Abstract
An equestrian bit consists of a steel core which is at least partly encased in plastic. The core is made up of two holding members for the rings attached to the reins of a horse, and an elongated bendable member which connects the holding members to one another. Each of the holding members includes a tubular portion which is provided with a shoulder at either end. When the core is coated with plastic by injection molding, the shoulders enhance the flow of plastic around the tubular portions. Each of the holding members further includes a protrusion which projects outward from the peripheral surface of the respective tubular portion. The protrusions are formed with channels which receive the ends of the connecting member, and such ends are soldered, brazed or welded to the protrusions. Insertion of the ends of the connecting member in the channels allows a strong bond to be achieved between the connecting member and the holding members.
