    The invention relates to a hoof shoe for a hoofed animal, preferably a horse, with a bottom part and with a wall which can be surrounded at least at the front and sides of the hoof and which is provided with clamping means for fastening the hoof shoe to the hoof.
    Such hoof shoes are known to be used to protect the hoof from wear and tear and damage to the hoof horn, especially on stony, rough or firm ground. In the event of illness, for example brittle horn, or injury, such hoof boots are also used for the recovery of the hoof. Such a shoe provides protection in the sense that the hoof horn is not injured. In addition, it can happen that the horn on the hoof is very soft and the hoofed animal would constantly lose the horseshoe.
    Hoof boots are an alternative to traditional horseshoes. They have the advantage over these that they are easy to put on and take off, for example as part of normal hoof care.
    A hoof shoe of the type mentioned at the beginning is disclosed in EP 0 207 110 B1. The horse hoof shoe described there consists of a horseshoe-shaped bottom part, a front part adapted to the horse's foot and a heel part which is continued on each side by a strip resting on the front part. At the front of the front part there is also a tensioning device consisting of a rotary knob and two loops that can be shifted in a self-locking manner by turning the rotary knob. There are also two tension belts provided on the heel part, one end of the belt hooking into one of the loops, while the other end of the belt is held on the opposite side below the loop located there. The tensioning straps run at the height of the tensioning device to the rear, where they are passed crosswise on the back wall of the heel part through two upper loops and two lower loops and then to the front for attachment below the loops.
    This training of the hoof shoe should enable a particularly good hold of the hoof shoe on the horse's hoof. However, it is very complex in terms of production technology and also has the disadvantage that the hoof shoe can only be put on and taken off after the tensioning straps have been loosened and the cap forming the heel part has been moved. It is also disadvantageous that a defect can occur relatively easily because of its complex structure.
    In contrast, the invention is based on the object of avoiding these disadvantages and of creating a hoof shoe of the type mentioned at the outset, which is easy to put on and take off, offers a secure hold and can be produced without great effort.
    According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
    The fact that the wall of the hoof shoe is open at the rear in approximately the width of the hoof and is provided there with at least one closing flap that can be tensioned by the clamping means, which is positively applied to the rear part of the hoof in the closed state, results in extremely simple placement and Attaching a hoof shoe to a hoof.
    Very advantageously, an opening with approximately the width of the hoof and a closing flap pivotable at this opening is provided on the rear side, which can be opened and closed downward about a pivot axis located on the bottom part.
    The hoof shoe according to the invention thus mainly consists of a shoe body which can be easily produced in one or two parts, the open rear side of which makes it easier to put on and take off the hoof shoe and the rear closing flap of which ensures the secure fixation of the hoof shoe in the closed state.
    In this sense, it is advantageous if the closing flaps are provided with half-shells which are adapted to the hoof instinct and which, in the closed state, lie directly against it in a form-fitting manner. These closing flaps are guided around corner edges of the hoof in order to achieve a three-dimensional form fit.
    The invention also provides that the side half-shells are provided with reinforcing ribs. As a result, they are stable in the height direction and can therefore ensure perfect fixation over the long term.
    In order to press the pivotable locking tabs against the ball of the hoof there is a twist rope lock at the front of the hoof shoe wall, with which one or more tension ropes guided around the shoe can be tightened by turning the twist lock.
    For a secure fixation of the hoof shoe, it is advantageous if the twist rope fastener is provided with two ropes stretched crosswise between the locking tabs, the ropes in the hoof shoe preferably being guided individually so that the locking force is also applied in the upper region of the half-shells is effective, the locking tabs are closed and ensure an increased hold.
