THE HALTER INCLUDES BOTH A NOSE STRAP AND A NECK STRAP RESPECTIVELY ENCIRCLING THE NOSE AND NECK OF THE ANIMAL, AND THE NECK STRAP HAS FREE END PORTIONS ADAPTED TO OVERLIE EACH OTHER WHEN ENCIRCLING THE ANIMAL''S NECK. THESE FREE END PORTIONS ARE EQUIPPED WITH STRESS-RELEASABLE MEANS FOR DETACHABLY INTERCONNECTING THE SAME, AND SUCH RELEASABLE MEANS IS GENERALLY EFFECTIVE TO RESIST SEPARATION OF THE FREE END PORTIONS UPON APPLICATION OF LONGITUDINAL TENSILE FORCES OF ORDINARY VALUE, BUT WHEN THE MAGNITUDE OF ANY SUCH FORCE EXCEEDS A PREDETERMINED VALUE, SEPARATION OCCURS TO FREE THE ANIMAL FROM THE HALTER.
