    [0002] Protector for animal hooves and hooves
    [0003]
    [0004] Field of the Invention
    [0005]
    [0006] The present invention belongs to the technical field of footwear for animals, specifically for animal hooves and hooves, and more specifically for equidae. The invention relates in particular to a protector for animal hooves and hooves intended primarily for functional, light, comfortable, non-stifling protection and that is capable of adapting to all possible situations and movement, without interfering with the animal's natural biomechanics during displacement or standing, or affecting the functioning of the internal structures of the animal's foot. The protector is non-permanent, and simple and quick coupling and decoupling of the animal's hoof or hoof.
    [0007]
    [0008] Background of the invention
    [0009]
    [0010] The traditional means of protection for horse hooves appeared during the Middle Ages and was popularized in the western world since the Industrial Revolution. This medium consists of the classic rigid horseshoes, made from different metal alloys, which are mainly fixed by nails to the helmet and that provide permanent protection against wear, with the inconvenience of being highly stunted and also present other side effects that appear long-term.
    [0011]
    [0012] Nowadays it is trying to improve this traditional version with the use of flexible and absorbent materials, mainly plastics and rubber, made from the combination of several components, being reinforced with a sheet of metal alloy inside, thus preventing its loss or breakage and distributing the vibration of the nails on a larger surface. Although these latest achievements are an obvious improvement over their traditional version, they remain a permanent support, with the problems that this entails (overgrowth of the case by null wear, appearance of artificial levers that compromise the soft tissues of the extremities, infections of the pruned tissues such as the white line and / or the frog, etc.).
    [0013]
    [0014] On the other hand, both traditional horseshoes and their improved version discussed above, provide only a partial protection of the helmet, specifically against wear of the lower surface thereof. However, they do not protect the dorsal or anterior surface, neither the lateral nor the palmar or the back of the helmet.
    [0015]
    [0016] In recent years, non-stunted solutions have been developed to protect both the sole and the cover and even protect the bulbs. In this sense, three different lines can be mentioned, which are described below:
    [0017]
    [0018] The first line of protections popularly known as "Glue-ons", are described in WO2009142801, US00D685142S, and the Spanish Utility Model ES1072993U. These protections are composed of a bottom sole that can be attached to the base of the helmet and a top wall that can be attached to the front and side surface of said helmet. The protections use an adhesive to be fixed to the surface of the helmet, which prevents their frequent disassembly in a simple and fast way.
    [0019]
    [0020] The second line of protections, popularly known as “Integral Boots,” are described in documents US8291683B2, US20050072128, US4981010, EP25457721A2, US20050166556A1, US5715661A and US6694713B1, and are composed of a bottom soleplate that can be attached to the base of the helmet, an attachable upper wall on the front and side surface of said helmet, and a third wall of another material that closes the upper circumference of the protection, above the coronary band of the equine foot and, specifically, around the second phalanx. These protections remain attached to the helmet in a timely manner, thus allowing frequent disassembly in a simple, fast and comfortable way. These types of boots, however, have several important drawbacks:
    [0021]
    [0022] - The first is that, not being adaptable, they do not achieve an intimate union with the equine foot, which causes a double impact during the arrival phase (first it impacts the boot and secondarily the equine foot) generating in the horse a deep insecurity.
    [0023]
    [0024] - The second is that, by not achieving an intimate union, they have more ease of turning, especially in front of diagonal interferences (when a foot hits a hand) and / or asymmetric arrivals (when a digit reaches the ground with one side before the other).
    [0025]
    [0026] - The third is that, not achieving an intimate union can cause friction that ends up causing significant chafing.
    [0027]
    [0028] - The fourth is that, being so high they interfere with the comfort of the horse and the biomechanics of the lower limb, since during the takeoff phase the movement of the second phalanx is hindered by the front portion of the protection, while during the loading phase the caudal portion of the protection hinders the descent of the first and second phalanx.
    [0029]
    [0030] - The fifth drawback is that they are very heavy, which can alter the acceleration of the lower part of the limb, leading to greater stretching of the ligaments in the limb.
