THOMAS L. RANDALL, OF CENTERVILLE, MISSOURI, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALF TO 1'. J.
DOBIN, OF GENTERVILLE, MISSOURI.
HOBSESHOE.
oaaors.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THouAs L. RANDALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Centerville, in the county of Reynolds, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horeshoes; and I do hereby 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 horse shoes, more particularly to cushion horse shoes, and has for one of its objects to simplify and improve the construction and increase the efficiency and utility of devices of this character.
The improved device comprises in general a body portion in horse shoe form and adapted to be connected to the hoof by nails in the usual manner and reduced in thickness at the heel and toe portions, two bearing plates reduced in thickness at their end portions and conforming in outline when combined with the upper or body portion and meeting beneath the toe portions of the body, the bearing plates having the heel and toe calks depending therefrom, and means for connecting the plates detachably to the body.
The invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims, and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention, Figure l is a top plan view ofthe improved device. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation. Fig. 4C is a front elevation. Fig. 5 is a side elevation illustrating a modification in the construction. Fig. 6 is a transverse section on the line 66 of Fig. 5.
The body portion of the shoe is indicated at 10 and conforms in shape with an ordinary horse shoe, and is provided with the usual nail apertures 11 to enable the body to be attached to the hoof in the ordinary manner. At the heel and toe portions the body 10 is reduced in thickness as illustrated in Fig. 3, and is provided with apertures to receive holding screws, as hereinafter explained.
Bearing beneath the body 10 are two bearing plates l2-13 conforming in outline to Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 4, 1909.

Serial No. 500,105.
the body 10 and meeting beneath the toe portion of the body.
The bearing plate 12 is provided with a heel calk 14 while the plate 13 is pro vided with a heel calk 15. The plate 12 is also provided with a half calk 16 while the plate 18 is provided with corresponding half calk 17, the two calks l6l7 being located beneath the toe portion of the body and constituting the toe calk of the shoe. The plates 12l3 are reduced in thickness toward their ends similar to the body 10 so that relatively large spaces are formed between the toe and heel portions of the body and the plates, as shown. The plates 1213 are provided with apertures to receive the holding screws 18 whereby the plates are connected detachably to the body, the screws operating in the threaded apertures in the body above referred to.
By this simple means a very effectual and efficient cushion shoe is produced which relieves the horse largely from jars and concussions incident to travel over pavements or stony or hard roads. The body 10 and the plates 1213 should be of sufficient strength so that they will not yield under ordinary conditions, or when the horse is standing or traveling over relatively soft roads, but when the horse is moving over stone or other hard pavements, or upon stony hard roads, the reduced portions of the shoe will produce a cushioning effect, and relieve the horse from strains as above noted.
In Figs. 5 and 6 rubber or other filling members are arranged between the reduced portions of the body and the plates, to not only receive the downward movement when strains are applied, but likewise to prevent the entrance of stones or other matter which might enter the cavities and prevent the desired action of the shoe. The filler members are indicated by the character 19, and
are preferably formed with hollows in their upper faces to form ribs to bear upon opposite sides of the body 10, and thus prevent the displacement of the filler members. The filler members may be formed of any suitable material, such as relatively hard rubber, or the like, and extend entirely around the shoe, but are relatively thin where the parts are united by the fastening devices 18.
The improved device can be readily ap plied to shoes of various forms and sizes,
and adapted to all the various qualities of shoes manufactured and to hoofs of varying sizes, without material structural changes.
What is claimed is 1. A horse shoe comprising a body member reduced in thickness at the heel and toe portions, two bearing members reduced in thickness at the ends and each corresponding in outline to one-half of the body, said bearing members each having a heel calk and a half toe calk, and means for detachably securing said bearing members to the body.
2. A horse shoe comprising a body member reduced in thickness at the heel and toe portions, two bearing members reduced in thickness at the ends and each corresponding in. outline to one-half the body and meeting beneath the toe portion of the same, said bearing members each having a heel calk at its rear end and half calks at its forward meeting end and combined to constitute the toe calk of the shoe, and means for detachably securing said bearing members to the body.
3. A horse shoe comprising a body member reduced in thickness at the heel and toe portions, two bearing members reduced in thickness at the ends, and each corresponding in outline to one-half of the body and each of said bearing members having a heel calk and a half toe calk, means for detachably securing said bearing members to the body, and yieldable filler members between the reduced portions of the body member and the bearing members.
In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
