PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Shoes for Horses and other Animals.
I, JAKOB WAGENBLAST, of Maitis, near Göppingen, Würtemberg, in the German
Empire, Smith do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to effect improvements in or relating to shoes for
horses and other animals, whereby the same are prevented from slipping and the
means for this purpose are more readily attached or detached than hitherto.
According to my invention, I form the shoe in two parts, the outer being similar
to and fixed in a similar manner to the horse shoes now in common use, and the
inner fitting the interior of the outer part and which is provided with a suitable
number of calks or calkins. The inner portion of the shoe is provided with a
projecting nose which fits in a similarly shaped recess in the side of the outer shoe
next the hoof. The heel ends of both the inner and outer shoes are provided with
screw threaded holes into which screw-tanged calks are screwed thereby securing one
part to the other, the inner part of the shoe being formed with a flange or extended
portion for this purpose.
It will thus be seen that the two portions fit together after the manner of a
dovetail and are secured in place by the screw-tanged calks and the projecting nose.
The outer portion can be used by itself with or without the addition of calks to screw
into the heels.
Improvements in or relating to Shoes for Horses and other Animals.
I, JAKOB WAGENBLAST of Maitis near Göppingen, Würtemberg in the German
Empire Smith, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 my invention is to effect improvements in or relating to shoes for
horses and other animals, whereby the same are prevented from slipping and the
means for this purpose are more readily attached or detached than hitherto.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts.)
Fig. 1 is a plan and Fig. 2 is a sectional side view of the outer portion of the
shoe.
Tie ia ceational and view

page_text: Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are respectively plan sectional side and sectional end views of the
inner portion of the shoe.
Figs. 7, 8 and 9 are similar views of the combined outer and inner portions.
Figs. 10, and 11 are respectively front and side views of a calk formed with
screwed tangs.
According to my invention, I form the shoe in two parts A, B, the outer A being
similar to and fixed in a similar manner to the horse shoes now in common use, and
the inner B fitting the interior of the outer part and which is provided with a suitable
number of calks or calkins E, F.
The inner portion of the shoe is provided with a projecting nose C which fits in a
similarly shaped recess D in the side of the outer shoe next the hoof.
The heel ends of both the inner and outer shoes are provided with screw threaded
holes H H¹into which screw-tanged calks F, are screwed thereby securing one part
to the other, the inner part of the shoe being formed with a flange or extended
portion G for this purpose.
It will thus be seen that the two portions fit together after the manner of a dovetail
and are secured in place by the screw-tanged calks, and the projecting nose.
The outer portion can be used by itself with or without the addition of calks to
screw into the heels.
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 is
1. The improvements in or relating to shoes for horses and other animals.
2. In shoes for horses and other animals, the combination of an outer portion A
capable of being used as a shoe, with an inner portion B provided with a fixed calk E
and screw calks F, the whole constructed and arranged in the manner substantially
as herein before described and shown by the drawings.
3. In shoes for horses and other animals the method of and means for attaching
calks to the shoes, substantially as set forth.