    [0031]
    [0032] - The sixth drawback is that they allow the entry of particles of different sizes and, due to the closed design of the protection, cannot exit, favoring the presence of chafing if used in a demanding and prolonged manner.
    [0033]
    [0034] The third line of protections, popularly known as "Sport Boots", is described in documents US4744422A, US20110219732A1, US8413412B2, US20130008139A1, US5661958, USD440363, EP3132679B1 and EP2409565A1, and in this line the protections are integrated by a sole base of the helmet, a top wall attachable on the front and side surface of said helmet, and a third rear piece that fits on the popsterior part of the helmet.These protections use different systems to stay attached to the helmet in a timely manner, thus allowing the Frequent disassembly, in a simple, fast and comfortable way.The main drawbacks that we find in the different models that cover this type of protection or equine boots are:
    [0035] - None of them can regulate the height of its posterior portion bilaterally or unilaterally, which makes it impossible to use it on equine feet with raised heels (known as topino helmets).
    [0036]
    [0037] - Due to their indivisibility conditions they do not allow any adaptation to the foot of the animals beyond the tightening or the choice of size.
    [0038]
    [0039] - The connections they use between the different elements have a non-elastic or totally elastic nature. The former alter the maximum expansion capabilities of the soft tissues of the foot during the loading phase by altering the comfort of the horse. The second fully elastic, as in PCTES2014 / 070325, although its adaptability is good, excess elasticity generates friction at the subcutaneous level, causing the appearance of important sores in areas with more foot mobility and increases the risk of lost.
    [0040]
    [0041] - The anchors, belts, velcro, etc., which present the different models work only in a longitudinal plane, which considerably increases the risk of losing protection during the takeoff phase, since in this phase the horse's helmet, at pivot on its center, support the clamps (anterior area) on the protection, creating a disunity between the bottom of the boot, at the heels, and the horse's helmet. This separation can only be stopped if there is any mechanism that acts in the transverse plane, which the existing models in the market lack.
    [0042]
    [0043] Some of the shims or protectors known in the state of the art are made of polymeric material and comprise a raised part and a sole and which is fixed by adhesive means to the surface of the animal's hoof or hoof depending on the case. The raised part of the protector contacts in its internal part with the external part of the sides of the animal's hoof or hoof and the sole contacts in its lower part with the ground and in its upper part with the palm of the animal's hoof or hoof.
    [0044]
    [0045] As indicated, in terms of fixing means, known systems are based on the use of adhesive compounds that extend over the part internal part of the raised part of the shoe to fix it on the external part of the animal's hoof or hoof, the adhesive compound being retained between these indicated parts. That is, in these known systems the adhesive is distributed in a layer generating a single contact surface between the parts. Additionally, the current shims attached to the animal's hoof or hoof by adhesive means have an essentially flat sole at the top in contact with the bottom of the animal's hoof or hoof. These flat soles do not adapt to the geometry of the animal's hoof or hoof, which can be a source of adhesion problems in certain conditions (for example, grip on terrains with high inclination, situations with high humidity levels, etc.). These problems are aggravated when the shoe has an open geometry on its back.
    [0046]
    [0047] It is therefore desirable a protector for hooves or hooves of animals that protects them efficiently and allows a firm fixation and at the same time a coupling and decoupling of the hull or hoof in a simple and fast way, avoiding the inconveniences of the previous systems existing in The state of the art.
    [0048]
    [0049] Description of the invention
    [0050]
    [0051] The present invention solves the problems existing in the state of the art by means of a protector for animal hooves or hooves as described in claim 1.
    [0052]
    [0053] The protector has a base that can be attached to the animal's hoof or hoof, which is in turn formed by a lower support sole and a wall that contacts on its inner face with the side of the hull or the animal's hoof in the coupled position on it, and which has a front portion that surrounds the front of the sole, and two lateral portions that surround the lateral parts of the sole.
