HOOF-PAD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 356,294, dated January 18, 1887.
Application filed October 12, 1886./
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT SHIERs, of Harmar, in the county of W'ashington and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hoof-Pads; and I do hereby declare the following to be atull, clear, and eX- act description of the invention, such as willl enable Others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in horseshoe-pads; and .it consists in the combination, with a horseshoe, of a metallic support for the pad, the support being provided with a screw-threaded prong at its front end to receive a nut or other similar device, and with a point or projection to catch over the opposite edge ofthe shoe, and thus hold the metallic support in position, as will be more fully described hereinafter.
The object of my invention is to provide a means for att-aching pads readily and quickly to the shoe while upon the horses foot, and to make the pad detachable at any time from the foot.
Figure l represents a vertical section of a pad,sho\vingit attached to a horses shoe. Fig. 2 is a similar view of slightly different construction. Fig. 3 is a detail.
A represents a horseshoe of ordinary construction. Where this shoe is provided with calks, as shown in Fig. 1, an opening is made horizontally through the calk just at itsjunction with the shoe,and then the screw-threaded prongGof t-he pad-supportDis passed through this opening, as shown, so as to receive a clamping nut, leyer, or other holding device, F. Where the screw-threaded prong of the support passes underneath the shoe, the turnedover point, catch, or projection H, which forms a partof the support, then catches over the rear edge of the shoe, as shown. Vhen the holding device F is tightened in position, the shoe is rigidly clamped between the catch Hv and the device F, as shown, whereby the support I) for the pad is supported rigidly in position so as to bear against the frog.
The device F will consist of a short lever or piece which projects upward along the front of the foot a suitable distance and which has an opening through its upper end. Upon the serial Nn. 216,043. (Ndmofiei.)
vice F and the toe-weight rigidly in position. y i
This toe-weight will serve as'a counter-balance for the support which projects back between the heels of the shoe.
Where a shoe is to be used which has no ealks, it is recessed upon its top at Q, so as to allow the prong C of the support D to tit therein, and then the catch H is made to catch underneath the rear edge of the shoe instead of upon its top, as shown in Fig. l. A simple nut, O, may be used to clamp the support in position upon the shoe, if so desired, or where it is intended to use a toe-weight a device, F, similar to what is shown in Fig. 1, will loe used in place of the nut O. rIhe pad is applied directly to the rear end of the support, as shown, and will be made of any suitable material which is best adapted for the purpose.
The shank ofthe pad-support is curved upward, as shown, just in front of the frog, so as ,4
, the foot, to prevent it from dropping down ward, as is the case with heavy draft-horses. This support prevents horses from having what is termed dropped soles77 or dat foot.77
Having thus described my invention, I claiml. The combination of the horseshoe with a pad support provided with a screw-threaded prong, C, and a catch, H, and a clamping device for securing the support to the front of the shoe, substantially as shown.
2. The combination of a horseshoe or padsupport provided with the screw-prong or projection and the catch H with the clamping device F, which projects up in front of the horses foot and receives a toe-weight at its upper end, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I afx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ROBERT SHIERS.
