`Specification of Letters IIatent. Patented July 1'?, 1917.

Application filed March 26, 1915. Serial No. 17,152.

To all 'whom t may concern) Be it known that I, JOHN E. GOLDEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dunmore in the county of Lackawanna and State of Fennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in. Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in horse shoes of the type disclosed in my pending application Serial No. 7 56,810. As in the structure therein disclosed, it contemplates, among other objects, the provision of a shoe wherein a good steady footing is assured under ordinary working conditions, and in conjunction with which sharpened calks may be inserted and .removed without the necessity of removing the shoe.

A further object of this present invention is to provide a means for retaining thc sharpened calks, when used, so that they may be easily inserted and removed when desired, but so retained as to be incapable of jarring or working loose under the ordinary working conditions.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the following views being shown:

Figure 1, is a bottom plan view,

Fig. 2, is a sectional side elevation;

Fig. 3, is a detail cross section of heel;

Fig. 4f, is a plan view of a form of toe calk; v

Fig. 5, is a bottom plan view of a modiication;

Fig. 6, is a sectional side elevation of the saine;

Fig. portion; Y

Fig. 8, is a detail view of a portion of a calk securing instrumentality.

Referring specifically to the drawings, wherein like numerals designate like parts in the specification, the numeral 9 designates generally the shank or body portion of a horse shoe having a toe section and the usual heel sections as shown, and upon which are raised shoulders 10, performing the function of the ordinary flat calks.

For permitting the insertion and removal of anti-slipping calks, each shoulder is provided with a transverse inortise or opening j 11, and with a bore extending from the road engaging surface of the shoe into said 7, is a cross section through the toe.

2mortise. AThis arrangement when used 4alone provides a good road gripping surface, and permits easy cleaning of any obstructions from the openings when it isv desired to insert sharpened calks.

A tenon or calk holding element 11al is provided for the opening in each shoulder, those in the hee'l sections shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, being rectangular in form, while those disclosed in Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8, are preferably round, the openings being made to correspond with the particular form of tenon or keeper used.

It has been found sometimes desirable to provide the tenons with an extension as :it 12 to facilitate driving it from the opening, and in another form ears 13 may be provided to give an outer bearing surface on the body of the shoe, as shown in Fig. 4.

he tenons or keepers are provided with a threaded bore 14 which is adapted to be in line with the opening from the road engaging surface of the shoe into the morti se, when in position to receive a calk 15, and a shank 1G on the calk carries a threaded portion 17 which is adapted to coperate With the threaded bore in the tenon.

By the arrangement just described, it is possible to use a tenon of a much harder material than the body portion ofthe shoe, and this especially with the forms disclosed in Figs. 5-8, wherein the tenons are rounded. This insures a positive locking of the antislipping calk, and eliminates the difficulties which arise from. warping and wear.

l/Vhat I claim is 1. A horse shoe comprising a body portion having a toe section and heel sections; a raised shoulder on each section; each shoulder being provided with a transverse opening and with a bore extending from the road-engaging` surface of the shoulder into said opening; a tenon disposed in each opening; and a calk having a threaded shank threaded into the tenon in each section.

2. A horse shoe comprising a body portion having a toe section and heel sections; a raised shoulder on each section; each shoulder being provided with a transverse opening and with a bore extending from the roadengaging surface of the shoulder into said opening; a tenon disposed in each opening; a calk having a shank fitting in each bore; and a threaded extension on each shank threaded into each tenon.

3. A horse shoe comprising a body portion having a toe section and heel'sections;

:t raised shoulder `on= each Seetion;. eachl.

shoulder being provided With a transverse lopening extending therethrough and Withit* 5 bore extending from the road-engaging snriieel of "each shoulder into seid4 opening; a;

In testimony whereof I nix my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. 15
