RICHARD BARCLAY, OF SODOM, OHIO.
DEVICE FOR ATTACHING HORSESHOES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 448,312, dated March 17, 1891.
Application filed May 17, 1890.
To all? whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, RICHARD BARCLAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sodom, in the county of Trumbull and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Devices for Attaching Horseshoes, of which the followingis a specification.
My invention relates to an improved construction and combination of devices for attaching shoes to the hoofs of horses without the employment of nails, thus avoiding the inconvenience and torture frequently resulting from the use of ordinary attaching devices and enabling the shoe to be readily attached and removed without requiring the services of a blacksmith.
The invention will be first described, and then pointed out in the claims.
In the annexed drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved horseshoe and holder for attaching the shoe in place. Figs. 2 and 3 are opposite side views of the same applied to a horses foot. Fig. 4 is a rear view of the shoe and holder applied. Fig. 5 represents the toe and heel calks. Fig. 6 is a bottom view of the horseshoe. Fig. 7 is a plan of a plate that may be used to cover the frog of the horses foot.
In carrying my invention into effect I attach the shoe 1 to the lower edge of a holder or quarter-boot 2, which is shaped to conform to the horses foot and may be made of sheet metal or any other suitable material.
If desired, the shoe 1 and its holder 2 may be made integral; but I prefer to provide the lower edge of the holder or quarter-boot 2 with a flange 3 to receive the screws, bolts, or rivets 4, by which the shoe and holder can be connected, as shown.
The horseshoe-holder or quarter-boot 2 is made in two parts or sections 5 and 6, connected bya hinge 7 on one side at or near the heel of the shoe and detachably fastened together on the opposite side by a clamping screw-bolt 8, passed through suitable openings in lugs 9 on the adjacent vertical edges of the two parts of the holder. It will be seen that by this construction the shoe can be readily and securely attached to the foot without the use of nails, and may be easily removed and replaced without requiring the services of a smith or farrier.
Serial No. 352,165. (No model.)
When it is desired to protect the frog of the hoof, a plate or protector 10, of metal, rubber, gutta-percha, or other suitable material, may be employed. This protector-plate 10 is held in place between the shoe 1 and holder 2 by means of the rivets or screw-bolts at, that socure said shoe and holder together, and the same rivets or screw-bolts also fasten the toecalk 11 and heel-calks 12 in place when it is desired to provide the shoe with detachable calks. In this construction it is preferable to provide the shoe 1, the protector-plate 10, and the holder 2 with eight bolt-openings in each, so that each call: can be secured by means of two bolts l, which also serve to connect the shoe, the holder, and the intermediate protector-plate, that are further connected by other bolts or rivets 4, located on opposite sides between the toe and heel calks. It is obvious that the protector-plate 10 and calks 11 and 12 may be dispensed with whenever they are not needed. When screw-bolts 4 are employed to connect the shoe and holder, they may be provided with nuts l3,as shown. By this mode of attachment the shoe can be worn with comfort and without any risk of injury to the hoof, the horse will not be pricked or otherwise harmed and is not liable to have shoe-boils or to calk or cut himself with one foot against the other, the hoof is thereby protected and all injury from contraction following the insertion of nails is avoided, and, by locating the heel-calks parallel with the shoe, as shown, a surer footing is afforded and the horse is protected from slipping sidewise, while the lateral arrangement of the toecalk gives a firm hold in pulling or backing.
The quarter-boots 2 on the hind feet serve to protect these feet from being out by the shoes on the fore feet while the horse is in action.
If desired, the heel portion 6 of each quarter-boot may be provided with screw-bolts 14, hearing against the hoof, to tighten the boot on the foot, and if the horse has quarter-cracks they may thus be pressed together and so held until healed.
Instead of the frog-plate 10, or in connection therewith, a bar 15 may be arranged across the base of the shoe to prevent its spreading and at the same time protect the frog.
If desired, stocking 16, of chamois or other suitable material, may be placed in the quarter-boot, and held in place above the boot by means of an elastic band 17 or other suitable fastening. This stocking will obviate friction and keep the foot cool and healthy by permitting a proper circulation of air at each movement of the foot.
What I claim as my invention is 1. The combination, with a nailless horseshoe 1, of a quarter-boot 2, connected with the shoe and formed in two parts or sections 5 and 6, and screw-bolts 14L, passed through the rear boot-section 6 and adapted to bear against the hoof to tighten the boot, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with a nailless horseshoe 1, of a quarter-boot 2, formed in two parts 5 and 6, hinged together on one side and provided with flanges 3 and lugs 9, the bolts 4,
passed through said shoe and flanges, the bolt 8, engaging the lugs 9 to fasten the quarterboot, and the bolts 14, passed through the rear boot-section 6 and adapted to bear against the hoof to tighten theiboot, substantially as described.
The combination, with a nailless horseshoe 1, of the quarter-boot 2, formed in two parts hinged together on one side, the stocking 16, and the bolts 14, passed through the rear section of the quarter-boot to bear against the hoof and tighten the boot, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have affixed ny signature in presence of two Witnesses.
RICHARD BARCLAY.
