`Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar, 18, 1919i Application filed October 19, 191'?.y Serial No. 197,489.
T 0 all 'whom t may concern! Be it known that I, EDWARD R. TWITCHELL, a citizen of the United States, residing .at Fargo, in the county of Cass andState of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nose-Guards;
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 new and useful improvements in nose guards, and more particularly to Ventilating means therefor, the main object of the invention being to provide a nose guard of this character which will eectively guard the-nose of the horse or other animal, and is particularly adapted for use in those parts of the country inhabited by flies that are very annoying to the horse and very partial to the horses nose.
A further object of the invention is to provide a nose guard having Ventilating VVmeans which will admit a sufficient supply of air and yet prevent the entrance of flies or other insects.
A further object of the invention is to provide a nose guard having a ventilator opening adapted to be arranged in juxtaposition to the liorses nostrils and which is provided with danglers that normally hang down over the ventilator opening to serve as a means to prevent the entrance of flies or other insects.
With these and other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention comprises the various novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be fully described hereinafter and' afterward specifically claimed.
Referring to drawings:
Figure l represents a perspective view of my improved construction of nose guard operatively attached in position,
Fig. 2 represents a plan view of modified form of the nose guard,
Fig. 3 represents an enlarged detail elevation of a modified form of the ventilator opening,
Fig. 4 represents a vertical sectional view taken on a plane indicated by the line 4.-4 on Fig. 3.
In order that the construction and operation of the invention may be readily comprehended, I have illustrated an approved embodiment Vthereof in the accompanying drawings, and will now proceed to fully descrlbe the same, in connection with said drawings, in which 1 indicates a cup shaped nose guard which is constructed in this instance of suitable wire fabric, the upper circumferential edge thereof being bound by a suitable binding 2. Supporting rings 3 are attached to the nose guard at diametrically.
opposite points and serve as a means by which the guard may be attached and supported over the nose of the horse or other animal.
The nose guard is provided with a ventilator opening 4 which in this instance is semi-circular, and has the edges thereof bound by a suitable binding 5. Flexible strips 6 embrace the material at each end of the semi-circular opening and have their terminal ends secured together through the wire fabric by suitable fastening means as indicated by the numeral 7.
Danglers 8, which in this instance consist of pieces of chain, have their upper ends rigidly attached to the upper edge of the opening 4 and normally hang down over the opening.
As shown the opening 4 in the nose guard is arranged in juxtaposition to the nostrils of the .animal to permit of free breathing, the danglers serving to effectively prevent the admittance of flies or other insects which are partial to the animals nose and very annoying.
In Fig. 2 will be seen a slightly different form of the nose ard in which a strap 9 is positioned centra ly across the opening 4a and has its terminal ends secured to the opposite edges thereof. This strap 9 will serve to prevent the enlargement and distortion of the opening.
If desirable, danglers 8b may be suspended across the opening 4a, as clearly shown in Fig. 3. These danglers are each secured at their upper ends by rivets or other suitable fastening means 10 which extend through the binding 5 and the wire fabric.
From the foregoing construction of nose guard, it will be apparent that the ventilating means will admit of an adequate supply of fresh air and yet will not become clogged or obstructed by dirt or other foreign matter, as ordinarily the wire fabric does.
What I claim as new, is
1. A nose guard having a closed body formed of continuous wire fabric and prof vided in its side with a breather opening disposed to expose the nostrils of the animal'` When the guard is in applied position, and
danglers attached at one end to said guard each having a free end depending over said breather opening.- I K 2. A nose guard constructed oi Wirefabrio i and provided With an opening, a'bin'ding for l the edges of said opening, reinforcing means for said opening, and danglers each having Copies oifl'this patent may be obtained for i tvvo subscribing Witnesses.
