SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent No. 706,543, dated August 12, 1902..
Approdi@ nea April 19, 1902. .p
T0 all whom, it may concern:
Beit known that I, JOHN YV. FISHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Akron, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvementin I-lorseshoes, of which the following is a specitication.`
My invention has relation to improvements in horseshoes known by the nameof soft or cushion tread and constructed of a combination of iron Or steel and vulcanized indiarubber. l
The object Ot' my invention is to produce an improved shoe of the general class named that shall have the advantages of the cushion elelnent combined with a metallic toe-calk and metallic strengthening for the heel-calks that shall embody'a metallic shoe to4 be permanently fastened to the hoof with the rubber and calk portion detaohably secured thereon, so that it may be removed andrenewed when it becomes worn without disturbing the metal shoe.
To the accomplishment of the aforesaid objects Iny invention consists of the peculiar and novel construction, arrangement, and combination of parts hereinafter ,described and then specifically pointed out in the claims, reference being had to `the accompanying drawings, which forma part of this specification. g "j" In the accompanying drawings, in which similar reference-numerals indicate like parts in the different figures, Figure 1 is an inverted plan of the entire shoe; Fig. 2, an end elevation of one of the heels of Fig. 1; Fig. 3,.a section of Fig. lat the line so; Fig. 4, a seci tion at the line y; Fig. 5, an inverted plan of the metal shoe to be secured to the hoof; Fig..-` 6, a section of Fig.,1 at the line w, and Fig.` 7 a section of the same at the line z.
Referring to the figures, 1 is the metal shoe, having at the toe an upturned Ilan ge 2 tobear against the front of the hoof and provided with nail-holes 3, the. entire upper face being of the usual flat form. s
About the entireedge of the lower face of the shoe is a flange 4 and inside the line of the nail-holes oneach side a similar flange 5, united at each end with the flange 4.
In the toe of theshoe 1 is a central round holo 6, from each side of which branches 7 Serial No. 103,707. (No model.)y
diverge inlines slightly-inclined toward the heels. The sides andends of these branches 7 are beveledfrom top and bottom, so as to present inwardly-projecting edges, as shown in Fig. 7.
In each heel of the shoe .is a rectangular notch S, extending forwardsubstantially in alinement with that portion of the shoe, over the outer end of which` notch is a curved metal band 9, integral with the shoe.
The support or reinforce of the rubber portion, to be described, consists of metal frame 10 of peculiar form and shown in outline by dotted lines in Fig. 1, excepting at the toe and partially at the heels, as will now be eX- plained. Between the front of the heel-calks and the ends of the toe portion this frame is a narrow band, flat below and rounded on top, gradually .widened toward the toe and heels. At the heel this frame iswidened into a somewhat ellipticalfshapeand extends downward in a gradually-decreasing thickness to `a narrow edge, thus presenting it dovetailed iin section, as seen in Fig. 3, and decreased in length, as lappears in Fig. 4, and constituting the metallic centers 1l of the heel-calks. `.At the toe of the frame 10 it is thickened above and below on Veach side by substantially abrupt shoulders', the one on the under face to abut therubber portion, tobe described.
' At thetoe isanlintegral ealk 12, curved to conformto the line of the shoe, and back of the calk on each side of the center are holes 13, that register with the outer ends of the branches 7 of the shoe 1. Back of the holes 13 is a recess for a binding-wire, to be described, which recess is in the under face of the frame about one-half the thickness of the metal vin depth, with its ends abrupt and the intermediateline conformed to the inner line -of the-tOe-calk, and in the inner edge of this `recess is a groove 19, semicircular in section and arranged to register vertically with the semicircular grooves in the binding-posts, to be described. i l i On the top of the heels of the frame a short distance infront of the endsare integraldepending lugs 15, from the rear ends ofwhich extend round ,pins 16, adapted` to. enter the notches S of the shoe 1 and rest under the bands 9.
The elastic portion 17 is of rubber, which IOO incloses the frame from the abrupt shoulders at each side of the toe to the ends of the pins 16, and the rear ends are thickened and widened, so that their lower faces are even Withlthe metallic centers 11, which they also inclose, thus forming an elastic heel-calk with a metallic center.