    [0054]
    [0055] The base assembly is designed to serve as a means of protecting the helmet or hoof of the animal's legs and is designed so that it can be fitted tightly. For this, this base will preferably be constituted based on a thermo-conformable material, for example, thermoplastic material, whose purpose is to allow the user, by application of heat or other methods, permanent deformation to achieve its perfect adaptation to helmet or hoof geometry on which it will be placed. In order to improve the adaptation, the base will have on its wall ribs that will allow the opening of through holes intended to improve its adaptation without risk of breakage. In addition, the base will have a different geometry depending on whether it is intended for the front or rear legs of the animal
    [0056]
    [0057] The protector has at least one hole arranged in the base wall that is configured to accommodate an injector anchor that is detachable from the wall, and which is in turn configured to inject adhesive material, and be fixed to the side of the helmet or hoof of the animal, thus fixing the base to said helmet or hoof.
    [0058]
    [0059] Preferably the protector has two holes, each of them arranged in a side portion of the base wall, and therefore has two injector anchors, each of them arranged in one of the holes.
    [0060]
    [0061] The protector object of the present invention can have at least one opening in the wall of the base, whose function is to absorb conformational asymmetries of the hooves and hooves of the animals, and to prevent their rotation in the base when it is coupled to the helmet or hoof. Preferably, it will have two openings, each of them in a side portion of the base wall.
    [0062]
    [0063] In addition, according to different embodiments of the invention, the protector may have holes arranged in the base wall, which provide elasticity to the base and facilitate adapting it to different shapes of the animal's hoof or hoof, without using other means to that effect. These holes are also used as connection elements for other elements of the protector, as will be seen later.
    [0064]
    [0065] As for the sole of the protector, it can have a central longitudinal opening, which provides elasticity to the sole in the transverse direction, to allow its deformation before different pressures caused by irregularities of the ground together with the weight of the animal and irregularities in its tread. . In addition, this longitudinal opening serves as a drain for possible objects that could have been accidentally introduced
    [0066] Additionally, and in particular the sole has means for connecting ramps, which may consist of a set of holes or grooves intended for this purpose. These ramplones are metallic or plastic elements that provide an extra traction system on sliding floors, such as ice.
    [0067]
    [0068] According to particular embodiments, the sole may also have a plurality of auxiliary holes, which are used for drainage, and also for the introduction of medicinal products and plantar silicones when the base is coupled to the helmet or hoof. In the inner part the sole has grooves around its entire perimeter, which optimize the connection of the animal's hoof or hoof with the base at times of maximum traction.
    [0069]
    [0070] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the protector has a rear retainer that joins the side portions of the wall and subsequently closes the base, such that the back of the animal's hoof or hoof is adapted and covered. when the base is coupled to them. Preferably, the rear retainer has two lateral openings that have upper and lower extensions, through which the retainer relates to the base walls. The connection between the rear retainer and the base is made by two lower side anchors.
    [0071]
    [0072] In addition, the protector may preferably have an inner part disposed between the aforementioned rear retainer and the animal's hoof or hoof, which is breathable, distributes pressure and provides comfort to the animal.
    [0073]
    [0074] According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the protector has a front connecting band, which is elastically flexible and is configured to fix the base to the front of the animal's hoof or hoof.
    [0075]
    [0076] In relation to the injector anchors, preferably these have an inner face which contacts the inner surface of the base wall when the injector anchor is housed in the wall. From this inner face a connecting protrusion emerges, which is the one that is inserted into the hole in the wall, and which has a through central hole configured for the insertion of the adhesive material. Obviously the injector anchors have an outer face that is what it contacts the lateral part of the animal's hoof or hoof, and is fixed to it by means of adhesive means. This outer face has grooves connected to the central hole, which are intended to evenly distribute the injected adhesive material through the central hole of the injector anchor.
    [0077]
    [0078] According to a preferred embodiment of the protector object of the invention, the base wall has at least one wedge-shaped projection on its inner face, which acts as a shoehorn, and which is configured to facilitate the coupling of the base. to the helmet or hoof thanks to the animal's own weight, and on the contrary block the removal of said base from the helmet or hoof.
