HORSESHOE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 741,326, dated October 13, 1903.
Application filed April 13 1903.
T0 00% whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK D. G001)- LAKE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Chattanooga, in the county of Hamilton and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to horseshoes, and particularly to that class known as hoofpads.
The objects of the invention are, first, to produce a novel device for protecting diseased soles or frogs of horses feet from undue pressure by contact with the rough road-bed and at the same time retain dressingthat may be applied to the foot; second, to produce a horseshoe in which a retaining and protecting plate is readily applied and removed and whereby said plate is securely held against accidental displacement. Furthermore, an object of the invention is to provide means for preventing rattling and clatter of the engaging members in the toe portion of the shoe where the plate is held by a cross-bar.
Finally, the object of the invention is to produce a horseshoe of the character noted which will possess ad vantages in points of simplicity, (in which access of gravel between the retaining-plate and foot is guarded against,) efficiency, and durability, proving at the same time comparatively inexpensive of manufacture.
With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.
In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, wherein like characters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which- Figure l is an underneath plan View of a horseshoe with a protector embodying the invention applied. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the retaining-plate. Fig. 4
is a sectional view through the heel of the shoe and the plate with the screw-call: in elevation.
In the drawings, A indicates a shoe for a Serial No. 152,372. (No model.)
I horse,which may be of any ordinary construc tion, having a fixed toe-call: B of any desired size or configuration. A retaining-bar G extends across the shoe near the toe and has its two ends welded or otherwise securedto the under surface of the shoe on each side. Holes D are formed through the heels of the shoe, each of which is threaded to receive the threaded shank E of the heel-calk F. The
shape of the calk is immaterial; but I prefer to have it angular in cross-section in order that a wrench may be employed to apply and remove said calks.
A combined protecting and retaining plate G has a tongue f, designed to fit under the cross-bar, and the inner end of the tongue is rounded to conform to the inner edge of the shoe for the purpose of preventing the escape of the dressing or for preventing access of gravel or other foreign matter. tion of the tongue and plate said plate is cut to form shoulders f, which extend out and bear on the under surface of the shoe. The edges of the plate on the sides are curved to conform to the shape of the groove G, in which the nail-heads are seated. By having the plate in the shape and size described gravel will not find its way between the shoe and plate. The plate has apertures f at the heel, registering with the holes in the shoe, and the shanks of the calks are inserted through said holes and screwed into the threaded apertures of the shoe for retaining the said plate in position.
In practice I prefer that the drop of the tongue with relation to the plate shall be slightly less than the thickness of the bar above the lower surface of the shoe, so that when the plate is first applied without pressure it will stand in the position shown in dotted lines, Fig. 2, and will be seated on the shoe throughout its side surface by the screwing in of the calks. This would effect a binding of the tongue on the cross-bar and would prevent rattling of the plate should the dressing shrink or the pressure on the tongue be removed.
Having fully described'my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A horseshoe having a cross-bar secured to the under surfaces of the sides near the toe,
At the juncthe heels of said shoe, having threaded aperapertures, and a retaining-plate having a tongue bent under the bar, and said retaining-plate having apertures registering with the apertures of the heels through which the shanks of the calks travel to bind the plate to the shoe.
2. A horseshoe having a cross-bar secured to the under surfaces of the sides of the shoe near the toe, a plate having shoulders, a tongue formed with the plate at the junction of the shoulders, the said plate being bent down to fit under the bar, the drop of the tongue being slightly less than the thickness of the bar above the lower surfaces of the sides of the shoe, the inner end of the tongue conforming to the contour of the inner edge of the shoe, the side edges of the plate conforming approximately to the inner wall of the grooves, said plate having apertures, the heels of the shoe having threaded apertures with which the apertures of the plate register, and the heel-calks having shanks threaded in the apertures of the .heels of the shoe and binding the plate to the shoe, as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I at'fix my signature, in the presence of two Witnesses, this 10th day of April, 1903.
