Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed November 1:9, 1904. Serial No. 233,474
Patented June 19, 1906.
To all whom it may concern:
Zen of the United States, residing at Newark,
in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bridle-Bits; and I do hereby declare the followin to be a full, clear, and exact description the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The objects of this invention are to secure a more rigid and durable construction, to re.- duce the cost of manufacture, to prevent the horse from holding the bit in his teeth so that the driver loses control of the animal, and to obtain other advantages and results, some of which may be referred to hereinafter in con nection with the description of the working parts.
The invention consists in the improved bit for horses and in the arrangements and combinations of arts of the same, all substantially as will be hereinafter set forth and finally embraced in the clauses of the claim.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the several figures, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved bit. Fig. 2 is a section of the same, taken on line 11;; and Fig. 3 is a detail elevation of a supplemental cheek-piece adapted to be arranged in connectionwith a certain sliding mouthpiece.
In said drawings, 6 6 indicate the cheekpieces and 7 a rigid mouthpiece attached to and firmly uniting said cheek-pieces.v The cheek-pieces are each provided with a headstall ring 8 at the upper extremity, and the rigid mouthpiece 7 has its bearings 9 immediately beneath said rings. At opposite sides of said cheek-pieces 6 are semicircular extensions 10 10, forming with the body of the cheek-pieces rings for the driving-reins, the body of the cheek-pieces extending diametrically through said driving-rein rings, as indicated in Fig. 1. Within the rein-rings the diametrical extensions 11 of the bodies of the cheekieces are slotted longitudinally, and in the sl dts 12 thereof are arranged the o posite ends of the sliding mouthpiece 13 w 'ch are reduced to form fiat shanks 14,
h which slide in the slots without turning' The Be it known that I, HARRY TURTON, a citigrooves or recesses formed at the shanks 14 between the heads 15 and body of the mouthpiece 13 are sufficient to receive the cheekpieces nicely, and the sliding mouthpiece is thus prevented from moving longitudinally within the slots of the cheek-pieces, but is permitted a movement toward and from the rigid mouthpiece. At the inner sides of the said cheek-pieces the opposite ends of the said sliding mouthpiece 13 is provided each with an annular recess 16, adapted to receive a supplemental cheek-piece 17, by means of which the mouth of the animal is prevented from entering the slots 12 and being injured by the movable metallic parts.
To permit an easy application to and removal of. the supplemental cheek-pieces 17 from the mouthpiece, the same is cut or split, as at 18, and thus an opening. or passage is formed for the mouthpiece to the center hole 20. Said opening or passage is normally closed by the spring-power of the resilient material from which the mouthpiece is'made, and the closure is virtually locked by lying within the recess 16, as will be understood. To prevent the supplemental cheek-pieces from interfering with the sliding movement of the mouthpiece 13, the said cheek-pieces 17 are recessed at 19 adjacent to the fixed mouthpiece, and in the recesses the mouthpiece 7 liesand prevents said cheek-pieces om turning. The supplemental cheek pieces are preferably made of rubber or leather or similar material soft to the horse s mouth, but they may be of metal or other ed the invention, what having its opposite ends slidably arranged in said cheek-pieces, said second mouthpiece being movable toward and from the rigid mouthpiece, and having supplemental cheek- PATENT oEEmE.

ieces recessed at points contiguous to'the st said mouthpiece, substantially as set forth. ...V p
3. The improved bridle-bit herein described comprising cheek-pieces having semicircular extensions forming with the bodies of the cheek-pieces rings for the driving-reins, the bodies of the said cheek-pieces extending diametrically through said driving-rein rings and the said bodies being slotted longitudinally'at points Within said rein-rings, a rigidly-fixed mouthpiece joining said cheekpieces and a second mouthpiece, the ends of which are arranged in said slots and are free to move toward and from the rigid mouthpiece, the movable mouthpiece at the inner sides of the said cheek-pieces having supplemental cheek-pieces adapted to guard the flesh of the animals mouth from entering the said slots, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 7th day of November, 1904.
HARRY TURTON.
