SADDLE CLEANING CRADLE i AFiled May 16, 1946 v INVENTOR. h -Jyaroz Mmrle S' ATTE! R N EYB Patented Feb. 10, 1948 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SADDLE CLEANING CRADLE Marion I. Voorhes, Lexington, Ky.
Application May 16, 1946, Serial No. 670,120
2 Claims. l
The invention relates to a saddle cleaning cradle, and the main object of the invention is to provide a cleaning cradle that is adapted to support a flat or English riding saddle while the under-surface, side next tothe horse, is being cleaned.
The cradle is joined without the use of nails or glue, having all edges rounded to prevent darnage to the saddle when in use.
With the above and other objects and advantages in View, the invention consists of the novel details of construction, arrangement and combination of parts more fully hereinafter described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is an elevational View of the cradle with a saddle in position thereon;
Figure 2 is a side View thereof;
Figure 3 is a rear View thereof;
Figure 4 is a top plan View thereof and Figure 5 is a front View thereof.
Referring more in detail to the drawing, the reference numeral l0 designates the cradle which comprises the sides l2, front end spacing block I4 and rear end spacing block I6.
The sides and end blocks have flat bottom edges and the sides and blocks are joined by screws not shown and the openings formed at the heads of the screws are plugged by dowels I 8. The block I4 is of a lesser dimension than the block I6, so that the sides are inwardly inclined as shown in Figure 4 so that when the pommel of the saddle is positioned adjacent the block I4, the saddle is firmly supported by the cradle.
The sides are similar in shape, each having the portion 2U, which has the upper convex edge 22, the neck portion 24, having the upper concave edge 2li which joins the portion 28, having the straight upper edge 30. The upper edges of the sides and the rear edges 32 are all rounded to prevent damage to the saddle 34 when it is positioned as shown in Figure 1, and the upper edges of the sides conform to the shape thereof to rigidly support the saddle during the cleaning thereof.
The end blocks are provided with vertical bores 36 to receive bolts 38 for attaching the cradle to a suitable support 40.
The saddle is placed upside down in the cradle, so the under-surface thereof is accessible for cleaning and the cradle being made of wood with rounded corners will not damage the saddle While it is being cleaned.
It is believed the use for which the cradle is designed and the construction thereof will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and it is to be understood that changes in the size and overall dimensions thereof may be resorted to, pro- I vided they fall within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described the invention, what 1s claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. A cradle for supporting a saddle during a cleaning operation which comprises, front and rear end facing blocks, said front end facing block being of lesser dimension than said rear end facing block, and a plurality of side portions extending between said front and rear end facing blocks, said side portions being provided with straight bottom edges and convexoconcave upper edges.
2. A cradle for supporting a saddle during a cleaning operation which comprises front and rear end facing blocks, one of said blocks being provided with means for mounting said cradle on a suitable support, and a plurality of side portions extending between said front and rear end facing blocks, said side portions inclined inwardly from said rear end blocks to said front end blocks.
