Die neueren Erfindungen und Verbesserungen des Hufbeschlages beschränken sich meistens darauf, entweder die Form des Hufeisens oder die Art der Befestigung und Anbringung am Hufe zweckentsprechender zu gestalten und die Reibung auf der Bodenoberfläche durch Einlagen von stark adhärirenden Materialien {Stricken, Tauen, Gummi, Filz, Kork, Leder u. s. w. in die Sohle oder zwischen die Schenkel des Hufeisens) so viel wie möglich zu verstärken.The more recent inventions and improvements in horseshoe are mostly limited care, either the shape of the horseshoe or the way it is attached and attached to the shoe To make hooves more appropriate and to reduce the friction on the ground surface Deposits of strongly adhering materials {knitting, rope, rubber, felt, cork, leather etc. into the sole or between the legs of the horseshoe) as much as possible strengthen.

Nach vorliegender Erfindung wird Gummi als Beschlag gewählt, welcher vermöge seiner Elasticität, Federkraft und inneren Consistenz gegen Granitpflaster eine weit gröfsere Haltbarkeit und Widerstandsfähigkeit zeigt als Eisen und Stahl, und welcher aufserdem ganz besonders die Eigenschaft besitzt, sich an ebene und glatte Flächen anzusaugen, hohle Räume luftdicht abzuschliefsen und Unebenheiten in der Bodenfläche auszugleichen.According to the present invention, rubber is chosen as the fitting, which by virtue of it Elasticity, spring force and internal consistency compared to granite pavement have a far greater durability and resistance shows as iron and steel, and which one more particularly has the property of sucking itself into flat and smooth surfaces, hollow spaces To be sealed airtight and to level out any unevenness in the floor surface.

Der Erfinder will, abweichend von den bisher verfolgten Principien, der Hufsohle beim Auftritt möglichst viel Bodenfläche entziehen, die Berührung mit dem Boden auf ein möglichst geringes Mafs beschränken und stellt zu diesem Zwecke luftdicht abschliefsbare Hohlräume aus Gummi in einem Stück unter der Hufsohle her, aus welchen beim Auftreten des Pferdes auf glatten und ebenen Flächen bei dem Zusammendrücken durch das Gewicht des Pferdekörpers (im Durchschnitt ca. 10 Centner) die Luft zum Theil herausgedrückt wird und unter dem Rande entweicht, so dafs beim Auftreten des Pferdes eine ansaugende Wirkung des Gummis erzielt wird, auf welcher die Sicherheit des Ganges beruht. Die auf nassem und schlüpfrigem Asphalt und Holzpflaster lagernde feine Schmierschicht, welche gerade am gefährlichsten für die Sicherheit des Ganges der Pferde ist, soll hierbei zum Vortheil als ein luftdicht abschliefsendes Bindemittel benutzt werden.The inventor wants, contrary to the principles followed up to now, to the sole of the hoof Withdraw as much floor space as possible, keeping contact with the floor as small as possible to a small extent and for this purpose provides hermetically sealed cavities made of rubber in one piece under the sole of the hoof, from which when the horse treads on smooth and flat surfaces the compression due to the weight of the horse's body (on average approx. 10 cents) the air is partly forced out and escapes under the edge, so that when stepping on of the horse a suction effect of the rubber is achieved, on which the safety of the gait is based. The one on wet and slippery asphalt and wooden pavement laying a fine layer of smear, which is straight which is most dangerous to the safety of the horse's gait is said to be of advantage here as a airtight binding agent can be used.

Auf Granit und schlechtem Steinpflaster, sowie auf Chausseen wirkt der Gummitragerand als elastischer Buffer, welcher jede Erschütterung des Pferdes beim Gange erheblich abschwächt und hierdurch eine grofse Schonung des Pferdes möglich macht.The rubber edge works on granite and poor stone pavement, as well as on roads as an elastic buffer, which considerably reduces any shaking of the horse while walking weakens and thereby makes a great protection of the horse possible.

Um diese Zwecke zu erfüllen, ist das in beiliegender Zeichnung in seinen einzelnen Theilen dargestellte Hufeisen mit saugender Gummitrittfläche construirt worden.In order to fulfill these purposes, this is detailed in the accompanying drawing Partly shown horseshoes have been constructed with absorbent rubber tread.

