UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOSEPH A. SAUNDERS, OF QUAKER HILL, INDIANA.
ANIMAL-MUZZLE.
SPECIFICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,408, dated September 21, 1886,
Application filed February 1, 1886. Serial No. 100,477. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, J osnrn A. SAUNDERS; a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Quaker Hill, in the county of Vermilion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Animal-Muzzles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to improvements in animal-muzzles; and it consists of two bars provided with nose-bulbs pivoted to a muzzleplate and a spring lock-bar constructed as hereinafter fully set forth and claimed.
In. the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front view, and Fig. 2 is a bottom view, showing the pivoted bars closed and locked. Fig. 3 is a front view, and Fig. 4 is a bottom view, showing the pivoted bars unlocked and opened. Fig. 5 is a top view. Fig. 6 is a central vertical section showing the position of the spring and lock-bar when the pivoted bars are closed and locked; and Fig. 7 is the same section showing the position of the spring and lock-bar when the pivoted bars are unlocked.
A designates the muzzle-plate, having on its inner side the concave recess a, to form an easy bearing against the nose or lip of the animal.
B B designate bars pivoted to the outside ofplate A. The upper portion of these pivoted bars is curved inward and upward, as shown at h h, and terminates with the nosebulbs a, adapted, in their construction and their location relatively to each other to be inserted and fastened in an animals nose, and form easy bearings against the cartilage of the nose.
0 designates a lock-bar constructed the proper size to fit between the lower ends, I) b, of the pivoted bars, to lock them in position when the muzzle is placed on an animals nose. This lock-bar is attached to the lower end of a flat spring, 0-, which is extended upward and attached at the upper end to the plate A. The pivoted bars and the lock-bar spring are partly inclosed by the plate D, secured to the bars d df, attached to the plate A, which bars are of the requisite thickness to allow space between the plates A D for the pivoted bars to move freely, and these bars (I d are placed in position, as shown, to form bearings for the pivoted bars, so as to prevent the nose-bulbs from being pressed together too tightly against the cartilage of the nose. The under side of the lower portion of the plate D is provided with a recess, 1), to allow the requisite play to the lock-bar spring, and the lower edge of the lock-bar is provided with a lip, c, adapting the bar to be readily raised out of its locking position,
signed and adapted to prevent the muzzle from being turned back over the nose. When the animal attempts to thus remove the muzzle from its mouth, the upward curves strike against the front of the nose or head and prevent the upward backward movement of the muzzle-plate.
This muzzle, very simple and inexpensive in construction, is well adapted to prevent a calf from sucking, and also to prevent a cow from sucking herself, and this construction of the device dispenses entirely with the cruel barbs commonly used.
I am aware that. heretofore calf weaners have been provided with muzzle-plates and different kinds of attaching devices, and I do not claim such muzzle-plates, broadly; but
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination of the muzzle-plate A,
the pivoted bars B B, arranged in suitable JOSEPH A. SAUNDERS.
