Description
lnitxl titane www* WILBUR F. CLARK, OF HAGAMANS MILLS, NEW YORK. Leners Patent No. 84,170, lated ivvember 17, 1868.
MROVED BRIDLE.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent-and making part of the same.
To all whom' it 'may concern:
Be it known that I, WILBUR F. CLARK, of Hagamans Mills, in the county of Montgomery, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements inBridle-Bits; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the ait to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my invention, when on a horse.
Figure 2 is adetail view,`showing the construction of the bit.
Figure 3 is au enlarged detail view of the bit and its accessory gear, when applied as in iig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The object of -this invention is to provide a simple bit and bridle for horses, which combines several advantageous features, each of which is herein duly set orth. i
The bit consists of a straight round bar, A, fitted loosely inthe side plates B, to which the headstall is attached, in the usual manner.
The bar A is provided with pulleys a, having broad anges b, to keep the rein C on the pulleys.
The rein G is connected witl1.a gag-runner, D, passA ing fromside to side over the horses head, as shown.
E are martingales, and arejoined to the gag-runner and rein at the same point, which may be provided with an ornamental button or plate, G, at the point of junction on each side.
dare curved projections from the plates B, and serve to keep the rein from getting o from the pulleys, 'and also to check up the auimals head, in a manner to be hereinafter described.
When the gag-runner is taken vup short, so that the junction G will not be brought into contact with the bit, the bit will `revolve when the reins vare drawn by .the action of the pulleys, as will be obvious. This revolving action is advantageous, as it will twist the bit from between his teeth, in case he should seize it and attempt to run. The sensation produced by the revolving bit will also cause his attention to be drawn from his own vicious desires or from any fright he may experience.
lVhen the gag-runner is let out, however, sorthatthe junction G aforesaid will come down to the bit, the latter will not revolve, but will then act as an ordinary bit.
The arrangement of the gag-runner, rein, and Inar tingales in the manner ishown, causes them to act as a curb upon the animal, and gives a purchase upon the bit, as will `be obvious. i
The curved projections d, before alluded to, serve to act as a check, in the following manner:
Then the reins are slacked suddenly, after drawing up the animals head, the reins, falling down in a bight,
= in iig. 3, the slacked rein being shown in blue color.
By slacking the reins in the usual manneigxthey rein will not be needed, and thehorse may drink withoutrthe driver getting from his seat.
When the reins are drawn in with ordinary tension, the combined action of the gag-runner, reins, andmar'- tingales causesl the animal to hold his head up, with the neck bowedin a spirited style.
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patenting inthe plates B, substantially as herein described. 2. The combination of the gag-'runner D, rein C, and martingales E, with the bit A, B B, a b, a b, substantially as herein described.
The above specification of my invention signed by me, this lst day of August, 1868.
WILBUR F. CLARK.

will jam 'against the lower corners of the parts d,,and thus hold his head up. This operation is illustrated will slide-over the pulleys when the horse puts 'down his head to drink, by which it will be seen that-a check-1v l. The revolving bit A, having pulleys a, 1.1., and work-
