HORSESHOE ATTACHMENT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 783,185, dated February 21, 1905.
Application filed April 9,1904. erial No. 202,392.
1'0 all w/tom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MILLARD F. ELLIS, acitizen of the United States, residing at Ghent, in the county of Carroll and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Horseshoes; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in horseshoe attachments; and the object of the invention is to produce a removable calk-plate which may be easily applied to and removed from a horseshoe on a horses hoof without the aid of a blacksmith and providing means whereby the shoe may be prevented from slipping forward or sidewise.
The invention consists, further, in various details of construction and arrangements of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claim.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form apart of this application, and in which Figure 1 is a bottom plan view of a horseshoe, showing my removable calk-plate attached thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail view of the calk-plate, showing in dotted lines the positions that the hooked members are given to engage over the edge of a shoe; and Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 3 3 of Fig. 1.
Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a horseshoe of the usual construction without a toecalk, and B designates a plate which may be of any suitable metal and is substantially onethird the length of the shoe and curved to conform tothe shape of the toe of the horseshoe, as illustrated in the drawings. Said curved plate has fingers C projecting radially from the convexed edge thereof, which are of a malleable material adapted to be turned into hooks and over the edge of the shoe, as shown I in the drawings, whereby the plate may be securely held to the shoe when nailed to the hoof of an animal. Projecting from the concaved edge of the plate are the hooks D at the ends of the plate and an intermediate hook D, which is preferably wider than the hooks D and is adapted to engage over the toe of the shoe. Galks E are provided which are held lengthwise the shoe and may be of any suitable construction and fixed to the plate,
while a calk H projects from the central portion of the plate, its ends terminating at the inner ends of the inner pair of the radial fingers C, and this calk being arranged substantially at right angles to the length of the calks at the ends of the plate, whereby the shoe may be prevented from slipping forward, While the calks at the end of the plate prevent lateral slipping of a hoof with shoe and calk-plate thereon.
In applying my improved calk-plate the hooks along the concaved edge of the plate are made to engage over the edge of the shoe, while the integral fingers along the convexed edge of the plate are bent over the shoe and are clenched against the upper surface of the shoe when nailed or otherwise secured to the hoof of an animal, thus securely holding the plate to the shoe.
By the provision of a device embodying the features of my invention it will be observed that means will be provided for ready attachment to an ordinary horseshoe for preventing the shoe from slipping and which may be easily removed and new calk-plates replaced when desired, thus affording a great saving of expense and time in equipping the horseshoe for use.
While I have shown a particular detailed construction of attachment embodying the features of my calk-plate, it will be understood that I may alter the same, if desired, as to details of construction without in any way departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
An attachment for horseshoes comprising a curved plate conforming to the shape of the toe of a horseshoe, and provided with fingers extending radially from the outer edge thereof, and designed to be bent over the outer edge of the toe of a horseshoe, hooks upon the inner edge of said plate designed to engage overtheinner edge of the toe of theshoe, a In testimony whereof I hereunto afEX my toe-calkdprojecting from the bottom of said signature in presence of two Witnesses. plate an terminating at the inner ends of the. inner of said radial fingers, and calks project- MILLARD ELLIS 3 ing from the face of the plate adjacent to the Witnesses:
ends thereof and at angles to said toe-calk, as D. M. HANLON, shown and described. F. M. CRUTCHIQR.
