An Improved Pad for Horse Shoes.
I, AUGUST BUER, of Nordstrasse, Hannover, in the Province of Hannover,
German Empire, Inventor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The object of the present invention is an antislipping pad for horse shoes
which easily can be attached to or removed from the same.
Hitherto especial shoes were necessary when pads were to be applied and it
was rather a troublesome procedure to replace an old pad by a new one.
The
object of the present invention is to provide a pad which, when cut into proper
form, might be applied to or removed from horse shoes of any kind and size
without a blacksmith being necessary as hitherto was the case.
I attain this object by providing an ordinary pad with an elastic clamp having
lateral flaps. This pad after being cut into proper form with the clamp is pressed
into the horse shoe until some of the flaps come to lie underneath the horse
shoe thereby effecting the fixing of the pad.
My invention will be the better understood with reference to the accompanying
drawing, in which
Figure illustrates an elevation of the padded horse shoe.
Figure 2 a vertical section through the same, the hoof being indicated by
dotted lines.
Figure 3 a view of the shoed hoof, the shoe being illustrated in end view, the
pad in vertical section and the hoof by dotted lines.
Figure 4 an elevational view of the pad provided with the clamp and
Figure 5 represents a transverse section through the same.
In the drawing B illustrates an ordinary horse shoe, C is a pad made preferably
from cork and cut into a form corresponding to the inner form of the horse shoe.
This pad is surrounded by a clamp B₁ of same form being provided at one side
with lateral flaps a and at the other side with flaps a¹. On the lower ends of
the clamp or more precisely on the back ends of the same small holes a are pro-
vided into which are inserted a pair of tongs when the pad is to be fixed in the
shoe.
In order to fix the pad, the same by means of a pair of tongs introduced into
the holes a°, is pressed somewhat together and pushed into the horse shoe so
that the flaps a come to lie underneath the same. The pair of tongs then are
removed and the clamp as well as the pad owing to their elasticity expand and
press against the horse shoe, thereby the flaps press from the inside and the
flaps a from the outside against the shoe and the pad is fixed.
Dated this 19th day of October 1899.

what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and as-
certained in and by the following statement:-

Hitherto especial shoes were necessary when pads were to be applied and it

object of the present invention is to provide a pad which, when cut into proper
form, might be applied to or removed from horse shoes of any kind and size

I attain this object by providing an ordinary pad with an elastic clamp having
lateral flaps. This pad after being cut into proper form with the clamp is pressed
into the horse shoe until some of the flaps come to lie underneath the horse
shoe thereby effecting the fixing of the pad.
My invention will be the better understood with reference to the drawing
filed with the Provisional Specification in which,
Figure 1 illustrates an elevation of the padded horse shoe.
Figure 2 a vertical section through the same, the hoof being indicated by
dotted lines.
Figure 3 is a view of the shoed hoof, the shoe being illustrated in end view, the
pad in vertical section and the hoof by dotted lines.
Figure 4 an elevational view of the pad provided with the clamp and
Figure 5 represents a transverse section through the same.
In the drawing B illustrates an ordinary horse shoe, C is a pad made preferably
from cork and cut into a form corresponding to the inner form of the horse shoe.
This pad is surrounded by a clamp B¹ of same form being provided at one side
with lateral flaps a and at the other side with flaps a¹. On the lower ends of
the clamp or more precisely on the back ends of the same small holes are pro-
vided into which are inserted a pair of tongs when the pad is to be fixed in the
shoe.
In order to fix the pad, the same by means of a pair of tongs introduced into
the holes, is pressed somewhat together and pushed into the horse shoe so
that the flaps a come to lie underneath the same. The pair of tongs then are
removed and the clamp as well as the pad owing to their elasticity expand and
press against the horse shoe, thereby the flaps press from the inside and the
flaps a from the outside against the shoe and the pad is fixed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is—
First: In horse-shoes having anti-slipping pads, the employment of a supple-
mentary and independent carrier or attachment clamp, which directly confines
the pad and is then forced into the horse shoe and is there retained by suitable
means, substantially as herein described, and also as set forth in the accompanying
drawing.
Secondly-In horse-shoes having anti-slipping pads, the combination with a
pad such as C, of an attachment clamp such as B', of a form corresponding to

page_text: that of the pad, having lateral flaps, such as a, a, for retaining the clamp to the
horse shoe when in position, substantially as herein described and also as set
forth in the accompanying drawing.
