PNEUMATIC SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 709,930, dated September 30, I902. Application filed October 14, 1901; Serial No. 78,586. (No model.)
. between the back of an animal and the gigsaddle or other part of the harness.
The invention has for its object to provide a pad of the character referred to which will readily adapt itself to the shape of the horses back, prevent chafing and galling, and secure ventilation of the space between the saddle and the body of theanimal.
The invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan of the pad. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, showing the position of the saddle when secured on the pad; and Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.
10 and 11 indicate the upper and lower strips of the pad-cover and may be made of leather or any other suitable non-elastic material possessing the requisite flexibility and durability.
Located between the cdver-strips 10 and 11 is an inflatable tube 12, which extends entirelyaround the margin of the cover, the latter being secured to the inner and outer sides of the tube by stitching or otherwise, so that a web 13 or tie member, as seen in Fig. 2, for connecting the side portions of the pad is provided. The tube 12 has an inflating-nipple 17 and is preferably made of a stretch of tubing instead of an endless tube, although the latter may be employed in order to facilitate its removal from the cover should that be necessary, and when in place between the cover-strips the ends of the tube overlap in the usual manner, as illustrated by dotted lines in Fig. 1. In any event it is desirable that the tube 12 extend entirely around the margin of the cover-that is to say, along the ends as Well as the sides thereof-in order that the saddle (designated 14) may besupported wholly by the tube and not rest against the back of the animal. The ends of the cover have fastened to them straps 15 16, provided with buckles, by means of which the the saddle is secured to the pad to prevent the same from slipping, and one of said straps, as 16, is preferably secured by lacing, so that one end of the cover may be readily opened to permit of the removal of the tube in case of a puncture or for other reason.
To protect the tube 12 against injury, it is provided with a covering of canvas or ticking 18, and a reinforcing-strip 19 is also secured around the inflating-nipple between the upper cover-strip 10 and the tube 12 to avoid tearing of the rubber at the juncture of the inflating-nipple with the tube. A fur- 7o ther reinforcing-strip 20 is secured to the under cover-strip ll and medially of the ends thereof in order to protect the tube along the line where the bend occurs when the pad is in position on a horse.
When the tube 12 is inflated and the saddle secured in place thereon, the side edges and the ends of the latter rest on the tube 12 and the saddle is thereby held away from the back of the horse and also out of contact with the web. By this construction and arrangement the space under the saddle being Well ventilated will be kept dry and chafing and galling of the back of the animal avoided.
I claim as my invention 7 A harness-pad comprising an upper and a lower cover-strip,a continuous inflatable tube secured between the cover-strip and extending entirely around the margin of the same and providing a seat for and conforming to the contour of the saddle used therewith, the portion of the cover strips in the space bounded by the tube being secured together Witnesses:
