A New Means of Roughing Horses and other Animals.
I JOSEPH BRÜNER of No. 6 Charlton Terrace, New Charlton, Kent, Cabinet
Maker, 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 :-
This invention relates to a new means of rough shodding horses and other draught
animals and has for its object to ensure a perfectly safe footing for the animal,
however much covered with ice may be the ground on which it has to tread.
In carrying out my invention I clamp by means of a screw and lock nut, a steel
piece of peculiar shape on the toe end of the horse's shoe. The under part of this
clamp piece is provided in front with one or more sharp or chisel shaped projections
or spurs, which catch or bite in the ground and thus obtain a firm hold.
And in order that my invention may be better understood, I have shewn the same
in the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a side view of a horse shoe furnished
with such steel piece ;
Fig. 2 being a plan thereof. Fig. 3 is a modification shewing a steel piece with
two chisel shaped projections or spurs. Like letters of reference indicate corre-
sponding parts in the drawings.
H is a horse shoe to which is fixed by means of the screws and the lock nut n the
steel piece or appendage A having a chisel shaped projection or spur e as shewn in
Fig. 1. The toe end of the shoe H is placed over the front curved end'o of the said
steel piece and locked in that position by the screw s bearing against the back of the
toe end as shewn.
This screw has a small point projecting from its thread and when this point has
made a hole in the end the edge of the thread bears directly upon such end and
still secures the steel piece in position.
The steel piece A shewn in Fig. 3 has two chisel shaped projections or spurs c c¹,
being otherwise fixed to the shoe in the same manner as above described with
reference to Figs. 1 and 2.
:.
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:
The improved steel piece or appendage, applicable to the shoes of horses and other
draught animals for rough shodding the same, provided with one or two chisel
shaped projections or spurs substantially as and for the purpose described.
Dated this 10th day of October 1888.
