page_text: I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Fum of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
40, Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows;-
-
In horse shoes as hither to made, the toe caulk is usually formed by welding on
a special plece This method, however, possesses considerable disadvantages
The welding on of this piece requires skill on the part of the operative and renders
the formation of the horse shoe to size very difficult The difhculty increases
with the size of the toe caulk to be welded on.
This invention, however, affords a means of manufacturing the toe caulk of
hoise shoes without the necessity for welding by very simple means by which
the formation of the horse shoe to size is greatly facilitated. As by this method
the toe caulk is formed in one piece with the shoe, greater stiength 18 obtained
and likewise the advantage of being able to form the points as large as deaned
The hose shoe bar is turned down at an angle of 900 at the place where the
toe caulk 18 to be formed, in such a manner that the shoe 18 nariower at that
place, the projecting point being formed by the tuned down high edge
This method of manufacture also results in the formation of a horse shoe of
improved shape and in a diminution of weight, it likewise facilitates the bending
operation
The sponges or heel caulks of the shoe can also be formed in the same manner
as the toe caulk.
The bar or blank 18 an ordinary iron bar having the middle portion turned
down at an angle of 90° for the purpose of forming the toe caulk, for which
opciation special machines may be employed. The middle portion of toe caulk is
then pressed down, by stamping or in any other suitable manner, so that the upper
side of the bar again forms a straight line Finally the shoe 18 bent into the
proper form in the known manner
As the bending of the shoe takes place transversely to the narrow side of the
toe caulk, the bending is more easily effected than when the middle of the shoe
1s of the full breadth of the bai, especially as the middle portion or toe caulk 18
situated where the bend is greatest, and where moreover, no inconsiderable amount
of forging has to be performed. The point or toe caulk may be made as large
as possible; the formation of the shoe is even facilitated when the toe caulk 18
made as long as possible
The two operations of turning down the toe caulk and stamping the same above
described may be combined so as to form but one operation It would also be
possible to form the toe caulk in the manner above descubed by means of turning
down and pressing, after the bending of the shoe has been effected

page_text: In a modified form of hoise-shoe not only the toe caulk but also the sponges
or heel caulks are formed by turning down the bar from which the shoe is pio-
duced.

I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Fum of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
45, Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the
18 to be performed
nature of this invention and in what manner the same
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement;-
In horse shoes as hitherto made, the toe caulk is usually formed by welding on
a special piece. This method, however, possesses considerable disadvantages
The welding of thus piece requues skill on the part of the operative and renders
the formation of the horse suoe to size very difhcult. The difficulty increases
with the size of the toe caulk to be welded on.
This invention, however, affords a means of manufacturing the toe caulk of
hoiso shoes without the necessity for welding by very simple means, by which
the formation of the horse shoe to size is greatly facilitated. As by this method
the toe caulk 18 formed in one piece with the shoe, greater strength is obtained
and likewise the advantage of being able to form the caulks as large as desned.
T'he horse shoe bar is tuined down at an angle of 90° at the place where the
toe caulk 18 to be formed, in such a manner that the shoe is narrower at that
place, the projecting point being formed by the tuned down high edge
This method of manufacture also results in the formation of a horse shoe of
improved shape and in a diminution of weight; it likewise facilitates the bending
operation
The sponges or heel caulks of the shoe can also be formed in the same manner
as the toe caulk.
Refering to the accompanying sheet of drawings
Figure 1 to 4 shew the formation of a horse shoe having a caulk formed by
tuning down the material, and
Figures 5 to 8 shew a horse shoe in which both the caulk and the sponges are
formed in the same manner.
The bar or blank Figure 1 is an ordinary non bar
In Figure 2 the middle portion t 18 shewn turned down at an angle of 900
for the purpose of forming the toe caulk, for which operation machines of any
suitable kind may be employed. The middle portion or toe caulk is then pressed
down, as shown in Figure 3, by stamping or in any other suitable manner, so
that the upper side of the bar again forms a straight line. Finally the shoe is
bent into the proper form illustrated in Figure 4 in the known manner.
As the bending of the shoe takes place transveisely to the narrow side of the
toe caulk, the bending is more easily effected than when the middle of the
shoe is of the full breadth of the bar s, especially as the middle portion or toe
caulk t 18 situated where the bend is greatest, and where moreover, no incon-
siderable amount of forging has to be performed. The point or toe caulk may
be made as large as possible; the formation of the shoe is even facilitated when
the toe caulk is made as long as possible.
The two operations illustrated in Figure 2 and 3 may be combined so as to form

page_text: but one operation It would also be possible to form the toe caulk in the manner
above described by means of turning down and pressing after the bending of the
shoe has been effected
In the house shoe illustrated in Figures 5 to 8 not only the toe caulk but also
the sponges or heel caulks uu are formed by turning down the bar from which
the shoe 18 produced.
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 18-
1. A horse shoe having its front caulk produced by bending the ion, either
before or after the shaping into a horse shoe, at its middle portion t to an angle
of 90 degrees (z.e edgewise) and then pressing it down so far as to cause the
caulk to appear on the under side of the horse-shoe
2 A hoise shoe as set forth in Claim 1 in which the rear caulks (u u) Figure 8
are produced in the same manner as above described.
