COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Shoe suitable for Horses and other Animals suffering
from Diseased Hoofs.
I, JAMES BURCHETT of Laleham in the County of Middlesex 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: -
The object of this Invention is to provide a means whereby the hoofs of horses
and other animals may be readily dressed when diseased without removing the
shoes.
According to this Invention I form the shoe with a rebate on the underside thereof
inside the nail holes, and into this rebated portion I fit a plate of metal or other
suitable material, and secure the said plate to the shoe by means of screws or other
suitable fastenings.
To dress a diseased hoof it is only necessary to remove the said plate, apply the
dressing to the diseased portion of the hoof, and replace the plate, the whole of which
operation may be performed without removing the shoe.
And in order that my said Invention may be the better understood, I will proceed to
explain the same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1
represents view of underside of a horseshoe, constructed according to my Invention,
and Fig. 2. section of same, on line A B, Fig. 1. The same letters denote the same
parts in both Figs. a is the shoe, having a rebate b all round, c is the removable
plate, fitting the rebated portion of the shoe a, and secured thereto by means of the
screws d. e. f.
When a diseased hoof has to be dressed the screws d e f are taken out, the plate c
removed, the dressing applied to the diseased portion of the hoof, after which the said
plate and screws are replaced, the entire operation being performed without removing
the shoe as hereinbefore stated: thus avoiding the risk of injury to the hoof caused
by frequent removal of ordinary shoes for this purpose.

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 :-
I. In a shoe for horses and other animals the detachable plate c secured thereto by
screws def, or their equivalent for the purpose stated.
11. The improved shoe for horses and other animals substantially as described and