Dasselbe besteht aus einer entsprechend starken, der unteren Fläche der Pferdehufsohle angepassten Gummiplatte aus einem Stück a, Fig. ι und 2, auf deren äufserem Rande ein starker, entsprechend hoher Tragerand a¹ aus Gummi aufgesetzt ist. Die Befestigung am Hufe geschieht mittelst Schrauben c mit Normalgewinde (Fig. 3), welche durch den Boden der Gummiplatte in ein leichtes Hufeisen b von schmiedbarem Stahl eingreifen, in welchem auf beiden Seiten des inneren Randes eine Anzahl mit den Löchern in der Gummiplatte correspondirender Löcher b, Fig. 3. zur Aufnahme der Schraubengewinde eingeschnitten sind. Zur Sicherung der Befestigung des Gummibeschlages am Eisen legt man zwischen den Gummi und die Schraubenköpfe eine entsprechend durchlochte Platte von Stahlblech, durch welche gleichzeitig der Druck der SchraubengewindeThe same consists of a correspondingly strong rubber plate, adapted to the lower surface of the horse's hoof sole, made of one piece a, ^{FIGS. 1} and 2, on the outer edge of which a strong, correspondingly high support edge a 1 made of rubber is placed. It is fastened to the hoof by means of screws c with normal thread (Fig. 3), which engage through the bottom of the rubber plate in a light horseshoe b made of forgeable steel, in which on both sides of the inner edge a number of holes corresponding to the holes in the rubber plate b, Fig. 3. are cut to accommodate the screw threads. To secure the attachment of the rubber fitting to the iron, a correspondingly perforated plate of sheet steel is placed between the rubber and the screw heads, through which the pressure of the screw thread is simultaneously applied

Claims

evenly distributed over the whole base and the holes in the rubber plate sealed airtight. The horseshoe b itself, which can be made as light as possible, is only used to attach the rubber plate to the iron and, therefore, since it is not subject to any wear and tear, when the rubber shoe is renewed, it can continue to be used as long as the Threads, which hold the fastening screws, function reliably and do not become loose (i to ι α / 2 years). To achieve absolute safety of the gait in winter, the fastening screws cc1 can be replaced in winter by prismatic screw studs of the shape shown in FIGS. 5 a to 5 d, which are provided with several sharp points corresponding to the number of edges of the prismatic base body. The tips e then extend, as FIG. 4 shows, to the tread surface of the rubber edge α1, and the wear of the rubber edge and the steel tips will keep the same pace as they advance and compensate for each other. According to the inventor, the advantages resulting from this new type of shoeing compared to the previously used types of shoeing are essentially the following: Greatest savings in horseshoes and shoeing costs (4 irons versus 40 per year); Greatest protection of the horse's hooves and tendons by weakening every shock; Achieving a comfortable, safe, easy and noiseless gait; Self-injuries to the horse through shoeing are absolutely excluded; the rubber fitting remains screwed on in the stable. In this way it protects the lower sole of the hoof in and of itself against the penetration of foreign bodies when walking and prevents the penetration of moisture from the litter in the stable, since the horse always walks and stands on a dry insulating layer; Diseases of the hoof and tendons are prevented. Then there would be no more: thrush, muddy bugs, hoof sores, hoof infections, stone galls, loose walls, horn fissures and crevices, crown steps, overlegs, dents, tendon folds, joint sprains, etc. Due to the easy interchangeability of the rubber plates, the fitting is completely independent of the iron and The addition of the plates does not require the horse to be re-shod. The undisturbed growth of the horn mass of the hoof and the frog is thereby "significantly promoted. When using the aforementioned sharp prismatic screw-in studs in winter and when it is slippery, self-injuries to the horse through crown kicks are completely excluded because the rubber rim completely covers the studs as a wide protective cap. Easy factory production of the fittings according to the appropriate shapes. As a very important advantage, finally, safe protection of people in contact with horses against fractures of skulls or bones caused by horse hooves.

1. A horseshoe, characterized in that the whole underside of a horseshoe b attached to the hoof in the usual way is covered by a rubber plate α , which is provided with a closed supporting rim a ^l running around the outer circumference of the plate and by means of screws c attached to iron b.

2. A horseshoe of the type marked below, in which all or some of the screws c are formed into prismatic screw studs e which are provided with several sharp points corresponding to the number of edges of the prismatic base body.
