HORSE-COLLAR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Fatent No. 532,835, dated January 22, 1895. Application filed August 20, 1894. Serial No. 520,816. (No model).
T0 on whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY G. ST1EBEL,Jr., of St. Louis,' Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horse-O01- lars, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
My invention has relation to improvements in pneumatic horse collars and consists in the novel arrangement and combination of parts more fully set forth in the specification and pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of the collar (with parts broken away) taken Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail section showing the manner of confining the inflatable sack at the reduced end of the collar. Fig. 3 is a detail section of one end of the inflatable sack. Fig. 4 is a section on line 0ca: of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a section on line y-y of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 isa sectional detail of the wall of the inflatable sack showing the projecting flange on the same. Fig. 7 is a front view of the end of the inflatable sack after its extension has been folded back to meet the flange thereon; and Fig. 8 is a sectional view of the narrow end of a collar having a continuous inflatable sack, the collar in this case being a continuous or closed one.
The object of my invention is to construct an inflatable horse collar which will be soft and pliable, thoroughly elastic, and at the same time durable, and retain its shape under all circumstances.
To this end I have constructed a collar which in detail may be described as follows:
Referring to the drawings,the outer wale of the collar is of the ordinary construction composed as it is of an outer leather casing 1 filled with suitable padding of hair 2 or the like material. The free edges of the casing 1 are secured by stitching respectively to a leather strip 3, and a (preferably) cloth strip 4, the latter being adapted to come in contact with the body of the animal, forming as it does that wall of the inner wale which is adjacent to the neck and shoulders of the animal. Between the strips 3 and 4 and running the full length of the collar and following the contour thereof, is confined an inflatable rubber sack 5 from the outer wall of which and running the full length of the sack (with the exception of a short distance of the extensions of the sack) there projects a continuous flange 6 adapted to be inserted between the free edges of the strips 3 and 4, said flange serving as a means for securing the sack .5 to
- the said strips, the parts being united preferably by stitching. To insure the inflated wale keeping its shape, I provide an additional reinforcing strip of leather 7 between the strip 3 and the walls of the sack 5, it being understood that this is the exposed side of the wale, or that side opposite to that which is in contact with the animal.
The usual or prevailing form of horse collar tapers toward its free ends which are usually secured or fastened by a strap 8 passed through a buckle. (Not shown.) At this reduced or tapering end it becomes necessary to devise the best means of making some disposition of the closed or sealed ends or extensions of the inflated sack 5. In the manufacture of the sack 5 the free ends thereof while the rubber .is yet hot and plastic are pressed and sealed together forming an extension 9. In my invention this extension is so pressed that it is reduced in thickness along a line contiguous to the sack and gradually expands toward its outer or free edge (as best seen in Fig. 3). The extension 9 is then folded back on the line of its reduced thickness, in such a way that the free-ends of the flange 6 and thefoldedextensionbecomecontinuous. (See Figs. 1, 2, and 7.) By this construction too, additional elasticity is afforded by reason of the presence of the rubber, and hence comfort will come to the animal on which the collar is placed. At the medium diametrically reduced portion of the inner wale is inserted a valve 10 for attaching to an air pump for purposes of inflating the sack. To hold the Valve rigid the rubber wall of the wale is increased in thickness at this point (as seen in Fig. 4), the valve being glued or cemented within the opening. A cap 11 is screwed on the end of the valve after the sack is once inflated. I Not to interfere with the hames the valve 10 is directed from the outer wale as shown. in the drawings.
The flange 6 by which the inflatable sack 5 forming the innerwale is secured to the strips .3 and 4 is important, preventing as it does too any displacement or shifting of the sack from its original position, such shifting being inevitable from the promiscuous and hard usage to which a collar is subjected, especially with draft horses. With the latter the strain is a maximum of course, and in such cases I provide the inflatable sack with a series of integral lugs 12 so disposed along the outer wall thereof that the same can be sewed onto the free edges of the strip 1 of the outer Wale as best seen in Figs. 1 and 5. It may be remarked in passing that instead of the continuous flange 6 I may substitute a series of lugs similar to the lugs 12.
In Fig. 8 I have shown a modification wherein the collar and sack are made in a continuous form, the collar beingof course a closed one.
Having described my invention, what I claim is-- 1. In ahorse collar, an outer Wale, a suit-1 able inflatable sack tapering toward and; closed at its ends forming apart ofthe in'n'er wale, extensions forminga continuation of its closed ends, said extensions being folded back against the outer walls of the inflatedportion 1 and between said walls and the walls'of the} outer wale whereby a'cushion is formedat the sealed ends, and means for securing the inflatable sack to the outer wale,*substantia'lly as set forth.
2. Acollar comprising an outer Wale, suitable strips extending therefromand forming the outer walls of the inner Wale, an inflatsuitable strips extendin g therefrom and forming the walls of the inner Wale, an inflatable sack having a continuous flange confined within the strips, the free edges of the strips and the flange of the sack beingsecure'd toge'ther,a rei'nforcingstrip interposed between the "exposed wall of the innerwale and the 'outerwall of 'the'sack, means for securingadditionally'thesac'k along a line adjacent to the outer Wale, tapering sealed extensions at the free endsof thesack,saidextensionsbeing foldedback along their line of juncture with the sack and flush with the surface of the flange,substantially "as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
