FEED-BAG.
Specicaton of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 16, 1912.
Application led April 25, 191'1. Serial No. 623,161.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, HUGO A. GRUENER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburgh, in the count of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, ave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Feed-Bags, of which the follow.- ing is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to feed bags, and the primary object of my invention is to provlde a sanitary and Well ventilated feed receptacle that permits of plenty of air being obtained by a horse whereby the dust and other matter within the feed will not be inhaled.
Another object of this invention is to furnish a feed rece tacle with a spring supported feed holdldr that will be gradually elevated as the feed is consumed, thereby allowing the horse to obtain the entire contents of the feed holder.
A further object of this invention is to provide a feed receptacle that is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture and easy to clean and maintain in a sanitary condition.
I attain the aboveobjects by a mechanical construction that will be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed, and reference will now be had to the drawing, wherein'like numerals designate correspond'- ing parts throughout the several views, in which Figure l is a side elevation of the feed receptacle. Fig. 2 is an enlarged front elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a similar view with the outer cage removed. Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse sectional view of the same, and Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fi 4.
A bag or receptacle in accor ance with this invention comprises a strip of fabric 14 having the ends thereof connected by straps 2 and a buckle 3. Attached to the lower inner edges of the strip of fabric 1, which constitute the mouth of the receptacle, is an inner foraminous or perforated shell 4, and surrounding this inner shell is an outer basket shaped cage 5 having the bottom 6 thereof engagin the lower edges of the inner shell 4. T e upper ed es of the cage 5 are suitably connected to e outer edges of the mouth of the rece tacle and the outer cage is preferably ma e of coa-rse interwoven wire and the shell 4 of a liner of interwoven wire. v
Arranged upon the bottom 6 of the cage 5 are two opposed compression springs 7 havin the upper convolutions thereof connecte to the bottom 8 of a feed holder 9, Said feed holder being preferably made of a fine grade of interwoven wire with the meshes or openings thereof finer than the shell 4.
To support the feed bag or receptacle u on a horses head 10 straps 11 can be emp oyed, said straps having the ends thereof vconnected to oppositely disposed sides of the piece of fabric 1 and the other ends of saidestraps connected by a buckle 12.
The cage 5 and the shell 4 permit of plenty of air entering the feed bag or receptacle and the springs 7, which are placed under compression by the weight of feed within the holder 9 gradually elevate the holder and maintain the feed within said holder in position to be obtained by the horse. By gradually elevating the feed holder, it is not necessary for a horse to shake his head in order to stir up or obtain the feed within the holder, such practice causing considerable feed to be lost.
The strip of fabric 1 can be adjusted to snugly fit the nose of a horse, thus preventing the feed from being spilled should the horse have the habit of throwing up his head. When the strip of fabric is clamped around the nose of the horse, the breathing is not interrupted as plenty of air is admitted to the lower end of the bag or receptacle.
What I claim is-z- A feed bag comprising an extensible ilaring mouth piece formed of a relatively wide strip of fabric, means for adjustably connecting the ends of said Strip together for increasing and decreasin the diameter of the mouth piece, supporting means for said bag connected to theperiphery of said stri grade -a cylindrical receptacle forming throug out a wide mesh and including a bottom, an open top and a body portion of the same diameter throughout, said receptacle at its top extending over and secured to said mouth piece, a Wire mesh shell open at its ends, positioned within and of a diameter as to engage the inner face of said receptacle, said shell supported upon the bottom of said receptacle and having its upper portion extending upon and secured to the inner face of said mouth piece, said shell of materially smaller mesh than the mesh of the receptacle to prevent the spilling of the feed through the bottom of the receptacle, a plurality of compression springs arranged Within and having` their lower ends conneoted to the bottom of the receptacle, and a relatively deep cup-shaped Wire mesh feed holder having its bottom connected to the upper ends of said springs, said holder re- In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
