PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Attachments for Roughing Horse Shoes.
I WILLIAM VINCENT WINGRAVE of Brook Street South Weald, Essex Smith
and Farrier do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in providing means for attaching pyramidal spikes such as
are employed for roughing horseshoes at various parts of the horseshoe as may be
required. For this purpose I fix the spike in a clamp by which it is to be attached
to the horseshoe so that it may be readily renewed when worn. The clamp is made
with a clip at one side to overlap the horseshoe at its exterior the opposite side of
the clamp being formed with a boss to receive a set screw. The set screw is made
not to abut upon the interior of the horseshoe but is pointed in conical form so as
to wedge itself upon the foot surface of the shoe at its interior next the horses hoof.
By this arrangement the clip of the clamp is drawn towards the set screw and the
clamp is at the same time firmly bedded upon the ground surface of the horseshoe
with preferably a piece of leather or other soft material intervening.
The clamp herein before described is particularly applicable to horseshoes formed
of a section of iron from which horseshoes are commonly made to reduce the
bearing of the horses hoof thereon. It is however applicable to horseshoes made
without the chamfered edge at their interior.
Dated this 16th day of January 1891.

Improvements in Attachments for Roughing Horse Shoes.
I WILLIAM VINCENT WINGRAVE Brook Street, South Weald in the County of
Essex 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 ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
My invention consists in providing means for attaching pyramidal spikes such as
are employed for roughing horseshoes, at various parts of the horseshoe as may
be required. For this purpose I fix the spike in a clamp as shown in the accom-
panying drawings in which
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the clamp and spike.
Figure 2 is a plan of the upper side of the same.
Figure 3 is an elevation of the same.
Figure 4 is a plan of the under side of the same.
Figure 5 is one end view of Figure 3.
Figure 6 is the other end view of Figure 3.
The clamp A may be readily attached to the horseshoe so as to provide for
renewing the spike E when worn. At one end of the clamp A form a clip B to
overlap the horseshoe at its exterior_the opposite side of the clamp being formed
with a boss C to receive a set screw D. The set screw D is made not to abut upou
the interior of the horseshoe but is pointed in conical form so as to wedge itself
upon the foot surface of the shoe at its interior next the horse's hoof. By this
arrangement the clip B is drawn towards the set screw D and the clamp A is at
the same time firmly bedded upon the ground surface of the horseshoe with,
preferably, a piece of leather or other soft material intervening.
The clamping device herein before described is particularly applicable to horse-
shoes formed of a section of iron from which horseshoes are commonly made to
.

page_text: reduce the bearing of the horse's hoof thereon. It is however applicable to horse-
shoes made without the chamfered edge at their interior.
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 :-
A clamp for attaching renewable spikes to horseshoes, held by a pointed set
screw so disposed with regard to a clip as to bed the clamp firmly upon the horse-
shoe substantially as described.
