in commection with Horse-shoe Calkers,
GEORGE BOOTH, 50, Albion Street, Morley, near Leeds, in the County of York-
shire, Blacksmith 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 my invention is to improve the style of studs or calkers, now in
general use, for fixing into horse-shoes, and also to improve the method of fixing
the said studs or calkers into horse-shoes.
The drawings left with the provisional specification gives the main features
of my invention.
Figure 1, shows a horse-shoe with studs or calkers S, fixed to it by set-screws F.
Figure 2, shows a section through A, B, and shows the method of fixing the
studs or calkers S, to the horse-shoe by set-screws F.
Figure 3, shows the front part of the horse-shoe at C, D, with the stud or
calkers S.
Figure 4, shows a section of the stud or calker S, with a slot or recess made
in it.
Figure 5, is another view of the stud or calker S, also showing the slot or recess
made in it,
In carrying out my invention, I make the studs or calkers S, of a required
shape and dimensions, and I also make a slot or recess in them, as shown in
[Price 8d.]

page_text: Figures 2, 4 and 5. These slots or recesses I make on both sides if required. In
the horse-shoe, I make a required number of vertical holes, these holes being of
a size to admit the shanks of the studs or calkers S, in which are the slots or
recesses. Into these holes I put the required number of studs or calkers S. I
then make horizontal holes, either inside or outside, or on both sides of the horse-
shoe, directly opposite to the slotted or recessed parts of the studs or calkers S.
The horizontal holes are tapped in order to put in set screws F. I then put set
screws F, into the horizontal holes in the horse-shoe, and screw them up tightly.
The ends of the set screws then fit firmly into the slots or recesses of the studs or
calkers S, and prevent them from falling out of the holes in the horse-shoe. The
studs or calkers S, can at any time be removed for renewal, by simply slackening
the set screws, F, so as to bring their ends out of the slots or recesses of the studs
or calkers S, and then lifting them out.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner, the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. The employment of studs or calkers S, made with slots or recesses in them,
for inserting into holes in horse-shoes as described.
2. The employment of set screws F, in combination with studs or calkers S,
for fixing the said studs or calkers S, into holes in horse-shoes as described.
3. The employment of studs or calkers S, made with slots or recesses in them,
and set screws F, in combination with horse shoes as described.
