Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented April 2, 1907.
Application filed December 27, 1905. Renewed November 16 1906. Serial No. 343,631.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN W. TURNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Terre Haute, in the county of Vigo and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bridle-Bits 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 bridle-bits for horses and other animals; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the bit. Fig. 2 is a front view of the bit. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the bit, showing the parts of the mouth-bar free to turn on their pivot.
The mouth-bar is formed of two portions A and B, which have rectangular overlapping end portions a and 5. These end portions are connected together by a pivot-pin C, and they are offset, each end portion being one-half the thickness of the main portion of the bar. The main portions of the bar have rings D at their outer ends or other similar attachments for the reins to engage with.
E are two locking-pieces which are slidable upon the end portions a and b. Each lockingpiece consists of a short tube orv a ring, and the tube operates as a spring whenit has an opening on one side. Solid tubes or rings may, however, be used, if desired.
When the locking pieces or clips are slid to the positions shown in Fig. l, the parts of the mouth-bar are held in alinement with each other, and the bit is used in the ordinary manner. When the locking pieces or clips are slid back, as shown in Fig. 3, the parts of the mouth-bar can turn on their pivots, and a bit suitable for a vicious horse is provided.
WVhat I claim is- 1. The combination, with the mouth-bar of a bit formed of two parts provided with pivoted overlapping end portions, of a clip slidable on the said end portions and normally holding the parts of the said mouthbar in alinement.
2. The combination, with the mouth-bar of a bit formed of two parts provided with offset and overlapping end portions, of a pivot connecting the said end portions, and a clip slidable on the said end portions and normally holding the parts of the said mouthbar in alinement.
3. The combination, with the mouth-bar of a bit formed of two parts provided with pivoted overlapping end portions, of a tubular spring-clip slidable on the said end portions and normally holding the parts of the said mouth-bar in alinement.
4. The combination, with the mouth-bar of a bit formed of two parts provided with overlapping end portions, of two clips arranged one on each side of the pivot of the said parts of the mouth-bar and slidable in opposite directions upon their said end portions and normally holding the parts of the said mouth-bar in alinement.
In testimony whereof I have affiXed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
JOHN W. TURNER.
