the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I construct spring or pneumatic cushions of suitable size and shape and attach
them to the animals body by straps or other suitable method, in such a manner,
that when the animal is thrown by having its legs drawn together in the usual

can be secured to its body in such a manner and are so constructed that they are
an absolutely safe protection from bruises.

Cushions or Pads for Preventing Animals from Injury during the
Process of Casting or Throwing for Veterinary Surgical Opera-
tions, and for Protecting Animals in Transit by Land or Water.
CORNELIUS WILLIAM HERBERT, 2, Filbert Street, Aylestone Road, Leicester,
Specialist in Castration and Spaying Animals, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
My invention consists in new reliable and novel pads or cushions, fitted with
proper fastenings, and made suitable sizes to fit any size horse, or animal.
These pads or cushions are made of strong cloth, or any suitable material, and
stuffed with wool, or any soft, flexible substance, or made of pneumatic and
waterproof fabric, which can be filled with cold or hot water, or air, as required,
when the animal is being operated upon, or in transit by land or water.
I also attach suitable straps chains or couplings, to the pads, or cushions, and
fix same to the head or any part of the body of the animal, to to be operated
upon, in such a manner that when the said animal, is thrown, by having its legs
drawn from under him, in the usual way, these cushions, or pads, prevent the
body, or head, of the animal coming in contact with the ground, or any hard
substance, and protects it from injury.

page_text: Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
description of same.
Reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this
specification.
Fig. 1. A A illustrates the body pad or cushion, and B D & E the straps or
couplings for same.
Fig. 2. C, illustrates the head pad, or cushion, and B D, E, and F, the straps
and fastenings, for same.
When an animal is being operated upon-or in transit either by land or water.
The pad or cushion A, Fig. 1, is attached to the body, by the coupling B,
and the pad or cushion, E Fig. 2, is fastened to the head by the straps D, E,
and F, in such a manner, that the animal is perfectly safe from injury and
protected from. bruises upon any part of the body.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
-
The novel arrangement of pads, or cushions, made of strong cloth or any suit-
able material, and stuffed with wool or any soft, nexible substance, or made of
pneumatic and waterproof fabric, which can be filled with cold or hot water, or
air, as required, and fitted with straps, couplings, and fastenings, as described
above.
Which when fixed on any animal in the proper position, makes it impossible
for the said animal to sustain any injury when being thrown down for veterinary-
surgical operations or when in transit by land or water.
Dated this 21st day of March 1900.