    [0079]
    [0080] Therefore, by means of the protector object of the present invention, a comfortable and safe coupling to the animal's hoof or hoof is achieved, providing two different configurations, one of them as a long-term protector or footwear, with a firmer fixation to withstand the movement of the step, trot and gallop of the animal, and another configuration as a medical boot for sporadic point fixations that allow a simple and immediate coupling and withdrawal.
    [0081]
    [0082] As for the first configuration, as a protector or long-term footwear, the injector anchors are fixed in the holes in the base wall, adhesive material is injected through them, which is distributed throughout the interior of the wall of the base, leaving the complete protector fixed to the animal's hoof or hoof, in a medium-long term fixation.
    [0083]
    [0084] On the contrary, in the second configuration, as a medical boot, it is only the injector anchors that are fixed by means of the adhesive material to the animal's hoof or hoof, so that the base can be fixed to these injector anchors through the holes of the wall of its base. These fixations will be punctual and sporadic, for the application of some treatment, for example, and it will be possible to perform a coupling and a withdrawal of the base of the injector anchors quickly and easily.
    [0085]
    [0086] Additionally, by attaching the protector to the animal's hoof or hoof, the following advantages are obtained:
    [0087] - It allows the three-dimensional deformation of all the elements of the case, both when the animal is in season, and when it is performing any type of movement or activity on any type of soil and at any speed.
    [0088]
    [0089] - Provides adequate protection for both wear and shock and any other aggression that may occur in any part of the animal's hoof or hoof (anterior, lateral, posterior and inferior area).
    [0090]
    [0091] - Allows the proper functioning of the internal tissues of the animal's hoof or hoof, thus avoiding its atrophy and promoting its development, functionality and health.
    [0092]
    [0093] - It allows the correct functioning of all parts of the limb, avoiding interfering with the ranges of movement of the different joints and ligaments that make it up.
    [0094]
    [0095] - The protector is adaptable to any asymmetry or shape of the helmet in all its parts (including bulbs and heels). This is achieved, apart from the design with holes and holes intended to provide elasticity, with a material that by means of the application of heat or any other method is able to deform in tune to the shape of the helmet or hoof, and then maintain the shapes obtained thus providing an intimate union that avoids the appearance of double impacts that generate insecurity and empty spaces that increase the risk of loss of the protector and generate levers that will cause unnecessary stress on the tissues of the limb.
    [0096]
    [0097] - Ensures a compact, flexible and stable connection between the different components of the protector, so that they provide the animal with a sense of security and comfort, both in static and at any stage of the horse's march, but mainly during the takeoff and landing of the helmet or hoof.
    [0098]
    [0099] - Prevents the accumulation of debris and liquids (water, sweat and any other) with a design that provides its outlet and promotes aeration or perspiration,
    [0100]
    [0101]
    [0102] mainly from areas where the coronary band is exceeded and are highly sensitive to chafing.
    [0103]
    [0104] - Prevents the presence of elements that can directly injure the case and / or the limbs in case of interference.
    [0105]
    [0106] - Provides a simple and fast assembly and disassembly and that does not require force or knowledge for its direct application.
    [0107]
    [0108] - Allows the addition of extra traction elements widely used in snow conditions and / or in outdoor jumping and raid competitions, known as ramps.
    [0109]
    [0110] - It has an extremely light weight to reduce the additional accelerations of the limb and avoid unnecessary tensions in the soft tissues of the limb.
    [0111]
    [0112] - It has anchors or systems that work diagonally to affect both the longitudinal and the transverse plane, thus preventing the loss of the boots.

    [0177] Detailed description of the invention
    [0178]
    [0179]
    [0180] The object of the present invention is a protector for animal hooves and hooves.
    [0181]
    [0182] As the figures show, the protector has a base 1 that can be attached to the animal's hoof 3, which in turn is formed by a lower support sole 4 and by a wall 5 that contacts on its inner face with the side part of the helmet or hoof 3 of the animal when the base 1 is coupled to said helmet or hoof 3. The wall is formed by a front portion that surrounds the front part of the sole 4, and by two side portions that surround the parts sole sides 4.
