PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
New or Improved Shoes for Animals with Single or Divided Hoofs.
I, THEODOR ZEHETHAUER, of Fürbergasse 26, Wilhelmsburg, Lower Austria,
Private Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be na
follows:-
-
The present invention relates to shoes for animals with single or divided hoofs
which differ from known shoes by consisting of'a stamped plate with downwardly
directed borders. In the shoe for animals with single hoof, the two borders can
also be stiffened by 'inserted stamped box-like forms, whereby bouding together
of the borders at the places where there is most wear or impact is prevented.
The annexed drawing represents 'the invention as follows:-
The Figs. 1 and 2 show in perspective view a stamped shoe for animals with
single hoof from above and below respectively.
Figs. 3 and 4 represent the shoe for animals 'with divided hoofs in perspective
view from above and below respectively.
The Fig. 5 shows the manner in which the latter shoe is fastened between
the two hoof parts.
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the shoe consists of a bedplate a which is provided
by stamping with downwardly directed_borders_b and e extending around the
inner and outer edges of the shoe and also round the ends
The bed plate is then in the ordinary way provided with holes d for the nails.
Between the borders b and c of the shoe stamped stiffening boxes such as o and f
can be put in for the purpose of preventing a bending of the borders where there
is most forcible impact as aforesaid.
For animals with divided hoofs the shoes consist also each of a bed plate a in
form corresponding to the under surface of each hoof part and provided with a
downwardly directed border y. Near the outside edge of this bed plate there are
provided also in the ordinary manner nail holes d whilst the fastening between
the two hoof parts is effected by tongues i introduced from below into the holes h
in the bed plate, extending up between the hoof parts and bent over above the
latter as shown in Fig. 5. The fastening with tongues inserted through holes
in the bed plate has the advantage over the use of shoes which are firmly fixed
to the tongues, that the hoof is not solidly fixed with the new shoe by the tongues
so as to prevent its growing by constant and deformatory pressure, moreover,
should the tongue break or have to be taken away or replaced this can be dono
without taking off the shoe.
This new shoe has also the advantage of being produced by stamping and thus
being easily made although having great solidity because its borders and pos-
sible bends strengthen the bed plate. In use these shoes afford an excellent sup-
port for the animal on the ground because the border penetrates into the earth
or into uneven places and prevents slipping. Where the lower side of a shoe
forms a straight plane, it is soon ground smooth on a sandy surface so that the
animal will slip capecially in wet weather and on clay surfaces.

page_text: Shoes with calks offer in such cases no sufficient hold as the working area of the
calk is very small. As with clay surfaces, so also it is with ice in the winter.
But if shoes of the present invention are used such slipping cannot take place
because in both forms the borders afford always sharp treading spaces and present
in vertical direction sufficient working points by which the animal is supported
while penetrating so as to prevent slipping in horizontal direction in all kinds
of surfaces and in every kind of weather with full security.
There is also, with the shoe shown in Figs. 3 to 5 the further advantage that
malformations of the hoof can be considered and the bed plate a can be bent in
or outwards and also be vaulted without touching the ground. Vaultings or
doming can be made in the bed plate for the purpose to protect the hoof against
pressure or, when projecting downwards, to prevent the balling in of sand, clay,
snow and the like.
Vaultings or doming can also be arranged for the purpose of stiffening and
augmenting the solidity of the bed plate.

New or Improved Shoes for Animals with Single or Divided Hoofs.
1, THEODOR ZEHETBAUER, of Färbergasse 26, Wilhelmsburg, Lower Austria,
Privato Gentleman, 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 present invention relates to shoes for animals with single or divided hoofs
which differ from known shoes by consisting of a stamped plate with downwardly
directed borders. In the shoe for animals with single hoof, the two borders can
also be stiffened by inserted stamped box-like forms, whereby bending together
of the borders at the places where there is most wear or impact is prevented.
The drawing filed with my Provisional Specification represents the invention
as follows:
1
The Figs. 1 and 2 show in perspective view a stamped shoe for animals with
single hoof from above and below respectively.
Figs. 3 and 4 represent the shoe for animals with divided hoofs in perspective
view from above and below respectively.
Fig. 5 shows the manner
the two hoof parts.
in which the latter shoe is fastened between
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the shoe consists of a bedplate a which is provided
by stamping with downwardly directed borders b and c extending around the
inner and outer edges of the shoe and also round the ends.
The bed plate is then in the ordinary way provided with holes d for the nails.
Between the edges and c of the shoe stamped stiffening boxes such as e and
can be put in and fixed by being pressed in between the said edges b and c for
the purpose of 'preventing a bending of the borders where there is most forcible
impact as aforesaid.
in
For animals with divided hoofs the shoos consist also each of a bed plate
form corresponding to the under surface of each hoof part and provided 'with n
downwardly directed border 9. Near the outside edge of this bed plate'there are
provided also in the ordinary manner 'nail-holes whilst the fastenings between
the two hoof parts is effected by tongues i introduced from below into the holes

page_text: in the bed plate extending up between the hoof parts and bent over above the
latter as shown in Fig. 5. The fastening with tongues inserted through holes
in the bed plate has the advantage over the use of shoes which are firmly fixed
to the tongues, that the hoof is not solidly fixed with the new shoe by the tongues
so as to prevent its growing by constant & deformatory pressure, moreover,
should the tongue break or have to be taken away or replaced; this can be done
without taking off the shoe.
This new shoe has also the advantage of being produced by stamping, and thus
being easily made, although having great solidity because its borders and pos-
sible bends strengthen the bed plate. In use these shoes afford an excellent sup-
port for the animal on the ground because the border penetrates into the earth
or into uneven places and prevents slipping. Where the lower side of a shoe
forms a straight plane, it is soon ground smooth on a sandy surface so that the
animal will slip especially in wet weather and on clay surfaces.
Shoes with calks offer in such cases no sufficient hold as the working area of the
calks is very small. As with clay surfaces, so also it is with ice in the winter.
But if shoes of the present invention are used such slipping cannot take place
because in both forms the borders afford always sharp treading spaces and present
in vertical direction sufficient working points by which the animal is supported
while penetrating so as to prevent slipping in horizontal direction in all kinds
of surfaces and in every kind of weather with full security.
There is also, with the shoe shown in Figs. 3 to 6 the further advantage that
mal-formations of the hoof can be considered and the bed plate a can be bent in
or outwards and also be vaulted without touching the ground. Vaultings or
doming can be made in the bed plate for the purpose of protecting the hoof
against pressure or, when projecting downwards, to prevent the balling in of
sand, clay, snow and the like.
Vaulting or doming can also be arranged for the purpose of stiffening and
augmenting the solidity of the bed plate.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. Shoes for animals with single or divided hoois consisting of a bed plate a
provided for single loofs with a downwardly directed double border b and c
stiffened by inserted boxes and f; for divided hoofs with a single border y for
the purpose of giving the animal sure trend by the penetrating of the border into
the ground.
2. The fastening of the shoe for divided hoofs by tongues i put from below into
the bed plate a and bent in the known manner above the hoof k for the purpose
of being able to exchange these fastening tongues without taking the shoe off
in case the former have to be taken away or break.
