CHECKRElN-GUIDE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 663,125, dated December 1900- Application filed Tuna 2,1900. Serial No. 18,798. (No model.)
tached to or detached from a bridle or other part of a harness, the guide being so mounted that it can freely turn as the horse turns his head, thereby preventing the rein from chafing or wearing against the loop or loops constituting a part. of the guide.
One of the features of the invention consists in the combination, with a bridle, of a guide connected to one of its straps for turning movement,said guide having means to receive and retain a checkrein, and in the present instance such guide consists, preferably, of a plurality of open loops through which the straps of the checkrein can be readily passed without the necessity of threading the same therethrough, the latter being the usual custom.
In the drawings the checkrein-guide is rep resented as comprisinga body having checkrein loops and provided intermediate said loops with a transverse shank adapted to be suitably connected with a bridle. A convenient manner is by forming a pivot-opening in said shank to receive the tongue of the buckle to which the winker-stay is connected.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bridle of ordinary kind, showing my checkrein guide in connection therewith.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of a portion of the bridle and the guide, both on an enlarged scale; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view, also on an enlarged scale, of the guide detached.
I have designated the bridle shown in part in Figs. 1 and 2 by A, it having the usual crown-piece 5, provided upon its upper side with a winker-stay buckle, as 6, extending forward therefrom to receive the winker stay or strap 7.
The loops ordinarily employed to receive checkreins have no side motion, so that when The checkrein-guide (see Fig. 3) is denoted in a general way by B, and it comprises a body having loops at its ends shown as resilient tongues 9 and 10, said loops being opposite one another, and a shank or stem 12, extending forward from the latter. Said tongues with the adjacent portion of the body form open loops to receive the straps of the checkrein. Said shank or stem is in the present instance connected with the winkerstay buckle 6, and its forward end is curved downward and has an opening 14c to receive the tongue 15 of the buckle 6, as indicated in Fig. 2. Just back of the buckle 6 the usual loop 16 is arranged, its purpose being to receive the free end of the stay or strap 7 after the tongue is passed through one of the holes of the same. This loop 16 is also adapted to receive the shank 12 when the checkrein-guide B is being applied. To connect said checkrein-guide with the bridle, the forward end of the shank 12 is passed forward through the loop 16 until the opening 14E is in position to receive the tongue 15, and the latter being slightly elevated to bring it into line with the. opening the guide B will be drawn back until the curved portion 13 thereof strikes against the short strap 17, connecting the buckle 6 with the crown-piece A. After this is done the winker-stay is connected with its buckle. The tongue 15 serves as an effective pivot for the guide B and allows the same to readily turn back and forth. The tongues 9 and 10 are integral with the guide, the part B being conveniently formed in one piece and being cheaply produced by stamping from sheet metal. The tongues 9 and 10 are resilient, so that the free portions thereof can be raised to freely insert and remove. the branches or straps of the checkrein to save time in hitching up a horse, as ordinarily this is done by threading the branches of the checkrein through their guide-loops. The free ends of said loops with a transverse shank, the forward end of said shank being curved downward, and said curved end having an opening to receive the tongue of a buckle or other pivot.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
JOHN B. LEIGHTON.
