HORSESHOE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 708,982, dated September 16, 1902.
Application filed March 10,1902. Serial No. 97.552. (No model.)
To all whont it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWIN D. BANGS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
My invention has especial reference to horseshoes provided with calks; and it consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts, as will be fully set forth hereinafter in connection with the accompanying drawings, and subsequently claimed.
In the said drawings, Figure 1 is an inverted plan view of one of my improved horseshoes with one of the calks and its supporting-nipple in section on the plane indicated by the line 1 1 in Fig. 2. Fig.2 is a detail vertical sectional view taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the calks detached. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective View of a portion of the horseshoe, showing one of the calk-supporting nipples.
Heretofore calks have been made attachable to and removable from horseshoes, as well as permanently secured thereto; but with the removable calks the same have usually been secured by means of screws or pins which entered bores or openings formed in the shoe itself, which tended to lessen the strength of the shoe; and the object of my present invention is to provide a means of securing removable calks to horseshoes which shall strengthen instead of weaken the shoe and which shall enable calks of differentsizes, shapes, lengths, and degrees of pointedness to be quickly and readily substituted one for the other as required in any particular instance-as, for example, for summer or Winfor use.
Referring to the drawings, a represents a horseshoe of ordinary form, except that it is not formed with either heel or toe calks, but which is provided on each side of the center of the location of the usual toe-calk of the shoe with a projecting nipple b, these nipples beingcast or forged integral with the shoe or and threaded, while adjacent to each heel end of the shoe a are similar projecting threaded nipples c.
The calks d are of any exterior form desired, but are all provided with vertical longitudinal screw-threaded bores 6, whereby any calk can be readily and quickly secured to any of the nipples?) or c, the latter being of uniform diameter and pitch and the calks, as stated, interchangeable.
By the described construction an exceedingly simple and economical horseshoe is provided, and instead of being a source of weakness the calk-supporting nipples really add to the strength of the shoes by the increased amount of metal at these points, besides which the change from long pointed winter calks to short and blunt summer calks can be instantly effected withthe greatest ease and with a common wrench or ordinary pair of pliers, the portion of the calks adjacent to the shoe being preferably formed with square sides, as shown at f, thereby dispensing with the need of any special tools for the removal or the replacement of the calks. By this construction the shoe proper may be made of extreme lightness, as there is no subsequent weakening by perforations for the reception of screws, pins, or other calk-securing devices in any part, and hence a shoe suitable for driving or trotting in the summer months can be instantly converted into a winter shoe by the substitution of the proper calks and without removal of the shoes from the hoofs.
A great advantage of my horseshoes over those now in the market which carry removable calks lies in the fact that my shoes may be heated in shaping them to the hoofs of horses the same as any ordinary shoe without any injury or interference with their subse quent use or the removal or replacement of their calks, which isimpossible with shoes having slots or other perforations therein for the reception of said calks, and hence my shoes have all the advantages of the usual removable-call: shoes freed from the objections noted relative thereto.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'- 1. A horseshoe having a screw-threaded nipple formed integrally therewith and projccting therefrom, in combination With a call: formed With a longitudinal screw-threaded bore removaloly secured to said nipple.
2. A horseshoe having a plane surface on I its under side interrupted only by projecting screw threaded nipples formed integrally therewith, and all of the same diameter and pitch of threads in combination with a series of calks, all provided With longitudinal screwthreaded bores of equal diameter and pitch, said calks being removably and interchangeably unitedto said nipples.
3. A horseshoe-call; having a longitudinalthreaded bore and a squared exterior surface on the bored portion, one of the ends of the calk being flat, and the opposite end pointed, in combination with a horseshoe having an integral screw threaded nipple projecting from its under surface.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of VViscousin, in the presence of two Witnesses.
