CUSHION-HonsEsHoE.
Specfication of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 27, 1920.
Application filed November 14, 1919. p Serialv No. 338,052.
To all whom it may concern: n
Be it'known that I, HENRY PAAR, a citizen of'the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Cushion-Horseshoe, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to horseshoes and more particularly towhat might be termed spring-tread or spring-heel shoes, provided with removable cushioned c'alks, and de vised with the object of diminishing concussion to, and preventing the animal accidentally pulling olf, the calli in case of meeting with an obstruction.
The objects of the invention are to construct a horseshoe with removable calks whereby all of the advantages of elasticity of tread, andthe consequent avoidance of concussion due to hard pavements or roads and the accidental displacement of the call; are obtained, without disadvantage as to the durability of the shoe or injurious effects upon the animals hoof; and the invention consists in providing the shoe with a pair of removable cushion calks provided with removable and compressible cushions, which can be readily applied to horseshoes now in general use.
Further objects are the provision of a removable and replaceable cushion calk for horseshoes which is simple, strong and durable in construction, efficient in use, easily and readily applied to the heel portion of a usual construction of horseshoe, and ineX- pensive to manufacture.
TWith these objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, itV being understood that various changes in the form, proportions, size, and minor details of construction may be made within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
Figure 1V is a bottom plan view of a horseshoe embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the horseshoe;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view through the cushioned calli;
Fig. 4 is a--detail perspective view of the calli; and
Fig. 5 is a similar view of the cushion.
A practicalembodiment of the invention is disclosed in the accompanying drawings,
forming a part of'this specification, inA
which similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding partsi throughout the several views.
The shoe is indicated by the numeral 1, and may be of any usualand well-known construction, preferably provided at the toe portion with the integral calk y2. A ypair of apertures 3, 3a is located through each heel portion of the shoe, these apertures being spaced longitudinally upon the shoe as shownV and extending vertically through the shoe. With they exception of the provisions of these apertures the shoe is of known construction and is not otherwise changed eX- cept that it is provided with the tapped bores 4, one of said bores being provided in each heel portion.
A cushion y5 of rubber or other resilient or elastic material is mounted upon the tread portion of each heel of the shoe, constituting a compressible cushion adapted to diminish concussion upon the animal when the shoe is worn and providing an elastic tread. The cushion isprovided with the vertical end grooves 6 adapted to aline with the apertures 3, 3a, and with a boss 7 provided with a vertical aperture 8 adapted to aline with the tapped bore 4.
A calk 9 is mounted against each of theI cushions 5 and provided with the spaced studs 10, 10a arranged to be accommodated within the grooves 6 and to be slidably received within the apertures 3, 3at respectively. vEach calk is preferably provided upon its inner face with a vertical depression 11 and with an ear 12 at the lower extremity of said depression, said ear having l a countersunk aperture 13 therein registering with the aperture 8 in the cushion and arranged to seat the head of the screw 14 which is located through the aperture 8 in the cushion and engages the tapped bore 4 outward movement of the calk with reference to the shoe, obviating any lost motion, but the inward movement of the calk is limited only by the compression of the cushion 5, a resilient or elastic tread being thus assured and the concussion to the animal being appreciably diminished.
The lower or tread face of the calk is preferably of greater height at its rear end and tapered slightly forward, and is generally provided with the serrated tread face l5 to aid the animal in traveling over icy or slippery roads or pavings.
From the foregoing description it will be evident that a simple and efficient cushioned calk is produced which may be quickly and readily applied to the shoe, means be ing provided for preventing the accidental displacement of the calk by the animal. It should also be noted that the calk is applicable to any usual construction of shoe, this in itself being a material advantage as no special form of shoe is necessary in carrying out the invention. Furthermore it will be evident that the elasticity of the tread obtained by the construction of shoe above described has the effect of not only diminishing concussion, but of increasing the durability of the shoe, and the cushions besides affording elasticity of tread act also as insulators to prevent the transmission to the hoof of the heat generated by friction or acquired by contact with the hot pavements or roads.
I claim: e
1. A horseshoe having each of its heels provided with a pair of spaced apertures, a cushion mounted against each heel between said apertures and having vertical grooves in its ends registering with the apertures, a calk engaging each cushion7 studs upon the calk engaging the grooves in the cushion and extending into the apertures, an ear upon the calk, and a screw located through the ear and through the shoe.
2. A horseshoe having each of its heels provided with a pair of spaced apertures, a cushion mounted against each heel between the apertures and having vertical grooves in its ends registering with the apertures, a boss upon the cushion provided with a vertical bore, a calli engaging each cushion, studs upon the calk engaging the grooves and extending into the apertures, a perforated ear upon the callr registering with the boss on the cushion, and a screw located through said ear and boss and through the shoe.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name.
HENRY PAAR;