    The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing. 1 shows a side view of a hoof shoe according to the invention; Fig. 2 is a view from above of the hoof shoe of Fig. 1; 3a, b each show a schematic section through the wall of the hoof shoe; 4 shows a further section through the wall of the hoof shoe; 5 shows a variant of a hoof shoe, shown in perspective; 6 shows a view of the hoof shoe in the direction of arrow VI according to FIG. 5; 7 shows a schematic plan view of the hoof shoe according to FIG. 5, shown in simplified form in the open and closed positions; 8 shows a side view of a variant of a hoof shoe according to the invention with a closing tab in the unfolded position; and FIG. 9 shows a perspective side view of a further variant of a hoof shoe according to the invention with a closing tab in the closed position.
    The horse hoof shoe shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 can be produced in one or more parts and consists essentially of a bottom part 1 and a wall 2, both made of plastic injection molding, the shape and size of which corresponds to the hoof of the respective hoof shoe wearer is adapted.
    It is useful in a known manner to provide different shoe sizes or models depending on the horse breed or horse size. Such hoof boots can also be made for other animal species, such as mules, pack donkeys, etc.
    The bottom part 1 has a shoe profile 3 made of abrasion-resistant material, for example a hard rubber, so that the shoe is exposed to little wear, especially on asphalt.
    According to the invention, the wall 2 of the hoof shoe is provided at the rear on both sides with locking tabs 9, 10 which can be pivoted laterally relative to the hoof 8. As can be seen from Fig. 2, the closing tabs 9, 10 in the open state are aligned approximately parallel to the central plane 11 of the hoof, the wall 2 of the hoof shoe there being open at the rear. The closing tabs 9, 10 additionally have flexible half-shells 12 and 13, the inner relief of which is adapted to that of the hoof ridge in the rear part of the hoof.
    To put on the hoof shoe, it is turned up on the hoof after lifting the foot, then the foot is removed and finally the hoof shoe is fastened by pivoting the locking tabs 9, 10 and tightening the shoe with suitable clamping means. This ensures easy handling when the hoof is driven into the shoe and nevertheless enables easy clamping, which serves to prevent the hoof shoe from sliding off again immediately.
    There are two individually operable tensioning ropes 15, 16 provided as tensioning means, which are hooked on the one hand to the locking tabs 9, 10 and on the other hand can be tensioned with a twisted cord lock 18 attached to the wall 2 at the front by turning. The tensioning ropes 15, 16 are guided around the half-shells 9, 10 and the front wall 5 of the shoe in such a way that their tensioning force around the shoe is also effective in the area of the upper half-shells, so that they buckle or snap into place at the edges of the hoof instep and directly and fix it in such a way that the hoof is secured against the top. This is particularly important when the ground is very wet and muddy, and this can create a vacuum between the ground part and the ground, which causes great vertical forces. This then has the consequence that the hoof shoe gets stuck and the hoof can slide out.
    Instead of the twist rope lock 17, pulling, ratcheting, locking or similar tensioning means with or without a translation unit can also be used. It is crucial that in the closed state the hoof shoe is evenly stretched against the hoof with the appropriate tensioning force, and that the half-shells 12, 13 can form-fit on the rear part of the hoof in order to fix the hoof shoe in a vertical direction.
    It is also possible to use about tapes, belts or similar tensioning means instead of ropes. The half-shells 12, 13 could be provided with a cushion that is gentle on the hoof or with additional flexible flaps on the closing tabs 9, 10, which press inward at the top of the hoof ball.
    In addition, the shell has a certain inward bias against the hoof, which in turn has the effect that the hoof shoe has a self-retaining force before a tension is generated by the closure. This increases the user-friendliness when putting on the shoe.
    In order to still support a uniform pretensioning, a spring element is advantageously assigned to the cable connection between the tabs. This allows the shells to be easily pulled together until the pre-tension is achieved. This spring element can, for example, be a textile fabric which is resiliently stretchable by means of a rubber part. In addition, this fabric protects the ropes from accidentally hanging in branches or the like.
