Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 17, 1907.
Applica on filed May 13,1907. erial No. 373,422.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, COLUMBUS M. DAVIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waggoner, in the county of Montgomery and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Horseshoeing-Stand, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has reference to improvements in horscshoeing stands, and its object is to provide means whereby a horse may be securely held during the operation of shoeing.
The invention is particularly designed for transportation from place to place, which renders it especially adapted to army use or under any other like conditions.
The invention is also adapted to prevent the horse, while being shod, from subjecting the operator to any injury from the struggles of the horse, and to prevent injury to the horse itself.
The invention consists essentially of a movable platform arranged to be placed upon a low wagon or wagon running gear, and upon this platform is erected a frame having removable side and end bars and of sufficient length and height to receive a horse. The top of the frame carries another frame in which are provided a suitable number of winches by means of which the horse may be held or supported and its legs may be lifted to bring them into proper position for the shoeing operation.
The invention will be fully understood from the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, in whieh',
Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the operation of the invention; Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section; and Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line xx of Fig. 2.
7 Referring to the drawings, there is shown a rectangular platform 1 mounted upon longitudinal skids 2 by means of which the device may be dragged from point to point after the manner of a stone-float. At one end the platform has sections 3 on each side arranged so as to fold back upon the top of the platform. This provision is made so that when the platform is mounted upon a low wagon or upon the running-gear of a wagon these hinged portions 3 may be folded back upon the platform to leave room for the hind wheels of the wagon. This provision permits the platform to be mounted upon wagons of common construction, without the necessity of building a special wagon for the transportation of the device.
Erected upon the platform are four corner posts 4, and these posts at their free ends carry longitudinal beams 5 spaced apart the same distance as are the posts, while cross-beams 6 serve to strengthen the structure, which is firmly bolted together and otherwise strengthened by braces 7. At a suitable height on the front posts 4 are elongated straps 8 spaced away from the posts for a distance to receive removable cross-bars 1 9. These straps may have a number of perforations 10 to receive pins 11 by means of which the bar 9 which is perforated to permit the passage of the pins therethrough may be securely fastened in position. The rear portion 12 may be similarly mounted or one or both of the straps 8 may be formed into a bracket 13 for receiving one end of the bar, so that when one of the pins is-removed the bar may be simply turned on the other pin as a pivot. There are also provided side rails 14. These rails are secured at one end by pins 15 passing through two spaced eyes 16 on the corresponding corner post 4 and through an appropriate perforation in the end of each bar 14, while the other end of the bar is formed with a shoulder 17 and beyond which it has a beveled extension 18. The corner post 4 is correspondingly recessed, as shown at 19, and adjacent to this re cess there is formed a bracket 20. The bar 14 may be slipped endwise by this bracket until the shoulder 17 engages the corner post 4 with the beveled end 18 in the recess 19. The other end of the bar 1.4 is then moved into coincidence with the ears 16 and the pin 15 is introduced in place. By this means each bar is removable outwardly by first removing the pin, when the beveled and shouldered end of the bar will move about the post 4 as a hinge until the other end is free from its corresponding post 4, when the bar may be pulled longitudinally away from engagement with the other post 4 and bracket 20.
In the beams 5 are formed journal bearings for the journals of drums 21, and these drums are each provided with a ratchet wheel 22 engaged by a pawl 23 pivoted to the corresponding beam 5. One journal 24 of each drum is extended through and beyond the corresponding beam 5 and is there formed with a square or other shaped end to receive a suitable handle or lever 25 by means of which the drums may be rotated in an appropriate direction. The ends of the beams 5 extend longitudinally beyond the corner posts 4 and there also carry drums 21 with ratchet wheels 22 and pawls 23. Now, let it be assumed that it is desirable to use the stand for the purpose of holding a horse while being shod. One of the end bars, say, the end bar 12, is removed and the horse is driven in between the corner posts 4 and the end bar is then replaced. Now, the horse may be partially supported by means of bands 26 carried by ropes 27 coming from certain of the drums 21, and a neckband 28 may be fastened by ropes 29 to eyes 30 fast on the corner posts 4, while the head of the horse may be elevated more or less by securing the halter rope or strap 31 to the drum 21 on the front extension of the beams 5. A rope or strap 32 may be fast to one of the horses legs and wound upon one of the drums 21 where it will be held in the desired position by the pawl 23 engaging the ratchet 22. The operator thereupon removes the bar 14 on the side on which he intends to work and proceeds to shoe the horse. Having completed the operation on one side, it is then only necessary to replace the particular bar 14 and remove the other bar 14 and to raise the foot desired for shoeing. After the operation is all completed the front bar 9 may be removed and the horse, aiter being relieved from the bands 26 and 28, may be led out from the structure.
There is thus provided a simple structure by means of which the animal is kept from injuring the horse shoer and also from in any way injuring itself. At the same time the whole structure may be dragged from place to place, since it is complete in itself and may be put upon a wagon and transported to any point desired. It is therefore particularly applicable for use in the army or for other organizations where a large number of horses are used and which may have occasion to travel from point to point.
I claim:
1. A horseshoeing stand comprising a suitable platform, a frame erected thereon, removable retaining bars for confining a horse within the limits of the frame, overhead winches and means controlled by said winches for support ing the horse and for elevating its legs preparatory to applying the shoes.
2. A horseshoeing stand comprising a platform with hingedend sections, posts or uprights carried by the platform, longitudinal beams at the upper ends of the posts, winches carried by said beams, and removable front and side bars for confining the horse within the limits of the uprights.
3. A transportable horseshoeing stand comprising a plat form mounted upon skids, a frame erected on said platform and consisting of spaced uprights, removable side and end bars carried by said uprights, longitudinal beams on the upper ends of said uprights, and winches journaled in said longitudinal beams.
4. In a horseshoeing stand, a frame, for confining a horse, comprising spaced uprights, and a removable side bar having a shouldered and beveled end, a socket for said end formed in one of the uprights, spaced ears on a corresponding upright, and means for securing the said bar between said ears.
5. A horseshoeing stand comprising a platform having hinged end sections, skids for said platform, uprights erected on the platform, longitudinal beams on the upperends of the uprights, winches journaled in said beams, re
, movable end bars carried by the uprights, removable side bars also carried by the uprights, and means secured to said winches for supporting a horse when confined within said uprights.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I-
have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
COLUMBUS M. DAVIS.
