Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. Only the patent drawing is available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
"For Making Pads for Harness, &c.; Silas Lamson, Sterling, Worcester county, Massachusetts, January 5.
A rod of iron bent into a curved, or crescent-like, form, is to have perforations at each end to receive the terrets, and attach it to the pad. The object of this contrivance is to keep the centre, or connecting part of the pads from the back and withers of the horse, so as by throwing the weight on each side to prevent injury to the ridge of the horse's back. This connecting rod may, it is said, be bent in any desired curve, and instead of iron, other metals may be used. There is no claim made, nor does one appear to be necessary in the present case, as nothing more is described than the thing intended to be patented."
