SEVVELL STAVELY HEPBRON, OF OLD CHURCH, VIRGINIA.
HEAD-PROTECTOR FOR Hoases.
SPBCIFICATICN forming part of Letters Patent No. 367,520, dated August 2, 1887.
Application filed November 16, 1886. Serial No. 219,084. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SnwnLL STAVELY HEP- BRON, (a minister of the Gospel.) residing at Old Church, in the county of Hanover and State of Virginia, have invented a new and improved head-protector for preventing flies from annoying the upperpart of the neck and ears of horses while being driven in harness; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention consists of a drooping tassel made of twisted cords or leather thongs, and means shown and described for supporting the same. It stands upright on top of the horses head, between the ears, and drops down over the back of the neck. It is secured to its position by being attached to the bridle, as herein below described.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I herein describe its construction and operation.
In the drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspectivc view, showing the protector applied to a horse; Fig. 2, a longitudinal elevation; and Fig. 3, a bottom plan view of the parts composing my invention.
The base A is composed of arched iron or wood, which is covered with a leather strap. B, riveted to the base at a, and the ends of this strap run down with the headpiece of the bridle behind the ears, and are provided with hooks, as c, to hook into the buckle at the top of the cheek-strap, to which the blind or winkcr is attached. The center of this leather covering is provided with a slot, 1), on its front side, into which the upper end ofthe blind-supporter is made to pass after it has I been buckled and before entering its keeper. By this means the tassel is prevented from going either forward or backward.
In the center of the iron arch forming the base I drill a hole, through which a screw or bolt, 0, is passed into the foot of an upright standard, H, to secure it to the base A. This standard I make of either wood oriron, finishing at the top with a knob, over which my tassel D is made. This tassel droops down over the neck and head of the horse, acting as a brush with every motion of the animals head, At its upper end itis finished with small tassels d, (of a dilferent color,) which droop down over the large tassel, and are intended to decorate it. The whole forms a neat ornament which decorates the head of the animah NVhat I claim as my invention is- 1. As an article of manufacture, the headprotector for horses herein described, which consists of the curved or arched base and the upright standard supported thereon and pro vided with depending tassels, all arranged and adapted for attachment to a bridle as substantially set forth.
2. As an articleof manufacture, the headprotector for horses, which consists of the curved or arched base, the upright standard provided with depending tassels, and the strap attached to said base, provided with means for securing the protector to a bridle, all substantially as set forth.
SEWELL STAVELY HEPBRON.
