  • Publication number: 20160017592
    Abstract: The present invention is a cage like structure designed to protect a well head. It is anticipated that the cage will be made of steel or other rigid materials. The structure separates in the center, parting on a rail system in order to allow a user to service the protected well head inside the structure. The structure has a roof section that can come off in order to allow for proper height during road or rail transport of the structure, or the structure and a well head. It is anticipated that the structure will be designed incorporating a sloping shape in order to help deflect falling objects from the structure and protected well head.

  • Patent number: 8474229
    Abstract: The present invention is a wrap designed to protect the saddle horn when a lariat rope is dallied around it and pressure applied, as when roping cattle in the sports of team and calf roping. The horn wrap consists of a strap having desired elasticity and durability, as well as a sufficient coefficient of friction. The horn wrap can have one or two apertures at the tips which can be pulled over the saddle horn and act to attach the horn wrap to the saddle horn. Generally anticipated to be in a generally bell shape, the attachment pieces act to protect the saddle pommel near the base of the saddle horn. The horn wrap may be beveled near its edges so as to allow for smooth layers on the saddle horn which can increase the contact of the rope to the saddle horn to increase the friction resisting the dally sliding when weight is applied to the rope.
