PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Frost Studs for Roughing Horse Shoes.
I, JOHN HILL of Vicarage Road Lye near Stourbridge in the County of
Worcester Blacksmith and Bucket Ear Maker do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The objects of this invention are to improve the constructive details of self
fitting removable frost studs, cogs, or spikes, as used for roughing horse shoes, and
to facilitate rapid removal or change of studs which are made in various sizes
from in. to in., and are made either flat, round, oval square (triangular) or any
other shape as desired (preferably square) and tapered to fit into corresponding
parallel holes, punched specially to receive them, through the entire thickness of
the shoe and which are fitted in the toes and heels.
The studs, or cogs are made from steel, iron, or composition the body of which
at the bottom of the shank, or taper projection which fits into the shoe is made
with two shoulders - the first shoulder or collar extends all round the shank, and
takes a rigid bearing against the face of the shoe, thus ensuring the stability of the
stud, and entirely obviates the tilting of the same.
The second shoulder or flange is used for the purpose of extracting the stud or
cog from the shoe.
The stud or cog when driven into the shoe, leaves a space between the second
shoulder or flange, and the shoe, into which a jemmy or chisel pointed instrument
is inserted to prize out the stud, or cog, the shoe itself forming the fulcrum.
The construction is durable and may be used to all constructions of frost studs,
cogs, or spikes.
The time saved in removing worn studs, and substuting new ones is considerable
owing to the facility afforded, by the fulcrum available on all sides of the stud.
The sectional character also of the stud renders it much stronger than the niched
or slotted studs hitherto in use.

Improvements in Frost Studs for Roughing Horse Shoes.
I JOHN HILL, of Vicarage Road, Lye, near Stourbridge in the County of
Worcester, Blacksmith and Bucket Ear Maker, 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 objects of this invention are to improve the constructive details of self fitting
removable frost studs, cogs, or spikes, as used for roughing horse shoes. And also
to facilitate rapid removal or change of studs, the shanks of which are made in
various sizes from inch to inch and are made flat, round, oval, square, triangular,
or any other shape as desired, (preferably square) and tapered to fit into corre-
sponding parallel holes punched specially to receive them, through the entire
thickness of the shoe, and which may be fitted in the toes and heels. The studs or
cogs are made of steel, iron, or composition, the body of which at the bottom of the
shank or taper projection A, Fig. 1, which fits into the shoe, is made with two
shoulders B and C, the first shoulder or collar B extends all round the shank A as
shewn in the accompanying drawing, and takes a rigid bearing on the face of the
Price d

page_text: shoe, and thus ensures the stability of the stud and entirely obviates the tilting of
the same.
The second shoulder or flange C, is used for the purpose of extracting the stud
or cog from the shoe. The stud or cog when driven into the shoe, leaves a space
between the second shoulder or flange C, and the shoe into which a jemmy or chisel
pointed instrument is inserted to prize out the stud, the shoe itself forming the
fulcrum.
+
The heads D of the studs, may be made either chisel point Fig. 1. spear Fig. 2.
blunt Fig. 3. or any shape as desired.
The construction of the stud with shoulder, is more durable and easier to extract
than those hitherto in use, and is applicable to all kinds of frost studs, cogs, or
blunts.
Much time is saved by the use of studs, with shoulder or rib extending from the
centre or corner of the shank A to the outer edge of the flange C, in extracting
worn cogs and substituting new ones, owing to the facility afforded by the fulcrum
available on all sides of the shank.
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
1st. The novelty of the said shoulders or ribs, forged or fitted to the various
frost cogs, studs, or blunts, as before described.
2nd. The use of the said shoulders or ribs and flange for the purpose of extraction,
as herein before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
Dated this 11th day of April 1893.
JOHN HILL.
