and Cattle.
CHARLES WILLIAMSON of Carrol Street, Preston, Lancashire, Rope Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improvement in web halter heads for horses and cattle,
and consists of the web passing through a slot at the corner of that portion going
round the nose, and is doubled upwards and held in position by a strap and buckle
attached to the side or portion of the halter going round the head; by this means the
length going over the head can be adjusted to suit any size of head perfectly and

Improvements in the Construction of Web Halter-heads for Horses
and Cattle.
I, CHARLES WILLIAMSON, of Carrol Street, Preston, in the County of Lancaster,
Rope 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 relates to an improvement in web halter heads for horses and cattle
and consists in passing one end of that part of the web which goes round the animal's
head through a slot in the corner portion of the balter where the web is turned at
right angles from the head part to pass over or round the animal's nose the end of the
web so passed through the said slot being doubled or returned and held in position by
a buckle and a strap attached to the side or head part of the halter. By this arrange-
ment the length of the head part of the halter can be varied and adjusted to suit
different sizes of heads. The object of this invention is to obviate the necessity of
reducing the length of a web halter head by stitching it double or tying it up.
In order that my invention may be better understood reference is had to the accom-
panying drawings in which is shewn a woven web halter constructed according to my
said invention.
In Fig. 1 the head part of the web is shewn as when adjusted to a reduced length
and in Fig. 2 the same halter is shewn as when adjusted to an extended length.
In the said drawings H is the head part of a web halter and N the nose part.
CC are leather corner pieces or portions of the halter hereinabove referred to the
corner piece C having a slot or narrow opening s through which one end of the web H
is passed. A buckle b is attached to that end of the web H which passes through the
slot and a strap d having buckle holes at intervals for regulating and adjusting purposes
is fastened to the web H as shewn.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what 1
claim is :-
Arranging the head part of web halters for horses and cattle to pass through a
slotted corner piece such as C and to have a regulating strap and buckle attached
