A horseshoe stock piece and various complementary pieces provide variety of custom features for horseshoes such as heel calk trailers, trailer calks, calk horseshoes and patent shoes. The stock piece is a horseshoe structure with conventional top or hoof surface, a bottom or ground surface, inner and outer faces, fullering on the ground side, and nail holes within the fullering. The heel end of each arm of the stock piece has a flat, rectangular recess formed in the ground surface face which is from 40%-60% of the depth or thickness of the shoe stock. A transverse groove is formed in the central portion of the recess. The groove has walls which are perpendicular to the surface of the groove and there is a threaded aperture formed in the base of the groove. The foregoing is dimensioned to receive a complementary piece secured in the recess. The complementary piece has a transverse extension or lug extending into the groove. A fastener passes through the complementary piece into the threaded aperture in the shoe structure. The structure allows a farrier to fabricate without forging an extensive variety of special shoe structures not otherwise readily available.

A mechanism prevents explosion damage to coin pay telephones by providing an almost horizontal offset in the coin path so that a wad of paper cannot be moved by the weight of subsequently inserted coins. For existing phones, a retrofit provides a horizontal offset by locating a horizontal slot to one side of the existing coin chute entrance and having in back of it a relatively horizontal slippery surface for sliding the coin sideways and then downwards into a tunnel in alignment with the existing coin chute. The tunnel has a sloping bottom surface so that the coin rolls therein under the force of gravity into the existing coin chute. In another embodiment, the horizontal slot is further arranged perpendicular to the existing slot and the relatively horizontal slippery surface slides the coin back towards the horizontal slot and then downwards into the tunnel with a bottom sloping surface operative to roll the coin into the existing coin chute. The mechanism may also be integrally incorporated in the design of new telephones.

A change return protection device is disclosed which prevents thieves from stuffing flexible material into the change return chutes of coin-operated machines. The device prevents stuffing of the change return chute when the change return door is opened by incorporating a blocking flap and a swinging flap around which the flexible material cannot be inserted. The device also includes a reinforcement plate which more securely joins the blocking flap to the change return door and a flat plate having V-shaped notch with sharpened edges which further prevents stuffing. Finally, the device includes an adjustable screw which restricts the size of the coin return door opening. The device is suitable for use in existing change return mechanisms.

Change return protection device

An improvement in a coin operated device having coin return bucket and a bank box wherein the coin return bucket and the bank box are mounted within the device near a bottom wall of the device. The improvement relates to preventing tampering with and/or vandalization of the device by cutting or penetration of a bottom wall of the coin return bucket or the inner wall of the bank box. The improvement lies in the use of a bottom wall protection plate which prevents tampering and/or vandalization and which is inserted between the bottom wall of the device and the bottom of the coin return bucket and an inner side wall protection plate inserted between the inner wall of the coin return bucket and the inner wall of the bank box. The bottom wall protection plate is so configured as to generally follow the contour of the bottom of the coin return bucket and has a rear portion which extends downwardly to the bottom wall of the device and front portion of which lies along the bottom wall of the device and which stabilizes the bottom wall protection plate from movement within the device. The inner side wall protection plate is configured to be inserted between the inner wall of the coin return bucket and the controlling plate of the bank box and the bottom wall of the bank box and the exterior bottom wall of the device.

Coin bucket change return and bank box protection device

A change return protection device is disclosed which prevents thieves from stuffing flexible material into coin-operated machines' coin return chutes. The device seals off the change return's change return chute when the change return door is opened, and it prevents stuffing of the change return chute by also incorporating a blocking flap and a slot blocking plate around which the flexible material cannot be inserted. The slot blocking plate has a V-shaped notch itself having sharpened edges which further prevents stuffing. In a preferred embodiment the edges of the notch are formed from two crossed replaceable razor blades which are removably mounted in the device. The device is suitable for use in existing change return mechanisms.
