FLIX GALLEY AND ALMON H. ROUDEBUSH, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
SOFT-TREAD HORSESHOE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 666,007, dated January 15, 1901.
Application iiled April 24, 1900 To all whom it may concern:
Be known that we, FELIX GALLEY and AL- MoN H. RoUDEBUsH, citizens of` the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Horseshoe, of which the following is a speci tication.
This invention relates to horseshoes, and has for its object 'to provide an improved softtread shoe in which the cushioning-strip is applied to the shoe after the latter has been secured to the hoof of the animal and is held in place without the aid of separate or removable fastenings. It is futhermore designed to construct the shoe and the cushioning-strip so as to facilitate the assembling thereof and to prevent the strip from working loose or twisting upon the shoe.
With these and other objects in View the presentinvention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes in the form, proportion, size, and minordetails may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawings, Figure l is a-perspective view of a horseshoe constructed in accordance with the present invention. Fig. 2 isa detail perspective view of the metal shoe, the cushioning-strip being removed. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the cushioningstrip.` Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional View taken through the toe of the completed shoe. Fig. 5 is a similar View taken intermediate of the toe and heel of the shoe. Fig. 6is a sectional view taken transversely through one of the heel-sections of the shoe.
Corresponding parts in the several iigures of the drawings are designated by like characters of reference.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates the metal body of the shoe, which has the same general shape as an ordinary horseshoe and is provided with the openings 2 for the reception of the nails,whereby the'shoe is secured to the hoof of an animal. At the outer and inner edges of the shoe there are provided the respective pendent marginal anges Serial No. 14,153. (No model.)
3 and 4, which are continuous throughout the length of the shoe to form a contin nous groove. As indicated in Fig. ot the drawings, these flanges converge or incline inwardly to form a dovetailed groove. By reference to Fig. 4 it will be seen that the outer fiauge 3 is thickcned at the toe of the shoe and is undercut on its inner side to form an inwardly-directed overhanging shoulder 5. At each heel portion ofthe shoe the outerand inner lianges are each provided with in wardly-directed shoulders 6 and 7, which torm a continuous shoulder overhanging the groove and located flush with the outer or lower edges of the marginal anges. Thus between the toe and the opposite heel portions of the shoe the flanges are free from overhanging shoulders. The toe of the shoe is also provided with the usual toeclip 8 to embrace the outer side of the hoof in the ordinary manner.
The cushioning-strip 9, which is best shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, is continuous and also formed of rubber or other preferred elastic material, which will cushion the blow of the shoe against the ground. This strip is of the general shape of the horseshoe and is substantially dovetailed in cross-section to fit snugly the dovetailed groove of the shoe, and is also thick enough to project a suitable distance beyond the outer edges of the marginal flanges to contact with the ground. At the toe of the strip there is an outwardlydirected rib 10, which is flush with the upper or inner face of the strip and is designed to overlap the shoulder 5 at the toe of the shoe, as shown in Fig. 4. of the drawings. Each heel portion of the stripis reduced in width, so as to form the opposite longitudinal ribs 11 to overlap the shoulders at the heel of the shoe.
It will be understood that the metallic body of the shoe is first secured to the hoof by means of the usual horseshoe-nails that are driven through the openings 2, after which the heel portions of the cushioning-strip are inserted into the boxes formed by the heelshoulders 6 and 7, which overlap the ribs ll, and then the toe-rib lO is engaged beneath the toe-shoulder 5, and finally the intermediate portion of the strip is forced into the groove by being struck with a hammer or other suitable implement. Thus the assem- IOO bling of the shoe and the cushioning-strip is facilitated, and the strip is iXedly held by the shoulders at the heel and toe portions of the shoe without the employment of separate or additional fastenings.
What is claimed is- 1. Ahorseshoe,havinginnerand outermarginal flanges, which converge or incline inwardly to form a `continuons groove, the toe portion of the outer ilange being thickened and undercut to form an inwardlydirected shoulder overhanging the groove, overhanging heel-shoulders projecting inwardly in opposite directions from the outer and inner marginal langes,and acushioning-strip fitted in the groove, having a toe-rib overlapping the toe-shoulder of the metal shoe, and opposite heels-ribs overlapping the heelffianges.
2. A horseshoe, having` a continuous groove in the under ortread side thereof, said groove Intestimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereto atixed our signatures in the. presence of two witnesses.
