The conically-shaped parts are pivotably connected to each other. The bridle gear is connected on each opposite open end of the bridoon rings. These types of bridoons are subjected to a relatively high degree of wear and tear due to tension, friction, and pressure. Furthermore, the bridoons should be corrosion proof. These bridoons, as is generally known, are inserted into the mouths of horses so that the bridle gear can be connected to rings provided on each of the free ends of the bridoons.
There are conventional bridoons which are made of German silver and rust proof or stainless steel. The individual parts of the bridoon are formed by casting. The bridoon is therefore rather heavy, and puts an unnecessary strain on the horse. Some conventional bridoons are cast hollow from German silver. It has not previously been possible to cast a hollow bridoon from rust proof super refined steel. However, only this noncorrosive material is sufficiently hard to withstand the relatively high degree of wear and tear to which the bridoon is subjected.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a bridoon of the above-mentioned type made of rust proof super refined steel which is very light in weight. The invention provides a method for making a bridoon wherein the bridoon is formed by a plurality of pipe pieces made of rust proof super refined steel which are tapered on one end. At least two rings are provided at their tapered ends and are joined together by means of welding. On the opposite ends of the pipe pieces, tapered olive-shaped or ovoid jackets are mounted which are also made of rust proof super refined steel. Rings for mounting the bridle gear are provided on the oliveshaped jackets.
In another embodiment of the invention, the cylindrical hollow parts of the bridoon are made of deep drawn rust proof sheet metal with the free ends being tapered and bent. At leasttwo rings made of rust proof super refined steel are welded to the open ends of the bridoon. Bores are provided on the other ends of the bridoon for mounting the rings which fasten to the bridle gear. With this latter method, it is possible to make the individual bridoon parts either with relatively thin rust proof deep drawn sheet metal, or super refined steel pipes, to provide resulting in a hollow bridoon.
It is therefore an object according to the present invention to provide a method for making, and a bridoon constructed of rust and corrosion-proof steel, or stainless steel which is hollow in design and lightweight.
It is another object according to the present invention to provide a method for fabricating, and a bridoon which is simple in design, easy to construct and reliable in operation.
Other objects and features of the present invention willbecome apparent from the following detailed description considered in connection with the accompanying drawing which discloses the embodiments thereof. It is to be understood, however, that the drawing is designed as an illustration only and not as a definition of the'limits of the invention.
In the drawing wherein similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of the inventive bridoon;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken through Section [-1 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view of an open connecting ring;
FIG. 4 is the cross-sectional view through an oliveshaped jacket, and;
FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view of a further embodiment of a hollow bridoon.
Referring to FIGS. l-4, there is shown one embodiment of the inventive bridoon I consisting essentially of two tapered pipe pieces 2, pivotably connected to each other. These parts are made of rust proof super refined steel pipes which are initially cut to predetermined lengths. Each individual part is tapered at one end. The tapered end is then flattened. Thereafter, the connecting rings 3, which are initially open as shown in FIG. 3, are connected to each other, and their open ends 7 are pressed together. Each ring 3 is then welded to the flatened end of pipe pieces 2.
A jacket 4 is welded onto the other end 8 of pipe piece 2. Jacket 4 is also made of a rust proof super refined steel pipe and is also tapered on both ends, so as to form an olive-shaped configuration. Fastening parts 5 are mounted on olive-shaped parts 4. A ring 6, also made of rust proof super refined steel is provided on the bridoon to receive and hold the bridle gear. The hollow bridoons are extremely light in weight, in contrast to conventional bridoons.
The further inventive embodiment of FIG. 5 is a bridoon 11 wherein the cylindrical hollow part 12 essentially consists of deep drawn rust proof super refined sheet metal. Parts 12 are then tapered and bent at their open free ends. The open end 14 is flatened to mount ring 13. The connection between pipe part 12 and ring 13 is performed by welding. Pivotable mounting rings 16 which receive the bridle gear bores 15 are provided at the far end of jacket 12. Rings 16, also made of rust proof super refined steel, are mounted in bores 15.
While only a few embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described it will be obvious that many changes and modifications may be made thereunto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
