a horn engaging attachment which can be used to generally draw the horns towards each other or force them apart, which can'be used to provide a sharp bend at any part'of the horn desired to counteract defects, which may be used to'twist or rotate the horn, and which although having the great flexibility in use, as discussed above, nevertheless is easy to regulate and is cheap toprodu'ce.
Further objects are to provide a horn engaging member in which its parts are reversible, in which spaced arms or apertured plates are provided for engaging a horn atspaced points, and in which means are provided'for I o engaging the horn and preventing rotation of the member with respect to the horn.
Embodiments of theinvention are shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows one form of the device as it appears when applied to the horns to draw them together;
Figure 2 is a view of the device showing it in a difl'erent position; 7 I Figure 3 is a sectional View on the line 3-3 1x50 of Figure 2;
' Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 4 4 of Figure'3;
Figure 5 shows a further form of the de vice; Y V
Figure 6 is a detail of one of the portions illustrated in Figure 5; V
Figure 7 shows astill further form of the 7 device; I W.
Figure 8 is a detail of the form shown in, Figure 7. 1
Referring to the drawings, it will be seen 7 that the horns are indicated by the reference character H and that the horn engaging members 1 are provided with two parallel ears. and with a base portion 2. The ears are aper tured, as shown most clearly in Figure 3, with the aperture in one ear larger than the aperture in the other ear'in order to properly receive the horns which are usually tapered.- A
level arm or clip 3 is removably carried by each of the horn recelving members land con'sists'of a central portion provided with a multitude of apertures 4 at spaced intervals and having a pair of outwardly turned base portions 5 which bear against the innerside of the connecting portion 2 of the horn engaging members. These outwardly turned feet 5 or base portions are secured removably by means of bolts 6 so that any desired type ofho-rn engaging member may be used with so a. one of the lever arms or detachable arms.
I In using the device, a turn buckle 7 has its outwardly projecting threaded stems 8 inwvardly turned to provide end hooks 9; These arms' curve, as shown in'Figure 1, and it is apparent that 1f a sharper'bend 1n the horn is required than that produced in the construction shown in Figure 1, that it is a simple matter-"to reverse the positionof the arms '3 =so;that=they point upwardly (see Figure 4c). Thereafter, when the turn buckle is hooked into the arms and tightened a sharper I bend will be produced in the horns.
In the form shownin Figure 5, means are Y provided for forcing the horns apart. This is alsoreadily accomplished by means primarily of the structure previously described whenassociated with a separating bolt 13 provided with threaded upwardly projecting ears 14 carried thereby. These upwardly projecting arms 14 are provided with hook-like portions 15 which engage the holes 4 in the arms 8, Thus, when the bolt is turned the horns may be pushed apart, as required. It is preferable to provide one or more apertures 15 in the screw 13 so that a pin may be slipped therein and the screw rotated with ease. Suitable locking nuts 16 are provided for locking the parts intheir adjusted position.
Referring to Figure 7 it will be seen that the previously described construction, particularly as shown in Figure 1, is employed. The turn buckle 7 is turned until the slot is vertical. Under these conditions, it is a simple matter to pass the bolt '17 from an ad? ditional attachment upwardly through the turn buckle. This bolt 17 is rigidly carried by the overlapping members 18 of a telescopic base portion. This base portion is provided with divergent downwardly extending looped portions 19 which engage beneath the base of the horns. Preferably, the marginal edges of the overlapping portions 18 are folded to provide guides. Each of the members 18 is slotted, as indicated at 20, and receives the bottom of the bolt 17. After the required adjustment has been secured, the
.bolt 17 is locked in place by means of the nuts 21 positioned on opposite sides of the members 18. Thereafter, the upper horn engaging ,members, previously described, are positioned with the bolt 17 passing through the turn buckle/7, Preferably, a'pair of washers 22 are positioned on opposite sides of the turn buckle and are locked between a wing nut 23 and a lock nut 24. It is apparent that the horns may be drawn downwardly as much as required by gradually tightening the wing nut and backing the lock nut 2 L downwardly. V
It will be seen that a very simple type of horn training device has been provided which may be cheaply constructed, which may be adjusted to correct any one of a multitude of defects in the horns of animals, and which may be used in conjunction with a base portion to draw the horns downwardly towards the head, if required.
It will also be seen that the device is extremely simple and may be cheaply produced and easily applied.
Although the invention has been described in considerable detail, such description is intended as illustrative rather than limiting as the invention may be variously embodied and as the scope of such invention is to be determined as claimed. I
I claim:
1. A horn engaging member including a base portion having laterally disposed spaced ears, said ears having apertures with the aperture in one ear larger than the aperture in the other car, said base portion having a slot therethrough, an arm having a plurality of perforations therethrough extended through the slot with laterally disposed portions extending over the base and secured thereto.
2. A horn engaging member including a base portion having laterally disposed spaced ears, said ears having apertures with the aperture in one ear larger than the aperture in the other ear, said base portion having a' slot therethrough, an arm having a plurality of perforations therethrough extended through the slot with laterally disposed portions extending over the base and secured thereto, said ears having V-shaped notches and V-shaped clips fitted within said notches with their edges projecting into the apertures in the ears. 4
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Manitowoc, in the county of Manitowoc and State of Wisconsin.
