  • Patent number: 11485628
    Abstract: A grazing restrictor for attaching to a halter. The restrictor includes a body portion surrounding a central opening. A plurality of elongate segments extend outward from the body portion. The elongate segments have a plurality of openings defined therein. The elongate segments are configured and arranged to be folded upward relative to the body portion to form the shape of a muzzle. The grazing restrictor is formed from an elastic material capable of laying flat in a first configuration and being folded into the shape of a muzzle in a second configuration.

  • Patent number: 10029522
    Abstract: A vertical hitch pin for connecting a tongue to the hitch on a vehicle. The hitch pin has an elongate opening for receiving a pivoting bar. The bar rotates clockwise from a center position where the bar fits substantially inside the hitch pin during insertion of the pin through aligned openings in the trailer tongue and the hitch to a first laterally extending position where the bar is rotated under the force of gravity until a portion of the bar engages with a first portion of a surface of the body bordering the elongate opening. The bar may also be capable of rotating counterclockwise from the center position to a second laterally extending position where the bar is rotated under the force of gravity until a portion of the bar engages with a second portion of the surface of the body bordering the elongate opening.
