UNITE STATES PATENT OFFICE.
\ ARTHUR D. BAKER, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
OPEN-TOED HORSESHOE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 479,111, dated July 19, 1892.
Application filed March 9, 1892. Serial No. 424,320. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR D. BAKER, of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to shoes for horses; and it consists of the novel construction and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a face View of a shoe embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a rear end view. Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig 1, but showing the shoe without calks. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail of a portion of the shoe.
Referring by letter to the drawings,A designates the shoe joined together at the rear ends by means of a transverse portion A; but at the forward end the shoe is separated one side from the other, as shown at a, so that in effect the shoe comprises two side portions 0, a joined together at the rear end, but free at the forward ends. By this construction the portions 0, a will readily yield laterally or spread slightly apart at the forward end to allow for the expansion or contraction of a hoof. The transverse portion A, besides serving to hold the parts a (1 together, may also serve as a protector for the frog of the hoof. With this end in view I shape it to conform substantially to the shape and size of the natural frog. It has a forward projection a to extend over the apex of the natural frog, and it is slitted from its rear edge forward, as at a, which will allow a slight lateral expansion and contraction of the parts a a of the shoe at the rear ends. The slit of also gives free access for air to the natural frog. If desired, each portion a a may be provided with 'a toe-call; b and with a heelcalk b. The portion A may also be provided with calks 19 In Fig. 4 I have shown the shoe and frog protector with the calks omitted, which may be desirable for shoes where lightness is a feature to be secured.
In Fig. 5 I have shown a metal frog-protector which may be readily and rigidly attached by welding to any ordinary shoe. It is provided with lateral wings c, which may be welded to the shoe in a manner well understood by a person skilled in the art.
This shoe may be made of any serviceable material.
Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. A horseshoe consisting of two side portions separate one. from the other at the forward ends and joined at the rear ends by a transverse portion rigidly attached to the shoe and providing a frog-protector, substantially as specified.
' 2. The combinatiomwith the shoe, of the transverse portion joining the rear ends thereof and conforming substantially to the shape of a natural frog and calks on said shoe and transverse portion, substantially as specified.
ARTHUR D. BAKER.
