WILLIAM OBRIEN, OF WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO LOUIS SIEBER,
. OF WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA.
HORSE SHOE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM OBRIEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of IVoodland, in the county of Yolo and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improvement in horse shoes, and consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a side View of my improved shoe as in use, the shoe being provided with clips at the top and side to prevent it from slipping. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the shoe. Fig. 3 is a cross section on about line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig14t is a longitudinal section on about line et4 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detail view of a portion of the shoe illustrating the same as punched for the reception of the heads of nails, and Fig. 6 illustrates a shoe as creased for the heads of nails.
An important feature of my invention is the concave construction around the toe, the shoe flaring downwardly, as best shown in Figs. 3 and 4, so as to throw the ice or snow ball formed in the shoe away from the latter instead of tending to pack and tighten the snow and ice within the shoe. In securing this construe tion it will be noticed that the hollow of the shoe flares outwardly toward its lower edge and I secure this construction preferably in a depending rib A projecting downwardly at the inner edge of the body B and flaring outwardly 011 its inner face a. It will be no tired that the flare is on a slightly difierent angle at the sides of the shoe from the toe portion. This is best shown in Figs. 3 and a, the slope at the toe being less than that at the sides and increasing the tendency to throw the ball out of the shoe as the foot is thrown in traveling. The body B extends laterally outward at the upper edge of the rib A and forms a seat for the nail heads in securing the shoe in place. The shoe may be punched, as shown at D in Fig. 5 for the heads of nails, or may be creased as shown at Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 21, 1907.
Patented April 20, 1909.
Serial No. 363,626.
E in Fig. 6 to receive the said heads as may be desired.
lt will be noticed that the flaring face a slopes outwardly toward its junction with the outer face a of the shoe and forms an edge dispensing with toe and heel calks and giving the horse a full sharp bearing all around, which prevents slipping or sliding on cobbles, and the rib will wear about the same all around and will also act as a hinge to the ankle. Should the edge of the rib become dull at any time it will not be necessary to remove the shoe, as it can be sharpened while on the foot by an ordinary single-cnt file or other similar tool.
In Fig. 1, I show the shoe with the toe and side clips to prevent slipping and manifestly it may be made with or without these parts, as may be desired.
As best shown in Figs. 8 and 4, the inner face of the rib A is convex in cross section. This construction facilitates the self sharpening operation of the shoe, the rib being perpendicular at its outer side, and the con vex inner face also aids in preventing balling of snow within the shoe, the snow being thrown out and being prevented from sticking within the shoe by the said convex face.
hat I claim is The improvement in horseshoes herein described comprising a body portion, a rib depending from the inner edge of the body portion, the latter extending laterally outward beyond the outer face of the rib and having such lateral extension perforated for horseshoe nails, and the inner face of the depending rib being curved from end to end in cross section on convex lines with a pitch constantly increasing toward the heels of the shoe and meeting the outer face of the rib and forming an edge extending approximately throughout the length of the said depending rib, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
WILLIAM OBRIEN.
