D PETRIE GAG MARTINGALE.
UNITE STATES PATENT OFFICE.
DAVID PETRIE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
GAG-MARTINGALE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 499,578, dated June 13, 1893.
Application filed February 15, 1893- Serial No. 462.4 g. (N0 model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, DAVID PETRIE, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gag-Martingales, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.
My invention consists of a gag martingale which tightens on the animals head, more especially in the case of hard pulling, shying, or rearing, should the latter be thrown up, as will be hereinafter set forth.
Figure 1 represents aperspective view of a gag martingale or nose band embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a top or plan View of a portion thereof. Fig. 3 representsa perspective view on a reduced scale.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings: A designates a strap which is adapted to be connected with the belly band or girth B, said strap extending forward under the body, then in front of the neck where it is forked as at O, D. The strap 0 passes freely through the ring E, and is then turned, forming the front loop F, and has its end connected with the ring G. The strap D also passes freely through the ring E, and is then turned, forming the front loop H, and has its end connected with the ring J. The rings G and J are sustained by the straps K, K, which depend from and are connected with a head stall in any suitable manner.
L designates straps which extend from the ringsiJ to the rings E, and are connected with the same, they being in reality, continuations of the side ends of said loops.
It will be seen that when the device is in position, the mouth portion of the animals head is within the loops F, H, the straps L, the ring E, and portions 0', D, of the straps G, D, in front of said ring E. It will also be seen that ring E is adapted to slip on said portions 0', D, of the straps C, D, passing through the same. Consequently if forward pressure is exerted on the loops H, F, by the head of the animal, due to the latter throwing up its head, as the strap A is held by the band B, said loops H and F are quickly reduced in size, and the ring moves toward the under side of the mouth of the animal, it being evident that said loops F and H, and the ring E are pressed and tightened around the mouth of the animal as a clamp or gag, thus controlling the animal and checking the throw-up of the head, especially whenthe animal pulls hard, shies or rears.
The device will also be found serviceable for leading young colts, making them tractable, breaking them in, &c.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A gag martingale formed of a strap having one of its ends forked, each of said forks forming loops, rings connected to said forked ends, a ring movable on both of said forked ends and connected by straps with said firstmentioned rings, and other straps connected with said first mentioned rings and adapted to be connected with a head stall, said parts being combined substantially as described.
2. The loops F and H, and the straps O and D, connected respectively therewith, in combination with a ring E through which said straps O and D freely pass, and the straps L continuous of said loops and connected with said ring, substantially as described.
3. A gag martingale formed of the strapA adapted to be connected with agirth, and having the forked ends 0, D, forming loops, the rings G and J, to which said ends are respectively connected, the ring E movable on said ends 0, D, and connected by the straps L, L, with the rings G and J, and the straps K connected to said rings G and J and adapted to be connected with a head stall, said parts being combined substantially as described.
DAVID PETRIE.
