UNITED SAENT onmc HENRY L. FEBRIS, OF HARVARD, ILLINOIS, ASSIG-NOR TO HUNT, HELM, FERRIS & COMPANY, OF HARVARD, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.

STALL CONSTRUCTION.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I HENRY L. FERRIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Harvard, in the county of McHenry and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stall Construction, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain new and useful im rovements in stall construction, and is ful y described and explained in the specification and shown in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of the end of a stall embodying my construction, and Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, 3 is a bottom bar of a stall-end and 4 is an inverted U- shaped member attached thereto and forming therewith the end proper. Supported at the upper end of the member 4, preferably by a swivel, is a stanchion 5 which may be of any desired form. Mounted upon the lower bar 3 of the stall-end are brackets 6 connected by a chain 7 to the center of which the lower end of the stanchion is secured preferably by a swivel of obvious construction. This arrangement is such that providing a very slight amount of slack in the chain 7, the lower end of the stanchion can be freely swung back and forth while the upper end ,is held in a relatively immovable position, and neither end of the stanchion can be substantially moved transversely of the frame.

I am aware that considerable variation is possible in the details of the preferred form Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 14, 1912. Serial No. 688,761.
