fapplieation filed January 23, 1915, serial No. 3,927. Renewed January 21, 191s. serial No. 213,102.
To all whom z't may concern:
' Be it known that I, ,JAMES J. MCMUL LEN, a cltizen of the United States, residing atBuifalo, in the county of Erie and State of` New Yorl,'have invented new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes, of which the following is a `speeiication.`
This inventionrelatesto an anti-slipping horseshoe yof the type having a eallr plate separatefrom the usual horseshoe, and more particularly to al cushioned shoe of this klndf i-One ofthe objects lof the invention is the production of a comparatively light and in-- expensive shoe of thisicharacter having a calli-plate which permits the shoe to ,be widened lor narrowed within limits to fit hoofs of different sizes. f
V"AV further objectfisl thev provision of elastic heel portions to` relieve-the animal i from-"shocks and jars.
-In the accompanying drawings:
lFigure l is a side elevation Iof the shoe applied tothe animals hoof. Fig. '2 is a top planlview thereof. Figh is a bottom v vplan view with oneof the rubber4 pads omitted. Fig.l4 is a transverse vertical section on line 4 4, Fig. 3. Figs.V 5 and 6 are longitudinal sections on lines 5-5 and 6G, respectively, off'Fig. 3. Fig. 7 is a perspective bottom view of the calk-plate.
i Similar. characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. e e
1 indicates the horseshoe fastened to the animals hoof by the usual nails and having the customary toe clip 2, 'butnoealks In place .ofsuch calks a separate calli-plate 3 is employed. This plate is preferably channeled to form downwardly-projecting flanges 4 and 5, the outerv ange 4 being notched in its lower edge to form non-slipping calks or teeth 6. This calk-plate has the generalcontour of the horseshoe, butl is preferably somewhat narrower than an4 average sized shoe. The front portion 7 of the outer ange 4 is so shaped as to form practically the front calk of the shoe. The heel portions of the inner and outer flanges 4 and 5 are united by integral curved portions 8, and the web or horizontal top portion of the calk plate terminates short of the rear ends of said anges, leaving openings 8?.
tions of the horseshoe preferably perma-` nently, but in such a manner as to allow limited longitudinal play or adjustment of the heel portions of the eall -plate Von the heel portions of the horseshoe, yin order to permit the shoe topbe widened or narrowed Arelatively to the calli-plate to iit different sized `hoofs. The preferred connections or fastenings shown in the drawings for this purpose consist of pins or rivets 12 secured to the horseshoe and passing through longi- .tudinal slots 13 formed in the heel-portions of the calli-plate. nail)7 located centrally in said slots. so that the shoe will fit anaverageesized hoof.
, ln order to narrow the shoe to it a hoo-lE below the averagesize, the blacksmith places one side of the shoe edgewise on the fiatportion ofthe anvil and gives it a few blows with a hammer to contract it to the desired size, the slots 12 permitting the necessary longitudinal movement of the heel portions'of the shoe on those of the calle plate, asbefore described. If the shoe is to be widened'to fit a hoof above the average size, its heel portions are spread to the necessary extent by placing them over the horn of the anvil. and giving the toe of the shoe a number of blows.
To reinforce the walls ofthe heel portionsk ofthe plate and' prevent collapsev or crushing thereof during this spreading operation, the shoe 1 is provided on the under- .side of its heel portions with transverse ribs TheseI rivets are origi-A Ypoints which-permit a spring action of said fheel portions which greatly relieves the animal from the shock and fj-ar inciden-t 4to' travel. To furnish further relief in this respect and prevent slipping,"-the'kheelportions of the gcalkeplate may be provided --withrub ber 'pads or cushions llG which. are 'molded around theTear-portiono'if the callrpliate-an'd shoe Aand :which -may also l be interposed between 'the recessed heel-portionsofthe Yshoe andthe calkeplate, 'as-showninFi'g. f1. 'Io anchor 'the cushions, theheel-portionsoffithe call-plate -may be 4provided with undercut -notches 17 `andfthefshoe-with slots 118.
19 findicates a shield or covering Lwhich is placed overfthe uppersidefofl thefcalk-plate to close theI central` openingf'theref vtand. prevent snow from balling'up under the yanimals hoor. Thisvv shield conformsto the general contour Yof the inner edge of the "horseslice, as shown in Fig. 2, andpreferably cone sistsof a layer of oanvas'co-ated-'with rubber on both sides. This shield andthe rubber padsv 16 may be vulcanized tothe shoe and the calla-plate at the` same time.
"The oalk-plate aswell as the rrubber pads or heel portions prevent slipping of theV anima'l, while the pads together with the recessed or reduced' heel portions of the fshoe relieve the animal from ljfarsu-pon fhardpavements. While Ipossessing 'these advantages, the shoe is notun'du'ly heavy, and it-fcanf'be produced at relatively small cost.
By 'constructing the vv'calk-'iplate separate from the shoe,-the platecan'be tempered to give' its flanges the necessary strength 'fto 1remain vimsaot and 'not fbend lover `and its gteeth the necessary 'hardness to `remain sharp and not =become vbattered or I"burred, while at the same time the plate has-the lrequisiteiiex'ibility `to permit expansion 'and V"contraction of its heel portions with those-ofthe 'main shoe in "'tting Vthe same t0 the animafls hoof.
