Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A method of shoeing a horse comprising the steps of introducing a shapeable polymerizable composition comprising a hardener and a polymerizable material capable of Being polymerized to a polymer within the cavities between the frog and the horn wall underneath a horse hoof; pressing the surface of said shapeable composition to completely fill in said cavities therewith; flattening the surface of said composition to provide a plane surface at the underside of said hoof; nailing a wear shoe to said hoof, and permitting said composition to polymerize to form a polymer within the cavities of said hoof to provide a hoof pad therein which completely fills said cavities.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
108 words
A method of shoeing a horse comprising the steps of introducing a shapeable polymerizable composition comprising a hardener and a polymerizable material capable of Being polymerized to a polymer within the cavities between the frog and the horn wall underneath a horse hoof; pressing the surface of said shapeable composition to completely fill in said cavities therewith; flattening the surface of said composition to provide a plane surface at the underside of said hoof; nailing a wear shoe to said hoof, and permitting said composition to polymerize to form a polymer within the cavities of said hoof to provide a hoof pad therein which completely fills said cavities.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said plane surface extends over the under surface of said horn and wherein an intermediate sole is interposed between said surface and said wear shoe.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method according to claim 2 wherein said intermediate sole comprises material selected from the group consisting of leather and plastic.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said polymer has an ultimate tensile strength of 75-200 kg./cm.2, an elongation to break of 100-600 percent and a shoe hardness of 20-40.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said polymerizable material is polymerizable at room temperature.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said polymer is selected from the group consisting of polysiloxanes, polymercaptans, and polyethers.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
A padded horseshoe comprising a polymeric hoof pad completely filling the cavities between the frog and the horn wall underneath a horse hoof and a wear shoe, said horseshoe being nailed to said hoof.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
A padded horseshoe comprising a polymeric hoof pad completely filling the cavities between the frog and the horn wall underneath a horse hoof and a wear shoe, said horseshoe being nailed to said hoof.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
20 words
A padded horseshoe according to claim 7 further including an intermediate sole interposed between said polymer and said wear shoe.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
A padded horse shoe according to claim 7 wherein said polymer has an ultimate tensile strength of 75-200kg./cm.2, a elongation at break of 100-600 percent, and a shoe hardness of 20-40.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
21 words
A padded horseshoe according to claim 9 wherein said polymer is selected from the group consisting of polysiloxanes, polymercaptans, and polyethers.
