Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a horseshoe which is attached to the bottom of a horse's hoof to prevent abrasion, damage and sliding of the hoof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional horseshoes are made of iron, and are attached to nails by nails.

[0003]

In recent years, there are no more places where horses run around the ground such as wild grasslands, sand roads, and unpaved roads, and roads are completely paved for vehicles. Therefore, horseshoes originally developed for soil and sand are no longer functioning sufficiently for purposes other than horse riding clubs and horse racing tracks.

That is, an iron horseshoe has a large resistance to a hard paved road, and a horseshoe fixed with a characteristic nail loosens due to a shock, a hole becomes large, and wear becomes severe.
Nail damage is significant. In the past, straw and hay were laid in the past, but now they are replacing sawdust,
There is a problem that mold fungus enters into the holes of damaged nails, the ends of nails, and the gaps of horseshoes along with dirty sawdust and pus.

Since the horse's claw extends about 10 mm per month from the base, if the claw extends too much, the angle at which the ankle bends changes and the horse cannot run. For this reason, it is necessary to change the horseshoe once every two months, but there are nail holes damaged by nail holes,
It is not possible to nail to reattach a horseshoe to a scar that has not healed naturally.

[0006] In this way, the ground is paved and the horseshoe is worn out and the nails are severely damaged. In addition, the straws and hay laid on the bedding of a stable are replaced with sawdust, and the nails are significantly damaged due to the occurrence of a new disease. An increasing number of horses are unable to exercise due to the inability to attach a horseshoe to the damaged claw.
If the horse is not exercised, its weight will increase and its legs will weaken, making it useless as a racehorse or horseback riding.

Therefore, the present invention seeks to provide a horseshoe that can be applied to existing paved roads.

[0008]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, the standing piece and the bottom surface of the toe portion are made of metal, and the other portion is made of hard rubber having a core rod made of soft metal in the shape direction. It is characterized by that. The soft rubber layer may be provided on the adhesive surface with the nail to be attached, or the hard rubber may be provided with a groove in the width direction.

[0009]

The operation of the horseshoe of the present invention will be explained. Since the main body is made of hard rubber, it is easy to match the horseshoe shape of the horse when shaping, and when attaching the horseshoe to the nail, no nail is required, and it is instantly easy with an adhesive. Can be adhered to. Further, by providing the core rod made of the soft metal in the main body made of hard rubber, it is possible to maintain the shape and to maintain the shape for matching the horseshoe shape of the horse in which all four legs may be different for each horse. it can.

Further, the toe of the horseshoe can be made of metal to protect the most easily worn portion.

Further, by using soft rubber for the surface of the horseshoe and the nail to be joined together, the nail can be protected as a packing by preventing sawdust and other foreign matter from entering.

Further, by providing a cut groove in the width direction of the hard rubber main body, there is a clearance for bending when forming the horseshoe shape, and bending is facilitated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a horseshoe of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment, FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the same, and FIG. 3 is a longitudinal end view of a toe portion. The toe portion 3 of the main body 1 is made of metal and the other portions are made of hard rubber.

The toe part 3 made of metal is the upright piece 3A and the bottom part 3B, and the other part including the upper part of the toe part (finger sticking surface) is made of hard rubber. Then, the core rod 2 made of soft metal is inserted in the shape of the horseshoe in the main body formed of hard rubber. The soft metal used for the core rod 2 is, for example, soft iron, and the metal of the toe portion 3 is, for example, titanium alloy, fiber reinforced aluminum alloy, or the like having good wear resistance.

FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional end view showing an embodiment in which a layer of soft rubber 5 is formed on the surface of the hard rubber main body 1 that is adhered to the claws, and FIG. 5 is made of hard rubber. FIG. 3 is a bottom view of a horseshoe showing an embodiment in which main body 1 is provided with cut grooves 6, 6 ... In the width direction at regular intervals. The horseshoe of the present invention can be attached to the nail by attaching it to the nail using an adhesive such as a quick-drying agent and fixing it with a nail until the adhesion is stabilized.

Next, the rubber compound will be described. As described above, the rubber compound is a highly saturated nitrile elastomer (ZETPOL-2020) and the same polymer compounded with zinc methacrylate (ZSC-2295). Simultaneous vulcanization molding at 170 ° C. for 10 minutes was performed by a press using a mold.

[0017]

Since the horseshoe of the present invention is made of hard rubber, it can be easily shaped and can be attached with an adhesive, so that it is easier to manufacture and attach than the conventional iron horseshoe, and the paved road. On the other hand, the resistance is small and the shock received by the horseshoe is small, so it is ideal without damage to the horseshoe and damage to the nails. Further, by providing the core rod made of a soft metal in the main body, it is possible to maintain the shape for matching the horseshoe shape.

Further, since the toe portion is made of metal, it has excellent wear resistance and durability. Moreover, since soft rubber is used for packing the bonding surface between the horseshoe and the nail, sawdust and other foreign matter do not enter, and there is no fear of suppuration due to fungi as in the past. Furthermore, by providing a kerf in the width direction of the main body, it is easy to bend and easy to manufacture.
