PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
New or Improved Method and Means for Roughing Horse Shoes to
Prevent Slipping.
I, THOMAS MOORE of 4, Broad Street Ramsgate, Smith do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
My invention relates to a new or improved method of roughing horse shoes and
has for its object to provide roughing studs that can be readily attached and
removed when necessary and which will effectually prevent slipping and not be so
liable to break off as those hitherto used.
In carrying my invention into practice, I form a cylindrical stud, hollowed out
in the centre, and furnished with slots so as to divide the outer periphery of the
stud to about half its depth into two, three, or more teeth in order to afford a
better grip to the horses foot when travelling over frosty or slippery roads. This
stud is centrally perforated in order that it may be attached by means of short
screws which pass through same and enter screw-threaded holes formed in the horse
shoe for that purpose.
I do not restrict muself to the number of studs used but four will usually be
found sufficient, two placed towards the front and one on either side of the shoe,
and in order to prevent the horse from damaging or hurting himself as is some-
times the case I prefer to place one of the studs furnished with two teeth only, on
the inner side of the shoe.
These studs can be readily removed when not required and in case of the horse
shoe becoming worn a piece of string can be wound around the screw or a
leather washer can be placed between the stud and the shoe in order to bring
it to the required height, and thus prevent the screw, by means of which it is
attached, from entering too far in the screw-threaded hole in the horse shoe and
damaging the horse's foot.
Owing to the form of my improved roughing stud it will be readily seen that
should one of the teeth become more worn than the others the stud can be turned
round and the other teeth brought into use.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
New or Improved Method and Means for Roughing Horse Shoes to
Prevent Slipping.
I, THOMAS MOORE of 4, Broad Street, Ramsgate, Smith and Farrier, 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 a new or improved method of roughing horse shoes and
has for its object to provide roughing studs that can be readily attached and
removed when necessary, and which will effectually prevent slipping and not be so
liable to break off as those hitherto used.
In carrying my invention into practice, I form a cylindrical stud, hollowed out

page_text: stud to about half its depth, into two, three, or more teeth, in order to afford a
better grip to the horse's foot when travelling over frosty or slippery roads. These
studs are centrally perforated in order that they may be attached by means of
short screws which pass through same and enter screw threaded holes formed in the
horse shoe for that purpose.
I do not restrict myself to the number of studs used but four will usually be
found sufficient, two placed towards the front and one on either side of the shoe,
and in order to prevent the horse from damaging or hurting himself as is some-
times the case,
prefer to place one of the studs furnished with two teeth only, on
the inner side of the shoe.
These studs can be readily removed when not required and in case of the horse
shoe becoming worn a piece of string can be wound around the screw or a
leather washer can be placed between the stud and the shoe in order to bring
it to the required height, and thus prevent the screw, by means of which it is
attached, from entering too far in the screw-threaded hole in the horse shoe and
damaging the borse's foot.
Owing to the form of my improved roughing stud it will be readily seen that
should one of the teeth become more worn than the others the stud can be turned
round and the other teeth brought into use, and owing to the screw by means of
which the roughing stud is attached, being much smaller than those hitherto
employed for that purpose, it will not weaken the shoe.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a plan of a horse-shoe with the roughing studs attached, and Fig. 2
shows four views of the stud, a being a plan, 6 an underside view, c a side view, and
d a central section.
My improved roughing calk consists of the cylindrical studs furnished with
projections p, the said stud being furnished with a central perforation p¹ in order
that it may be attached to the horse-shoe by means of the screw s¹ which
enters a screw threaded recess formed in the horse shoe, the top of the
perforation p being counter-sunk in order that the head of the screw may lie
flat therein.
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 :-
The new or improved roughing stud substantially as herein described and shown,
and for the purpose set forth.
