PATENT OFFICE.

The present invention relates to such a manure bag for horses, elephants and others Animal, which is hung below the tail on the sling and serves to hold the castings immediately record and in such a way any soiling of the ground BEZW. the To prevent penalty. The new thing about the manure bag is, on the one hand, the stiffening the bag by a suitably arranged system of rods made of whalebone and the like., on the other hand in the arrangement of an automatically acting disinfection device. These bodies have the purpose of making the bag itself more resilient and those covered in the same Castings are harmless from a hygienic point of view. do.

In the drawing shows:

Fig. Ι a side view of the manure bag,

Fig. 2 is a front view,

Fig. 3 is the top view of the same;

Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section on the line 1-1 of Fig. 3;

Fig. 5 shows the spreading device containing the disinfectant in section and in on a larger scale.

The bag or container a, which is most suitably given the shape of a pear, is suspended by its narrower, upper end from the tail loop b , while the lower part is suspended from a belt b ³ encompassing the same, which is fastened to the revolving belt b ^l , is held and, in the case of riding horses, receives additional support from the belt & ⁴ that goes after the saddle girth b ^2. This bag a is made of rubber, leather or other suitable material, the walls being stiffened and held apart by rods a ² made of whalebone, hard rubber and the like. In its upper, narrower part there is the opening a \ , which is adapted to the shape of the animal's body and is likewise enclosed by a stiffening band α ² . The free ends α ⁴ this. The strap grip the tail loop b in the shape of a hook and in this way connect the bag to the strap.

Inside the bag a special container c is provided which contains disinfection material to destroy the foul vapors of the castings and to render them harmless themselves. For this purpose the container c is constructed in such a way that the falling castings automatically cause the outflow of a certain amount of the material stored in it, which then immediately mixes with the castings. The front wall c ^{l of} the box c is curved in the shape of a curve ^{and provided with an opening c 2} at the bottom, which is usually kept closed by a widely projecting lid protruding into the bag (FIGS. 4 and 5). However, as soon as falling castings hit its projecting part, it snaps under the pressure of this into the position shown in dotted lines in FIGS. 4 and 5, whereby the opening c ² becomes free and the disinfection material can flow out until the

Lid is moved back into its closed position again by the torsion springs c ^5. Of course, this occurs immediately when no more castings fall into the bag.

The suspension of the container c in the bag is done by a hook c ⁴ , which engages behind a protruding part α ^{3 of} the back wall of the bag, which enables easy removal of the container when the same is to be filled with disinfection material again or the bag is to be emptied .

Claims (1)

Patent Claims: ι. Manure bag for horses, elephants and the like, which is hung up by means of hooks (cfi) on the tail loop of the sling, characterized in that the same is provided with a container (c) containing disinfection material, the protruding, automatically closing lid (c ³ ) of which through the falling castings are opened, whereby the material heaped up in the container can flow out in substance through the opening (c ² ) provided on the bottom and mix with the castings. '
At one by claim i. marked manure bag, the stiffening of the same by suitably arranged straps (d ² ) made of whalebone and the like, in order to prevent the flexible walls of the same from collapsing under the weight of the container (c) and thereby interfering with the movement of the lid (c ^% ).
