UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE LEWIS CLARK, OF MOUNT GILEAD, OI IIO.
' FEED-RECEPTACLE.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that T. Gnome L. CLARK, a citizen of the United States, residing at; Mount Gilead, in the county of Morrow and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in l ecd-lteccptacles, of which the following is a specification.
hly invention relates to the improvement of feed receptacles of that class which are -particularly adapted for use in fQQCllIlI- poultry, butwhich may be adapted for use insupplying feed for-live stock of any kind.
The objects of my invention are to provide a simple, inexpensive and ctl'ective teed receptacle and dispensing device in which a suspended feed Cup will have food auto--' matically discharged therein as the previously discharged food is removed from said cup; to provide improved means for 5115-- pending the feed cupin connection with the reservoir or hopper whereby clogging of the hopper reservoir outlet, will-be prevented and whereby the feed cup may be adjusted to the desired height with reference to the discharge end of the reservoir or hopper; to provide improved meansfor supporting my improved device either from the ground or in connectionwith a building wall or other structure and to "produce other improvements the details of construction of which will be more fully pointed out hereinafter.
These objects I accomplish in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in
Figure l is a. side elevation of my improved feed device, Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the same, Fig.1?) is a plan view with the c'bver removed, and, Fig. 4 is a detail view showing a slight modification of the means for suspending the feed cup rod.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Tn carrying out my invention, I employ a hollow tapering body having the. form of an inverted cone i'rustum, which body may be formed of sheet metal or other suitable materiah 'lhc substantially conical-body thus produced is adapted to be supported with its lower and smaller end above the ground by means oi suitable supporting.
the receptacle and insure itsretention in an upright position whemsuspended by means of the-arm 3, I provide at alower point on said receptacle an outwardly projecting bracket 5 which is adapted to? bear "against the supporting wall. 3
\Vithin the upper portion" of the recepta etc, I provide a fixeddiametrically' arranged bar or rod 6 havinga central hole G therethrougln-of suttieiently large diameter to permit the upper'threaded portionof the depending rod -7 to pass loosely therethrough, thusenabling said rod tohave a limited. swinging movement relative to-the receptacle. The lower end' of this rod 7 which extends cent-rally through the lower end opening of the receptacle 1, engages and supports thecent-ral portion of a feed cup 8, the latter being prefe ably of greater diameter than the lower portion. of the receptacle 1 j Upon the upper threaded end portion of the rod 7 above the bar 6 is provided a suitable form of nut 9 by turning which the rod 7 may be drawn upward or moved downward to increase or decrease. the distance between the lower end of the receptacle .1 and the bottom of the cup 8. It will be understood, however, that the lower and smaller end of the receptacle 1 normally projects slightly within the upper open end of said cup, s
Upon the upper sideof the receptacle 1, I provide a suitable detachable cover 10 which may be of any desired outline and which serves to close the otlwrwise-open upper end or' the receptacle.
in utilizing my device, it will be understood that. the receptacle 1 is filled to the desired extent with chicken or other feed to be discharged from the lower end thereof and that'thc feed thus discharged will tend to fill or partially fill the feed cup. As the amount of feed will be discharged through the lower end of the receptacle into the cup and the cup thus retained in its properly filled condition until all or substantially all 5 of the feed in the receptacle, has been dis 'charged therefrom. v
By forming the central opening of the bar 6 of slightly greater diameter than the rod 7, it is obvious that the cup 8 and rod 7 may be subjected to a limited swinging movement, which may be caused by the action of the chickens or other animals feeding from the cup. This swinging movement of the rod 7 'must necessarily operate to .sufiiciently agitate thematerial within the receptacle, as to prevent any tendency of such material clogging in the lower portion of the receptacle, thus insuring a free discharge of feed therefrom.-
In Fig. 4 of the drawing, I have shown a slightly modified construct on of the manner of connecting the supporting rod 7 and bar or rod 6, such means consisting in theformation of a crank bend in the center of the rod 6' and loosely hooking in connection therewith the upper end of the rod 7 This latter construction may be employed where it is desired to'secure a more free swinging movement of the feed cup and its su porting rod or where it is not particularly esirable to adjust the swinging rod as to height.
From the construction which I have shown and described, it will be seen that a comparatively simple feed device is provided, which when constructed of a suitable size will form an etlicient means for feeding poultry or live stock generally.
From the foregoing description, it will seen that simple and efiicient means are herein provided for accomplishing the objects of the inventioni but while the elements v such rod has a limited swinging movement relative to the caslng, a feed cup secured at the lower end of said rod, a perforatedlug secured to thecasing adjacent to the top thereof, and a bracket projecting from the side of the'ca'sing adapted to cooperate with the lug to retain the casing in a vertical or upright position when the device is attached to a wall or the like.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
