COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Pneumatic Air Collar for Pony or Horse..
CHARLES SCRUTTON Saddler 74 Becket Street Liverpool England. I 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 use of the horse collar constructed according to my invention obviates the
greater part of the inconveniences in which the collars heretofore employed
gives rise.
My improved collar, posseses the following among other advantages, it does not
cause sores, or wounds, or injure the horses in any way and will be found invaluable
for pony or horse with tender shoulders :-
:-
The collar Fig. B. instead of being stuffed with straw like the ordinary collars,
it is inflated with air by the assistance of a pneumatic pad Fig. A.
This being protected by a cover of leather Fig. C. laced or stitched to the outer
sides of collar according to order.
The pneumatic pad Fig. A. can be fixed in any ordinary collar by first removing
the stuffing.
The said pad can either be inflated from top or bottom of collar through valve
Fig. D. similar to the pneumatic tyre of a cycle. Repairs can be easly affected by
first unlacing the cover and taking the pad out.
Fig. E. or outer line, shows an overlap of leather which acts as a cover for the
lacing or stitching.
In the accompanying drawings I have shown how my said invention may be
conveniently and advantageously carried into practice.
The absence of straw and other stuffing obviates bad odour due to the sweating
of the horses.
It will be understood that I may make my collars of any size and capable for
heavy or light work according to the different applications.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is;
1st. In a horse collar the inflation.
2nd. In a horse collar a pueumatic pad which can be inflated when in, or out of
collar either from top or bottom substantially as set forth.

before described and as represented in drawing.