    [0183]
    [0184] The base 1 will be of an elastically flexible nature, with great resistance to abrasion and will preferably be constituted based on a thermo-conformable material, which will allow its permanent conformation on the hoof 3 of the animal, by means of heat application. The sole 4 is preferably of rough configuration in order to optimize traction.
    [0185]
    [0186] The protector has at least one hole 8 that is arranged in the wall 5 of the base 1, which is configured to accommodate an injector anchor 28 detachable from the wall 5. This injector anchor 28 is in turn configured to inject therethrough. adhesive material, and thus be fixed to the side of the helmet or hoof 3 of the animal, the base 1 being fixed to said helmet or hoof 3.
    [0187]
    [0188] According to a preferred embodiment, the protector has two holes 8, each arranged in a side portion of the wall 5 of the base 1, and two injector anchors 28, each arranged in one of the holes 8. In this way a bilateral and symmetrical fixation is made, more secure. Figure 5 shows the protector with the injector anchors 28, while Figure 12a shows the introduction of adhesive material through the injector anchor 28, and Figure 12b shows the injector anchor 28 fixed to a helmet 3, but with the base 1 removal of said helmet 3. This provides permanent fixation of the injector anchors to the helmet or hoof 3 by means of the adhesive material, and that the base can be attached and removed from the animal's helmet or hoof 3 simply and immediately. This operation is suitable for the configuration of the protector as a "remove and put" medical boot, which will be attached to the animal's helmet or hoof 3 only at specific times for a specific protection or the application of some treatment, which will be achieved quickly and conveniently for both the animal and the person performing the task.
    [0189]
    [0190] Additionally, as seen in Figures 3, 5 and 12a, the wall 5 of the base 1 may have at least one opening 7 to absorb conformational asymmetries of the hooves and hooves 3 of the animals and to prevent their rotation in the base 1. Preferably there will be two openings 7, each one arranged in a lateral portion of the wall 5 of the base 1, so as to obtain, as with the injector anchors 28, a bilateral and symmetrical effect.
    [0191]
    [0192] In particular, the wall 5 of the base 1 can also have a plurality of holes 6, configured to provide elasticity to the base 1 and adapt it to different shapes of the animal's hoof 3, in addition to serving as connecting elements of different elements, as will be seen later. Figures 1, 2 and 5 show these holes 6.
    [0193]
    [0194] As shown in Figure 4, the sole 4 may have a central longitudinal opening 12 to provide elasticity to the sole 4 in the transverse direction. This makes the sole 4 elastically flexible in the transverse direction, thus providing the protector with a flexibility that allows it to accompany all the natural deformations that occur in the corneal case of the hoof or hoof 3 of the animal during the different marching phases. In addition, said sole may also have connection means for ramps 9, which essentially consist of grooves or holes, as shown in Figure 4. Additionally, in the sole 4 there may be auxiliary holes 10 for drainage and introduction of medicinal products, and plantar silicones when the base 1 is coupled to the hoof or hoof 3 of the animal.
    [0195]
    [0196] According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the protector has a rear retainer 2 that is attached to the side portions of the wall 5, and that subsequently closes the base 1. This rear retainer adapts and covers the rear part of the helmet or hoof 3 of the animal. Preferably, the rear retainer 2 has two lateral openings 11, and upper extensions 13 and lower extensions 14 by means of which the rear retainer 2 is attached to the wall 5 of the base 1 through screws 25 that are inserted into holes of connection 24 of the lower extensions 14, as shown in Figure 3. In addition, also of
    [0197]
    [0198]
    [0199] Preferably, the protector has an inner piece 15 arranged between the rear retainer 2 and the animal's hoof 3 when the base 1 is coupled to the hoof or hoof 3. This inner piece 15 can be made of neoprene and have ventilation holes 17 in correspondence with the side openings 11 of the rear retainer 2. Figure 3 shows a side view of an embodiment of this protector with the rear retainer 2 and the inner part 15, while Figure 7 shows in detail the embodiment of the rear retainer 2 with its essential characteristics, and Figure 6 shows in detail the embodiment of the rear retainer 2 together with the internal part 15.
