Definitions
- the invention relates to a horseshoe with a stop side, in particular for shoeing horse's hooves, with nail holes and a U-shaped plastic body with a tread, and with studs provided near its thigh ends, which protrude from the tread.
- the historical horseshoes to protect the hoof of draft animals in the shape of a crescent moon which are designed, for example, as folding irons or stamping irons, as cleats or finger irons with fixed, screwed or inserted studs, are increasingly being replaced by plastic hoof fittings, as these also reduce the risk of injury bring with it like losing weight.
- the farrier's work on metallic horseshoes is relatively complex.
- the elastic plastic horseshoe, which are also on the market in the form of horseshoes, have the major disadvantage that they are often pushed out of their position due to the thrust forces acting on them and, moreover, they wear out quickly.
- the developments of plastic horseshoes have not led to a useful result, which is why the inventor has set itself the goal of improving a horseshoe of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that an elastic, wear-resistant detachable product adheres to a solid surface, whose plastic body is also wear-resistant and gentle on the joints and muscles on hard surfaces and can also be adapted to different hoof sizes.
- the horseshoe according to the invention is to be applied using a technique which - while avoiding the usual iron glow - comes close to the conventional activity of the farrier.
- the plastic body is permanently fixed to a metal plate corresponding to the floor plan, the nail holes of both layers of the horseshoe designed according to the invention as a composite element swear.
- the plastic body should be made of an elastic connection with high abrasion resistance and permanently glued to the metal plate or connected by a transfer process, preferably as part of a vulcanization process.
- the plastic body is sprayed onto a metal plate facing the stop side and corresponding to the floor plan;
- the plastic body is preferably made of elastomeric compounds with high abrasion resistance using rubber, whereas the metal plate is preferably made of light metal by means of die casting.
- this connecting element still allows the nailing and thus the skilled work of the blacksmith in the old, tried-and-tested form, without - as already indicated - requiring heating to adapt; the adaptation of the hoof fitting according to the hoof size is achieved in that the metal plate is provided with edge slots extending from its inner edge; a part of the plastic or base body sits in this - increasing the bond inside - like a pin, without the deformability of the horseshoe being impaired thereby - the plastic pins in the marginal slots give in to a sufficient extent.
- the edge slot has a wedge-shaped or arrow-tip-like recess in the metal plate and preferably from the inner edge to approximately the middle of the cross-sectional width of the metal plate.
- the adjustment is made by changing the curvature of the horseshoe shape, so that the edge slots are preferably placed in the front region of the metal plate and symmetrical to its center axis - forming an axis of symmetry.
- metal plates separated from steel sheet, into which the nail holes have been punched in one operation or die-cast metal plates made of light metal, which offer the advantage of low weight.
- These metal plates are provided with the stop tongues or toe directions known from conventional horseshoes.
- it is also conceivable to manufacture the metal plate by cutting an extruded profile, which already contains the nail holes as channels, into slices.
- the metal plate is made from a hollow profile; after cutting to length, the corresponding piece of pipe is bent into the desired horseshoe shape and then flattened; then the necessary nail holes are punched in, whereby the vulcanization process is carried out.
- the metal plate receives the studs already mentioned, for which purpose recesses are used, which in turn are equipped with a plastic threaded bushing; the metal plate, which is usually only 1 to 1.5 mm thick, is itself not able to provide a sufficient thread length for a screw bolt. If the metal plate itself is to hold the screw bolt, collar-like passages are formed from it and provided with an internal thread; these passages also form pins which protrude into the base body. In particular in the stamped and die-cast embodiment of the metal plate, funnel-like formations can be present, in the center of which one of the nail holes is provided and which represent additional retentions for the connection process with the plastic or base body with an enlarged metal surface.
- the thread bushing made of plastic for the stud also serves as an additional connecting element between the metal plate and base body.
- the invention also relates to a metal plate which is produced by flattening a tubular profile made of steel or aluminum to form a plate and thus offers particularly favorable strength properties despite simple manufacture.
- the sound surface of the base body is provided with profile shapes or stud ribs running transversely to its central axis, or with knobs designed like nail heads. It has proven to be advantageous to arrange the nail holes between the profile recesses or the knobs - that is, in valleys of the tread. This requirement serves to increase the running quality, since protruding nail heads would reduce the advantages of the elastic horseshoe.
