J. CLARK 8v F. W. FLOYD. QUARTER BOOT POR HORSES.
No. 476,517. Y l Patented June '7, 1892.
.. 21.' ,fa/1 f UNirnD STATES @PATENT Cnr-ion.
JOHN CLARK AND FRANK W. FLOYD, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
QUARTER-BOOT FOR HORSES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 476,517, dated. June 7, 1892.
Application tiled June 25, 1891.
To MZ whom it may concern: Y
Be it known that we, JOHN CLARK and FRANK W'. FLOYD, citizens of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and usefullrnprovementin Quarter-Boots for Horses; and we declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 a longitudinal central section, of a device embodying our invention.
Heretofore in the manufacture of quarterboots for horses they have been made with a stiff outside leather backing and with a soft flexible apron adapted to extend up the back portion of the foot, and this apron has not been fastened along the upper edge of the sti shield or backing,but has been detached along this edge, so that thel apron might yield readily up and down witho'ut rubbing or irritating the horses foot. This construction, however, has proved to be disadvantageous in that the horse in traveling is apt togthrow gravel, stones, or dirt into the space between the outer shield and the inner apron, which, being held in this position, will very quickly injure the horses foot. It is the purpose of our invention. to overcome this difficulty, while we still maintain the yielding apron, by employing an inner and an outer portion of the apron stitched together at the top and having the outer portion stitched to the top of the shield and the lower portion stitched to the bottoni of the shield.
In carrying out our invention, A represents the stift outer shield. Y
a represents clips adapted toeiitend down and beneath thehoof and aid in retaining the boot in place.
Serial No. 397,533. (No model.)
and the inner thickness B is sewed to the bottom of the shield. It is apparent that by this construction we preserve the feature of the apron, as the inner lining B folds upon itself without rubbing up and down, being permitted to yield up and down with the foot of the horse without rubbing or abrasion. At the saine time, the space being wholly closed at Z2', no dirt or gravel-stone can find a lodginent between the outer shield and the apron. The inner thickness of the boot may be lined with wool or the like, or a thickness of wool may be placed between the two thicknesses of the lining of the boot in order to deaden any blow upon the boot. The two thicknesses of. the boot-lining may also beso sewed together and attached to the stiff portion of the boot as to forin an air-space adapted to retain air and serve as a cushion to deaden a blow upon the boot.
The clips a may be attached at any points about the boot to either the stiff portion or the lining of the boot, and one clip instead of two may be employed.
The advantages of our invention are evident and important.
llVhat we claim is- 1. A quarter-boot for horses, consisting of shield A and a double flexible apron having an inner portion B and an outer portion B, stitched together at the top and having the outer section B stitched to the upper edge of the shield and the inner section B stitched to the lower edge of the shield, substantially as described.
2. A quarter-boot for horses, consisting of a Shield A, a doubie lining B and n'jthe outer thickness of lining stitched to the upper edge of the shield and the inner thickness stitched to the lower edge of the shield, and a cushion between said inner lining B and the shield and outer lining, substantially as described.
In a quarter-boot for horses, the combination of a shield and an inner and outer apron, the outer apron adapted to prevent the accumulation of gravel in front of the shield andthe inner lining adapted to ileX with the foot of the animal, substantially as described.
IOO
4. A quarter-boot for horses, comprising t VIn testimony whereof We sign this specifica4 shield A and a double lining B B', the outer tion in the presence of two Witnesses.
lining stitched to the upper edge of the shieid, JOHN CLARK.
