SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION
This class includes, besides the usual harness for attaching
animals to vehicles, such harness arrangements or devices in connection
with harnessed animals as are used for breaking or training animals,
preventing their kicking; also horse-boots, riding saddles, spurs,
ox-yokes, fly-nets, and such bonnets and protectors or shields for
protecting the animal from sun, rain, etc., as are adapted to be
attached to the animal or the harness; also, blanket-fasteners when
not useful in other relations; also all pad, collar, and hame fasteners,
halter, hame, and trace, trace and whiffletree couplings, and trace-
carriers, generally relating to working animals.
General Note: Wherever the drawings are associated with the
definitions, they are merely used to illustrate the basic concept
encompassed by the definition of that subclass and should not be
construed as limiting the scope of the subject matter covered by
that subclass.
