HORSE-SHOE TYPE, PLATE-SHAPED, PLASTIC HOOF FITTING

摘要

The aim of the invention is to improve the capacity of resistance to wear an d shock absorbency, to reduce the risk of injuring the horses, especially as f ar as the chord load of the horse's leg is concerned, and to maintain the horse 's health in general or to restore sick animals to health as far as the foot an d leg joints thereof are concerned. In order to achieve this, the head element (2) which connects the two limbs (7) of a hoof fitting (1) comprises a flattened front edge (4) and a tread element which is situated on the tread (11) of the fitting and which extends on both sides of the central axis (A-A ) of the fitting to essentially the outer edge of the limbs (7). Said tread element is free of knop-shaped profiled bodies (9) and has a wedge-shaped cross-section which increases towards the ends of the limbs. The width (B) o f said cross-section decreases in the direction of the central axis (A-A). In the region of the central axis (A-A), said width corresponds to approximatel y half the width of the head element (2) between the front edge (4) thereof an d the rear edge (15) thereof. Within the head element (2), a tread element (20 ) having knop-shaped profiled bodies (9) joins the tread element (13) which is free of profiled bodies.
