HORSESHOE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 23, 1920. Serial No. 368,036.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Mrrno lVirUsHEN, a citizen of Russia, residing at Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and btate ofWVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates toimprovements in horseshoes, and it has for an object to provide a horseshoe having a novel and simple arrangement of fastening means whereby it may be readily attached to a horses hoof without the use of nails, and which permits also the ready detachment thereof when desired for purposes of replacement or for other purposes.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
Figure l of the drawings is a side view of a horseshoe constructed according to my invention, showing the shoe in position on a horses hoof; and
Fig. 2 is a n underside plan view of the shoe alone, showing the attaching means swung back.
In the drawings the metal shoe proper is indicated by the reference numeral 10 and is of the usual shape as shown in Fig. 2, and is preferably provided on its underside with a toe calk 11, a pair of heel calks 12 and a pair of intermediate ealks 13. The toe calk is preferably of segmental shape with its front side flush with the outer edge of the shoe and its rear side extending as at 11' in a straight transverse line which is flush with the inner edge of the shoe at its center, the intermediate and rear calks being of the ordinary shape. The front edge of the shoe is formed with an upturned lip 15 whose rear wall may incline upwardly and backwardly so as to closely engage the hoof, indicated at 16, of the horse. The heel portions of the shoe, have also lips 17 projecting upwardly therefrom to engage the hoof at the rear thereof.
For engagement of the fastening means to the shoe the latter is formed with a series of laterally projecting integral hinge eyes comprising a front pair 18 and a rear pair 18, the front pair being disposed on the rounded forward part of the shoe a distance on opposite sides thereof, preferably adjacent the ends of the front calk 11, while the rear eyes are located a short distance in front of the heel Calks 12.
Attached to these hinge eyes by hinge pintles 20 are metallic hinge plates 21, these metallic'hinge plates having riveted thereto as at 22 the lower ends of short and wide straps 23, the disposition of the hinge eyes being such as to cause each strap to swing transversely to the adjacent portion of the hoof so that when swung upwardly and inwardly they lie against the hoof.
Stitched or otherwise secured to the outer ends of these wide straps 23 are relatively narrow straps 24 which extend transversely to the straps 23 and project at opposite ends laterally therefrom, each strap having a buckle 25 at one end and a row of holes 26 at its opposite end, the straps being so arranged as to have the buckle end of'each strap project toward the perforated end of the adjacent strap.
Secured by stitching or otherwise to the rear pair of the straps 23, adjacent the hinge plates 21, are supplementary straps 28 which project rearwardly, one of said straps carrying a buckle 29 and the other being formed with a row of perforations 30.
As is well known the hoof of a horse tapers from the sole upwardly and when. the shoe is fitted on the hoof and the wide straps 23 swung upwardly the transverse straps 24 will be in engagement with the smaller up per portion of the hoof, and when these straps are buckled tightly together around the hoof the shoe will be held firmly against downwardly displacement. The lips 15 and 17 in conjunction with the hinge plates 21, prevent lateral displacement of the shoe, the supplementary straps 28 serving to securely hold the inclined rear face of the front lip 15 in engagement with the adjacent surface of the hoof.
As will be apparent the shoe may be readily removed and replaced when worn or when the employment of the horse in different kinds of work or on different surfaces makes the changing of the shoe desirable.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is- 1. A horseshoe comprising a shoe proper, a front pair of straps and a rear pair of straps hinged to said shoe, and transversely extending straps carried by the said hinged Patented July 5, 1921.
. to .be joined end to end to completely en-' circle the hoof of the horse, and a supple-s straps,'said transverse straps being adapted inentary pair of straps secured'to the rear pair of the first-mentioned straps and adapted to .be passed around the rear of the hoof and joined together. I 2. A horseshoe comprising a shoe proper having upturned lips at front and rear signature.
a shoe proper.
having upturnedlips at front and rear r thereof, a front pair ofstraps and a' rear pair-of straps hinged'to said shoe, other straps secured between; their ends to the outer ends of said first straps and extending substantially at right angles thereto, said additional straps being adapted to bejoined of the firstinentio ned straps between the ends of the latter and adapted to be passed around the rear of the hoof and joined together.
25 7 end to end to completely enoirolethe hoof. V
of the horse, and a supplementary pair of I straps'secured at their ends to the rear pair 7 In testimony whereof I haye affiire d my 7 j MITRO; WlIUSHEN.
