Specification of LettersPatent.
Patented Aug. 1 1, 190s.
Application filed December 4, 1907. Serial No. 405,106.
To all whom pz'may concern.'
Be it known that I, JACOB H. FAwKEs, a citizen of' the United States, and a resident of l Detroit, in the county ofVVayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Air-Cushions for Horseshoes, of which the following is a speci fcation.
My invention is an improvement in air cushions for horse shoes and consists in certain novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
Referring to the drawing forming a part hereof Figure l is a side view of a riding horse provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view Of the shoe and cushion. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3- 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a view of a driving horse provided with the improvement.
The present embodiment of my invention comprises a substantial ring shaped shoe A Of suitable material, secured to the hoof of the horse by the usual nails A. A clamping ring B fits within the shoe, the ring being secured to the shoe by the screws C. A resilient bag D is arranged within the clamping ring, and a cover E of leather or fabric material is placed over the bag, the edges E" Of the cover being inserted between the clamping ring and the shoe as shown in Fig. 3. It will be obvious from the description, that when the edges E of the cover are inserted between the clamping ring and the shoe, and the screws are turned into place, the bag will be retained firmly in position. An air receptacle H of suitable material is provided, which is adapted to serve as a seat for the rider or driver as the case may be, and is connected to the resilient bag in each shoe, by a tube M, each ofthe bags being provided with a nipple G for convenience 1n attaching the tube. The receptacle is also provided with a nipple K for convenience in filling the same.
The tubes M are arranged along side Of the horses legs, and are retained thereagainst by retaining bands N, O, one of said bands being abve the linee, and the other above the fetlOc i.
In the construction shown in Fig. 4, the receptacle H is provided with a tube Q cOnnecting it with the tubes M. In Operation, the receptacle is filled with air at a pressure of 150 lbs., which provides vfor the same pressure in the air cushions.
I claim:
l. A device of the class described, comprising a shoe adapted'to be secured to the hoof of the horse, a clamping ring fitting within the shoe, screws traversing the clamping ring and engaging the shoe, a resilient bag fitting within the clamping ring, a fleXi ble cover fitting over the bag and having its edges inserted between the clamping ring and the shoe, an air receptacle arranged as a seat for the rider or driver, and tubes connecting the resilient bag with the receptacle.
2. A device of the class described, comprising a shoe, a clamping ring fitting within the shoe, means for securing the ring to the shoe, a resilient bag fitting within the clamping ring, a flexible cover fitting over the bag and having its edges inserted between the clamping ring and the shoe, an air receptacle arranged as a seat for the rider or driver, and a connection between the resilient bag and the receptacle.
3. A device Of the class described, comprising a plurality of shoes adapted to be secured to the hoofs of the horse, a resilient bag within each of the shoes, an air receptacle,
and a communication between the receptacle and each of the shoes.
