COMBINATION Tag and water DuCKET.
We, STANLEY REYNOLDS DOCKING and HARRY REYNOLDS DOCKING,. trading as
Stanley R. Docking & Co., of 62, Dingwall Road, Croydon, Surrey, Wholesale
Merchants and Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows;-
The object of this invention is to combine in a simple manner in one article
both a ventilated nosebag and water bucket.
According to this invention, we apply an adjustable partition to the nosebag
in such manner that it may be so arranged or shifted as to cover or form a lining
to either vertical half of the nosebag. When the said partition is arranged so
as to cover or line that half of the article which is perforated for ventilation the
device serves as a water bucket. By shifting or arranging the partition so as
to cover or line the opposite or non-perforated side of the article a ventilated
nosebag is produced.
Having thus briefly described the nature of our invention, we will now describe
a manner of applying the same to the ordinary regulation or service nosebag,
which consists of a canvas cylinder closed at one end by a flat bottom. The
partition referred to would in this case resemble in shape a section of a similar
nosebag of slightly less diameter divided vertically into halves, said section being
inserted within the nosebag and connected along the entire line of section with
the interior thereof. By a little easy manipulation the said partition may be
arranged so as to cover or line one half of the interior of the nosebag on either
side of the vertical centre line of the latter, as desired, and by this means either
a ventilated nosebag or a water bucket may be produced at will according as
the perforated or non-perforated half of the nosebag is covered or lined by the
said adjustable partition.

page_text: 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 combine in a simple manner in one article
both a ventilated nosebag and a water bucket. Our invention is chiefly intended
for application to military nosebags adapted to be folded and carried on the
saddle.
According to our invention we apply a flexible lining or partition to the nose-
bag in such manner that it may be so arranged or adjusted as to constitute a
lining to either vertical half of the nosebag. By "vertical half" is understood
the half that would be produced by dividing the nosebag vertically. When the
said lining or partition is arranged so as to line that half of the nosebag which
is perforated for ventilation' the device serves as a water bucket. By adjusting
or arranging the lining or partition so as to line the opposite or non-perforated
half of the article a ventilated nosebag is produced.
Having thus briefly described the nature of our invention we will now describe
the manner of applying the same to the ordinary regulation or service nosebag,
which consists of a canvas cylinder closed by a flat bottom. The lining or parti-
tion would in this case resemble in shape a section of a similar nosebag of slightly
less diameter divided vertically into halves, said section being inserted within
the nosebag and connected along the entire line of section with the sides and
bottom thereof. By a little easy manipulation the said lining or partition may
be arranged so as to constitute a lining to either vertical half of the nosebag às
desired, and by this means either a ventilated nosebag or a water bucket may
be produced at will according as the perforated or non-perforated half of the
nosebag is covered by the flexible lining or partition aforesaid.
In order that our invention may be fully understood we will now describe the
same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:-
Figure 1 is an elevation in perspective of a regulation or service nosebag con-
structed in accordance with our invention.
Figures 2 and 3 are perspective vertical sections of Figure 1 shewing the flexible
lining or partition in its two positions.
Figure 4 is a plan and Figure 5 is a perspective sectional plan of the nose-
bag.
Similar letters refer to like parts in all the figures.
Within the nosebag a is disposed the flexible lining or partition b, which
detached resembles in shape a section of a similar nosebag of slightly less size
divided vertically into halves. This lining or partition b is secured along its
edges to the sides and bottom of the nose-bag a by stitching or otherwise so that
it may be adjusted to occupy either of the positions shewn in Figures 2 and 3
respectively.
The nosebag a is furnished on one side with the usual perforations c for ven-
tilation and when the flexible lining or partition 6 is arranged as represented in
Figure 2 so as to constitute a lining to the non-perforated portion or half of the
nosebag the latter may be used for feeding in the ordinary way. By adjusting
the lining or partition to the position illustrated in Figure 3 so as to consti-
tute à lining to the perforated half of the nosebag a water-tight container is
immediately provided and the nosebag becomes a water bucket, to which a con-
venient handle may be provided by shortening up the head strap.
A military or service nosebag constructed and arranged as above described may
be folded up and carried on the saddle in the same manner as the usual military
nosebag.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is:-
