MOLDED BRIDLLWINKER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Parent N. 376,742, dated January 24*l Issa..
Application filed May 10, 1887. Serial o. 237,771. (No modehl .To @ZZ whom, iv' may Concern: f
Be it known that I, LEWIS S. HOYT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county lof Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Molded Bridle Winkers, of which the following is a specification.
The purpose of my improved invention is to produce economically a winker for horses bridles which may readily be adjusted to any angle required, and which efficiently combines strength and durability, united with an elegance of design and rigidity of construction Y not previously attained in the production of this line of manufacture. Her'etofore the abstruction of bridle-winkers detracts to an appreciable degree from the appearance of this very prominent portion of the harness,as well as lessens to a great extent kits economic value. These important desiderata I attain through the devices illustrated inthe annexed drawings and the construction therein shown, wherein, K
Figure 1 exhibits my improved invention in its application, Fig. 2 being a side elevation of the molded winker with the cheek-strap thereto attached. Fig. 3 combines a three quarter section in perspective and a vertical central section to exhibit the embedded ornament or initial. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the modified construction of myinvention. Fig. 5 is aplan of the body re-enforc'ement or strengthening-frame previous to its embed'- ment in said winker.
rSimilar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views thereof, referring to which-f y AA designates the winker, preferablylcomposed of granulated cork and rubber or other rubber compounds set to shape'in molds by vulcanization.
D, so bent as to form contiguous angles E,
from said strap C, wherein they arectirmly secured by stitches, as illustrated'at F, 2,
@through the refiexed projecting shoulders or by rivets or other analogous' means.l`
Through the medium of said shouldersD,`I accomplish my purpose ofsetting saidfwinker at. any angle I may desire, which position is assured and maintained by the adjustment of said bifurcated frontal straps Q, it being obvious that with such rigid adjustment, as aforesaid, I can support my winker at any selected angle, even in the absence of said frontal-straps. y
The several re entering loops G extend to ward thecenter of the winker such a distance as may be deemed necessary to impartstreng'th to the product. '.Protruding from' the upper edge of the winker, near the corner H, a loop K, is formed to receiver the adjusting frontv strap, Q, which as an auxiliary assistsin'mairr taining the positionV ofthe winker,which conforms tothe angles assumed by the projecting shoulders D-the result of individual caprice vision. ,c v v In the-manufactureof my winkers I `purpose, as illustrated in Fig. 3, to Yplace 'a metallicmonogram, letter, or design', R, in the mold before placing inmy compound, whichafter vulcanizatw-ion remains firmly fixed in the winker, thereby ornamenting the surfacelot'v the same with characteristic designs Vto suit.`
the requirements of trade. By previously adding saidornate embellishmentsI amgenabled to supply consumers with greater e'xpe-` dition than ordinarily.
In the production of my goods, where no metallic design is wanted as an ornament,'but
rather araisedigure or initial, or the edge 1 bordered to imitate stitching, as in Fig. 1, I f prepare the mold so that my plastic compound t will' conform to the Same, and when ready tol be taken therefrom will remain a fac-simile of the mold` prepared, which product maybe readily lacquered or japanned. f
In the production of my goods, wherein no metal strengthening-frame'is emp'loyed, the' 1 modified construction, as exhibited in Fig. 4l,
may be adopted, wherein N designates the' ICC 75 and theV necessity of obscuring the animals l strong Woven textile material with the plastic compound overlaid. This may readily be stitched to the cheek-strap without danger of destroying or injuring the same by the process of stitching on account of the textile re-enforcements inserted therein, the frontal adjusting-straps in this instance being inserted through the perforation P,Which is formed in molding, or after, at the option of the maker. I further design to supply these goods to the consumers with the several parts united, as delineated in Fig. 2, ready for instant attachment to any bridle.
Having described my improved bridle- Winker and its method of construction, I desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, and I claim- 1. A bridle-Winker whose elementary parts -consist of granulated cork and rubber or other rubber compounds set to shape in a mold, having embedded therein a strengthenlng wire frame, B, provided with projecting reflexed shoulders D, and a loop, K, said compound vulcanized With sulphur or its equivalent, tojoin said frame and body to produce 25 a solid product, substantially as herein described. l
2. In a composite bridle-winker, a strengthening metal, B, provided with contiguous reentering loops G, an adjusting frontal-strap loop, K, and the redexed projecting shoulders D, thereby forming the adjusting devices by which said winker is secured at varying angles, combined with the vulcanized body A, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
LEWIS S. HOYT.
