Abstract: A knife or hoof knife where the cutting blade element of the hoof knife is flexibly mounted in the knife handle, at least partially compensating rough motions during trimming. The knife with this design therefore fits more comfortably in the hand and enables, for example, wrist-friendly trimming of a horse's hoof. The flexibility can also be varied by the use of damping elements with different hardnesses and by designing the cutting blade element as an exchangeable module, so that different cutting blade elements can be provided on one handle element.

Abstract: A shoeing system for horses' hooves comprises a shoe (3) and shoe insert (2) of shock-absorbing material between the hoof and shoe. The single-part or multiple-part insert (2) is matched to the shape of the horse shoe (3) and is nailed in the front area between the hoof and shoe and can move in the rear area with the hoof relative to the shoe. This mobility is ensured by a sliding member (26) situated between the insert (2) and the shoe (3) and capable of moving relative to the shoe. In the heel area, the insert is provided on its inner side with beading (22) which both permits and restricts displacement of the insert.

Abstract: In an automatic gear-shifting mechanism for a shiftable transmission of motor vehicles, with two adjusting mechanisms which are each vertically pivotal about a vertical bearing and which displace a shifting lever of the gear-shifting transmission into the gear positions according to a test program, two freely movable horizontal bearings for the horizontal movement of the shifting lever are coordinated to the adjusting mechanisms and the adjusting mechanisms are constructed as electric stepping motors. The testing program is obtained with the use of the respective gear-shifting transmission.
