Improvements in the Manufacture of Shoes for Horses and other
Animals.
I ALFRED DEBRY, Manufacturer, of Charleville, Ardennes, in the Republic of France,
do hereby déclare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of shoes for horses and such other
animals as require or use metallic shoes; and it consists in forming such shoes, having
quarters with heel or toe calks, clips, nail holes, and such other projections, depressions,
groovings or the like as may be desired, by first forming blanks having or comprising
such quarters calks and the parts etc. above mentioned and by subsequently bending or
curving such blanks into the desired form in any convenient manner.
To form the finished blanks aforesaid bars or plates of the metal of which the
shoes are to be formed, said bars or plates being of the required thickness and
width and of any convenient length, are rolled between one or more pairs of rollers
the surfaces of which are adapted to press or roll the bar into the form of finished
blanks having the required calks, clips, nail holes, and other requisites, said blanks
being either rolled out separately or connected together by a thin web of metal, in
which latter case they are thereupon cut out from such web.
Where more than one pair of rollers is used, the first pair may form the bar or
plate into a series of rough blanks connected by a thin web, and the other pair
or pairs may finish the rolling of the blanks, each pair of rollers performing a
desired operation or operations by which a finished. blank as above described is finally
produced.

I ALFRED DEBRY, Manufacturer of Charleville, Ardennes in the Republic of France
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 the manufacture of shoes for horses and such other
animals as require or use metallic shoes and it consists in forming such shoes having
quarters with heel or toe calks, clips, nail holes and such other projections, depressions,
groovings or the like as may be dosired by first forming blanks having or comprising
such quarters, calks and the parts etc. . above mentioned and by subsequently
bending or curving such blanks into the desired form in any convenient manner.
To form the finished blanks aforesaid bars or plates of the metal of which the
shoes are to be formed, said bars or plates being of the required thickness and
width and of any convenient length are rolled between one or more pairs of rollers,
the surfaces of which are adapted to press or roll the bar into the form of finished
blanks having the required, calks, clips, nail holes and other requisites said blanks
being either rolled out separately or connected together by a thin web of metal in
which latter case they are thereupon cut out from such web.
Where more than one pair of rollers is used the first pair may form the bar or
plate into a series of rough blanks connected by a thin web and the other pair or
pairs may finish the rolling of the blanks each pair of rollers performing a desired
operation or operations by which a finished blank as above described is finally
produced.
The accompanying drawings show various different modes of assembling the blanks
in the bars or plates in which they are made.
Fig. 1 shows an iron bar rolled into two parallel series of blanks.
Fig. 2 is a cross section thereof on line A B.
Fig. 3 a cross section on line C D.
Fig. 4 a similar manner of assembling blanks of another form.
Fig. 5. being a cross section on line E F.
Fig. 6 a plate or bar formed into a series of partly curved blanks lying one
within the other.
Fig. 7 another series of consecutive partly curved blanks.
Fig. 8 a single blank formed on the length of a bar and having its too, clip on
the outer side formed by a breast on one of the rollers and a cavity in the other.
A represents forged bars or plates, 6 the web left in rolling between the blanks
said web to be cut away as refuse, c the shoes or finished blanks ready to be bent
or curved round to shape, d the toe clips, e holes or recesses formed in the rolling
f heel calks.

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
The process for manufacturing shoes for horses and other animals consisting in
rolling bars or plates into a connected or disconnected series of finished blanks
having too and heel calks, clips, nail holes, or such other reinforcements or depressions
as may be necessary, separating said blanks if connected and subsequently curving
same to shape substantially as set forth.
