Abstract
A method for manufacturing a horseshoe provided with at least one clip wherein a rod part with a predetermined length is formed by cutting it from a straight rod. The length of the rod part depends on the desired size of the horseshoe. Part of a first longitudinal side of the rod part is blanked out by a cutting tool such that at least one cam-shaped part remains on the first longitudinal side. Each cam-shaped part is subsequently plastically deformed in a direction which is mainly perpendicular to a top side of the rod part such that a clip which extends substantially perpendicular to the top side is formed. The rod part is bent such that an actual horseshoe is formed. The invention includes the horseshoe obtained by the method.
Claims12
A method for manufacturing a horseshoe with at least one clip, comprising the steps of:
- performing a first cutting action to form a rod part with a predetermined length by cutting it from a straight rod, said rod part having a first longitudinal side, a top side, a bottom side, a second longitudinal side and two ends, and said length being determined in accordance with a desired size horseshoe to be made;
- performing a separate second cutting action to blank out said first longitudinal side using a cutting tool such that at least one cam-shaped part remains on said first longitudinal side;
- subsequently plastically deforming said cam-shaped part such that a clip is formed which extends substantially perpendicular to said top side;
- and
- bending said rod part such that a horseshoe is formed.

- blanking out said first longitudinal side using a cutting tool such that at least one cam-shaped part remains on said first longitudinal side;
- subsequently plastically deforming said cam-shaped part such that a clip is formed which extends substantially perpendicular to said top side and which stands exactly on said first longitudinal side;
- and
- bending said rod part such that a horseshoe is formed.
