Nrrnn sans r CHARLES S. ROGERS,
OF HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS, ASSIGNOR TO ALBERT O. DEAVER AND i HAMP WILLIAMS, BOTH OF HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS.
EYE-SCREEN FOR HORSES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 3, 1908.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES S. Roenes, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Hot Springs, Garland county, Arkansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eye-Screens for Horses, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
My invention relates to an eye-screen for horses, and consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in'the claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a perspective view of the screen as applied for use; Fig. 2 is a view of the complete apparatus when not in use; Fig. 3 is an elevation of one of the eye-screens; Fig. L is a vertical section taken through the center of one of the eye-screens.
Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings1-l indicates the eye-screen, which may be constructed of diierent materials, such as common wire screening, brass, copper, or cloth net, and various other materials of various sized mesh. The screening l is mounted on a wire frame, and said frame is composed of a marginal wire 2, which is shaped so as to coliform with the contour of the animals head surrounding the eye, and is provided with an arched portion 3, which, when the device is in use, occupies a position above the animals eye.
Secured to the marginal wire 2 are crosswires 4L, the ends of which are connected to the marginal wire 2 in any suitable manner, and the intermediate portions of the wires 4 are connected to one another in any other suitable manner. The wires l are so bent as to form an arch-shaped frame for the screening; and, when the device is applied to the animal, said frame is located a suicient distance from the eye so as not to affect the vision or the movement of the eye-lids. The wire screening l is located on top of said arch-shaped frame, composed of the wires 4f, and is secured thereto by outside wires ta, which lie immediately over the wires 4L and being secured thereto in any suitable manner.
Located on the marginal wire 2 is a band of tape 5, which surrounds the wire 2 and the lower edge of the netting l, and which tape is secured to the netting or the wire, or both, by any suitable means. Located on the inside of the band 5 is a piece of flexible material 5a, adapted to fit snugly around the animals eye, so as to prevent iies, mosquitos, and other insects, from crawling in between the animals head and the screen and having access to the eye. In place of this tape, leather, metal, or any other material suitable for this purpose may be used.
The screens are of like construction, one for each eye, and are secured together by an adjustable strap 6, which, when the screen is in use, passes across the forehead of the animal. The ends of the strap 6 are secured to the lower portions of the screens. The top portions of the screens are held in proper relative positions by means of straps 7, which, when the screens are in use, lie across one another on the forehead of the animal.
9 indicates an adjustable strap which is adapted to pass around the animals neck, and to which the upper ends of the straps 7 are secured.
I() indicates a brow-band, the ends of which are secured to the strap 9, the straps 7 being located beneath the brow-band l0 when the screen. is in use.
Il indicates buckles fixed to the strap 9,
and to which are attached the upper ends of straps I2, iXed at their lower ends to the eye-screen frames.
Secured to the eye-screens are straps I3, and secured to said straps 13 are pieces of elastic 14, andto said pieces of elastic 14 are secured straps 15, one of which is provided with a buckle 1G.
When the ends of the straps l5 are buckled together, the elastic pieces 14 permit the free movement of the animals jaws, preventing any chang and relieving any unnecessary strain.
The screens are of peculiar shape, the marginal wires 2 being provided with the' arched portions 3; said arched portions, when the screens are in use, lying above and fitting over that portion of the animals head immediately above the eyes. It will be seen from the drawings that the arched portion projects almost'at right angles to the marginal wire, so as to present, in plan view, practically a straight line.
The device is adjustable by means of the IOO various straps so as to lit any sized head;
l' and, when applied, thoroughly protects the eyes of the animal from insects, dust, and the like. *Y
Then-it is desired to apply the screen to the animals head, the adjustable strap 9 is buckled around the throat of the animal, the brow-band 10 .passing across the forehead, and by means of the adjustable straps 7, 12, 6, and l5, the screens are properly positioned over the eyes of the animal.
As heretofore stated, the screens may be made of any suitable material, likewise the framework of the screens and the marginal edge of the same may be bound with any suitable material, preferably a soft or yielding binding, so as to produce a snug t. rlhe screen as hereinbefore described is cheap in construction and adjustable to lit various sized heads, is easily applied and removed, and makes an effective protection for the eyes of the animal; and may be used with a bridled or unbridled animal.
l. The herein described eye-screen for animals, comprising a pair of frames, the edges of which are arched at the top, screen sections located on said frames, adjustable straps for maintaining the frames in position on an animals head, and an adjustable strap uniting' the frames. Y Y
2. The herein described eye-screen for animals, comprising a pair of frames, said frames consisting of a marginal wire provided with an arched portion, arch-shaped cross wires secured to said marginal wire, screening iiXed on said arch-shaped cross wires and marginal wires, binding straps-secured to said marginal wires, and adjustable means for securing said frames to the animals head.
3. The herein described eye-screen for animals, comprising skeleton frame works adapted to fit that portion of the animals head surrounding the eyes, screening mounted on said frame works, an'adjustable strap for securing .said frame works together,
the neck of the animal, to which said adjustable straps may be secured.
4L. The herein described eye-screen for animals, comprising a skeleton frame, a marginal wire provided with an arch-shapedv portion, wire screening secured to said skeleton frame and marginal Wire, and an adjustable strap for supporting said frame in the proper position on the animals head.
5. ,The herein described eye-screen for animals, comprising frames constructed to lit around and over the animals eyes, the tops of which frames are archedg'sections of wire screen itted onto said frames, a section of flexible material secured to the edges of the frames; and means whereby the frames are held in proper position on the animals head while in use.
6. An eye-protector for animals, constructed of sections of reticulated material adapted to lit over and around the eyes of the animals, the tops of which sections are arched; and means wherebysaid sections of reticulated material are held in position on the animals head while in use.
7. An eye-protector for animals, comprising a pair of sections of reticulated material adapted to fit over and around the eyes of the animals, the tops of which sections are arched; means whereby said sections of reticula'ted material are held in position onV the ing
animals head while in use, and a bindof iiexible material iXed to and extending entirely around the marginal edges of the sections. y
ln testimony whereof, l have signedmy name to this specification, in presence of two subscribing witnesses. l
