Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 15,1913.
Application filed July 2, 1912. Serial No. 707,322.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, l/VILLIAM H. PUCKETT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Macksville, in the county of Stafford and State of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to horse shoes and has for an object to provide a device of this character which may be readily adjusted around the hoof of an animal and secured in place thereto without the use of nails.
Another object of the invention is to provide a shoe with an anti-slipping surface which will include a plurality of spur like elements which are adapted to depend from the inner surface of the shoe and means removably associated with the shoe and with said spur like elements and operable to hold the latter operatively connected with the shoe and out of contact with the hoof of the animal.
In the drawing forming a portion of this application, and in which like letters of ref erence indicate similar parts in the several views :Figure 1 is a perspective view of the shoe showing the companion parts thereof separated relatively. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the shoe showing the same in a closed position. Fig. 3 is a transverse section through a portion of the shoe. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the calks. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a slightly modified form of calk. Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the shoe showing a slightly modified construction of the same.
The shoe herein shown comprises relatively adjustable shoe sections 1 and 2 which are hingedly connected together as at 3 at their forward ends. Each section is provided with a flared side wall 4 adapted to embrace the hoof of an animal and to be securely confined thereagainst through the medium of the clamping device 5. This de vice is preferably in the form of a turn buckle whose screws 6 have such engagement with the flared walls 4 of the shoe sections that they will permit the sections to be readily and quickly adjusted to clamping posltion.
Each shoe section is provided with passages 8 through which metal or fiber calks 9 are extended. These calks are provided with relatively broad upper shoulders 10 that are adapted to engage against the upper surfaces of the shoe sections whereby the outward movement or adjustment of each calk 1S limited. The pin which pivotally connects the sections 1 and 2 together also pivotally supports a guard plate 12 which is of a shape conforming with that of the shoe and which overlies the sections 1 and 2 when the latter are closed relatively as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing so as to extend over the shoulders 10 of the calks 9 and to thereby present means for preventing undue movements of the calks in the inward directions that might irritate the hoof of the animal. By connecting the guard plate 12 to the shoe as above described either one of the shoe sections can be swung outwardly The calk receiving passages 8 are providedwith flared portions 13 so that the passages are made to accommodate calks such as the one shown in Fig. 4 of the drawing. This calk which is designated by 14 is provided with a tapered wall 15 which is adapted to lie in contact with the portions 13 of the calk receiving passage. This calk under the construction shown is provided with a relatively sharp ground engaging edge or surface 16 whereby the shoe can find theproper purchase against slippery surfaces to prevent the animal from falling. The guard 12 is slightly yieldable so that the calks of the shoe may yield slightly and thereby readily take to irregularities in the surface of the ground.
The guard plate 12 preferably comprises substantially identical sections 12 and 12 whereby they may be conveniently adjusted relatively to expose the horizontal calk receiving flanges of the shoe sections 1 and 2 as shown in Fig. 1. However, it is to be understood that the guard plate is constructed of a single piece of material if desired. The said sections 12 and 12 are of a shape conforming with the inner surfaces of the flanges of the sections 1 and 2. The flanges 4 of the sections 1 and 2 are provided with retaining spurs 17 which extend inwardly and outwardly as shown so as to engage against the sides of the hoof of the animal and thereby insure a proper attachment of the shoe to the hoof.
In the modified form of the invention shown in Fig. 6 the section 1 of the shoe is provided with an integral bar 18 which extends transversely of the shoe and which terminates in a threaded stem 19 which is adapted to be passed through the flange 4: of the section 2. A nut 20 is adjustable on the stem 19 and is adapted to bear against the flange of the section 2 whereby both sections may be adjusted relatively.
I claim A horse shoe comprising flanged sections hingedly connected together and having their flanges provided with inwardly and downwardly projecting retaining spurs means for adjusting the sections relatively whereby the sections and the said spurs may be brought into clamping engagement with the hoof, calks connected wit-h the sections,
and a guard connected with the connecting hinge of the sections and extending over the upper surfaces of the sections and ongaged against the calks when the sections are closed relatively, said guard being disposed within and of such configuration as to conform with the curvature of the opposed faces of the flanges of said sections.
In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
