Complete Specification Left, 2nd Nov., 1895-Accepted, 7th Dec., 1895
WC, FREDERIO WATSON WALL and JOHN WHITE both of Fort Worth,
Tarrant County, Texas, U.S.A., Mechanics, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in applying to the under side of riding saddles two
inflateable pads one on each side of the centre line so that they will bear directly
upon the animal's back.
The pads are preferably made of an outer covering of india rubber strengthened
by an inside lining of canvas.and inside the canvas a rubber lining which is inflated
by means of a force pump or other suitable instrument through a stop cock and
tube. The two pads are connected by a tube so that both may be inflated at once
and this tube may extend across behind the rear end of the saddle, through the
body of the saddle or in any other convenient way. The outer coverings of the
pads are provided with ventilating air holes and there are also ventilating holes
extending right through the pads.

We, FREDERIC WATSON WALL and JOHN WHITE, both of Fort Worth,
Tarrant County, Texas, U.S.A., Mechanics, 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 object of this invention is to do away with the use of one or more blankets
between the saddle and the back of the animal and to substitute therefor inflateable
pada, which not only prevent the back of the animal from chafing but suppress the
jar and concussion from the animal to the rider and vice versa.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates the invention,
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a saddle with the invention applied thereto.
Fig. 2 a longitudinal section of the same.
Fig. 3 a vertical section of one of the pads taken through one of the
perforations.
Fig. 4 a side view of one of the pads.
Fig. 5 ahewa the pads applied to the saddle of a draught or carriage horse.
A is an ordinary riding saddle of any desired make or pattern to which the two
inflateable pads B are applied. These pads may be of the shape shewn or of any
other suitable shape and one is applied on each side of the central line of the
saddle as shewn in Fig. 1 so that they will bear directly upon the animal's back.
The pads preferably consist of an outer covering of india rubber which is
strengthened by an inner lining of canvas of proper shape, and inside the canvas
ו

suitable device through a stop cook and tube C as shewn. The two pads are
connected by means of a tube D so that both of them are inflated at once, and
this tube may extend across behind the saddle and through the body of the same
or may be located in any other suitable position. E are perforations by which the
pads are ventilated and kept cool.
The surface of the part of the pad which comes against the animal is preferably
covered with ordinary mackintosh or like material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :
1. A saddle combined with inflateable pads which are applied thereto, and which
bear directly against the animal's back and receive the weight of the rider in the
saddle, substantially as described and shewn.
2. Á saddle combined with two inflateable pads which are applied to opposite 1
sides of the central line of the saddle, substantially as described and shown.
3. A saddle combined with two inflateable pads which are connected by means
of a tube so that they are both inflated at the same time, substantially as described
and.shewn.
4. The combination of a saddle with two inflateable pads which are provided 2
with air holes or perforations, substantially as described and shown.
5. An inflateable pad to be applied to a saddle cousisting of an outer covering
of india rubber, a canvas bag placed within the rubber and a rubber lining inside
the bag, substantially as described and shewn.
