Improvements in the Manufacture of Dog Muzzles.
I, CHARLES WILLIS, of 120 Rumford Street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Dog Muzzle Manufacturer, 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:-
This invention has for its object to provide means for fastening together the wires
or strips of muzzles made of aluminium at the joints or junctions and also means
for preventing friction on the head of the animal by metal muzzles generally.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures, Figs. 1 & 3 being side views and Fig. 2
a plan of Fig. 1 showing various forms of my improved muzzle.
In carrying out my invention and referring to the figures generally I fasten
together the wires or strips A of muzzles made of aluminium at their joints or
junctions a with pieces of wire or strips 6 or stamped out pieces of suitable shape
of other metal than aluminium which will permit of readily being soldered together,
which is not the case with aluminium.
In order to prevent friction upon the head of the animal by metal muzzles
generally, I employ on the wires or strips of the muzzles wherever necessary loose
cushions or rollers c made of rubber, leather, or other flexible material.
I may form the wliole muzzle, except the fastenings, of aluminium wire or
TD 027

page_text: strips A, for instance as shown in Figs. 1 & 2, or I may use leather straps & for the
back portion, as shown in Fig. 3.
The collar e of the muzzle I may form of aluminium, as shown in Figs. 1 & 2,
in two parts hinged together, one end having. holes f and the other a spring
tongue g adapted to engage in the said holes or I may use an ordinary leather
collar, as shown in Fig. 3.
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 :-
1st. In the manufacture of dog muzzles made of aluminium, fastening the
respective wires or strips A at their joints or junctions by pieces of wire or strips
or stamped-out pieces b made of other metal than aluminium, which pieces are
wrapped round the said joints or junctions and soldered together, all substantially
as and for the purpose set forth.
2nd. In dog muzzles, the use of loɔse cushion or roller c on the wires or strips A
forming the muzzle, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
