The object of the invention is to provide an Preferably two slits in planes at right angles 25 improved horseshoe-calk exceedingly simple, to each other are employed, as shown in Fig. cheap, and durable in construction and com- 5. These slits form the shanks of tongues, posed of a minimum number of parts, the priwhich are forced out.

This tool has a beveled edge to be driven between the shoulder of the calks and face of the shoe, and thereby force or prize out the calk. The beveled or wedge-shaped end has a notch or recess, as shown, to fit the shank of the calks.
Having fully described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is I 1. The calk in one piece, having its shank The" split and expansible, the longitudinal passage through the calk, and the expanding-pin in such passage, combined and arranged to operate as set forth.
2. The calk in one piece, with its shank split longitudinally to render it expansible and having the passage extending longitudinally through the calk and contracted within the shank, and the expanding-pin, combined to operate as set forth.
3. Theherein-described l1orseshoe-callghaving the expansible shank, and the expandingpin extending from the contact end of the calk longitudinally within the same, said pin bebeing so relatively formed by a bulge as to expand the shank as the pin is forced inwardly, substantially as described.
In testimony that We claim the foregoing as our own we affiX our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
