PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION..
Improved Shoe for Horses and other Animals.
I, JAMES BURCHETT of Laleham in the County of Middlesex Smith & Farrier
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
--
The object of this invention is to prevent horses and other animals from slipping in
frosty weather or when travelling along paved roads.
According to this invention I form the shoe which may be of iron or other suitable
material with the toe and heels long enough to obtain a firm bearing on the ground
and to allow for wearing surface and across the body of the shoe between the toe and
heel pieces I form one or more triangular ridges sharp on the apex thereof. These
ridges may be radial to the curve of the shoe or parallel to each other and I space
then sufficiently far apart to allow of a nail hole through the shoe between each
ridge.
When placed on a level surface the toe and heel pieces and the apices of the
ridges may all touch such surface of the apices of the ridges may project beyond the
bottom of the toe and heel pieces.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Shoe for Horses and other Animals.
I JAMES BURCHETT of Laleham in the County of Middlesex Smith and Farrier
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The object of this Invention is to prevent horses and other animals from slipping in
frosty weather or when travelling along paved roads.
According to this Invention I form the shoe which may be of iron or other suitable
material with the toe and heels long enough to obtain a firm bearing on the ground
and to allow for wearing surface and across the body of the shoe between the toe
and heel pieces I form one or more triangular ridges sharp on the apices thereof.
These ridges may be radial to the curve of the shoe or parallel to each other and I
space them sufficiently far apart to allow of a nail hole through the shoe between each
ridge.
When placed on a level surface the toe and heel pieces and the apices of the ridges
may all touch such surface or the apices of the ridges may project beyond the bottom
of the toe and heel pieces.
And in order that my said Invention may be the better understood I will proceed
to explain the same with reference to the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1
represents view of the underside of a shoe constructed according to this Invention.
Fig. 2 side view of same. The same letters denote the same parts in both Figs.
(a) is the shoe, b the toe piece, c c heel pieces, d the triangular ridge pieces,
e nail holes, toe clip. The ridge pieces may be forged out of the solid metal,
or welded on to the body of the shoe, or I may form the ridge pieces d by rolling
in which case I weld the toe and heel pieces on, preferably after the shoe is
shaped, or the shoes may be cast from soft steel or other suitable metal or stamped
out in dies.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In a shoe for horses and other animals the combination with the toe and heel
pieces of one or more triangular ridge pieces on each side of the shoe between
the said toe and heel pieces for the purpose specified.
2: The improved shoe for horses and other animals substantially as described &
shown.
