BRIDLE-STRANGLER.

' Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 22. 1907.

Application filed October 2. 1905. Serial No. 281.097.

To all whom itmcty concern:

Be it known that I, FERDINAND BEYLE, a

Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bridle-Stranglers;

and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as .will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to harness attachments.

One object of the invention is to provide an attachment for engagement with the throat of a horse, so as to check him in the event that he attempts to run away.

Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a harness attachment for application to a head-gear and so arranged therewith as to permit of a choking of the horse in the event that he should become unmanageable.

A still further object of the invention resides in the-provision of an exceedingly simple, inexpensive, durable, and eflicient device of the character stated.

With these and other objects in view the present mvention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accomp anying drawings, and p articularly pointed out in the appended claim, it being understood that changes in the form, proportion, size, and minor details may be made within the sco e of the claim without departing from t e spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In'the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a portion of a harness, illustrating my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a detail view of my improved or animal-controlling strap.

Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that a portion of a set of harness is shown and that the reference character 1 designates the headgear or bridle of the harness, provided with a hook 2 at its upper end, with which is engaged a ring 3. If desired, a leather strap may be substituted for the hook 2. This change seems so obvious that illustration is deemed unnecessary. At any rate the ring 3 is secured to the hook or other connection 2, and through this ring 3 is passed a strap 4, whose end beneath the ring 3 is secured to the hook or other connection .2, and the ring 3 is in the form of a loop 5, designed for engagement about the neck of the horse. (Not shown.) This strap 4 is provided with a ring 6 intermediate its ends for engagement with the checkrein-hook 7 of the harness. Which is secured to the back-band, and the ring 6 is normally in engagement with the said hook 7, in which position the strap 5 does not have a tendency to bind against the throat of the animal. However, if the animal should become unmanageable and attempt to run away, a pull upon the mner end of the strap 4, which is that portion designated by the reference character 8 lying in the rear of the checkrein-hook 7, will disengage the ring 6 of the strap 4 from the checkrein-hook 7 and permit oi the strap 4 being pulled through the ring 3 ofthe bridle and positively strangle the animal by reason of the engagement of the loop 5 of the strap 4 With the neck of the animal.

What is claimed is The combination, with a harness including a bridle portion and a back-band, of a hook secured to the upper end of the bridle, and a hook secured to the back-band; a ring detachably engaged with said bridle-hook; and a rearwardly-extending strap secured at one end to said ring and passed therethrough to form a loop for encircling the throat of the animal, said strap being provided intermediate its ends with a ring normally in engagement with said back-band hook, said lastmentioned ring being adapted to be disengaged from sald back-band hook upon a backward pull upon said strap, to bind the loo against the throat of the animal.

IE1 testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FERDINAND BEYLE.
