hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows;-
By the aid of a strap, straps, cord, chain, or other suitable attachments, (or
making use of the bearing rein) fastened to the nose bag and passing over or
through the bridle & collar by means of hooks, loops, or other suitable means &
finally attached to the saddle or other portion of harness, I provide a means
whereby the animal obtains a more efficient control over the contents of the bag

I, BENJAMIN HIBBERT, Artist, 260, North End Road, late 10, Delaford Street,
Fulham, S.W., 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; -
To an ordinary nose-bag I attach a strap, straps, cord, chain or other suitable
attachments, (or by making use of the bearing-rein) similar to the ordinary form
of attachment a a, Fig. 1, but long enough to reach from the bag, when it is
at the animals nose, to the collar, saddle, or other available point on the harness,
to which it is attached on the saddle pin hook, or other suitable fastening bb,
Fig. 1.
The
The straps or other chosen materials are suspended and run freely on modified
forms of hooks or open pulley blocks, c C Figs. 1, 2, 3, fixed at each end of the
brow-band, d Fig. 1, or other portion of bridle, by means of rivets or other suitable
methods. These hooks or the like can be made brass or any suitable metal.
bag hangs down from these hooks or the like and as the animal lowers its head
the aforesaid hooks or the like slide down the suspended straps or the like, and
consequently, the nose approaches the bottom of the bag. Just above the point
of suspension, C Fig. 1, is a short strap or other chosen material e Fig. 1 regulated
by a buckle or the like, connecting the longer ones like the short bar of a letter A

page_text: this short piece rests on the animals head, and prevents it getting too far from
the bag, when raising the head again after feeding, and also supports the bag
whilst attaching it. The fixing of this attachment to the bag, can be effected
by means of buckles, dee rings, stitching or other suitable methods, f Fig. 1.
The longer straps or other chosen material are adjusted by means of a buckle or
the like, and are narrower or rounded at that portion passing through the hooks
or open pully blocks e C Figs. 1 2 3 so as to allow the said hooks or the like to
be as small as possible.
By this attachment, I provide a means whereby the animal can reach the
whole contents of the bag easily, without readjustment, and also prevent the
waste caused by the present system of the horse throwing up the bag to get at
the contents.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
:-
A means of attaching a a nose bag to a part of the harness of horses or other
animals, characterized by, straps, or the like long enough to reach from the
bag when at the animals nose, to the collar, saddle or other available point of
attachment, by a short strap or other chosen material connecting the longer ones,
like the short bar in a letter A, by two hooks or open pulley blocks or the like,
fixed at each end of the brow-band or other portion of bridle, by the attachment
being suspended in the said hooks or the like, in which it works freely as the
head is raised or lowered, as described hereinbefore, and illustrated in the accom-
panying drawings for the purpose specified.
