page_text: We, CHARLES JAMES JUTSON, of Ingleside, York Road, West Norwood, in the
County of Surrey, Gentleman, and FREDERICK ABRAHAM POUPARD, of 286 Cold-
harbour Lane, Brixton, in the County of Surrey, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to shoes of the type specified in our provisional specification
filed the 19th of November 1886 No. 15059 and it is designed to effect certain
improvements therein or in any other shoes where they would be desirable.
Whereas in our said specification we specify that we secure a shoe frame to the
hoof by a band or bands of light steel or other suitable material passing over or
secured to the extremities of a high front projecting tongue clip or clips, and brought
back so as to be securely attached at each end at the rear of the hoof to points as near
as possible to the upper edge of the heel of the shoe, and that this point of attachment
of the ends of the band to the heel of the shoe is of importance as it must be close
down to the upper edge of the shoe to prevent the heel of the shoe from dropping
from the hoof as a cranked lever, to which it tends to be liable if the point of
attachment be too high above the shoe.
Now our present invention is designed to prevent this dropping by other means,
and it consists in forming the tread plate of the shoe frame with interior projecting
stud or studs, tooth or teeth, which imbed themselves in the hoof, and thus prevent
any movement; or a pair of internal studs may be formed at the back ends of the
tread plate, which will bear against the interior of the hoof. Or, equivalently, we
may form the hook with recesses, and the shoe frame with one or more internal bars
or projections of any form, to engage therein, and prevent movement; or the upper
surface of the tread plate of the shoe frame may be formed with serrations or ribs, or
roughed file-fashion. Or, again, we may form the tread plate of the shoe frame of a
horizontal V section, and cut the hoof of the horse to fit same, which will have the
desired effect.
Though we have specified this improvement particularly in respect of a single type
of shoe, yet it might be applicable to other types, especially those designed to dispense
with nails, and in any equivalent method, so that the undesirable movement of the
shoe may be prevented.

Improvements in Shoes for Horses or other Hoofed Animals.
We, CHARLES JAMES JUTSON, of Ingleside, York Road, West Norwood, in the
County of Surrey, Gentleman, and FREDERICK ABRAHAM POUPARD, of 286 Cold-
barbour Lane, Brixton, in the County of Surrey, Manufacturer do hereby declare the
nature of this Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particulary described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Our invention relates to shoes of the type described in the specification as Palented
to us under No. 15059 and dated the 19th of November 1886 and it is designed to
effect certain improvements therein or in any other nailless shoes where they would
be desirable.
Whereas in our said Specification we specify that we secure the shoe frame to the
hoof by a band or bands of light steel, or other suitable material, passing over, or
secured to the extremities of a high front projecting tongue, clip or clips, and brought
back so as to be securely attached at each end at the rear of the hoof to points as near
as possible to the upper edge of the heel of the shoe, and that this point of attachment
of the ends of the bands to the heel of the shoe is of importance, as it must be close
down to the upper edge of the shoe to prevent the heel of the shoe from dropping
from the hoof as a cranked lever, to which it would tend to be liable if the point of
attachment be too high above the shoe.
Now our present invention is designed to prevent this dropping or sliding of the
hoof upon the upper tread of the shoe by other means, and it consists in forming the
tread plate of the shoe frame with interior projecting stud or studs, tooth or teeth,
which are caused to embed in the hoof and thus prevent any movement. Or a pair of
internal studs may be formed at the back ends of the tread plate which will bear
against the back interior of the hoof.
Or equivalently, we may form the hoof with recesses, and the shoe frame with one
or more internal bars or projections of any form to engage therein and prevent
movement. Or, the upper surface of the tread plate of the shoe frame may be formed
with serrations or ribs. Or, again, we may form the tread plate of the shoe frame of
a borizontal V section, and cut the hoof of the horse to fit the same, which will have
the desired effect.
In order that our invention may be the better understood we now proceed to
describe the same, in relation to the drawings hereunto annexed, reference being had
to the letters and figures marked thereon. Like letters refer to like parts throughout
the drawings.
Figure 1. shows our nailless shoe fixed in position on the hoof of the horse.
Figure 2. is a general plan of the same with the hoof and one band removed.
Figures 3. 4. 5 and 6. are plan views of the face of the tread plate provided with
various equivalent modifications of the tread studs, serrations, or internal projections,
to prevent the slipping of the hoof backwards upon the tread plate.
A. is the tread plate, B the toe pillar, C the tension straps, as described in our

page_text: former specification. Upon the tread plate A, we fix projecting internal studs D in
various equivalent and modified forms of shape and position, as shown in the various
figures. The studs may be fitted in any convenient form to the shoe tread, otherwise
than in the method shown. We may also with advantage use serrations E upon the
internal tread of the shoe, so cut as to prevent, by their grip on the under face of the
hoof, the hoof from slipping back. Or, we may multiply the internal projecting stud
into an internal bar F, projecting on the upper tread of the shoe plate, and which,
when recessed into, or fitting into, the recess of the hoof serves the same purpose of
preventing the back slip of the hoof.
-
Though we have specified this improvement particularly in respect of a single type
of shoe, yet it might be applicable to other types, especially those designed to dispense
with nails, and in any equivalent method, so that the undesirable tendency to slip of
the hoof upon the shoe is prevented without departing from the nature of our
invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1st. In a nailless shoe the construction of the tread plate of such a shoe with a
projecting stud or studs of truncated form and without a sharp point upon the surface
of the tread plate, and which are embedded or recessed into the under surface of the
hoof to prevent backward slip, substantially as described.
2nd. In a nailless shoe the equivalent construction of the tread plate of such a shoe
with one or a series of ridges or serrations upon the surface of the tread plate, and
which are embedded or recessed into the under surface of the hoof to prevent
backward slip, substantially as described.
3rd. The combination in a nailless shoe of a tread plate, constructed as claimed in
claims Nos. 1. and 2. with a toe pillar, and tension bands and attachments therefor,
substantially as described.
