FLY-N ET FOR HORSES.

$.PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 651,549, dated June 12, 1900.

Application filed November 13,1899. Serial No. 736,739. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEoRe B. KLING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, in the countyof Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fly-Nets for Horses, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in fly-nets for horses; and it pertains more especially to the peculiar construction of the longitudinal webs in connection with the transverse cords of the net, and the same is explained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which-'- Figure 1 represents a plan view of one end of the net, showing the relative arrangement of the longitudinal webs and the transverse cords to each other, Fig. 2 is a detail representing an enlarged view of a portion of the net, showing the manner of intervening the longitudinal cords of the webs with the transverse cords, which, together with the webs, form the body of the net.

Like parts are referred to by the same reference-letters in both views.

The net is provided with several (preferably five) longitudinal webs, one central web A, and four side webs B. These webs extend lengthwise of the net and are braided or otherwise secured together, forming end pieces 0, which fit across the breast and hips of a horse.

D D represent a series of transverse cords, which, together with the webs A and B, form the meshes of the net. The webs A and B are each composed of a series of separate cords E. The cords E'are bound together by the transverse cords D, the cords E serving as the warp and the transverse cords D serving as the woof of the several webs.

In constructing the net the cords D are interwoven three times across the longitudinal cords E of the central web A, as shown, in a circular course, passing above and beneath each alternate longitudinal cord of such web, when the respective ends of the cords are then led in opposite directions transversely toward the right and left to the next succeeding side webs B, when they are in like manner respectively interwoven above and beneath each alternate cord of the web B in an S-shaped course three times across such web, when they extend downwardly toward the right and left in the usual manner, as shown in Fig. 1. It will be obvious that by thus interweaving the cords of the respective Webs with the transverse cords such transverse cords will be drawn firmly toward each other by the downward strain upon the respective ends of the transverse cords, while said longitudinal webs will also be prevented from sliding in either direction upon said transverse cords.

While by the construction shown the net is provided with five longitudinal webs, one

central and four side Webs, and each web is composed of six longitudinal cords, the number of cords contained in said webs and the number of webs used in each net may be increased or diminished without departing from the spirit of my invention.

I am aware that it has heretofore been common to form the longitudinal'webs of a flynet of tape or other woven fabric and to join such woven webs with transverse cords, which cords and Woven webs together form the meshes of the net, and I therefore do not claim such form of construction as my invention, but limitthe same to the construction in which the longitudinal webs are formed of cord simply and not of a tape or previouslywoven fabric; and I would call attention to the fact that in my device the longitudinal cords are held together solely by the same transverse cords which form the woof of the webs and which also cooperate with the longitudinal webs to form the meshes of the net.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a fly-net for horses, the combination of series of cords forming the only warp of the longitudinal webs of the net; with the transverse cords forming the only Woof of the Webs of the net; said transverse cords being interwoven three times across the respective webs, at the junction of the several points of contact, while they connect said several webs together, and together form the meshes of the net, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. In a fly-net for horses, the combination of aeentral longitudinal Web and one or more webs of the net, substantially as and for the Id side webs; with a series of transverse cords purpose specified.

extending across all of said webs and together In testimony whereof I affix my signature forming the meshes 0f the net, While they are in the presence of two witnesses.
