Improvements in Riding Saddles.
1, JOSEPH ALBERT BARNSBY of 135 Lichfield Street, Walsall in the County
of Stafford, Brown Saddler, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention consists in the construction of removable suspension saddle seats
and consists in suspending the seat by fixing two staples into the back of the
cautle of tree and passing them through two holes cut in the back cantle of seat.
Two screw loops pass through the front of the seat and tree into sockets, which
are fastened into the pannel, so that by unscrewing these screws the seat may be
removed. The formation of the cantle of tree is continued so as to form the shape
of the seat thus entirely doing away with the necessity of forming the belly and
under work of seat as in an ordinary saddle.
The seat is blocked the shape of the saddle tree, which can be made in blocked
solid leather or padded.

Improvements in Riding Saddles.
I, JOSEPH ALBERT BARNSBY of 135 Lichfield Street Walsall in the County
of Stafford, Brown Sadler, 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, reference being had to the accom-
panying sheet of drawings and to the letters and figures marked thereon:-
This invention has reference to the construction of removeable suspension saddle
seats and consists in suspending the seat by fixing two staples into the back of the
cantle of tree and passing them through holes cut in the back cantle of seat. Two
screw-loops pass through the front of the seat and tree into sockets, which are
fastened into the pannel, so that by unscrewing these front screws the seat may be
removed.
The formation of the cantle of tree is continued so as to form the shape of the
seat, thus entirely doing away with the necessity of forming the belly and under
work of the seat as in the ordinary saddle.
The seat is blocked the shape of the saddle tree, and it can be made in blocked
solid leather or padded.
Referring to the drawings
Fig. 1. shews a complete saddle,
Fig. 2 a saddle tree. and

page_text: Two staples a, a, are fixed into the back cantle of tree each passing through two
holes cut in the underside of the back cantle of sent, and two screw-loops, (b shewing
one of them) pass through holes, e, in the front of the seat and d, d, in the front
of the tree into sockets to receive them in the pannel, thus suspending the seat e,
and by unscrewing these screws the seat may be removed.
The cantle of the tree is continued on the curve ff, instead of taking the usual
form shewn in dotted lines, thus forming the shape of the seat and doing away with
the necessity of forming the belly and under work. The seat is then formed the
shape of the saddle tree, as at Fig. 3 either of blocked solid leather or padded.
Having now 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. Constructing suspension saddle seats substantially as herein set forth, whereby
they are readily removeable.
2. Forming the trees and seats of saddles as shewn and described in reference to
Figures 2, and 3. of the drawings.
