HORSESHOE.
Application filed October 3, 1921. Serial No. 505,017.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, J OHN BUCHANAN GILLIEs, of the village of Thornhill, in the county of York, and Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same. A
My invention relates to a horseshoe comprising two segmental sole plates pivotally connected together at the toe for their expansion and contraction in the fitting of the shoe to the sole of the hoof, adjusting means 5 at or near the heel of the shoe for the accurate spacing of the sole plates, and means for clamping the shoe to the hoof, the adjusting means for the sole plates being so located as to exert a pressure on the frog of the hoof and maintain it in a healthy condition.
Figure 1 is a vertical plan view of the horseshoe, with the toe plate constituting the toe band shown in a practically vertical position;
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. 7
The shoe consists of two segmental sole plates 1 and 2 having a pivot joint 3 at the toe by which they can swing outwards from, or inwards towards each other, in the adjustment of the shoe to the sole of the hoof.
Pivotally connected to each sole plate, in
the vicinity of the heel 4, are bolts 5 and 6 respectively, extending inwardly from the sole plates towards the central axis of the 85 shoe, and threaded on the bolts 5 and 6 is a turnbuckle 7 for respectively spreading or contracting the sole plates and effecting the accurate adjustment of the shoe to the sole of the hoof, the bolts and turnbuckle being so located with respect to the heel of the shoe, that they will engage the frog of the hoof and maintain on it the pressure which is necessary to keep it in a healthy condition.
At the toe of the shoe is a toe-clip comprising a metal band 8, shaped to engage the hoof, and a pair of metal links 9 and 10 connecting the metal band with the sole plates 1 and 2 respectively.
In the preferred constructlon, the sole plates are formed with through apertures 11 and 12 respectively and the links are formed with eyes inserted through the apertures and embracing the metal between'the apertures and the perimeter of the plates to provide for a turnlng connection of the toe-clip with the shoe, during the adjustment of the metal band to the hoof.
The metal band is formed near its extremities with bolt holes 13 and 14:, and at the heel of the shoe, the plates 1 and 2 are provided with through holes 15 and 16 respectlvely for the eyes 17 and 18 of the hoof v straps 20 and 21. The insertion of the eyes of the hoof straps through these holes forms a hmge connection between, the hoof straps and the sh0e.- The hoof straps, near their free ends, are screw-threaded and these screw-threaded extremities are inserted through the holes 13 and 14. Nuts 22 are threaded on the straps and engage the outer surface of the band 8. When the nuts are tightened, they bind the straps and toe-clip against the hoof and tightly clamp the shoe in place.
The sole plates may be provided with holes 23 for the toe calk or 'oalks with holes 24 for the heel calks.
In the use of the shoe, the sole plates, when 'the hoof is trimmed, are placed against the sole of the hoof and the turnbuckle is operated to adjust them until their perimeter is in line with the outer wall of the hoof. The nuts 22 are then tightened on the screwthreaded extremities of the shoe straps 20 and 21 to draw them and the band 8 tightly against the hoof and hold" the sole plates securely in position.
By means of this construction, the shoe can be fitted to the hoof without the employment of nails or other permanent fastening devices and can be easily and quickly removed and replaced whenever it is necessary to trim the hoof or renew the shoe.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A horseshoe comprising, two segmental plates pivotally connected together at the toe for their contraction and expansion, ad-

and bolts connected with the sole plates, and Dated at the city of Toronto, this thirmeans for clamping the shoe to the hoof conteenth day of September, A. D. 1921.
slstlng of a toe-band shapedto engage the JOHN BUCHANAN GILLIES' toe of the hoof, links pivotally connecting said band with the sole plates, and hoof In the presence of straps pivotally connected at one end with STANLEY RIoI-IEs, the sole plates near the heel of the shoe and ROBERT MoCLIN'rooK.
