PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Toe-plate and Heel-piece for Roughing Horse Shoes.
I, HENRY WOOLDRIDGE of Bromley Road, Lye near Stourbridge in the
County of Worcester Horse Nail and Horse Shoe Manufacturer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It consists of an improved self fitting removable toeplate or toeplates and an
improved heelpiece or caulking.
In the toeplates the shank part that fits into the shoe-having nearly parallel
sides with V shaped ends (as A. A. Figure 1) fitting into a slot or slots in the toe
of the shoe of corresponding size and shape (as B B Figure 2).
The head of the toeplate for use in frost stands up vertically from the shoe and
is not tapered or sharpened to a point or edge but has parallel sides and presents a
surface of about one eighth of an inch in breadth and of a length proportionate to
the size of shoe and work required-from one inch up to four inches, (as C C
Figures 3 and 4).
The improved heel piece may be either round square or other shape in the shank
that goes into the shoe, but the head-for use in frost-stands up vertically from
the shoe and is not tapered or sharpened to a point or edge, but has parallel sides
and presents a surface of from one sixteenth to one eighth of an inch or thereabouts
in breadth, and of a length proportionate to the size of shoe and work required,
from three eighths of an inch to one inch, (as D D in Figures 5 and 6).
