An improved horseshoe with a resilient intermediate layer and a method of manufacturing such a horseshoe

摘要

In a horseshoe (1) a resilient intermediate layer (4) is positioned to completely fill out the interspace between a rigid upper part (2) for abutment on the lower side of the hoof of the horse and a rigid lower part (3) extending at least under a part of the upper part (2). The upper part (2) and the lower part (3) are in mechanical connection with each other at the front edge of the horseshoe (1). In addition to the mechanical connection at the front part, the lower part (3) and the upper part (2) are interconnected by interlocking means (A: A1; A2) near at least one of the rear edges of the branches of the lower part (3) to prevent separation of the upper and lower parts, while allowing elastic deformation of the resilient intermediate layer (4). <IMAGE>
