Definitions
- the field of the invention is for an equine footwear. More specifically, the field of the invention is for an insole pad to be utilized by specific hoof boots.
- hoof boots which are temporarily strapped into place and which cover the sole of the hoof have become very popular in recent times as a healthier alternative to traditional nail on metal horse shoes.
- One popular type of hoof boot is configured with an open back design.
- the advantage to the open back design is the easy of attachment to the hoof of an animal.
- the open back design of the open back hoof boot also offers the advantage of minimizing the entrapment of debris within the interior of the hoof boot by providing an opening which allows for the passage and elimination of particulate and debris from the hoof boot.
- the boot configuration is not conducive to the elimination of debris and further often the boot traps the debris within the boot and causes further irritation and agitation of the debris onto the animal.
- This is in contrast to other boot configurations which have a base with upwardly turned walls in the rearmost portion of the boot which restricts and barricades the ejection of debris causing it to accumulate disadvantageous ⁇ . Said accumulation of debris can cause discomfort and or injury to the horse.
- hoof boots One popular accessory to hoof boots is an insole cushion which can be beneficial to the horse for reducing concussion and is also beneficial during the healing process of various hoof ailments such as laminitis, stone bruises, abscesses and the like.
- hoof boots designed with an open back do not provide for adequate retention of an insole cushion because the open back provides no obstacle or barrier to retain the pad within the confines of the hoof boot and the cushion can work its way out of the back of the boot requiring that insole cushions need to be bonded in place with adhesive and the like making changing of the cushion difficult for the end user. Therefore, a need exists for an improved hoof boot insole insert.
- the present invention provides an improved and unique cushion design which allows the user of the open backed hoof boot to easily install and remove insole pads as needed while at the same time preventing the escape of the pad out of the open back of the open portion of the hoof boot without the use or need for adhesive.
- lug lug
- knobs or hooks hereinafter called “lug” or “lugs”
- lug lug
- lugs are to be inserted into a complimentary socket, pocket, channel or loop and the like, hereinafter called “socket” or “sockets” which are formed or attached upon or into the insole surface of a hoof boot for the purpose of receiving the lugs incorporated into the cushion.
- Said protruding lugs may vary in shape and size but preferred embodiments will have an enlarged head, step or ridge so configured as to provide a "friction fit" or “snap action” fit when inserted into it's socket which provides the means for retention of the cushion within the confines of an open back hoof boot.
- Various shaped lugs are contemplated.
- Various materials for manufacturing the lugs and cushion are contemplated with elastomeric and foam materials preferred though many other materials may be suitable.
- the apparatus may also provide the added benefit of a close back hoof boot designs and is considered here.
- the apparatus may also be utilized to retain a replaceable "high friction" surface which interfaces with the hoof and is useful for the enhancement of hoof boot retention keeping the hoof boot properly affixed the hoof in wet and muddy conditions where moisture and mud can make the inside of the hoof boot slippery increasing the likelihood of the hoof boot twisting or moving relative to the hoof or departing from the hoof altogether.
- many additional uses for the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be utilized and may include, but is not limited to: the retention of a variety of hoof boot accessories such as, cushions, wedges, pads, gel pads, friction modifiers, therapeutic devices, medical devices and the like.

Abstract
L'invention porte sur une configuration de coussin améliorée et unique utilisée avec des bottes à sabot à arrière ouvert. L'appareil de coussin unique permet à l'utilisateur de la botte à sabot à arrière ouvert d'installer et de retirer facilement des tampons de semelle intérieure selon les besoins, tout en empêchant en même temps la sortie du tampon hors de l'arrière ouvert de la partie ouverte de la botte à sabot sans l'utilisation ni la nécessité d'un adhésif. En outre, le coussin peut utiliser une pluralité de pointes, de boutons ou de crochets, qui peuvent être insérés dans une chaussette, une poche, un canal ou une boucle complémentaire et analogues, qui sont formés ou attachés sur ou à l'intérieur de la surface de semelle intérieure d'une botte à sabot dans le but de recevoir les pointes incorporées dans le coussin.
