SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 656,144, dated. August 14, 1900.
Application filed March 30, 1899.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HARVEY D. PALMER, of Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and cheap cushioned, horseshoe from which the cushion can be removed and replaced easily and quickly by a stable-hand or other unskilled person without necessitating the removal of the shoe or affecting its attachment to the hoof. This I accomplish by the means hereinafter fully described and as particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan View of the under side of my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the cushion removed. Fig. 3 is a vertical section thereof, taken on dotted line 3 3, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the upper side of the same.
In the drawings, Arepresents a horseshoe which is L-shaped in cross-section and has a bead ct projecting inwardly from the lower edge of its vertically-disposed web b, which latter, as shown, defines and bounds the outer side of the shoe. Projecting to the rear from the inner edge of the horizontal portion of the toe is a pivotal lug B, and between the toe and the heels of the shoe the inner edge c of this horizontal portion,which comes next the hoof of the horse, is beveled or rabbeted, as shown. l
Pivoted, preferably, to the under side of the lug B by means of lugs or knuckles d d, proj ecting from their forward ends,are the clamping-arms D D. These clamps D are prefer-v ably L-shaped in cross-section, except near the toe, where their horizontal portions are cut away to accommodate and avoid interference with lug B. They conform in curvature to the inner edge of the quarters of the shoe,and when clamped in position their horizontal portions overlap and bear against the depressed inner edge c of the shoe and their vertical portions'face the vertical port-ion of the same and together therewith form a channel for the rubber cushion E. The lower edges of the vertical portions of the clamps D terminate on about the same horizontal plane as the similar edges of the shoe and are Serial No. 711,052. (No modell) provided with inwardly-projecting beads e e, which when in use bite into the cushion E.
The cushion E may consist of one continuous piece of rubber or other suitable material extending in the channel between the vertil cal portions of the shoe and clamps from heel to heel, as shown in Fig. 3, Vor may be made of two pieces, each one-half the length of the former. This cushion may be made of the commercial form of rubber noT used for wagon-wheel tires; but I prefer the shape shown in the drawings, in which it appears as gradually increasing in width as it extends from the heel to the toe of the shoe, at which point it attains its greatest width. In crosssection the contours of its vertical and under sides describe a U shape, and I prefer to make longitudinal grooves g g in its vertical sides, into which the beads a and e enter when it is clamped in place.
In order to secure the clamps in position to lock the cushion in place ready for use, I have provided one or more screws or bolts h h for each of the same, which extend laterally through the vertical portion of the shoe and the clamps. By tightening up these screws or bolts the shoes are ready for use.
The shoes are secured to the hoof by nails passing through the holes 7c 7c, similar to the common shoe, and it will be observed that in order to insert or remove the cushions from the same it is not necessary to interfere with its attachment to the hoof in the least.
What I claim as new is- 1. The combination with a horseshoe which is L-shaped in cross-section and has the horizontal portion thereof uppermost and the vertical portion dening and forming the outer side of said shoe, and clamps, one end of each of which is pivoted to the toe of said shoe, and which conform to and are adapted to bear against the inner edge of the same, of a cushion seated and secured by said clamps in the channel formed between the same and the vertical portion of the shoe.
2. The combination with a horseshoe which is L-shaped in cross-section and has the horizontal portion thereof uppermost and the ver tical portion defining and forming the outer side of said shoe, and clamps which are L- shaped 'in cross-section, one end of each of IOO which is pivoted to the toe of said shoe, and conforms to and is adapted to bear against the inner edge of the same so that the horizontal portions of said clamp overlap the said edge, of a cushion seated and secured by said clamps in the channel formed between the same and the vertical portion of the shoe.
The combination with a horseshoe which is L-shaped in cross-section, has the horizontal portion thereof uppermost, and has the vertical portion defining and forming the outer side of said shoe and provided with an inwardly-projecting bead on its lower edge, and clamps which are L-shaped in cross-section, one end of each of which is pivoted to the toe of said shoe and conforms to the shape of the inner edge of the quarters of the same against which theyare adapted to bear so that the horizontal portions of said clamp overlap the said edge and the lower edge of the vertical portions of which have an inwardly-projecting bead, of a cushion seated and secured by said clamps in the channel formed between the same and the vertical portion of the shoe.
