An Improved Nosebag for Horses and other Animals.
JOHN RAVEN WARD 22 High Street, Harlesden, London, N.W. Baker and
Confectioner, and RICHARD JOHN EDMONDS HURMAN 19 Fourth Avenue,
Queens Park Estate, Harrow Road, London, Millers' Traveller 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 invention consists of a save-all or bag extending from one side of an
ordinary nosebag to the other side, at the top edge, to the height of four to eight
inches, made of canvas and clastic, tarpaulin-canvas and elastic, or other material,
preventing the waste of corn or other food whilst horses or other animals are eating
from an ordinary nosebag, also a pad three to four inches in diameter on the top
inside part of above-mentioned save-all, also a hook on both sides of the save-all on
the suspending strap. The whole attached to an ordinary nosebag at the hinder-
most part of its top edge and suspending strap.
We will now proceed to more fully describe our invention with reference to the
accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 of which is a front elevation & Fig. 2 a section of
our saveall, the same letters of reference used for the corresponding parts.
A is a piece of canvas or other material sewn to the back portion of the nose-
bag H and also a short distance up the straps B which pass over the animal's
head. To these straps B we attach hooks A which hooks hook onto the bridle
and thus keep the saveall close to the animal's head.
On the top of the canvas A is sewn a band of elastic C for the purpose of
keeping the saveall close under the animal's lower jaw, to which elastic band we
fix a pad D to prevent any waste which might be caused while the animal is
eating.
Inside the before mentioned canvas A we sew another piece E which is also
provided with an elastic band F attached to the bottom to keep the canvas E close
under the animal's jaw so that the food can get behind it.
G (see Fig. 2) is a bag or compartment formed by the piece of canvas E being
sewn tightly across the loose piece of canvas A. Into this bag or compartment Ğ
the food falls when the animal throws its head up and returns into the nosebag
when the same is lowered to its proper position.

page_text: Having now particularly described the nature of our said invention, and in what
manner the same may be performed we declare that what we claim is :-
(1) In a nosebag the hooks A' which fasten on to the bridle for holding the
save-all close to the animal's head as described.
(2) In a nosebag the canvas save-all consisting of pieces of the canvas A. & E
forming a bag or compartment G and elastic bands C & F for the purpose described
and shewn.
(3) In a nosebag the combination and construction of parts constituting our
said invention as particularly described and shewn.
