BBIDLE BIT.
No. 422,900. Patented Mar. 11, 1890.

JOHN HUDSON ALLEN, OF GOLDTHWAITE, TEXAS.
BRI DLE BIT;
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 422,900, dated March 11, 1890.
Application filed December 13, 1889. Serial No. 333,633- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
of bits known as curbs, and the object sought to be gained is a bit that will not be severe on a gentle animal, and yet will be sufficient to check the wildest and most vicious; and it consists in the combination of the several devices hereinafter shown and described, and clearly pointed out in the claims.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention,I will now describe its construction and indicate the manner in which I carry it out.
In the drawings, A represents the mouth-bar of a bridle-bit having rigidly attached thereto, near each end, the curb-plates B B. These curb-plates are curved backward at their upper ends, and are provided with the slots 1) b for the reception of a curb-strap. The lower ends of the curb-plates are bent outwardly, and provided with the transverse slots 0 O for the reception of the cheek-pieces D D, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. are loosely secured to the outer ends of the mouth-bar and outside of the curb-plates, in order that the cheek-pieces in their movements may not chafe the corners of the animals mouth, and their being loose on the mouth-bar renders the bit much less liable to be broken. On the upper ends of the cheek pieces I form the usual rings at d for the re- These cheek-pieces ception of the head-stall, and similar rings (1' d on the lower end for the reception of the reins of the bridle.
It is evident from this description of my invention that in all ordinary riding, while the reins swing loose, the cheek-pieces are playing within the slots 0 C and causing no pain to the animal, as does the ordinary curb-bit, as the bit must lie smoothly on the animals tongue; but when the reins are drawn and the curb is tightened it becomes a bit of the lower ends passing through and guided in the slotted ends of the curb-plates, substantially as herein described.
2. An improved bridle-bit consisting of curb-plates provided with the mouth-bar and having the upper ends provided with slots 1), and the lower ends formed with longitudinal slots, and the cheek-plates loosely fitted to the outer ends of the mouth-bar and having their opposite ends formed with openings for the attachment of the head-stall and reins, substantially as described.
JOHN HUDSON ALLEN.
