ADRIEN PURSON, OF STENAY, MEUSE, FRANCE.
APPARATS FOR BATHING THE FEET OF HORSES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 353,428, dated November 30, 1886. Application led July 7, 1386. Serial No. 207.380. (No model.) Patented in France February 26,1886, No. 174,342.
To all whom it mag/ conccrm Be it known that I, ADRIEN PUEsoN, of Stenay,in the Department ofthe Meuse, France, have invented an Improved Apparatus for Bathing the Feet of Horses, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent of France for fifteen years, dated February 26, 1886, No.' 174,3423) and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being made to the accompanying drawings.
The accompanying drawings clearly. show my improved apparatus for washing the feet and legs of horses.
Figure l is a vertical section thereof. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, and Fig. 3 a plan, of the apparatus. Fig. 4 shows the manner of applying the same.
The apparatus consists of a cylindrical bucket or pail, a, made of water-proof cloth, about twenty-six inches high and eleven inches, or thereabout, in diameter. To form this cylindrical bucket or pail, a piece of cloth is folded in the direction of its height so that the two edges may overlie each other on a distance of about four-ifths of an inch. These edges are attached together by means of two seams.
The bottom a consists of a circular piece of the same cloth and of the same diameter as that of theV cylindrical part to which it is stitched. To keep thepupper edge of the pediluvium in its circularshape, a ring, b, of iron wire of a sufficient resistance, is inserted in a hem provided for the purpose at the upper edge of the vessel. Below this upper edge the bucket is provided with four eyes, c c c c, arranged at a distance of about two inches apart on each side of the two ends of the diameter perpendicular to that through which the seam passes. At the point which is diametrically opposite to the seam there is an overiiow tube or nozzle, d, for the discharge of any excess of water. This tube or nozzle is made and attached in the following manner: It is constructed of malleable tinned cast-iron, projects outward, and is bent down under a suitture of the bucket or pail. To this plate is riveted a counter-plate, e, exactly similaito the former. Between the two the thickness of the casing of the bucket and a sheet of indiarubber, e, (similar in shape to the metal parts,) are interposed. At the upper part of the longitudinal seam a buckle, f, is provided for the attachment of a girth, which willbe mentioned further on.
Between nozzle d and each of the two eyes c which are nearest thereto, below the upper edgef two rings of tinned iron, g g', are fixed inside the bucket, in a horizontal direction,
by means of iiaps of cloth and rivets. At` about fourteen inches below these rings, exactly opposite to them-z'. e., on the same two vertical lines-two similar rings, h h', are ar ranged. A movable tube or pipe, t, made of cloth, freely engages within either pair of rings, gh or gh, thus formed, according as the bath is prepared for the right or left member of the animal, it being necessary always to place pipe t externally with relation to the leg. This pipet is about twenty-two inches long and surmounted by a stationary funnel, k, equally made of cloth, and the bore and depth of which should be conveniently proportioned.
To protect thebottom aofthe bucket against the action of the foot of the horse, a movable bottom or disk, m, made of iir or other wood, may be readily inserted therein or removed therefrom. In this disk holes n are bored in more or less symmetrical positions. To prevent the said disk from floating, a leaden strap, m, is attached by nails to its periphery.
To the screw-threaded part of nozzle d a,
pipe or hose, o, Fig. 4, of cloth or rubber, may be attached for the purpose of discharging water when it is deemed necessary.
Through the pairs of eyes c @strings r r are passed, the ends of which are stitched or otherwise rmly connected together within, so as to form two permanent handles.
To keep the bucket in place while it is being used for bathing one of the fore legs of the horse, a surcingle, s, made of a girth and bolstered up at its supporting-points', is placed upon the counter of the horse and'provided at its ends with straps u u', having suitable buckles for the connection of handles rr with the surcingle. Another strap or girth, o, is on the breast, to prevent the surcingle from moving backward; and, lastly, a removable girth, v', sliding along this breast-strap with its upper end, so as to be adapted to serve either for the left or for the right me1nber,`is attached by its free end to the buckle f of the bucket. To support the latter when it is used for washing one of the hind legs of the horse, I add to the beforementioned surcingle a back-band or girth, attached to a buckle, s2, arranged between the two cushions or bolstered parts s at the back edge of the surcingle. This backband, Which may be elongated or shortened atWill, owing to the eyes, terminates in a crupper-dock, w', also consisting of a girth. It carries at the level ofthe hips another surcingle similar tc that of the counter, and also provided with straps and buckles z z', except that it has no bolstered part.
Having now fully described all parts of my apparatus for bathing the feet and legs of horses and the manner in which it is to be applied, What I claim as my invention, and desire to secu re by Letters Patent, is-
The flexible bucket or pail of water-proof cloth, the same being constructed with the eyes c c, and combined with inner rings, g g', discharge-pipe d, and Weighted removable bottom m, substantially as herein shown and de- Y scribed.
ADRIEN PURSON.
