PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Shoeing and Roughing Horses.
CHARLES SELLMAN TOMLIN 21 Capland Street, Lisson Grove Marylebone,
London, N.W. Farrier, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to prevent Horses or other animals from slipping and
for ordinary purposes being an improvement on Patent No. 4508 granted to me
dated November 5th A.D. 1879.
For this purpose I make a screw stud of steel Iron or other suitable metal. The
head being from about a quarter of an inch to two inches in depth or thereabouts.
The shoulder of this screw stud may be either round or square, and a chisel pointed or
other spike form its head, but in some cases the head may be square, instead of
spiked, a hole is punched or drilled in any part of the shoe as may be required, and
through which the stem of the screw stud is passed from the under to the upper
side and is there fixed by a nut or otherwise.
To carry out this part of my invention instead of making mortices in the shoc as
in my former patent, 1 make a mortice or slot in the Horses Foot, to receive the nut
after the shoe has been fixed, so that the spikes may be secured thereto as before
mentioned.

CHARLES SELLMAN TOMLIN, 21 Capland Street, Lisson Grove, Marylebone
London, N.W. 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
and for ordinary purposes, being an improvement on Patent No. 4508 granted to me
and dated November 5th 1879.
For this purpose I make a screw stud of Steel Iron, or other suitable metal, the
shoulder of this screw stud may be either round or square and a chisel pointed or
other spike form its head.
But in some cases the head may be square instead of spiked. A hole is punched or
drilled in any part of the shoe as may be required and through which the stem of the
screw stud is passed from the upper to the under side and is fixed by a nut. To carry
out this part of my invention instead of making mortices in the shoe as in my former
patent I make a mortice or slot in the horses foot to receive the nut after the shoe has
been fixed, so that the spikes or calks may be screwed thereto as before mentioned.
Fig. 1 is a side Elevation of shoe fixed to Horse's foot, a, is the shoe b the calking
fixed to the shoe by means of the screw nut c, that is screwed on to the shank of the
calking b, d is the recess in the Horses foot morticed out for the purpose of holding
the nut and to prevent it from turning.
Fig. 2, is an underside view of shoe fixed to Horse's foot a, the shoe 6, the calking.
Fig. 3, is a side Elevation of shoe fixed to Horses foot with calking removed a,
the
shoe d, recess in Horses foot.

Fig. 4, is a vertical section of side of shoe a, the shoe the calking b¹, the screwed
shank of calking c, the screw nut.

calkings the screw, nut.
Figs. 6. 7. 8. are calkings of various sizes and shapes, 6 the calkings b¹ the screwed
shank, c. the screwed nut.
Having thus fully described my said invention and the manner of performing the
same I wish it to be understood that I do not claim as my invention the providing of
a horse shoe with calks studs or other protecting pieces irrespective of the peculiar
and novel means of fixing the same on the shoe in such a manner as to allow the said
calks or studs to be removed or replaced without taking the shoe from the foot. But
I claim
First. A Horse shoe with heel studs or calks secured thereto by nuts in mortices or
reccesses cut or filed in the crust or insensible part of the animals foot substantially as
set forth and for the purpose specified.
Second. A Horse shoe provided with heel studs or calks and with one or more side
or front studs or calks all of which are secured to the shoe by means of nuts in mortices
or reccesses cut or filed in the crust or insensible part of the animals foot substantially
as and for the purpose specified.