- the subject matter of the invention differs considerably from conventional plastic horseshoes, from which nail heads protrude as studs. Because of the improved running properties, the studs themselves should also be covered with a plastic layer according to the invention or molded out of the pockel body.
- an attachment molded onto the plastic or plastic body, which is connected to the plastic body by a narrow neck as a set point of rotation or joint strip and lies within the free horseshoe surface, ie within the inner edge of the metal plate;
- This flexible - and preferably hose-like - approach it is possible to keep dirt or snow accumulations away from the hoof sole and hoof beam.
- Loose rubber inserts which want to help prevent the formation of snow and ice lumps on the horse's hoof by means of a bead-like formation, are known per se.
- An insert of this type is now molded in one piece directly to the plastic body within the scope of the subject matter of the invention, which makes it possible to dispense with separate inserts and to offer a uniform hoof "iron”.
- the horseshoe according to the invention is low-wear and non-slip thanks to the material mentioned and the profile described.
- the horseshoe can be used on road surfaces as well as on lawn, sand and leaf paths.
- Another advantage is the low weight, which offers advantages for both races and show jumping.
- the risk of injury to the animal itself in the box is reduced on the one hand and in humans on the other.
- metal pins of high strength in particular hard metal pins, are used as retention elements in the plastic body. These hard metal pins are shot into the plastic body and then rest in it, ie the elastic plastic body surrounds a foot end and a guide bushing, in which the hard metal pin is inserted.
- these hard metal pins are only housed in the rubber layer and are therefore spring-loaded; Bruises, which can be caused by well-known studs, are thus prevented.
- the composite element according to the invention helps to protect the joint and muscles on hard surfaces.
- hard metal pins according to the invention Another advantage of the hard metal pins according to the invention is that they can be removed from the horseshoe if necessary.
- Fig. 1 the top view of the stop or top of a horseshoe
- FIG. 2 the cross section enlarged compared to FIG. 1 according to the curved section line II - II through several nail holes provided in the horseshoe for hoof nails;
- FIG. 5 the cross section corresponding to that of FIG. 3 to another exemplary embodiment
- FIG. 6 shows a section through an embodiment of a nail hole
- FIG. 9 partial top views of another stop side (right) and onto a running surface (left) of a horseshoe;
- FIG. 10 an enlarged detail of FIG. 9, cut along the section line X - X;
- FIG. 12 the cross section through FIG. 11 along the section line XII - XII;

- FIG. 15 a partial side view in the direction of arrow V of FIG. 14 and enlarged reproduction compared to this;
- a horseshoe 10 has a metal plate 12 which offers its stop or upper side 11 and which carries a base body 13 made of plastic.
- the latter preferably consists of elastomer compounds using rubber, as is known for example for the production of car tires; such a plastic offers the greatest abrasion resistance and thus a long service life and is an elastic, wear-resistant member adhering to a solid surface and connected to the metal plate 12 by means of adhesive cement or vulcanized onto it.
- the metal plate 12 consists of a stamped sheet metal part or of low-weight die-cast aluminum.
- the metal plate 12 of an example thickness a of 1 to 1.5 mm determines with its outer edge 14 and its inner edge 15 the shape of the horseshoe 10, which in the usual way through a center line M for partial radii r 1 , r 2 in an end section B 1 and End sections B 2 is divided; the distance i of each center line M from the iron ends 16 is 51 mm in the selected exemplary embodiment, the total length e of the horseshoe 10 hereinafter referred to as horseshoe here 125 mm and its width n z. B. 120 mm.
- a stop tongue 17 on both sides of the axis of symmetry A which is integral with the metal plate 12 and is bent around its outer edge 14 at right angles to the upper side 11; the part-circle-like free edge of the stop tongue 17 is shown in FIG. 2.
- edge slits 23 provided in the metal plate 12 can be seen in FIG. 1, which start from the inner edge 15 and are described in more detail below in relation to FIG. 6.
- These edge slots 23 are filled with the material of the base body 13 at 24 and thus contribute significantly to the internal bond between the two composite materials; in addition - despite the elastic material taken up - they allow a change in shape of the metal plate 12 to adapt to the respective horse's hoof.
