Improvements in Rougning Horse-smoes.
I, JAMES CLINCH, of Bicknor, near Sittingbourne, in the County of Kent,
Farmer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved apparatus and method of applying roughs
to horse shoes.
At each
The apparatus is provided with a metallic T piece the shank acting as a male
screw, and on the male screw is passed a plate with a hole in the centre.
end of the said plate is rivetted a curved plate or arm each end of which is turned
downwards at right angles with sharp edges. The sharp edges are intended to
grip or cut into the frozen ground in order to give a horse a firm footing.
Adjoining one end of each of the curved plates or arms is rivetted a stud pin.
This roughing can be put on by first cleaning out the horses foot then slip the
head of the T piece under the shoe just in front of the frog, slip down the plate
with the curved arms over the male screw of T piece, and secure the same by a nut
tightly screwed up with a wrench or other tool. The roughing can be removed by
unscrewing the nut when the apparatus will fall off or slide out from beneath the
horse shoe.
The horse shoe requires two small holes drilled or punched for the purpose of
receiving the stud pins of the rough.

Improvements in Roughing Horse-shoes.
I, JAMES CLINCH, of Bicknor, near Sittingbourne, in the County of Kent,
Farmer, 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 :-
My invention relates to in roughing. horse-shoes.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a view of the bottom of the horse shoe and roughs.
Fig. 2, is a vertical section on line A. B.
Fig. 3, is a view of the top of the horse shoe and roughs.
The apparatus is provided with a metallic T piece a the shank 6 acting as a
male screw, and on the male screw is passed a plate c with a hole in the centre.
At each end of the said plate is rivetted a curved plate or arm d each end of which
is turned downwards at right angles with sharp edges e. The sharp edges are
intended to grip or cut into the frozen ground in order to give a horse a firm
footing. Adjoining one end of each of the curved plates or arms d is rivetted a
stud pin f.
This roughing can be put on by first cleaning out the horses foot then slip the
head of the T piece a under the shoe g just in front of the frog, slip down the plate
with the curved arms over the male screw of T piece, and secure the same by a

page_text: nut tightly screwed up with a wrench or other tool. The roughing can be
removed by unscrewing the nut h when the apparatus will fall off or slide out from
beneath the horse shoe.
The horse shoe requires two small holes i drilled or punched for the purpose of
receiving the stud pins f of the roughs as in Fig. 3.
If preferable the T piece a may be of any other shape than that shown on the
drawing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In roughs for horse shoes, the combination of the curved plates d, d, with the
sharp edges e turned down at right angles with the plate c, substantially as herein
described and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In roughs for horse shoes, the combination of the curved plate or T piece a
with the shank to receive the plate c, substantially as herein described and
according to the accompanying drawing.
3. In roughs for horse shoes, the combination of the curved plates and sharp
edges to engage with frozen or hard ground, fixed to a plate and bolted by a nut to
the T piece and attached to the shoe by stud pins in holes i, substantially as
herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
