PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Horse Shoes, and Non-slipping
Devices to be Attached or Fixed thereto.
I, ROBERT ABELL of Elm Tree House, Uttoxeter New Road, Derby in the
County of Derby, Engincer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention has for its object the provision of additional means of securing
or fixing non-slipping devices to horse-shoes and relates to that particular form
of device in which a spring plate, segment or curved piece of elastic or resilient
metal or composition carrying studs or calkings to prevent slipping, is sprung on to
the inside bevilled or splayed edge of a horse-shoe.
My present invention consists of serrating, corrugating, notching or otherwise
roughening in any suitable mauner the respective faces of the horse-shoe and non-
slipping device where they bear upon or engage each other so as to reduce to a
minimum the risk of the non-slipping device becoming disengaged in any way from
the horse-shoe.
The said corrugations, serrations, notches or other roughening of the faces of
the horse-shoe and non-slipping device may or may not be assisted with stops,
joggles or projections on the horse-shoe for the heels of the spring plate, segment
or the like to bear against, as desired.

Improvements in and relating to Horse Shoes, and Non-slipping
Devices to be Attached or Fixed thereto.
I, ROBERT ABELL of Elm Tree House, Uttoxeter New Road, Derby in the
County of Derby, Engineer, 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:-
In describing my invention reference will be had to the accompanying sheet of
drawings which will be deemed to form a part of this Specification.
Figure 1 is a plan shewing different applications of my invention.
Figure 2 is a section on line 'a,'-' a of Figure 1.
My invention has for its object the provision of additional means of securing
or fixing non-slipping devices to horse shoes and relates to that particular form
of device in which a spring plate, segment or curved piece of elastic or resilient
metal A or composition carrying studs or calkings B to prevent slipping, is sprung
on to the inside bevilled or splayed edge C of a horse-shoe D.
My present invention consists of serrating, corrugating, notching or otherwise
roughening in any suitable manner the respective faces of the horse shoe D aud

page_text: non-slipping device A where they bear upon or engage each other, so as to reduce
to a minimum the risk of the non-slipping device becoming disengaged in any way
from the horse-shoe.
Different forms of corrugations, serrations, or roughenings are shewn at E, F
and G upon Figure 1 also notches or stops H are shewn at the heels to receive the
ends of the spring ring or the like A and still further prevent any likelihood of the
device becoming detached.
It is evident that without departing from the spirit of my invention I may use
any method of corrugating, serrating, notching or roughening the respective faces
of the horse shoe and non-slipping device where they engage each other either
alone or in combination with the notches or stops H at the heels of the said shoes,
and, that the said serrating, corrugating or other roughening of the said faces
may either pass all round the shoe and non-slipping device or only part way,
as desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is:
-
1. The improvements in and relating to horse shoes and non-slipping devices
therefor, consisting of corrugating serrating or otherwise roughening or notching
the respective faces of the said horse shoes and non-slipping devices where
they engage each other substantially as and for the purposes described and
illustrated.
2. The improvements in and relating to horse shoes and non-slipping devices
therefor consisting of corrugating, serrating or otherwise roughening or notching
the respective faces of the said horse shoes and non-slipping devices where they
engage each other in combination with notches or stops at the heels of the said
shoes substantially as and for the purposes described and illustrated.
Dated this 11th day of October 1895.
