PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Body Rollers for Horses and
other Animals.
I, JOHN JOWITT WILSON, of Fayrestowe, Kendal, Horse Clothing Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to " Improvements in the manufacture of body rollers
for horses and other animals" being chiefly employed for holding the rug in
position on the back of the animal.
Hitherto these body rollers or parts forming same have had a binding of leather
or cloth upon their edges, this is costly in production.
I will describe my invention thus :-
I employ in the manufacture of these body rollers self-edged woven bands, or
materials for the binds, mounts, facings and cross-pieces, of jute, linen, wool, cotton,
hemp, flax, or other textile fabric, the above being the constituent parts of a
body roller.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Body Rollers for Horses and
other Animals.
I, JOHN JOWITT WILSON, of Fayrestowe Kendal, Horse Clothing Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of body rollers for
horses and other animals being chiefly employed for holding the rug in position on
the back of the animal.
Hitherto these body rollers or parts forming the same have had a binding of
leather, or cloth or such like material affixed to their edges. To dispense with
this labour and cost I construct these body rollers from self edged woven bands, or
materials, for the bands binds, of the facings, mounts, and cross pieces, of jute,
linen, wool, cotton hemp, flax, or other textile fabric, the said parts forming a
body roller.
And in order that this my said invention may be more fully understood I shall
now proceed more particularly to describe the same, and for that purpose I shall
refer to the several figures on the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed, the same
letters of reference indicating corresponding parts throughout all the figures.
Fig. 1 is a view in plan from the outer surface of a body roller for horses aud
other animals, constructed according to my invention.
Fig. 2 is a view of same in plan from the under surface.
Fio 3 is a side view of same.

page_text: a is the band, b is the bind, e the cross pieces, d the back mounts, e the pads,
ffare buttons, as stays through which the stitches g g are passed for securing the
pads e to the band a. In Figs. 2 and 3 h h are known as the facings, i is a strap
or band which is passed round the body of the animal a suitable hole j engages
the tongue of the buckle 1, the end of passing under the loops m and n for
security.
I would observe in conclusion that I do not limit myself to the precise
configuration of the above, as I may modify the same without departing essentially
from the principle of my said invention.
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 in "Improvements in the manufacture of body rollers for horses and
other animals."
Constructing the same, or parts for forming the same from self edged woven
bands or materials for the bands binds mounts facings and cross pieces, sub-
stantially as herein before described in the foregoing Specification and shown on
the accompanying sheet of drawings.
