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 a Fly Net, for saddle, gig, or carriage horses; Henry Korn, Philadelphia, September 12.
This net in its construction resembles the well-known leather thong nets. 6. The net is constructed with three longitudinal straps of cotton, worsted, or silk, either woven, plaited, or braided; the ribs, or thongs, are woven, plaited, or braided, into the longitudinal straps, at right angles, and in a durable manner; the cord used for the ribs, or thongs, is substantial braided cord, far superior to twisted, or other kind of cord.”
The utility of this net is said to consist in its being light;-easily kept clean;-being of substantial materials;-that, its colour being bright, it will attract the flies, they preferring it to the darker skin of the horse;—its lightness will tend to keep it in motion; it may be fixed and removed very readily; the coloured cotton may be easily washed; the white cotton, worsted, or silk, easily dyed; the comfort of the horse, and the safety of the rider, will be promoted.
There is no claim; a drawing accompanies the specification, but is not referred to.”
