BLINDER FOR BRIDLES.
fiPECIFIC'ATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 321,112, dated. June 30, 1885.
Application filed November 20, 1884. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HERBERT A. J OHNSON, of Medina, in the county of Orleans and Stale of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Blinders for Harness; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of one of the blinders. Fig. 2 is a top edge view of the same.
My improvement relates to blinders or winkers attached to the bridle for the purpose of shading the horses eyes. These blinders are usually made of leather and are expensive.
I construct the blinder of paper pulp pressed in a suitable mold.
The invention consists, as a new article of manufacture, of a blinder made of paper-pulp or paper-board, the body of which is hardened to retain proper form and receive proper finish, while the flange is left comparatively soft and flexible to allow it to be attached to the bridle by stitching or otherwise, as hereinafter more fully described.
In the drawings, A shows the blinder, which is of usual form, consisting of the main body a and the angular flange b,by which the blinder is attached to the bridle by sewing or other means. In the upper outer corner is a small hole, 0, for the attachment of the stay; or, instead of this, a slot may be made in the upper outer edge, as shown in Fig. 2; or any other suitable means may be used for the purpose.
In carrying out my invention the pulp or board is pressed in a suitable mold or die in the ordinary manner of pressing articles from pulp. The main body portion a is then dipped in a solution of waterproof and hardening material, which coats the surface, and also partially fills the body and prepares it for the glazing, japanning, or other finishing process.
If desired, the device may be struck up with embossing or other ornamental work, which may be gilded, bronzed, silvered, or otherwite 5 prepared.
In the act of waterproofing and hardening and finishing the pad, the angular flange b is left unfinished and unhardened, being naturally in a comparatively soft and flexible state, 0 and therefore the stitching necessary to atiach it to the bridle can be passed through it without trouble and without marring or de facing the finished portion of the pad. If the flange were stiffened and glazed like the main 55 portion of the pad, the stitching could not be passed through it.
By the means above described blinders can be made from paper-pulp or paper board prc' senting as highly finished a surface as leather, 6o
assubstantial and enduring, much lighter, and at much less cost; and they can be attached to the bridle as readily as leather.
Having described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Fat 6 cut, is
As a new article of manufacture, a blinder made from paper-pulp or paper-board, the body portion of which is waterproofed, hardened, and finished, and the flange of which is 70 HERBERT A. JOHNSON.