    [0200]
    [0201] As can be seen in figures 1, 3, in particular the protector of the invention has an elastically flexible front band 18, which fixes the base 1 to the front part of the animal's hoof or hoof 3. This front band 18 has an initially horizontal uneven path, aligned with the upper extensions 13 of the rear retainer 2, descending to approximately 45 ° to end parallel to the wall 5 of the base 1. The front band 18 is formed by aligned regulating holes 19 , which are those that provide the frontal band 18 with limited elasticity, and in turn serve to adjust its tension in each path. For the connection of the front band 18 to the upper extensions 13 of the rear retainer 2, they have a buckle 22, with a through hole 20 and a stop 21 to regulate the adjustment of the front band 18 through its regulating holes 19 in its passage by this section. Therefore, the upper extensions 13 of the rear retainer 2 are connected to the front band 18 by means of different paths, entering and exiting through holes 6 of the wall 5 of the base 1, and ending anchored in the front part of the base 1 to a front retainer 23, which is shown in figures 8 and 9. According to a particular embodiment, the front band 18 is introduced through the front holes 6 seen in figure 1, they go outside on both sides of the wall 5 through the lateral holes 6 seen in Figures 3 and 5, are introduced through the buckles 22 of the upper extensions 13 of the rear retainer 2, and finally closing and anchoring in the front retainer 23.
    [0202]
    [0203] Figures 8 and 9 show a preferred embodiment of the front retainer 23, which is formed by a curved surface 26 and two pivots 27, which preferably have a mushroom shape to facilitate its entry into the front band 18 and hinder its exit from it.
    [0204]
    [0205]
    [0206] According to a particular embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 5 and 11, the injector anchors 28 have an inner face 29 that contacts the inner surface of the wall 5 of the base 1 when the injector anchor 28 is housed in the wall 5. From this inner face emerges a connecting protrusion 30 which is the one that is inserted into the hole 8 of the wall 5, and which comprises a central hole 31 through which the adhesive material is inserted. Obviously the injector anchors 28 have an outer face that is the one that is fixed to the lateral part of the animal's hoof 3 and that have grooves 32 connected to the central hole 31. These grooves 32 are responsible for distributing the material evenly adhesive injected through the central hole 31.
    [0207]
    [0208] Therefore, by means of the protector object of the present invention, a comfortable and safe coupling to the helmet or hoof 3 of the animal is achieved, providing two different configurations, one of them as a long-term protector or footwear, with a firmer fixation to hold the movement of the passage, trot and gallop of the animal, and another configuration as a medical boot for sporadic point fixations that allow a simple and immediate coupling and withdrawal.
    [0209]
    [0210] As for the first configuration, as a protector or long-term fit, the injector anchors 28 are fixed in the holes 8 of the wall 5 of the base 1, adhesive material is injected through them, which is distributed throughout the inside the wall 5 of the base 1, leaving the complete protector fixed to the hoof or hoof 3 of the animal, in a medium-long term fixation. This configuration is the one used for example in the competition shoes of the horses
    [0211]
    [0212] On the contrary, in the second configuration, as a medical boot, it is only the injector anchors 28 that are fixed by means of the adhesive material to the hoof or hoof 3 of the animal, so that the base 1 can be fixed to these injector anchors 28 through holes 8 in the wall of its base. These fixings will be punctual and sporadic, for the application of some treatment, for example, and an attachment and removal of the base 1 of the injector anchors 28 can be carried out quickly and easily. Therefore, in this configuration the injector anchors 28 function as clipping elements being able to put on and take off the protection in the
    [0213]
    [0214]
    [0215] helmet or hoof 3 of the animal as many times as desired, leaving only the injector anchors 28 fixed indefinitely to the hull or hoof 3 of the animal.
    [0216]
    [0217] Figure 13 shows through a section a particular embodiment of the protector of the invention, in which the wall 5 of the base 1 has at its inner face at least one wedge-shaped shoulder 16, which acts as a shoehorn, facilitating the coupling the base 1 to the hoof or hoof 3 of the animal thanks to the animal's own weight, and blocking the removal of said base 1 from the hoof or hoof 3.
