Improvements in Shoes for Horses and other Hoofed Animals.
We, CHARLES JAMES JUTSON, of Ingleside, York Road, West Norwood, in the
County of Surrey, Gentleman, and FREDERICK ABRAHAM POUPARD, of Fairview,
Christchurch Road, in the County of Surrey, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to nail-less shoes for horses or other hoofed animals, and
consists of a special construction of shoe and means of attachment of the said shoe to
the hoof as hereinafter described.
We construct the shoe with a tread provided with one or more pillars securely
attached to, or part of the outside edge of the shoe.
We provide also a stud or studs upon the inner edge or tread of the shoo which by
being recessed into the under part of the hoof, will serve to prevent the shoe slipping
upon the hoof.
To secure the shoe to the hoof we employ wedges or set-screws or equivalent
means for producing a tightening effect between the aforesaid pillars and the external
face of the hoof.
We may introduce between the aforesaid wedge, wedges or set screws and the hoof,
a band, bands or strips of any suitable materials, which may be attached to or form
part of the aforesaid pillar or pillars, the said wedge, wedges or set-screws re-acting
between the pillar and strips to produce the aforesaid tightening effect.
By the tightening effect thus produced, we force the hoof home upon the tread of
the shoe aud upon the stud or studs thereon and secure it safely in that position.
We secure the wedges before referred to or the set screws in such a way as to
prevent their jarring back, by any known arrangement, such as in the case of the
wedge, serrations on the face against which the wedge works with a spring edge, and
in the case of the set screw with a locking nut as already well known. If more than
one pillar be used, we may connect their upper ends by a band.

page_text: We may employ a cap or cap: of suitable material over the said studs on the tread
where they enter the recess or recesses in the hoof or strips of suitable matorial within
the said recesses.
We
may
also fit a toe spring on the inside bottom edge of the too or other pillar if
found desirable.

Improvements in Shoes for Horses and other Hoofed Animals.
We, CHARLES JAMES JUTSON, of Ingleside, York Road, West Norwood, in the

nature of this invention and the manner in which the same is to ho porformed to bo
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention relates to nail-less shoes for horses or other hoofed animals, and
consists of a special construction of shoe and means of attachment of the said shoe to
the hoof as hereinafter described.
In order that our invention may be the better understood, we now proceed to
describe the same with regard to the accompanying sheet of drawings, reference
being had to the letters and figures marked theroon. Like letters refer to like parts
throughout the drawings.
Figures 1 and 2 show in elevation and section our shoe with serrated wedge.
Figures 3 and 4 show in elovation and section our shoe with bolt and spring.
Figures 5 and 6 show in elevation and section our shoe with bands.
We construct the shoe with a tread A, provided with one or more pillars B, securely
attached to or solid with the outside edge of the shoe.
We provide also a stud or studs Cupon the inner edge of the shoe, which, by
being recessed into the under part of the hoof, will serve to prevent the shoe slipping
upon the hoof.
To secure the shoe to the hoof we employ wodges D or set screws or equivalent
means for producing a tightening effect between the aforesaid pillars and the external
face of the hoof.
We may introduce between the aforesaid wedge, wedges or set screws and the hoof
a band, bands, or strips F, of any suitable material, which may be attached to or

page_text: form part of the aforesaid pillar or pillars; the said wodge, wedges or set screws
re-acting between the pillar and strips to produce the aforesaid tightening effect.
By the said tightening effect thus produced we force the hoof home upon the shoe,
and upon the studs thereon and secure it in position.
We secure the wedges, before referred to, or the set screws in such a way as to
prevent their jarring back, by any known arrangement, such as, in the case of the
wedge, serrations, as in Figures 1, 2, & 6 on the face against which the wodge works
with a spring edge; and, in the case of the set screw, Figures 3 & 4, with a locking
nut as already well known.
If more than one pillar be used, we may connect their upper ends by a band.
Again we may employ one or more caps of suitable material over the said studs on
the shoe, where they enter the recess or recesses in the hoof, or strips of suitable
material within the said recosses.
We may also fit a toe spring G on the inside bottom edge of the toe pillar or
otherwise if found desirable.
Having now fully described and ascertained the nature and objects of our invention,
we declare that what we claim is :-
The alternative combination in a shoe for horses and other hoofed animals, of a
tread plate, pillar or pillars, and locking device or devices, substantially as and for the