In operationthe rubber is vulcanized in suitable molds on the frame. The parts are then assembled by passing the pins 16 into the notches 8 and pushing the combined frame and rubber backward until the pins rest under the bands 9. Previously, however, two binding-posts 18 are prepared. These posts are alike and yeach is round, of such a diameter as to pass through the hole 6 in the shoe 1. Each post has a Vshaped groove 22 to lit the inner edges of the branches 7 and near its center a curved semicircular groove 23 for a purpose to be stated. These bindingposts having been .inserted in the hole 6 are then severally pushed outward in opposite directions to the ends of the branches 7. The
toe of the frame 10 is then pressed down until it rests on the shoe 1, with the posts 18 entering the holes 13. A Wire 20, curved to fit the front curve of the recess and rest in the curved grooves 23 of the posts 18, is then inserted in the opposite half- grooves 19 and 23 of the recess and posts 18, respectively, andserves to hold the posts and frame together, thus securing the parts firmly. When it is desired to remove the frame 10 and its rubber coating, a small lever, like an awl or similar implement, is inserted in the notch 21 and the wire 2O pried out, when the various parts are separated by reversing the action by which they were assembled. By this construction a newframe and rubber coating can be substituted for the 'first when the latter is worn.
Having thus described my invention, what y I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat- 1. An improved cushion-horseshoe consisting of a metal shoe to be secured to the hoof having means for securing thereto an independent underitnposed vulcanized -rubber tread-surface inclosinga metal frame provided as described with a rubber coating, excepting at the toe and arranged to be detachably secured to said shoe and means for connecting said shoe and frame, substantially as shown and described.
2. An improved cushion-horseshoe consisting of a metal shoe tobe secured to the hoof `having means for securing thereto an underimposed vulcanized-rubber tread-surface, in combination With a metal frame having integral toe and heel calks and provided with ra rubber coating, and a rubber envelop inclosing said frame and thickened at the heel substantially even with the heel-calks, and
means for detachably uniting said frame and shoe, substantially as shown and described.
y 3. An improved cushion-horseshoe consisting of a metal shoe to be fastened to the hoof having on its under face, fianges to form a seat for an underimposed cushion and means for securing said cushion thereto, in combination with a metal frame having integral toe and heel calks anda rubber en velop,arranged to lie Within said flanges, thickened at the heel about said heel-calks, and means for uniting said frame and envelop, with saidk metal shoe, substantially as shown and described.
4.' An improved cushion-horseshoe consisting of a metal shoe to be fastened to the hoof having notches in the heel with bands over the back ends of said notches, in combination with a metal frame having integral toe and heel calks with offset pins to enter said notches and rest under said bands, and means for detachably securing the toe of said frame to the shoe, and a rubber envelop inclosing said frame back of the toe portion, and thick- -ened at the heel about said heel-calks, substantially as shown and described.
5. An improved cushion-horseshoe consisting of a metal shoe 1, to be fastened to the hoof having means at the heel for securing a rubber-covered frame, and a hole 6, at the toe with lateral narrower branches 7, and posts 18, to enter said hole having grooves to fit said branches 7, in combination with a frame 10, having integral means 16, for securing it to the heels of said shoe 1, and holes to register with and receive said posts 18, a
6. The herein-described cushion-horseshoe consisting of a metal shoe 1, to be secured to the hoof, having flanges to form a retaining-seat for an underimposed cushion, with notches in the heel with bands 9, over their back ends, a hole 6, at the toe with lateral narrower branches 7, and posts to enter said hole having grooves to fit said branches, and other grooves for a binding-wire 20, in combination with a metal frame 10, having integral toe and heel calks, with odset pins 16, to entersaid notches and rest under said bands 9, and holes to register with and receive said posts at the ends of said branches and a recess at the toe back of and between said holes, a rubber envelop 17 inclosing said frame 10 back of the toe portion and thickened about said heel-calks, and a wire 20, to rest across said recess and in the grooves 19 thereof, and in the grooves 23 of said posts 18, to retain the toe of said frame, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the above I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
