DRlVlNG-CHECK FOR HORSES.
EPEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,006, dated June 2, 1885.
I Application filed March 30, 1685.
[0 a-ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Enasros LOVELL MET- CALF, of Franklin, in the county of Norfolk, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Driving-Checks for Horses; and I do hereby declare the same to be described in the following specification and represented in the ac colnpanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is a perspective view, Fig. 2 atop view, and Fig. 3 a side elevation, of a drivingchcck of my invention, the nature of which is defiuedin the clainihereinafterpresented. Fig.
shows the check as applied to the head of a horse. Fig. 5 is a rear view of the nose-band, while Fig. 6 is a rear view of the clamp.
The said driving-check is to answer the purpose of a bit as used in the mouth of a horse, and is to encompass the head at the nose and above the rear lip of the animal.
In the drawings, A denotes a nose-band in the form, in top view, of a semiellipse, it terminating at each of its ends in quadrantal enlargements or projections a Z), one of which projects above and the other below the bow. In each enlargement there is a curved slot, 0. Extending outwardly from each enlargement is a plate, cl, shaped as shown, such plate being provided with ears I) b, in which are held the journals of a friction-roller, e, the whole forming an eye.
In rear of the nose-band A is a clamp, 13, of arched form, and having a slot, h, in it near each end of it, such slot being to receive one of two looped straps, O, that go through the eyes of the nose-band and at their outer ends through rings f, connected to the reins D D by snap-hooks g g.
(No model.)
The nose-band, is to go around the nose of a horse, while the bow or clamp is to extend in rear of the head just above the rear lip, the nose-band being suspended by the straps of the head-stalls buckled through the slots of the upper enlargements, a. The slots of the lower enlargements, b, are to receive the martingale, which is to be buckled into them.
On pulling backward the reins the noseband and the clamp will be drawn tightly around the nose and rear jaw of the animal, and in general will check his advance or stop him. \Nhen one only of the reins is pulled, the clamp at one end will be drawn against the next adjacent eye of thenoseba-nd, whereby the horse will be turned as with abit when one rein is pulled.
I am aware that a substitute for a bit has been made by using a nose-band and a band under the jaw, the reins passing through loops at the ends of the former and connected to the ends of the latter. The loops in my device are made with the rollers e, which insure a free and easy movement of the reins, avoiding danger of their catching in the corners, and tending materially to reduce the wear.
\Vhat I claim is- The nose-band A, having the enlargements a- I), provided with curved slots 0, and eye con sisting of plate (1 and roller 6, in combination with the clamp B and the looped straps G 0,
all constructed and arranged as and for the purpose specified.
