COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Horse Shoe Frost Stud.
I, JAMES HAYCOCK of 24 Smith Street Darlaston in the County of Stafford
General Smith 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 horse shoe frost studs which are screwed into the shoes
to fix them therein, and has for its object to enable the shank to be readily
removed without removal of the shoe in case the head of a stud is broken off.
A horse shoe frost stud constructed according to this invention has the portion of
the screwed shank (or part which is screwed into the shoe) which is adjacent to the
head formed of a section which, if the head of the stud is broken off, presents an
opening or openings in the exposed end of the shank within which an instrument
may be inserted and used to unscrew the shank.
According to one modification of this invention, the screwed shank is formed
with two opposite indentations or slots which extend from the shoulder of the head
for some distance along the shank. If the head is broken off the two prongs of a
forked instrument may be inserted within the indentations or slots and the shank be
thus unscrewed and so withdrawn from the shoe.
A stud formed with indentations as above described is illustrated by the
accompanying drawings, of which
Figure 1 is an elevation thereof.
Figure 2 a vertical section on line xx of Figure 1, and
Figure 3 a transverse section on line y y of Figure 1 as seen from the
underside.
Figure 4 shews the operative end of a forked instrument for use in unscrewing
the shank in case the head is broken off.
Indents or slots a a are formed opposite to one another in the shank A, and
extend, as shewn, for some distance therealong from the shoulder b of the head B. If
the head is broken off, the exposed portion of the shank presents the appearance
shewn by Figure 3, and the shauk may be unscrewed by inserting the prongs cc of
the instrument C within the indents or slots a a and turning such instrument in a
direction to unscrew the shank.
In lieu of the slots a a, a narrow opening may be formed clear through the shank
(or for a considerable distance inwards from one side), in which case an ordinary
screw driver may be used to withdraw the shank in case it becomes broken in the
shoe. This modification not, however, recommended as it is not considered to be
so good as the modification in which a pair of opposite indentations or slots are
formed in the shank.

page_text: 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. A horse shoe frost stud having a portion of the shank adjacent to the head
formed of a section which if the head is broken off presents an opening or openings
in the exposed end of the shank within which an instrument may be inserted and
used to unscrew the shank, substantially as described..
2. A horse shoe frost. stud having indents or slots formed in the shank or having
an opening formed clear through the shank, (or for a considerable distance, inwards
from one side), substantially as described for the purpose set forth.
