ALVA S. JOHNSTON, OF BOZEMAN, MONTANA TERRITORY.
BRIDLE-BlT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 356,942, dated February 1, 1887.
Application filed July 7, 1886. Serial No. 207,344. (No model.)
To a-ZZ whom/it may concern.-
Be it known that LALVA SUTTON Jonns'ron, of Bozeinan, in the county of Gallzttin and Territory of Montana, have invented a new and Improved Horse-Bit, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding part-sin all the figures.
Figure- 1 is a side elevation of my new and improved horse-bit as it appears when closed. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the bit open, and Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the bit closed.
The invention will first be described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claims.
A represents the month-piece or bar of the bit. This is made of the two parts a a, crossed in the center and pivoted upon the central pin, (6. Connected to each end of the bar a is a side piece, B, and connected to each end of the bar a. is a side piece, 0. The side pieces, B O are by preference curved, and each pair is hinged together by a connectingpin, I), so they constitute circular side pieces of the bit, and at the same time permit the bars a a to open and close, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The upper side pieces, B O, are each formed with a ring, B, into which the cheek-strap of the bridle buckles, and each lower side piece is formed with a ring, G, into which the lines or reins buckle. The side pieces, B O, and bars a a are normally held closed by the two springs D, one applied to each set of side pieces, B C. These springs are by preference made circular, and attached at their ends to the projections cl (Z, and held from displacement by the loops or staples 0 c, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
The action of the bit is such that when no strain is put upon the reins the springs D close the parts of the bar A, so. it is as easy in the horses mouth as a plain or common bit; but when strain is put upon the reins the parts at a will open, turning upon the pivot m, and thus become very severe on the horses mouth, so that he may be easily controlled.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The bar A, composed of the centrally pivoted and crossed pieces a a, provided at their ends with the side pieces, B O, hinged together, in combination with springs arranged to close the side pieces and the parts a a of the bar A, substantially as described.
2. The side pieces, B C, each formed with a ring and hinged together, in combination with the springs D, and the bar A, composed of the cross-pivoted bars a a, the side pieces, B 0, being connected to the bars a a, respectively, substantially as described.
ALVA S. JOHNSTON.
