SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters-Patent No. 602,387, dated April 12, 1898. Application filed April'ZS, 1897. Renewed March 21, 1898. Serial No. 674,692. (No model.)
To all whom, 7225. may concern:
Beit known that I, PETER KRUMscHEID, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes, of which the following is a speciication.
My invention relates to new and useful improvements in horseshoes; and'it has for its object to construct a horseshoe of two sections, one, of metal, adapted to be attached to the hoof, and the other section removably attached to the metal section and of an elastic yielding substance, which when worn out or destroyed can be removed without disturbing the metal section and replaced by another section of like material and shape, and thus forms a detachable sole for the horseshoe.
My invention consists of certain novel features hereinafter described, and particularly Y pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a construction embodying my invention, Figure l is a perspective view o'f the skeleton frame of said horseshoe,taken from the under side and with the elastic or yielding section omitted. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of my improved horseshoe when completed and taken from the under side and partly broken away to show the interior construction. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on the line x x, Fig. 2. Fig. et is a detail sectionalview, takenA at the front end of the horseshoe, on the linek as as', Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view on the line 002 x2 of Fig. l looking in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts throughout the several views.
My improved horseshoe A consists of a skeleton frame A', made of suitable metal to give strength, and is provided with a recess A2` from one end of the horseshoe to the other on the under side and with holes A2, through which nails are driven to secure said metal frameA to the hoof of the horse. Said frame A is also provided with a `suitable toe calk or flange B and heel calks or flanges O, which extend inwardly over the Arecess A2 for a purpose hereinafter described. Within the recess A2 there is adapted to be placed the removable section D, which forms a detachable sole and which, as shown in the drawings, consists, preferably, of a section D', of rubber, inclosing a ilat spring D2, and on the top of said section D there is secured by cement the rubber section-E, and on the top of said rubber section E there is secured by cement another rubbersection E'; but of course it will be readilyunderstood that the section D could be constructed of one piece of rubber, in'which the flat metal spring D2 would be in the lower part, as shown in the drawings, and Within the recess A27 so as to be under the toe and heel calks or ianges B and C. These metal springs D2 are stamped out of spring metal for the various sizes of horseshoes and, being of yielding material, can be sprung slightly to t any desired size of horseshoe which varies from the standard sizes. These iiatv metal springs D2 are covered with soft rubber, which is placed in molds and then cured under pressure, and, as shown, additional sections E and E may be secured thereto by cement. After being prepared in this manner the ends of the section D are slipped under the calks or lianges O, and by slightly bending said section D to cause the spring D2 and the rubber surrounding the same to yield the recess D3 in the front end of said section D is sprung into the calk or iiange B, so that the entire section or detachable sole D is firmly held in place. W'hen said section D is worn out, it is only necessary to remove it from beneath the calks or flanges-B and O and to snap in the recess A2 a new section of lelastic or yielding material similar to the section removed. Y c,
By this construction I have provided a horseshoe consisting of a metal frame attached to the hoof of the horse and a removable section forming a detachable sole, of elastic or yielding substance, which whenworn out can ,easily be :removed and replaced by a similar section without disturbingthe metal section attached to the hoof of the horse.
Iam aware that` it is notnew to construct a horseshoe of metal and rubber; but in all said horseshoes of which I am aware the rubber section has been non-'removable from the metal section, and when the rubber has been worn out it has been necessary to remove the entire shoe and replace the same by a new IOO shoe, whereas in my device it is unnecessary l to remove the metal skeleton frame when the rubber section is worn out; but it is simply necessary to remove the Worn-out section and replace it by a newr section.
The detachable sole D may be rubber vulcanized in layers, as shown, one or more of which layers may be harder than the others, or rubber may be used in combination with other materialsas leather, fiber, or fabricsand, further, instead of the fiat metal spring D2 one or more wire springs may be used for the same purpose. If desired, additional inwardly-turned flanges may be used with the flanges B and C to hold the detachable sole D in its position Within the skeleton frame A of the horseshoe.
I do not limit myself to the arrangement and construction shown, as the saine may be varied Without departing from the spirit of my invention.
IIavin g thus described the nature of my invention and set forth a construction embody- States, is-
1. In a horseshoe, a section adapted to be y attached to the hoof, a detachable section consisting of a spring and a yielding substance inclosin g said spring and adapted to be sprung into place on the attached section, and means on the attached section for holding the detachable section in place.
2. In a horseshoe, a section adapted to be attached to the hoof and provided with a recess on its under side, a detachable section consisting of a spring and ayieldin g substance inclosing said sprin g and adapted to be sprung into place on the attached section in said rccess, and inwardly-turned flanges on the attached section for holding the detachable section in place in said recess.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of tWo subscribing Witnesses, this 21st day of April, A. D. 1897.
PETER KRUMSCIIEID.
