Definitions

  • the present finding refers to a shoeing element for equines and to a process for its application.
  • shoes of the front legs have fairly similar longitudinal and transversal diameters with the longitudinal diameter slightly longer than the transversal diameter.
  • the shoes of the back legs have substantially larger longitudinal diameters due to the different shape of the front and back feet of equines.
  • the outer branch is generally longer and can also have a slightly greater width.
  • the width of the shoe is known as "binda" and at the level of the face that comes into contact with the ground and in a position slightly towards the outside there is the groove inside of which there are the holes, the nail holes, in which the heads of the nails shall be housed.
  • the nails that are used to fix the shoes to the hoof have a trapezium-shaped section.
  • This particular configuration is due to the fact that it allows the nail itself to come out towards the outer side of the wall whilst it is embedded.
  • Yet another purpose of the finding is to make a shoeing element and a process for its application that are extremely quick and certainly simpler to be carried out with respect to those with conventional shoes.
  • Yet another purpose of the finding is to make a shoeing element that has a low weight that is less than all known types of shoes, and allows the vibrations and knocks during the movement of the equine, due to the unevenness and the hardness of the ground on which it moves, to be dampened.
  • a further purpose of the finding is to make a shoeing element that has excellent adherence on any type of ground, thus allowing the equine to have substantial stability and safety of behaviour during movement .
  • Another purpose of the finding is to make a shoeing element for equines and a process for its application that allow optimal anchoring of the shoe to the hoof and low consumption of the shoe.
  • Another purpose of the finding is to make a shoeing element for equines and a process for its application that, not using nails for the connection to the animal's foot, does not take into account the pre-existing journeys in the equine' s hoof that continually modify their positioning due to the growth of the animal's nail, forcing shoeing to be carried out even very frequently.
  • Also forming the object of the present patent is a process for the application of a shoeing element onto the feet of an equine, characterised in that it consists of at least a first bending step of tabs along a first bending line to create an angle of about 90° between said tabs and the main plane of said shoeing element, a second bending step of said tabs along a second bending line to adapt said tabs to the shape of the foot of said equine, and a third gluing step carried out by distributing a glue according to the predetermined ways on the surfaces of said shoeing element and of said tabs facing towards the foot of said equine exerting a suitable pressure until a predetermined adhesion force is reached.
  • figure 1 is a plan view from above of the shoeing element according to a first embodiment of the finding
  • figure 2 is a plan view from below of the shoeing element of figure 1
  • figure 3 is a perspective view of the second body part of the shoeing element of figure 1
  • figure 4 is a top side section view of the shoeing element according to a second preferred embodiment of the finding, in which the recesses for the arrangement in plane of the thin elements are not present, at the exit from the cast
  • figure 5 is a top side section view of the shoeing element of figure 4 in the first preparatory application step to the foot of the equine
  • figure 6 is a top side section view of the shoeing element of figure 4 in the second application step to the foot of the equine
  • figure 7 is a top side section view of the shoeing element of figure
  • shoeing element is wholly indicated with reference numeral 1.
  • the upper surface of the second body part 4 has a hollow 9 in which the first body part 2 is housed with the surface 3 only slightly raised with respect to the side edges of the hollow 9.
  • the first body part 2 is made from softer and more elastic plastic material than the second body part 4, and has connection members 6 with the foot of the equine through a glue.
  • the shoeing element 1 also has rigidifying means 7 of the connection members 6, able to be deformed to shape them to the foot of the equine in the sticking step of the glue.
  • the surface 3 facing towards the equine' s foot being made from softer and more elastic plastic material than the plastic material of the surface 5 suitable for making contact with the ground, can thus adapt to possible roughness and undulations of the of the surface of the equine' s hoof thus equally allowing optimal adhesion carried out by the glue.
  • the glue that is used can carry out its adhesion characteristics in an optimal manner and is not subject to quick shocks that would tend to make the shoeing element break and thus detach from the equine's hoof.
  • connection members 6 comprise tabs 8 suitable for engaging with the wall of the equine's foot.
  • the tabs 8 have a different height and in particular the side ones have a slightly tapered configuration.
  • the tabs 8 are preferably made in a single piece with the first body part 2.
  • a number of tabs 8 greater than or equal to five has proven particularly advisable for application.
  • the rigidifying elements 7 comprise thin elements 10 associated with corresponding tabs 8, and each thin element 10 has a rigidifying portion 11 at least partially incorporated in the material of the corresponding tab 8 and a support portion 12 of the rigidifying portion 11 at least partially incorporated in the material of the first body part 2.