    The constrictions provided in the wall 2, viewed in the vertical direction, also have the effect that the shell adapts itself optimally to the hoof. The resulting damping waves or buffer waves can be arranged on the circumference as required and are arranged over the entire height of the shoe.
    As can be seen from FIGS. 3 a and b, the front wall 5 of the wall 2 is in turn designed in such a way that it can lie tightly against the front horn wall of the hoof 6. For this purpose, this front wall 5 has an undulating profile 7 on the inside, which enables the hoof shoe to provide the best possible hold for all types and shapes of hooves, especially in the area of possible twisting with respect to the hoof. Due to the special shape of the front wall 5, as can be seen in FIG. 3, “extreme forms” of hooves are taken into account.
    According to FIG. 4, this front wall 5 of the wall 2 is equipped at the top with a flexible sealing lip 8 which can nestle against the upper edge of the hoof so that no dirt can get into the hoof shoe. This sealing lip 8 is arranged at such an angle that it can accommodate the various diameters and wall slopes of a hoof. In addition, this increases the hoof's grip against twisting in the shoe.
    Fig. 5 to Fig. 7 show a similar variant of a hoof shoe as that of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, so that the same reference numerals are used for the same components. Only the differences are explained below.
    In the case of the half-shells 12, 13 of the closing straps 9, 10 reinforcing ribs 14 are assigned on the outside. They have the effect that the half-shells remain stable at least transversely to their longitudinal extension of the shoe.
    The tensioning cables 15, 16 are safely guided in guide channels 18, 18 'with deflection elements 19, 20. In the rear part of the shoe, they are advantageously guided crosswise over the locking tabs 9, 10, with one end each being attached to a fastening part 21 on a respective locking tab.
    8 shows a further variant of a hoof shoe 30, which can preferably be produced in one piece, with a bottom part 31 and a wall 32.
    According to the invention, an opening 33 with approximately the width of the hoof and a pivotable closing flap 35 at this opening 33 is provided on the rear of this hoof shoe 30, which in the closed state can be pressed approximately positively on the rear part of the hoof by clamping means not shown in detail. This locking tab 35 is shell-shaped and can be opened and closed downward about a horizontal pivot axis 46 located on the bottom part 31. In the closed state, it adjoins the wall 32 laterally and has a guide surface 37 and spaced-apart belt straps 38, 39 on the outer circumference, through which, for example, a tensioning device designed as a band can be pulled.
    The wall 32 provided at the front and on the outside is also assigned a guide surface 32 'and spaced-apart belt tabs 32 "through which a tensioning means can be passed the rear closing flap 35 can be effected.
    FIG. 9 shows a variant of a hoof shoe 40 of a similar design to that of FIG. 8. Therefore, only the differences are shown in detail below. The hoof shoe 40 is also composed of the sole-shaped bottom part 41, the wall 42 and the foldable closing flap 45. The latter is just as shell-shaped and can be opened and closed downward about a horizontal pivot axis 46 located on the bottom part 31.
    In addition to the belt tabs 48, 49 and the guide surface 44, additional inclined tabs 47 are available on the upper side of the closing tab 45 at the two forward ends 43, in which a second tensioning means can be attached, which in addition to the with one The wall 42 provided with guide surface 42 'and tensioning means 51 which can be guided around the closing flap 45, as indicated, is provided in order to achieve an even better hold of the hoof shoe 40 on the hoof. These tensioning means 51 can be formed by fabric straps or the like with appropriate closures.
    The hoof shoe described can be produced in different models and sizes and can be used for horses of different breeds or for similar ungulates. It is characterized by a simple construction in terms of production engineering and has the essential advantage that it can be put on and taken off without any effort, without the need for special equipment or aids.
    The invention has been demonstrated sufficiently with the above exemplary embodiments. Instead of the two ropes, only one rope, appropriately deflected, can be used.
    The closing flaps can have so-called deflectors as a cover in the end area, which protect the ropes against being pulled off by the rear hoof.
