GEORGE E. BROWN, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
HORSESHOE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 259,630, dated June 13, 1882, Application filed January 24, 1880.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE E. BROWN, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Horseshoe, of which the followingis a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in horseshoes, in which the sides are gradually increased in thickness vertically as they approach the heels, with an outward bevel to their upper surfaces; and the objects of my improvements are, first, to provide a means in a horseshoe for spreading a contractedhoof; second, to afford facilities for raising the heel for forcing the bones of the ankle back between the walls of the foot at the heel. These objects I attain by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the entire device. Fig. 2 is a'top or plan view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a cross-section taken at the line X X of Fig. 2.
Similar letters refer to like parts in the several views.
Arepresents the front part of the shoe, which is forged down thin and the surplus metal drawn back into each side B B of the shoe.
These sides B B gradually increase in thickness vertically but decrease in thickness laterally as they approach the heel ends. The lower surface of the shoe is perfectly flat and level, and the upper surface gradually increases in thickness from the toe to the extreme ends of the heels. At the same time the upper surface of each heel O O is beveled with an incline outward, as shown in the crossdinary shoes, thus leaving the rear portion of the hoof on each side of the shoe free to be expanded by the outward bevel or inclination given to the upper surface of the heels 0 G.
I am aware that prior to my invention horseshoes have been made with an increased thickness of the sides toward the heels; also, that shoes have been made with the heels split by horizontal slots, forming spring-heels, and to such devices I make no broad claim; but
What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The new article of manufacture, consisting of a horseshoe having a flat bearing-surface from the toe to the quarters, the sides gradually increasing in thickness vertically, but diminishing in thickness laterally, and having their upper parts inclined outwardly from the quarters to the heel and the inner upper surface concaved, as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEO. E. BRONVN.
