IVILLIAM HENRY BERWIOK, OF SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES.
NON-SLIPPING HORSESHOE.
SPEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 642,574, dated February 6, 1900.
Application filed August 4, 1899.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM HENRY BER- WIOK, asubject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Sydney, New South Wales, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.
When used upon wood blocks or asphalt pavements, the ordinary horseshoe is liable to slip, with the result that the horse frequently falls and considerable difficulty is experienced in getting it on its feet again.
' The shoe that forms the subject of the present invention has been devised with a view to prevent such accidents and to allow the horse to obtain a firm hold upon the ground over which it is traveling.
The invention consists in forming the shoe with beveled edges, its base or under side being indented at intervals with undercut or dovetailed grooves. It will thus be seen that by constructing the shoe in this manner its under side will be provided with a number of sharp edges, which will insure a firm foothold for the horse.
In order .that the invention may-be thoroughly understood, reference is made to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Figure 1 is an underneath plan of a horseshoe constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation taken on the line 1 2 of Fig.1. Fig. 4c is a cross-sectional elevation taken on the line 3 4 of Fig. 1.
A is the shoe, the inside and outside edges of which are beveled outward, as shown more particularly in Figs. 3 and 4. The under side Serial No. 726,174. (No model) of the shoe is indented at intervals with a number of undercut or dovetailed grooves B. In the drawings three of these grooves are shown; but I do not confine myself to any number of grooves nor to their positions, as such may be varied to suit the different sizes of shoes. By constructing the shoe in this manner it will be seen that a number of sharp edges are provided on its wearing-surface. These edges face in all directions, so that a firm foothold for the horse is obtained and liability to slip is thereby minimized.
The outside edge of the inner limb of the shoe, instead of being beveled, may be rounded, as shown at a, Fig. 4, so that the horse will be less liable to out its other legs while trotting or struggling.
The shoe is fastened to the hoof in the ordinary manner. As the shoe wears down the sharp edges will be retained because of the bevel upon its sides.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what'manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is A horseshoe having inner and outer beveled edges, a nail-groove centrally of and concentric with said edges,a dovetailed recess formed centrally of each side member of the shoe, and a similar dovetailed recess centrally of the front of the shoe, substantially as described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM HENRY BERWIOK.
