HALTER.

Iv I s SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 506,475, dated October 10, 1893.

Application filed July '7. 1893. Serial No. 479,817. on model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES C. COVERT, a citi- 'zen of the United States, residing at West Troy,- in the county of Albany and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Web and Rope Halter; and I do hereby declare thefol:

lowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apper tains to make and use the same.

. This invention relates to an improvement 1n a combined. rope and web halter, and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and definitely pointed out in the claims.

The aim and purpose of this invention are the provision of an improved halter, of the nature above indicated in which the several detail perspective view of the end connection of the nose-piece.

new of the eyelet, and Fig. 4, shows an ele-' vatlon and edge View of the connecting loop v Fig. 3, is a detail between the web and rope.

In the drawings A represents the head or crown strap, formed of a web of fabric which has secured thereto the usual throat latch A, and is provided with a suitable adj usting device'A at one end.

B is the nose piece formed of rope or cordage, having a permanent loop B at one end formed by folding the end back and rigidly clamping the two adjacent parts together.

C is the eyelet consisting of an oblong eye 0 and a transverse oblong eye 0 of larger diameter than the eye 0 but arranged on the same plane or in a straight line therewith. These two eyes are united by the web 0' which connects the side of eye 0' with the end of eye 0. On the upper face of this web is a pin 0 adapted to penetrate the rope and assist in holding it in place. Inrutilizing this eyelet, the end,

manent loop, which carries the eyelet. I The opposite or tie end of the nose piece 'or rope is first passed up through the eye c over forming loop B, is first passed through the eye of and subsequently formed into the perthe pin and down through'the eye 0. The

oblong shape of the eye a prevents an abrupt turn but permits the rope, at that point,-to1 assume an inclining rather than a right angle position to the outer end, and portion passing through eye 0'. By this means it will be observed that the size of the nose loop may be quickly varied, and the binding efiect of the rope in the eyes elfectually prevents any slipping of the same or shirring up around the nose.

The use of knots and the danger of separating the eyelet from the rope are avoided as the eyelet is permanently secured on the rope. I

To overcome the objections to the use of a rope head piece, I have provided means for attaching the web, above referred to. These means consist of frames D, formed with uniform side bars d having curved ends and a central cross-bar d curved at its edges to form in connection with the side" pass the circular openings d -at opposite ends. The

central portion of the lower side bard is curved out, and the lower endof the crossbar is spread and connected to the side bars on opposite sides of the curve, thereby forming the eye d through which a bit snap may be passed. The frame thus described is inclined from its opposite'endsto the center or substantially V-shape, to prevent abrupt angles'being formed in the rope at thispoint.

- On the upper end of frame D is the oblong loop D formed of the end bars e connected to the ends of the frame and the straight position. It is understood that the loop B may be increased in size and the end carried and attached at other points when desired. Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be Secured by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a halter, a rope nose piece'consisb ing of a section of rope having a loop formed at one end and its opposite end extended out to form a tie, and an eyelet carried by the loop having two eyes therein of different size, thelooped end-of the rope passed through the larger eye and the tie end of the rope being first passed throug'hthe larger eye, and finally through the smaller eye, substantially 'asdescribed.

2. In a combined rope ancbwebhalter, the, combination with a fia-t web-head piecaof a; rope nose 'piece, and frames connecting the? rope and web at opposite sides, formed with circular openings at opposite ends, an opening therein, the end of the rope passing through one eye and theopposite end passing through both eyes, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
