1, BARNARD DEARDEN of Hood Street, Accrington in the County of Lancaster,
Rope Maker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
HALTERS FOR HORSES OR CATTLE" to be as follows:
The object of this invention is to dispense with the cost and labour of stitching or
5 working the rope for the halter.
According to this my invention, I employ a ring of metal, bone, or other like
substance to which a cross piece is cast or otherwise attached, forming a T head the
latter is received and folded within the webbing forming the halter, the folded ends of
the webbing on being stitched together as ordinary in the construction of the halter
secures the ring firmly in position.
The said ring I prefer should be of metal, it is cheaper, safer and more durable than
the old style of worked and stitched loop.

Improvements in Halters for Horses or Cattle.
I BARNARD DEARDEN of Hood Street, Accrington, in the County of Lancaster,
Rope Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The object of this invention is to dispense with the cost, and labour of stiching, or
working the hole for the rope of the halter.
According to this my invention I employ a ring of metal, bone, or other like
substance to which a cross piece is cast or otherwise attached forming a T head, the
latter is received and folded within the webbing forming the halter the folded ends of
the webbing on being stiched together as ordinary in the construction of the halter,
secures the ring firmly in position.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention the following is a complete
description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a
part of this specification in which :-
Fig. 1 is a view of the ring and T head.
Fig. 2. shews ring secured by T head being stiched in the webbing of the halter.
Fig. 3. is a like view (front) shewing the halter rope passing through the ring.
According to this my invention I employ a ring 1 of metal, bone, or other like
substance to which a cross piece 2 is cast or otherwise attached forming a T head the
latter is received, and folded within the webbing 3 forming the halter the folded ends
of the webbing on being stiched together, as at 5, as ordinary in the construction of
the halter secures the ring 1 firmly in position.
The said ring 1 I prefer should be of metal, it is cheaper, safer, and more durable
than the old style of worked and stiched loop, and does not wear by the action of the
rope 6 rubbing against the circumference.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature and object of the
said invention and in what manner the same is to be employed 1 declare that what
I claim is :-
A ring of metal bone, or other hard smooth substance having a shank or cross piece
such as 2 for securing the ring within the folds of the webbing composing the halter,
and as herein fully described and illustrated by annexed drawings.
