PETER J. SGHILD, FRANK L, SOHILD, AND CHARLES C. SOHILD, OF IONIA,
MICHIGAN.
HOOF-BOOT FOR HORSES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 392,291, dated November 6, 1888. Application filed August 16 1888. Serial No. 282,866. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, PETER' J. SoHILD, FRANK L. Serum), and CHARLES C. SoHILD, citizens of the United States, residing at Ionia, in the county of Ionia and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hoof-Boots for Horses, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in hoof-boots for horses, such as are used when treating thehoof to soften or medicate the same and it consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter described, illustrated in the drawings, and pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a horse-boot embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view.
Referring to the drawings by letter, A designates the sheet-metal casing of the boot, having a similar shape to the hoof, and sufficicntly larger than the same to permit the sponge pad B to be secured within the casing by wires, threads, or other usual and ordinary means.
0 is an inwardly-curved metal strap extending across the toe portion of the casing A and provided with the upwardly extending arms 0, through openings in which it is secured to the said casing.
D D are loops formed on the wires d at the ends of the casing, the said wires being wrapped in the bent and beaded edges of said casing A.
.E is a strap riveted or otherwise secured to one side of the casing, and with its perforated free end engaged by a buckle, e, fixed upon a strap, 6', that is similarly secured to the opposite end of the casing. By means of the strap E and buckle e the casing,with its sponge pad, can be bound tightly on the horses foot.
F is a pad having a leather base, f, and a sponge lining, f, secured to its inner side. The said pad has a longitudinal loop, fflthat rides on the strap E, and its front end rests upon the metal strap 0 about centrally, and is provided with a plate projecti0n,G, riveted between the leather and sponge, andstanding out thence between the horseshoe and lower surface of the hoof.
H is a strap riveted at its end to one side of the casing, and having its perforated free end engaged by a buckle, h, on a strap, h, secured to the opposite side of the casing.
I is a rubber tube surrounding the strap H, and bearing between the fetlock and heel of the horse when the hoof-boot is in place.
The boot is strapped on the foot or hoof and used as indicated when necessary, the moisture and heat being retained by the sponge pads.
The purpose of the plate projection G is to engage between the horseshoe and the bottom of the hoof and hold the pad in place and prevent it dropping down. The curved strap 0 has this function alsoviz., to uphold the pad and keep it in place close to the bottom of the horses hoof.
The present invention is intendedas an improvement upon our Letters Patent issued August 21, 1888.
In practice it has been found desirable to secure the sponge to the pad by metal keepers instead of stitching.
Having described our iuvention,we claim- 1. In a horse-boot, the combination of the metallic sponge-lined casing, the metallic toestrap secured to the lower edge thereof, the strap E, connecting the rear ends of said casing, and the sponge-lined pad attached to said strap, and with its horizontal portion resting on the metallic toe strap, substantially as specified.
2. In a horse-boot, the combination of the metallic sponge-lined casing, the metallic toestrap, the leather strap connecting the ends of the casing, the sponge-lined pad attached to said leather strap, and with its horizontal portion resting on the metallic toe-strap, and the projection G, standing outward from said pad between the hoof and horseshoe, substantially as specified.
3. The combination of the metallic spongelined casing, the strap connecting the ends of the same, the metallic toe-strap, the spongelined pad attached to the strap connecting the end of the casing,the strap H, and the rubber tube I, surrounding said strap and being between the heel and fctlock of the horse when the boot is in position, substantially as specified.
4. In ahorse-boot, the combination of the metallic sponge-lined casing, the leather strap Ice 1 In testimony that we claim the foregoing as 1 our own we have hereto affixed our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
