SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 760,924, dated May 24, 1904.
Application filed September 21, 1903- Serial No. 174,034. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM EDWARD SANDI- FER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lexington, in the county of Fayette and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in horseshoes, and especially to that class known as soft-tread shoes, adapted to give-more comfort to the horse and to prevent slipping in inclement weather. 7
To more fully understand my invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows in side elevation a horses hoof shod with my improved shoe; Fig. 2, a bottom plan View of the shoe; Fig. 3, a plan and elevation of the nut for tightening the wire binding the rubber cushion in its support, and Fig. 4C a section on the line X X of Fig. 2.
,In carrying out the invention I provide a flat plate (Z, curved to the desired shape, on which are formed, preferably integral therewith, the depending front and rear flanges f and 0, extending around the shoe. The front flange f slants downwardly on a forward incline from the plate d, and the rear flange 6 curves inwardly from its point of connection with the plate d to its lower extremity e, which is preferably some little distance beyond the lower edge of the flange f, as clearly shown in Fig. 4. It will be observed that by this construction the rubber cushion 0 when inserted will fit snugly in the groove formed longitudinally around the shoe by the depending flanges e and f, the point e of the flange a pressing tightly against the rubber cushion. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the depending flange f is cut away, as at b, which enables the nails 8 to be driven in the horses hoof (designated at a) without passing through the rubber cushion 0, and hence to more securely fasten the shoe to the foot. The plate d is also provided on its rear ends with the enlarged downwardly-projecting portions m, each having the cylindrical recess m out in the rear face thereof for the reception of a round nut it, provided with a squared reduced head /L- and the depression a, forming a continuation of a slot 71 passing through the nut and reduced head. When the nut is inserted in the recess on", this slot h is adapted to aline with an aperture running longitudinally within the rubber cushion 0. Within this aperture in the cushion is adapted to be inserted the binding-wire g, the ends of which project into the recesses m and extend through the aperture k in the nut, and when the wire g has been drawn taut, securely binding the cushion in place, the free ends of the wire are riveted in the countersunk recess a. I prefer, however, as shown in the drawings, to have the aperture 72 internally screw -threaded to engage the corresponding screw-threads on the ends of the bindingwire, and by this method the squared heads h of the nut will enable a wrench or key to be applied to tighten up the binding-wire, and after it has been drawn suificientl y taut the extending ends of the binding-wire may be clipped off and riveted down in the countersunk recesses 11, as heretofore, thus securely locking the parts together.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is In a horseshoe, the combination 'with a flat base-plate having outer and inner depending flanges formed integral therewith and forming a channel extending longitudinally around the same, of a resilientcushion adapted to fit within said channel, an enlarged depending portion at the ends of said plate, circular recesses formed in said enlarged rear portions, circular nuts having reduced heads adapted to rest in said recesses, acentral screw-threaded aperture through said nuts and heads, a binding-wire passing longitudinally through said cushion and having screw-threaded ends to engage said nuts, and a recess in said reduced heads, wherein the ends of said wire may be riveted and countersunk for locking the parts securely together.
In testimony whereof I aflix'my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM EDWARD SANDIFER.
