u Letters Patent No. 72,729, dated December 31, 1867.
IMPROVED ATTACHMENT FOR SFETY-BRIDLES.
T0. ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:A I
Be it known that I, REUBEN FINK, of Lancaster, in the county of Lancaster, and State o Fennsylvania, have invented a new and improved .Attachment for Safety-Bridles; and I do hereby declare that'the following is a full and exact description ofthe construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, makingal partl of this specication', in which- I Figure l shows the combination. of the parts. v
Figure 2 the same, holding the ring on the bit of the bridle, in the curyed portion B.
Figure 4, an enlarged View of its operation, as shown in its applicationkon the horse,'in gure 3.v
The nature of my invention consists in providing a check-lever, in combination with a shifting bearing hinged to it, to guard against the undue action of the bit on safety-bridles, in ordinary driving,'or for guiding the horse.
Tc enable others to make and use my invention, I will describe its construction, as follows:
The lever A has an eye, a, on iE lower end, to which the rein or line is attached. Centrally, there is connected to it, by a rivet, Z1, a curved ringsupporter, B, having lfree motion on thc pivote. 7 This curved bearing, B, has an eye, C, in itsloosc end, somewhatturned up,'by which a. strap, D, connects it with'the headstall of the bridle, said strap being rst slippedthrugh the ringE of the bit F, as shown by g. 2, where the ring E vof the bit rests upon the curved bearing of the hinged piece B, and is retained in its place by the lever A, the upper end' of which rests also against the 'upper portion or" thecu'rved bearing, so that the ring of the hit will not be acted lupon by 'a moderate pull on the lines or reins for guiding the horse, and, under ordinary circumstances, greatly to the relief of thehorse, as well ns to that of the driver. But when it becomes necessary to bring its action to bear by a stronger pull on the lines, it`will draw the lower end cf the lever A in the direction of the force applied, and cause the bit in the Ahorsefs mouth to slip up out of the bearings B, for the rings E of the bit, the straps D being connected with vthe head-stall on both sides, and there being no yielding point but that of the horses mouth, it necessarily acts on the same principle as numerous other devices employed to embody this principle; among others, such as Patent No. 56,213, where the driving-rein is connected directly with a shifting bearing, without the intervention of a counter-check or lever, and its action too sudden, and when not wanted in theordinarymode of driving. l i A I therefire do not claim an independent shift-ing bearing, terminated by a ring for connecting the lines thereto, for such, I know, is patented. "But my additional check-lever,to which the lines are connected, and not to the bearing, has several advantages, besides supporting the bit in the horses mouth when the lines are detached, which is not the case in the arrangement and operation ofthe simple bearing, as also the relief to the horse, under ordinary circumstances, makes 'a substantial difference in the arrangement and operation of this dcviceto that referred to.
What I'clalim as' my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Pntenthisd The lever A, with its eye, a, and central pivot, b, on which is hinged a curved bearing, B, all combined and arranged in the manner and for the purpose specified and shown.
REUBEN FINK.
