The invention provides a horseshoe having a-separable toe calk and'integral heel calks arrangement to enable firmtand sure footing of peculiar shape and the animal to obtain a upon hard smoothcrowned roads and soft gravel surfaces regardless of traveling con-' ditions. i
The invention furthermore aims to supply a horseshoe of the character aforesaid wh ch may be'producediat acomparativel-y low cost and which is safe and obviates'side slipping as well. as front and rear slipping on ice covered or other hard and smooth surfaces.
The invention also provides a horseshoe having calks which are self-sharpening, and so formed as to prevent the wedging of snow, mud, and'the like, and which insure a level and even contact with the surface, thereby resulting in easier walking even wearing of the calks, and a firm and safe footing at all times and under all road conditions.
While the drawings illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that in adaptingthe means to meet specific needs and requirements, the design may be varied and such other changes in the minor details of construction may be resorted to within the scope of the invention as claimed, without departing from the spirit thereof. V
For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof, reference is to be had to the following description and the drawings hereto attached, in which,-
Fig. 1 is a bottom plan view of a horseshoe provided with calks embodying the invention; 2
Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a-view similar to Fig. 1 of a modification, a portion of the horseshoe being broken away; an
Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view on the line 4-4L of Fig. 3 looking in'the direction of the arrows.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to inthe following description and designated in the several views of the drawings by like reference characters.
The horseshoe maybe of any usual construction, and comprises having a toe calk 2 and heel calks 3, the latter forming an integralpart of the horseshoe, whereasthe toe calk 2 is separate from and attached to the horseshoe. The several calks approved or of the t a body 1" are of similar formation and are approximately of U-form, theretjrorsal ends of the toe calk; facing rearwardly -,and the corre sponding ends of the heel calks facingfov ward-1y. The front side of the toe calk is flush with the .front sideof thevhorseshoe,
whereas the retrorsal ends a areinset from t p the outer and inner marg nal. edge faces or sidesof the horseshoe, and are disposed inparallel relation, whereby to; prevent side slipping and present an extended surface for 'engagement'with the road. The inner or rear side ofthe toe calk is beveled for its full depth, as indicated at 5 thereby preventing snow, mud, and the like from wedging in the space enclosed by the rear hollow side of the calk. While any means may be employedfor securing the toe calk to the body of the shoe, it is preferred to provide the calk with integral studs 6 and to provide the.
toe portion of the shoe with openings to re ceive the studs, said openings being counter sunk to receive the upset or swaged ends of the studs 6 whenthe calk is in position, as shown most clearly in Figs. 2 and a of the drawings.
p The heel calks 3 constitute an integral part of the shoe, and are formed by bending the rear terminal portions downwardly, and
having the extremities bent forwardly, with v the result that the heel calks present a U- form and have the hollow sides facing. forwardly. Theforwardly bent or retrorsal extremities 8 are parallel with the sides of the respective end portions oft-he shoe and come flush therewith. The toe calk 2 is of such length and so disposed so that the outer sides of the retrorsal indicated by the dotted lines a-a and 6-6 in Fig. 1. This results in an even bearing ends 4 are in line with the inner extremities of the heel calks 3, as
and uniform distribution of the weight, so
that the'animal may obtain a level and sure footing with the result that walking is made easyand tilting prevented.
In the modification shown in Figs. 3 and e the outline and disposition of the toe calk 2 and the heel calks 3 are substantially thesame as the. corresponding parts shown in Fig. 1, the difference residing in having the rear side oflthe toe calk 2 beveled to provide a narrow edge 9, and both sides of the heel calks'beveled to provide a narrow edge 10. a t I I It is observed that the retrorsal ends of the several calks cooperate to prevent, side slipping, whereas the intermediate portions preventshpplng forwardly and rearwardly.
Obviousl there'is a coo eration between the component parts of the oalks to prevent the animal from slipping in any direction, and the result is the same, whether thesurface of the road is smooth, or soft and covered with gravel. By having the toe calk separate from and attachable to the shoe,it may be applied to a worn shoe, or one of any type. A horse shod with shoes having calks embodying the invention is enabled to obtain a firm and sure footing and to walk with ease and an even bearing, regardless of the nature of the road surface and traveling conditions. 7
Having thus described the invention, 1
claim tion of the shoe and having its terminal portions bent rearwardly and inset from the outer and inner marginal edge faces of the shoe, the forward edge face of said calk beingfiush with the outer edge face of the shoe, and its inner rear side face beveled for its full depth to prevent snow, mud, and the like from wedging in the shoe.
2. A. horseshoe having integral heel calks of approximately U-form with the retrorsal ends of the calks paralielwith the sides of the shoe, and a separable toe calk of approximately U-form and having its forward side flush with the front of the shoe and the retrorsal ends inset from the outer edge or side of the shoe, the outer sides of the arms of the toe calk being in line with the inner sides of the arms of the respective heel calks.
In testimony whereof I afflx my signature.