- a center distance t of, for example 14 mm from the end iron 16 is in the end portion B 2 a bore 26 of a diameter d of z. B. 10 mm provided in which a threaded bushing 27 made of plastic with a polygonal nut collar 28 is seated. in the Internal thread of the threaded bushing 27 fixes the screw shaft 29 of a stud 30.
- a collar-like passage is formed from the metal plate 12, which thread - provided with an internal thread - represents the threaded bushing. In its outer shape it corresponds approximately to the collar 37 illustrated in FIG. 6, which there encircles the head of a horseshoe nail 25 and projects into the base body 13 like a pin.
- Fig. 4 shows a cap screw 32 with a jacket 33 made of plastic for the threaded sleeve 27 again.
- FIG. 5 illustrates that flat screws 31, which close the base body 13 on its running surface 40, can optionally be inserted into that threaded bushing 27.
- 2.6 and 7 show different profiles of the tread 40 offered by the base body 13 with a wave-like or crenellated cross-section.
- an elastic insert for orthopedic purposes is indicated, which can also be designed as an inflatable sleeve.
- Fig. 8 illustrates a special embodiment of a metal plate 12 r , which is made of a hollow profile; A piece is cut to length from a preferably extruded tubular profile, bent into a horseshoe shape - in plan view - and then flattened. After the insertion of the nail holes 21, the base body 13 is vulcanized.
- six edge slots 23 are provided in the shape of arrowheads in each of the symmetrical horseshoe halves, as well as a further one, which falls into the axis of symmetry A.
- edge slots 23 can be seen in each case, which - with an opening angle w of 20 - extend approximately to the center of the width c of, for example, 17 mm of the metal plate 12.
- the dimension of the arc distances d of these edge slots 23 from one another and from the axis of symmetry A can be seen, for example, from FIG. 9, which in connection with FIG. 10 also shows a stud 30 a riveted to the metal plate 12.
- the bore diameter d for the rivet 35 is only 6 mm.
- FIG. 9 offers a view of the running surface 40 of the base body 13 with the stud ribs 41 formed from that.
- Their height k here is 4 mm
- the height h of the horseshoe 10 overall is about 14 mm
- the distance f between the top 11 and the stud face 34 is preferably 24 mm.
- the cleat ribs 41 run at average distances g of 12 mm at right angles to the axis of symmetry A and form a longitudinal horseshoe cut, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
- a tube extension 43 is formed on the axis of symmetry A, the inner edge 45 of which is determined by partial radii, for example partial radius r 5 according to FIG. 11.
- the end edges 46 of the hose extension 43 starting from the iron ends 16 form an angle z of z with the axis of symmetry A
- the tube attachment 43 which tapers towards the bottom (angle s in FIG. 13), contains a tube space 47 with a diameter q of, for example, 7 mm and an attachment height u of 12 mm.
- the hose extension 43 is connected to the base body 13 only by a thin neck 48 (FIG. 12) above a groove 49 in order to keep the hose extension 43 movable; this neck 48 represents a joint around which the hose extension 43 can be pivoted to a limited extent.
- the hose extension 43 is inside the horseshoe 10 a , but outside the rigid horseshoe shape thanks to the metal plate 12.
- a running surface 40 with knobs 51 of a height y can be seen, the latter corresponding to the thickness a of the metal plate 12 and being sufficient to give the horse's hoof the desired hold on the To give reason.
- the horseshoe 10 b according to Fig. 14 has a stop or the top 11 supplying metal plate 12 which carries a base body 13 made of sprayed-on plastic.
- the latter consists of elastomer compounds using rubber.
- punch holes 21 can be seen in the metal plate 12, which continue in the base body 13 as recesses 22 which widen in this and each receive a hoof nail when shoeing a horse's hoof not shown in the drawing for reasons of clarity.
- Grooves 31 are formed approximately radially to the curvature of the iron in the tread 13 to produce studs 30.
- the hard metal pins 62 are shot into the sprayed-on base part 13 and give the hoof of an animal a hold, especially on black ice. After the ice period, the hard metal pins 62 can be pulled with their guide bushes 64.
- the hard metal pins 62 are only housed in the sock plate 13 or the rubber layer and are therefore resiliently mounted in the Elstomer layer - bruises that occur with studs can be prevented here.
- a chmal rubber lip 50 can also be seen, which prevents snow and ice build-up on the inside of the hoof by ejecting amounts accumulating there by movement.
