Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
O. A. HOVE, OF FORT PLAIN, NEI/V YORK.
lMPROVED *HORSESHOB Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 39.926, dated September 15, 1803.
To a/ZZ whom, t may concern..-
Beit knownthat I, O. A. HOWE, of Fort Plain, in the county of Montgomery and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImp'rovement in Horseshoes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, malring a part of this specification, in which- Figures l and 2 are face-views of my invention with the india-rubber omitted or not applied to it; Figs, 3 and 4, face-views of the same with the india-rubber applied toit; Figs. 5 and 6, sections of Figs. 3 and 4, taken, respectively, in the lines x x y y.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
This invention consists in applying vulcanized india-rubber to a horseshoe in such a inanner that a rm connection of the rubber to the shoe is obtained, and the latter `prevented. from clogging up with snow, or balling, as it is technically termed, and also prevented from slipping, while the feet are prevented from being subjected to the jars and concussions which are the fruitful source of disease in horses, 'especially if driven over pavements in cities.
To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention, I will proceed to describe it.
A, Figs. 1, 3, and 5, represents the metallic portion of my improvement, which is of the same shape as an ordinary horseshoe, and is provided as usual with holes a, for the nails which secure the shoes to the feet to pass through. The metallic portion A of the shoe is formed with a recess, b, which extends all around it on its face or under side, and in this recess there are a number of pendent projections, c, which are provided with heads d, as.
shown clearly in Figs. 5 and 6. The metallic part A may be provided with toe and heelthe same in a quite thin layer, as designated by e in Fig. 5. The pendent projections c retain or hold the rubber iirmly to the part A l y of the shoe, in consequence of the heads or enlarged lower ends, d, of the projections c.
The part A', shown in Figs. 2, 4, and 6, does not have its rubber B extend over the top or upper surface of the part A;y and the part A has a fiange, f, projecting down all around its inner edge, so as to form a groove, b', to receive the rubber B. By having the india-rubber applied to the shoe in this wey, the horse is effeetuallyprevented from slipping, and also prevented from balling in winter while` snow is on the ground. The rubber also preserves the feet from jars and concussions, which are the cause of numerous evils or troubles pertaining to the feet.
This invention has been practically tested and found to answer an admirable purpose.
Having thus described my invention, I claim.
as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, as an improved article of manufacture- A horseshoe having india-.rubber applied and secured to it in the manner substantially as herein set forth.
O. A. HOWE.
