HORSESHOE PAD FilBdOOL. 6. 1924 A TTORNEY.
Patented Sept. 14, 1926.
UNITED STATES GEORGE J'. I-IEYMOSS, JR.,
OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
HORSESHOE ZPAD. 7
Application fild October 6, 1924. Serial No. 741,884.
My invention relates to an improved horseshoe pad.
The object is to provide-a horeshoe pad adapted to serve as a cushion for the shoe and having a ground-engaging metal plate so supported on edge as to make for a particularly secure and good footing on the pavement and designed primarily for use on slippery and icy pavements,
An important feature is the provision of such a pad having a yielding portion to support the groundengaging plate below the surface of the pad so that the plate strikes the ground before the shoe which. is carried by the pad. This plate is so supported on edge that the toe of the plate first engages the ground, the plate being adapted to swing slightly about its support to bring the heel thereof into engagement with the ground.
The pad itself is of suitable cushioning material such as rubber and has a marginal horeshoe supporting portion, an integral heel portion and a loop-shaped lodge portion extending forwardly from the heel within the shoe, and a ground engaging plate surrounding the ledge and supported thereby at the toe below the surface of the pad and in such a manner that the toe first strikes the ground, said plate adapted to swing about its point of connectionwith the ledge topermit the heel to strike the ground, and a support for the plate adapted to yield under pressure to permit the toe of the plate to bear against the surface of the pad.
The above objects and others together with the details of construction of my improved horseshoe pad will more fully appear from the following description of the illustrative embodiment of my invention shown in the accompanying drawings and defined in the claims.
In the drawings,-
Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved pad with a horseshoe attached,
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 is a perspective of the pad with the horeshoe and plate removed.
My improved horseshoe pad is formed of suitable cushioning material such as rubber and is provided with a flat marginal portion 5 adapted to serve as a support for a horseshoe 6. The pad has an integral heel portion 7 which projects below the surface of the pad and there extends forwardly from this heel portion a loop-shaped ledge S of somewhat the same general shape as the horseshoe and positioned within the horseshoe and substantially smaller than the shoe. This construction is shown clearly in Fig. 3. i
Reference is hereby made to applicants Patent No. 1,496,414, dated June 3, 1924:, relating to a horseshoe pad which possessses certain characteristics in common with the one here described.
In association with the pad structure above set forth I pro ide a plate 9 adapted to surround the ledge S and secured thereto in a suitable manner such as by means of bolts 10 which extend through the ledge and through the plate to support the toe of the plate below the surface of the pad and at such a height that the toe of the plate will strike the ground before the toe calk 11 of the shoe 6 and also before the heel 12 the plate engages the ground. When my improved device is in use the toe portion of the plate 5) first strikes the gmund. This occurs before the toe of the horseshoe engages the ground and before the heel portion of the plate engages the ground. The plate 9 is supported by the ledge 8 of the pad which ledge is formed of the same structure as the pad, such as rubber, and this ledge yields under the pressure brought to bear upon it by the plate engaging the ground. The plate swings slightly about its connections 10 with the ledge so that the heel portion of the plate is brought into contact with the ground following its engagement by the toe portion of the plate.
This position is shown in dotted outline in 9 Fig. 2. Due to the yielding character of the ledge the toe portion of the plate moves toward the base of the pad and the plate is provided at the toe with a base flange l t adapted to engage the hat base portion of the pad.
The ledge 8 of the pad extends forwardly from the heel to such a distance that the toe of the plate 9 is supported forwardly of the frog of the horses foot.
My improved horseshoe pad when used as described operates to make a very secure footing and is particularly easy on the horses foot.
What I claim is:
1. The combination with a horseshoe, of a pad to support the shoe, said pad provided with a plate set on edge and having a toe portion projecting below its heel portion and below the horseshoe carried by the pad so as to first engage the ground.
2. The combination with a horseshoe, of a pad of cushioning material haying a marginal portion to support the shoe, a heel portion projecting below the surface of the marginal portion, a ledge portion extending "forwardly from the heel portion and also projecting below the surface of themarginal portion, and a plate set on edge and secured to said ledge so the toe of 'tlieplate is supported below the surface of the'pad and projects therefrom to a greater: height than the heel of the plate. q 3. The combination with a horseshoe, of a horseshoe pad having a marginal port on adapted to support the horseshoe, a heel" portion extending below the surfaeeojtsa1d marginal portion, and a ledge portion posi tioned forwardly of the heel portion and also extending below the surtacefol said marginal portion, and a ground-engagii'ig plate set on edge and secured to said ledge portion to be normally supported ,spaced below the surface of the marginal lportionf oi the pad and pro]ect1ng to a height greater the" horse than any portion of the pad or shoe carried thereby.
at. The combination with a horsesho' e, o;t
a horseshoe pad of cushioning material ha -I portion, an integrally formed heel portion pro1ect1ng to a greater height :tllfll'hjthQ marginal portion, and a loop-shaped ledge extending forwardly from the heel portion,
and a metal plate set on edge surrounding. said ledge and secured thereto to be supported thereby spaced below the. surtace ot the pad at the toe to project to a greater" height than at the heel of the plate and'to a greater height than the horseshoe supported mg a flat marginal horseshoe supporting the V V 1 In testimony whereof, I sign this specific t on.
by the pad.
5. The combination with a horseshoe, of
a horseshoe pad of cushioning material hav ing a fiat marginal portion to support the horseshoe, an integrally formed heel portion and a ledge portion positioned forwardly of the heel portion, each projecting below the projects a greater distance below said marginal portion of the pad than the heel oi the plate or the heel portion of the pad or the M horseshoe supported by the pad.
6. In combination with a horseshoe, a
horseshoe pad of cushioning material having a flat marginal base provided with an integrally formed heel portion which e):-
tends below said base and a ledge portion the pad and so that the toe oi the plate 55 which extends forwardly from the heel portion and also extends below said base, and a metal plate surrounding said ledge portion, said plate provided-with a base flange andset on. edge with said flange adjacent to the base of the pad and secured to said ledge "to be supported thereby spaced below the: base of the pad at the too so that the "toe of the plate extends below the base of the pad to a greater distance than the heel of the plate or the heel of the pad or the horseshoe 'supportedby the pad whereby saidfitoe oftheplate first strikes the ground eausing theiplate to tilt upon compression of the ledge to bring the heel of the plate into contact with the ground, said ledge being compressible to yield to permit the flangeot the plate to engage the base of GEORGE J.
