DESIGN FOR A HORSESHOE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 23,661, dated September 25, 1894.

Application filed August 11, 1894- Serial No. 520,085. Term of patent 14 years.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB O. VVISWELL, of Medford, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Design for Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.

The leading characteristics of this design are a horse-shoe of oval shape provided with a series of depending toe calks extending on different angles and their enter sides curving back, while their inner sides are straight, and side toe calks of similar form extending longitudinally along the side of the shoe, and hence at an angle to the toe calks.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the design, and form part of this specification.

0t said drawings,-Figure 1 shows a bottom plan View of the shoe. Fig. 2 shows a. side elevation. Fig. 3 shows a front elevation.

The letter adesignates the web of the shoe; b b calks standing out from the bottom surface of the web at the toe and extending from near the center of the web outward and backward in diverse directions. The front sides I) of said calks are rounded back from the edge of the web, whereas the inner sides b are straight and extend approximately at right angles to the general plane of the web. The confronting end faces 1;" of' these toecalks are angular, and diverge, as best seen in Fig. 3.

The letters a c designate oalks which are located at opposite sides of the shoe and are of similar shape to the toe-calks. These sidecalks extend longitudinally, and have position nearer the heel than the toe of the shoe. IIeel-calks d are also provided at the ends of the web, these heel-calks being tapered and their edges d extending transversely. Itis to be observed that the outer edges presented by the ditferent calks extend on various angles.

What I claim as my invention is- The design for a horse-shoe substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 3d day of August, A. D. 1894.
