Description
UNITED STATES PATENT IOEEICE@ JOHN H. BROWN, OE WATEETOWN, MINNESOTA.
HORSESHOE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J. H. BROWN, of Watertown, in the county of Carver, in the State of Minnesota, have invented a new and Improved Horseshoe with Grooves in the Heel Portion of the Shoe` with elastic filling to prevent lameness; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, rei'- erence being had to the ings, and to the letters thereon.
The nature of my invention consists in grooving the heel portions of the horseshoe on the inside and inserting into these grooves a piece of an elastic substance, such as india-rubber vulcanized, which will lie between the horses hoof and the iron horseshoe, thereby breaking the concussion of the foot striking` on hard roads or street-pavements, and consequently preventing lameness.
To enable others skilled in the art to make use of my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
I construct my horseshoe similar in shape to other shoes, excepting raised rims D on the edges of the shoe, thereby causing grooves A,
accompanying drawof reference marked for the purpose of inserting the elastic substance G. These grooves A are tapering, commencing at C, and being deepest at B. The piece Gr, being wider at 0 than at B, prevents it from slipping backward, and must be cut tapering to fill up the grooves, and, being thicker at B than at U, prevents the horses foot from touching the iron. The rims D hold theinserted elastic substance iirmly in its place.
I do not claim, broadly, the use of india-rubber or other elastic material interposed between the shoe and the hoof; nor do I claim, broadly, inserting the elastic material in a groove formed in the surface ofthe shoe; but
What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The tapering grooves in the heel portions ofthe shoe, formed in the manner and ofthe shape described, in combination with the short tapering section of indi a-rubber, as and for the purpose set forth.
J. H.l BROWN.
