Application led January 9, 1912. Serial No. 670,151.

To all 'whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK GOELLMAN, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at- Leigh, in the county of Colfax and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Stock-Waterer; and I do hereby declare theV following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such'as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a new and useful stock waterer.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a device of this nature, adapted to be embedded partially within the ground and provided with a hood at each end, which may be removed, if desired, in the summer time, and allowed to remain in the winter. One of the features of constructionarelative to the hood is the means for removably supporting the platform of each hood to the casing of the waterer, and to further construct the hood in such wise as to permit it to be slidably connected to the casing.

A further object of the invention is the provision of removable slidable perforated. trays, through which the water or othe fluid percolates, whereby the stock may gain access thereto, through the openings in the top of the casing. Y

A further object of the invention is the provision of a simple, novel and efficient stock waterer, and one which has been found practical, and one in which the water or other fluid is fed thereto from beneath, there being a float valve to control the depth of the water or fluid.

The invention comprises further features and combination of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the'improved stock waterer constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the hoods, showing its platform disassembled. Fig. 4 is an end view, partly in section, showing the means for fastening the platforms in position. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of one of the perforated trays.

Referring more especially to the drawings 1 designates the main casing of the stock waterer, which may be of any desired shape and dimensions suitable for the purpose. This casing is embedded in an excavation as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. On the interior of t-he casing at each end are guides 2, in which the removable tray 3 is arranged. P lvoted locking latches 4 are pivoted to the sldes of the caslng, adapted to hold the trays 1n position in the guides. These trays are perforated as shown at- 5. Extending through the ground, through which the water or other fluid may pass, from any suitable source of supply (not shown) is a pipe 6, which enters the casing `through its bottom, there being a valve 8, fory cutting otll the supply of fluid. As the fluid enters the casing to the desired height a float 9 is elevated,"which has connections 10 and 1l with the valve, thereby closing the valve. The top portion of the casing at each end is provided with openings 12, through which the stock may reach the fluid in the perforated trays. The central portion of the top is in the form of a cover, which may be removed if desired, so as to gain access to the iiterior of the casing, thereby rendering it possible to remove the perforated trays. This cover extends higher than the ends of the top, and is designated by the numeral 13. This cover is yheld in position by the end portions of the top, as shown in Fig. 2, and prevented from lateral movement by the extensions 14 of the cover, which extensions extend down.

between the sides of the casing.

On each side of the easing. and at each end are the guide strips 15 and the supports 16. The hood (which is of the shape shown in Fig. 3) designated by the numeral 17 is provided with extensions 18, which engage on each side of the casing, so as to be supported by the supports 16. These extensions 18 are guided to position by the guides 15. By this construction. the hoods are adapted to arch down over the casing. The hoods are extended outwardly and laterally over the platforms 20, and are provided with end wings or sides 21. thus affording unique shelters for the stock. If desired one or both of the hoods may be removed. As a rule, however, only one is removed at a time, in case stock other thanlhogs and the like desire to partake of the water. Each end of the casing is formed with a recess 22 which extends transversely of the casing. These recesses receive the extensions 23 of the platforms 20. Extending downwardly through the top of the easing at each end are rods 24, which pass throu h the recesses and the extension 23, thusa Ording means for securely fastening the platforms in posiend :engaging the guides and the. supports,

tions. The platforms are extended over `the sides of the casing at each end, thus supporting the outer portionsof the hoods.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is:

1. In a stock' waterer, a casing-y having a removable perforated tray therein at each end thereof and provided with openings at' each end in its top so that access may be hadto the contents in the trays, the casing having guides and supports on its sides, and hoods arching down over the casing at each the casing at each end having recesses extending transversely thereof, platforms beneath the hoods havin extensions arranged in the recesses, and ro s extending vertically through the recesses and engaging the extension t us locking the platforms 1n position.

v 2. In a stock Waterer, a casing having rosario.I L A openings in each end in its top and rovidd with recesses extendin transverse y of the casing at each end, p atforms having extensions arranged in the recesses, and rods extending vert1cally through the recesses and through theextenslons thus locking the platv forms in position, the casing having guides and supports at each end of the casing on each side, and hoods having extensions over the platforms and provided with end wings arching down over the casing at each end and engaging the Guides and the supports.l

' In testlmony .w ereof I have signed my name to this .specification in the presence of t-Wo subscribing Witnesses.