  • each thin element 10 must be inside the surface of the tab 8 facing towards the equine's foot.
  • each thin element 10 has at least one through hole 24 through which buttons with many spikes 25 for holding the tab 8 on the wall of the equine' s foot can be introduced.
  • Each thin element 10 has at least one first bending line 13 to achieve the lifting of the tab 8 with respect to the first body part 2 and a second bending line 14 substantially parallel to the first bending line 13 to achieve the adaptation of the tab 8 to the wall of the equine's foot.
  • each thin element 10 has a first and second draft lightening 15 and 16 at the first and second bending line 13 and 14.
  • the thin element 10 can advantageously be in the form of a metal plate or a metal mesh.
  • a first impression 17 for housing a longitudinal rigidifying element 18 of the shoeing element 1 is formed in the hollow 9.
  • Second impressions 19 for housing the support portions 12 of the thin elements 10 are also formed in the hollow 9.
  • the support portions 12 are substantially T-shaped so as not to allow sideways withdrawal from the relative impressions 19.
  • the impressions 19 have a greater depth than the first impressions 17 to position the support portions 12 of the thin elements 10 below the longitudinal rigidifying element 18.
  • both the support portions 12 of the thin elements 10 and the longitudinal rigidifying element 18 are embedded in the material of the first body part 2.
  • the base of the second impressions 19 has a through hole 26 aligned with a through hole 27 of the support portion 12 of the thin elements 10, through which through holes 26 and 27 a vertical attachment screw 28 can be introduced suitable for perforating and poking out from the material of the first body part 2 to stick into the equine's foot.
  • the outer side surface 20 of the second body part 4 can have recesses 21 for the arrangement in plane of the thin elements 10, as illustrated with reference to the embodiment of figures 1 and 3.
  • the outer side surface 20 of the second body part 4 has, on the sides of the tabs 8, projecting zones 41 for protecting the tabs 8.
  • the inner side surface 22 of the second body part 4 has discharges 23 to'make it easier to move the inner and outer branch of the shoeing element in a coplanar manner.
  • the surface 5 of the second body part 4 suitable for making contact with the ground has at least one groove 29 to increase the specific contact pressure thus improving grip in the case of wet ground and/or grass .
  • the process for the application of the shoeing element 1 consists of at least a first bending step of the tabs 8 along the first bending line to create an angle of about 90° between the tabs 8 and the main plane of the shoeing element 1, a second bending step of the tabs 8 along the second bending line to adapt them to the shape of the equine's foot, and a third gluing step carried out by distributing the glue according to the predetermined ways on the surfaces of the shoeing element 1 and of the tabs 8 facing towards the foot of the equine exerting a suitable pressure until a predetermined adhesion force is reached.
  • the process with which the shoeing element is applied has a preliminary operation consisting of properly- cleaning the equine' s foot in question, for example and above all a horse's foot, and slightly rounding the lower edge of the hoof if it has small chips.
  • the shoeing element 1 is placed on the cleaned surface of the foot and one proceeds to adjust the "binda" or width of the shoeing element thanks to the discharges 23.
  • the shoeing element 1 is then removed from the animal's foot to distribute the glue on the surfaces of the first body part 2 and of the tabs 8 facing towards the animal's foot.
  • the shoeing element 1 is then reapplied to the hoof. More specifically, the tabs 8 are bent firstly vertically along the first bending line 13, whereas the button with many spikes 25 is positioned through the relative hole 24 in a position such as not to project from the surface of the tabs 8 facing towards the hoof, just as the nails 28 are positioned through the relative holes 26, 27 in a position such as to not project from the surface of the first body part 2 facing towards the hoof.
  • the tabs 8 are adapted to the shape of the hoof bending it along the second bending line 14, whereas the buttons 25 and the nails 28 are embedded in the hoof.
  • buttons 25 in particular contribute to making the tabs 8 stick to the hoof during the glue hardening step.
  • the tip of the nails 28 penetrates only for a few millimetres vertically into the hoof remaining well away from the live part of the foot.
  • the presence of the nails 28 is also preferable but optional, the anchoring of the shoeing element 1 to the hoof being ensured mainly by the glue .
  • the structure is consolidated fixing the cross member 31 in the relative slit, and it is possible to also make the weight of the equine rest upon the shoeing element until the adhesion is complete.
  • an excellent glue is cyanacrylate-based, which is sold commercially with the name Loctite, but this does not rule out any other glue with similar characteristics being able to be suitably used.
