Extract from Specification.—My invention is designed to provide, in combination, a saddle-cloth, a saddle-cover, a knee-protector, and a back-protector for the horse. The saddle-cloth is made a suitable length to extend in rear and (or) in front of the saddle so that it may act as a back-cover for the horse, and the front portion may be pulled over the knees of the rider, or over the saddle when the rider is dismounted. Eyelet-holes are provided to allow the breast-plate straps and crupper being fastened to the saddle, and suitable clips or straps are attached to fasten the cover in its various positions as required.

Extract from Specification.—Providing such boxes with a sound-receiver surrounding same. With this object we form the box with a continuous cavity or air-space around it, either externally, internally, or both, and thus prevent the slightest sound entering or leaving the box. The vibration is conveyed into this cavity or air-space in a series of motions which gradually diminish, becoming less and less until totally exhausted in the air-space aforesaid.
