JOHN WV. ROCKWELL, OF RIDGEDIELD, CONNECTICUT.
IMPROVEMENT IN CU RRY-COMBS.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known thatI, JOHN W. RooKwELL, of Ridgefield,in the county ofFairfield and State Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Curry-Combs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings,
forming a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.
This invention consists in acurry-comb having its metallic bars or teeth attached to a flexible back, made of leather or other suitable flexible material, in such a manner that a light and durable comb is produced, which stout piece of leather or other flexible material, and to this back the handle C is attached by rivets c, or in any other desirable manner. This handle may be made of a simple strip of leather or of any other suitable material.
In using the comb the flexible back allows the teeth to follow the sinuosities of the anifmals body, and the combing operation can be accomplished more perfectly and in less time than with an ordinary curry-comb. Furthermore, my combs are very light, cheap, and of superior durability. They are compact, as the handle is dispensed with, and their flexibility will allow them to accommodate themselves to other items usually carried in the nose-bag of a cavalryman, and for these reasons my comb is particularly adapted for army purposes.
In order to facilitate the application ,of the metal bars to the back, I make said bars of sheet metal and trough-shaped, and extend the ends d of themiddle portion of the trough beyond its sides sufficiently far to allow of bending them over the edges of the stock or back B, as clearly shown in the drawings. If the back is made of some rigid material-such as wood-the ends d, when properly turned over, will retain the bars perfectly secure without requiring any rivets, and the danger of splitting the stock by rivets is avoided. 1f the back is made of leather, it requires some rivets to hold the metal bars firmly in place, but there is no danger of splitting.
What I claim as new, and desire to secme by Letters Patent, is d A curry-comb having a series of metal bars, A, applied to a flexible back, B, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
J. W. ROCKWELL.
