Definitions

  • the invention relates to a nail for a horseshoe, the nail comprising an elongated shank having an expanded head at one end.
  • horseshoe nails As the horse wears its shoes, not only the horseshoe, but also its fastening means, i.e. the horseshoe nails, wear down. When the nail heads are worn out the horseshoe comes off. In practice, horseshoes have to be replaced at about six weeks intervals on the average, in some cases even more often.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a horseshoe nail of a new type.
  • the nail in accordance with the invention is characterised by the fact that the nail head is equipped with a hard-metal stud, i.e. an anti-skid stud.
  • One embodiment of the invention is characterised by the fact that the hard-metal stud is conical and has been fastened to the nail head by the cone pressing method.
  • a second embodiment of the invention is characterised by the fact that the hard- metal stud has been fastened to the nail head by means of a medium such as glue or by a solder joint.
  • a third meboidment of the invention is characterised by the fact that the hard-metal stud protrudes approximately 0.5 to 0.7 mm from the nail head.
  • the nail of the invention provides a most effective anti-skid means under slippery road conditions.
  • the nail slows down wear and provides a substantial increase in the wear resistance of both the nail and the horseshoe.
  • figure 1 shows the horseshoe nail and figure 2 shows the nail head in partial section.
  • the nail comprises a longitudinal nail shank 1 having a conically expanding head 2 at one end.
  • the horseshoe has a matching conical recess into which the conical head portion engages.
  • the head part 2 is equipped with a hard-metal stud 3, i.e. an anti-skid stud.
  • the hard-metal stud 3 is conical ⁇ and it has been fastened to the head portion by the cone pressing method.
  • Empirical tests have proved that the hard-metal stud 3 is not detached, but instead, it is pressed into better and firmer contact with the head portion 2 of the nail 1 under the forces caused by the horse trotting or galloping.
  • the hard-metal nail does not necessarily have to be made literally of "a metal”, but it can equally well be made of any other material with similar abrasion characteristics.
  • hard ceramic materials or pieces pressed from various powders or powder combinations which have high wear resistance and are suitable for the present invention.
