SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 323,914, dated August 11, 1885.
' Application filed October 8, 1884., (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EUGENE F. COLLINS, of Anson, in the county of Somerset, State of Maine, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Hoof-Pads, of which the following is a description sufficiently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which said invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical transverse section showing my improved pad in use; Fig. 2, a bottom plan view of the same detached from the hoof; Fig. 3, a vertical longitudinal section, and Fig. i a View of the wire detached from the pad with its hook unturned.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.
My invention relates to that class of hoofpads which are employed for keeping the frogs of horses hoofs moist, and for applying medicines of various kinds to this portion of the foot; and it consists in a novel construction and arrangement of the parts, as hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed, by which a cheaper, simpler, and more effective device of this character is produced than is now in ordinary use.
The nature and operation of the improvement will be readily understood by all conversant with such matters from the following explanation, its extreme simplicity rendering an elaborate description unnecessary.
In the drawings, A represents the hoof or foot of the horse, and B the body of the pad.
The pad is composed of a single piece of felt cloth out into proper form to lit the cavity of the foot and entirely cover the frog, and is provided with an attaching-wire, 0.. This pad, and provided at its forward end with the projection 06, and near the rear end with the hook (l, and is secured in the pad by a rivet,
t, which passes through a coil, f, in the wire,
preferably disposed near the forward end of the pad. The lower side or half, m, of the pad is additionally felted or thickened to render it water-proof, or nearly so, and thereby more effectually retain the water or medicines applied to the upper side, i.
To enable the lower section, at, of the pad to be rendered water-proof, as described, it is preferable to form it of materials which are more readily felted than those which compose the upper section, although this is not absolutely necessary, as the result may be usually attained by additional labor expended on the portion to be waterproofed.
In the use of my improvement the pad is placed in the hollow of the hoof, with the section t uppermost, the projecting portion 00 of the wire 0 being inserted beneath the toe of the shoe D, as shown in Fig. 1. The hook d is then inserted in a hole in the attaching-strap E, which is passed around the foot of the horse and buckled at K.
Instead of passing the hook through a hole in the strap, the strap may be inserted beneath the hook, if desired.
The pad is of such a length that when it is in use it will pass up around the rear portion of the hoof a short distance, forming an upturned extension, B, as shown in Fig. 1, thus entirely covering the frog, and enabling it to be secured to better advantage by the strap E, the wire 0 being sufficiently elastic to permit the pad to be bent or turned upwardly at the heel, as described.
In case it is desirable for any reason to thicken the body ofthe pad, it may be pushed along the wire 0 from the heel toward the toe, thus crowding the material of which its body is composed into a more compact space in the hollow of the hoof.
Having thus explained my invention, what I claim is 1. A flexible hoof-pad composed of a single piece of felted material, the upper portion thereof being loosely felted, and the lower scribed.
portion being hardened, substantially as de-- 2. A fieXible hoof-pad composed of a single I piece of felted material, the upper portion thereof being loosely felted, and the lower portion being hardened, said pad being provided with means for attaching it to the hoof, substantially as described.
EUGENE F. COLLINS.
