Be it known that we, \VILLEAM WiLLLmis Box and Farmers JOHN BEADLTJ, subjects of the Queen of Great Britain, residing, respectively,at Orayford and Eritlnboth in the county of Kent, England, have invented certain new and useful improvements in and connected with Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has been patented in Great Britain by Letters Patent dated May 5, 1884, No. 7,23%; in France by patent dated July 2, 188i, No. 163,104; in Belgium by patent dated July 4, 1884, No. 65,688); in Germany dated July 16, 188i, No. 31,579, and in Canada, dated September 26, 1884, No. 20,697.

lhe main objects of-this invention are to produce a light and strong shoe which shall afford a better foothold and prevent slipping, and which shall also wear a long time. For this purpose we make the shoe of steel or wronglitiron, and the body of the shoe thin or shallow, with callcs projecting on the under side, and with ribs along the inner or outer sidc,or both, the call: being formed in the forging orstaniping,or hydraulic pressing,or casting; or the steel calks may, if the shoe is made of wrought-iron, be partly formed by welding on. These calks are provided with taperholes to receivetaper-pegs,and we make transverse holes towards each peghole to receive a punch, or for a punch to be inserted for reinoving the pegs when required.

Fignrcl of the accompanying drawings is aview in plan of the under side of a horseshoe with the projecting calks, before the holes are introduced for the removable calks. Fig. 2 is a View in plan of the underside of a shoe provided with calks and pegs for roughing according to our invention. Fig. 3 is a section through the line at y of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the same shoe. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the reanier-tool, and Fig. 6 shows the center punch-like drift.

Similar letters of reference refer l'o like parts in all the figures.

a a are the steel calks, and b is the thin or shallow wrought-iron bod ,*ot'thcshoc,to which body the steel calks a a are welded.

f is the rib: (Shown only on one side of the shoe.)

9 g are the slots or recesses in which the holes for the nails are formed.

0 c are the taper-holes, which are bored in the callrs a. when the shoes are made for roughing.

11 d are the transverse holes to receive the drift for removing the pegs when required.

c e are the pegs, one of which is shown detached at Fig. 7. These pegs are made of a shape to correspond with the shape of the taperholes 0.

When the shoes are to be ronghed,weinsert the taper hardened steel pegse into the taperholes 0, and said pegs project below the faces of the projecting calks upon the shoe, as best seen at Fig. 3. In order to remove and replace the pegs 0 when worn down to the face, we provide the transverse or slanting hole (1 across or toward each peg-hole c, and by inserting the center punch-like drift, (shown at Fig. 6,) having, however, by preference, a somewhat rounded point, as shown, we are enabled to loosen the peg e, which can be reiuovcthif desired,before the horse is taken into the stable, or replaced whenever desired by a fresh one.

The callrs a may be of any suit-able section or contonrsuch as round,square,or oval-and the holes 0, with the taper-pegs 6, also the part of peg protruding, may also be of any desired form (more or less) to correspond therewith. These pegs e and the cross or slanting holes (I for removing them may also be used with other forms of horseshoes, whether formed with p rejecting calks or not. For the purpose of pre serving the proper taper of the peg-holes or for removing any accumulation, as required, alter removal of a worn peg,or before insertion ofa new peg; we employ the crutch-handled or other reamer shown at Fig. 5, of, say, square or other suitable form and of the proper taper. One prong may be a drill, another a square point, and the third areainer. If by any means a peg should be broken ed, the stump remaining in the hole is easily removed by means of the aforesaid drift shown at Fig. 7.

\Ve do not claim a horseshoe with a rim or flange forming the call: or part of the calk. Neither do we claim removable steel pegs or callzs.

WVe claim as our invention- 1. I11 a horseshoe, the downwardly-projecting calks a (I, having tapering holes passing up through them and transverse holes D intersecting the vertical holes, in combination with removable tapering hard roughing-pegs that fit into the tapering holes in the calks substantially as set forth.
