COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Ventilator for Nose and other Bags and other purposes.
I, MARIE LOUISE BURGE, Gentlewoman, of 132 Montague Street Brooklyn,
in the County of Kings and State of New York, United States of America, do
hereby declare the nature of my 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 a device especially adapted for the ventilation of nose
bags, and it has for its object to so construct the ventilating device that improved
and more desirable provision is made for the ingress and egress of air through
absolutely unobstructed openings in the walls of the bag.
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several
parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth and pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this
Specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the nose bag having the improvement applied
and illustrating the application of the bag to the head of a horse;
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section through one of the improved ventilators and
through a portion of the bag; and
Figure 3 is a front elevation of a bag having the ventilators applied.
The ventilator consists of a hollow vessel made from any suitable or desired
material, and of any size that occasion may demand. Preferably the body 10 of
the ventilator is semi-spherical in general contour, its convexed surface being that
which is to be located within the bag, and the front or flat surface 11 of the
ventilator is provided with an opening 12 usually placed at the centre, and
ordinarily surrounded by a collar 13, which is preferably provided with a screw
thread.
In addition to the body 10 the ventilator consists of a binding plate 14 usually
of disc form, having an opening corresponding to the opening 12 in the body, and
this opening is surrounded by a flange 15 threaded to screw upon the threaded
portion of the body flange, and the convexed or cylindrical face of the body of the
ventilator is provided with apertures 16 more or less closely grouped..
When the ventilators are applied to the nose bag B, one of them is preferably
placed at each side of the front of the bag in such position that the ventilators
will rest against the animal's cheeks.
In applying the ventilators, openings are made in the nose bag of sufficient size
to permit the collar 13 of the body of the ventilator to pass through; the locking
flange 15 is then screwed upon the collar 13 to a firm bearing against the outer
face of the bag, whereupon the bag will be firmly clamped between the outer flat
face of the body and the disc 14, as shown in Figure 2.
I desire it to be distinctly understood that while the construction shown in the
drawings is preferred, the locking flange 15 may be otherwise secured to the body,
or said locking flange and its disc 14 may be entirely dispensed with, and the
collar on the body be simply turned down to a clamping engagement with the
outer face of the bag; but in this latter event the ventilator would not be
removable.
I further desire it to be understood that the body of the ventilator may be
entirely of a reticulated material, or be partially composed of such material;

may demand.
The invention is applicable not only to nose bags, but also to mail-bags or boxes
or receptacles of any kind in which ventilation is desirable or necessary.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
1. A ventilator for the purpose described, the same comprising a hollow
reticulated or perforated body, provided with an extension at one of its sides, the
opposing side being convexed, and means substantially as described for locking
the body to an object, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. A ventilator for the purpose described, the same consisting of a hollow
perforated or reticulated body provided with a flat outer surface and a convexed
inner surface, and an opening in its flat surface surrounded by a collar, and means
substantially as described for securing the ventilator to an object through the
medium of its collar, as and for the purpose set forth.
3. A ventilator for the purpose described, the same comprising a reticulated
or perforated hollow body, fitted for attachment to a bag, box or other receptacle,
as and for the purpose specified.
4. The combination, with a nose bag, of a ventilator located upon the inside of
the bag and comprising a hollow perforated or reticulated body having a cylin-
drical inner face and provided with an opening in its back communicating with
the opening made in the nose bag, as and for the purpose specified.
5. A ventilator for nose bags and other purposes, the same consisting of a
hollow perforated or reticulated body having an opening for the ingress and
egress of air, the said opening being surrounded by a collar, and a clamping
flange adapted for locking engagement with the collar on the body, as and for the
purpose specified.
6. A ventilator for nose bags, constructed substantially as herein set forth.
